Splitters

So says the Omnissiah.

MSG is just a kind of salt. It’s absolutely fine and one guy basically said “I always get a headache after eating Chinese food, it must be those darn Chinese people’s fault” and created a completely bullshit study out of nowhere and the health food nuts jumped on it and now here we are and even in China MSG has become a dirty word.

tldr: food tastes better with a little MSG and there’s no link between it and any known health issue.

There’s a not insignificant number of people here who are so obsessed with how they are free from US/EU propaganda that they’ve gone full circle and lap up literal Russian state media as a reliable source.

Literal conversation I had with a coworker earlier:

Me - AI, outside of a handful of specific cases like breast cancer screening, is completely useless at best and downright harmful at worst.

Coworker - no AI is pretty good actually, I used ChatGPT to improve my CV.

Me - did you get the job?

Coworker -

Tomato tomato

It does fall under the (completely bullshit) definition of an act of terrorism though.

This comment can see you arrested for expressing support of a proscribed terrorist organisation. This could have you jailed for up to 6 months and/or a fine of up to £5,000

And that fact is fucking stupid.

A pretty large spreadsheet into which goes all the incomings and outgoings, logged and averaged over 12 months to give a pretty accurate idea of how much disposable income me and my partner will have after all the bills and savings have been calculated.

Still no excuse for the officer to kick the guy in the head and try to get him again.

Worst of all is he’s trying to spin it as an attempt to subdue him, despite the fact he’s already on the floor, been tasered, and is being restrained by another officer.

Circumstances will almost certainly justify him getting angry and lashing out. He’s just been punched multiple times, seen two female officers get laid out in front of him, it’s understandable that he saw red and acted excessively but he’s decided to go for a lie that he acted in a rational and considered manner.

Yes

Hey, I don’t particularly like Oasis either but there’s no need to be a nob

Yeah duh. Even if there’s no improvement in water quality at least our money won’t be going to shareholders and CEOs. Just that would be an improvement.

No. I put it in the air fryer

McNulty

Drawing attention to the abuse of these powers is now terrorism. Please hand yourself in to your nearest police station for reeducation.

Rod Liddle has always been a piece of shit and this is absolutely standard operating procedure for him.

Don’t forget that he ditched his wife and their young children, on their honeymoon, to instead shack up with a younger woman, who he later assaulted while she was pregnant.

I once had a really long running bout of hiccups, like more than a day and it was really draining on me and I was very tired. I looked myself in the mirror and said “you don’t have hiccups any more” and they stopped immediately.

Tried it again several times since and it never worked again but for that brief moment I was invincible.

They likely believe they’re doing all this in God’s name even though it is entirely against the actual teachings of Jesus.

He said also to the man who had invited him, “When you give a dinner or a banquet, do not invite your friends or your brothers or your relatives or rich neighbors, lest they also invite you in return and you be repaid. But when you give a feast, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind, and you will be blessed, because they cannot repay you. For you will be repaid at the resurrection of the just.”

Luke 14:12-14
