I’d pay to see one of those little DOGE wankers forced to work on a construction site

Didn’t read, don’t want to be surprised.

You’re so clueless mate, why do you keep posting?

[Britannica] and other dictionaries

The fact that you don’t know the difference between a dictionary and an encyclopaedia suggests that you’re not exactly an authority on the matter.

Here are some actual dictionary references:

• oed

• cambridge

• Merriam Webster

It just English.

Lol

Martyrs die willingly for their cause

Even taking the Roman Catholic definition (i.e where the word martyr comes from that’s completely wrong.

They are victims not martyrs

These two categories are not mutually exclusive.

You come across as the sort of person that would berate a grieving parent for referring to their dead child as a “little angel”.

In other cultures, the word martyr carries very different meanings. These children’s families and communities consider them to be martyrs.

In the context, I think its entirely appropriate to adopt language which reflects the cultural background of the victims, and it’s frankly quite insensitive of you to be quibbling over usages.

Look, I’ll agree that the US has abysmal press freedom, but they’re not quite at the level of Russia or NK yet.

Yeah this is AI.

Found the “artist” on Instagram

When you see their hand drawn comics it becomes pretty obvious why they use AI. Honestly I find it bizarre that you’d put your signature on something generated by a computer?

Ooooohhhhh I get it now, cheers

I’d lean toward two people being featured. An average Joe male and a decathlete female or some such. There are some events that even an average man would crush

This is what I was talking about?

Lol I don’t think you can compare a local powerlifting comp with the Olympics. For reference, the current record for the women’s 49kg weight class clean and jerk is 117kg. The average American man is ~90kg, which would put them in the 87kg+ weight class, where the womens record for the snatch is 140kg. I think you’d be hard pressed to find an average Joe who could snatch his bodyweight, let alone ~1.5x .

What events do you reckon an average Joe would crush? I’m struggling to think of one.

…if we’re ever to really neutralise the threats that are coming towards us from the Trumps, the Putins, and their really extremist supporters in Australia. I can assure you now those extremist supporters are not in the New South Wales Police Force.

I’ve got a bridge to sell this guy.

There’s plenty of clippy to go around, no need to resort to illegal dance fights.

Microsoft, I’ll do it for access to the cafeteria and a clippy body pillow.

What do you eat then? Spirulina? Yeast?

No, you’re allowed to say that. I’m also allowed to say that I’m pro babylon, and Nebuchadnezzar did nothing wrong.

American politics is hilarious – she has an “official merch store”?
