      There’s fun scene in burn notice where they fill a can with thermite (aluminum and rust), put in on a gangster’s hood and make him watch it burn through his engine block. This was pre drones and shit. Doesn’t have much to do with this you just reminded me.

      It’s really a sign of the times that “Removed by moderator” is quickly becoming a stand in for the call to action we all know is long overdue.

        Nowhere in my comment did I call for violence 🤷‍♂️ the mods must have a direct line to big balls or something

          You absolutely were (though I disagree with it being removed)

          It would be horrible if they ramped up the rate at which they’re doing it in DC.

          Sarcasm isn’t a magic cloak of deniability.

            What? I’m sorry you believe you can detect sarcasm through text, but that’s only possible through assumptions and projection. My comment very literally is against it.

              Did the author die, or was it murder?

              Sarcasm and irony can both be expressed through text, and neither require projection or assumption (beyond that required to establish basic context (like language)) when written or when expressed verbally. Why are you trying to pretend that’s not the case, when the whole of the written canon is full of thousands of years of ample examples to the contrary?

                But I wasn’t being sarcastic, so your detector is clearly faulty? I’m not sure what to tell you except that you made false assumptions. You can either accept that or you can believe you are all knowing, lol

                  Sure and if you claimed anything different, you’d risk being banned. I get it. It’s transparent, but I get it. Keep on dodging, if you like, I’m not trying to wring a confession out of you, just point out that the removal was justified, and that you’re going to have to try harder if you want to actually convince anyone.
