Yes it can. First you pump the sea full of the most obnoxious, toxic, lethal poison, then you wait for the global food web to collapse, taking humans with it.

Climate will begin to behave within a few hundred years.

Minor correction: Finland is Nordic, but not Scandinavian. It was arguably Scandinavian during the several hundred years it was occupied by Sweden, but that’s a somewhat touchy subject.

I never said it was empathy. I said it’s the closest thing you’ll ever get to it from him.

My bad. I used a double negative, which clearly confused you.

“That doesn’t mean that racism doesn’t exist there” means “racist behaviour almost certainly still goes on there”.

I can try to break this down to words of just one sound if you like, but to do that might be too mean, and it’s hard to write like this as well.

Nominally non-racist. Back during apartheid, South Africa was definitely racist. Now apartheid is over, everyone there, regardless of race, is supposed to be equal.

That doesn’t mean that racism doesn’t exist there, just that it’s no longer encoded into law, and indeed the opposite might be encoded, regarding hate crimes and the like.

South Africa isn’t a threat to America, no, but living in a post-apartheid, nominally non-racist country is super uncomfortable for rich, white racists. They perceive the situation as them being in danger, and this has triggered the closest thing to empathy that you’ll ever get out of DJT.

Not sure he’s been accused of killing any.

I’ll be that guy.

“lose” / “loses” are the words you’re looking for.

This is one of those situations where English doesn’t make sense. “loose” doesn’t rhyme with “choose”, but “lose” does, yet all other “-ose” words rhyme with “nose”.

“Lose” is the opposite of “win”. “Loose” is the opposite of “tight”.

Those who dehumanise are the true subhumans.

I’m surprised those signs don’t include sinistralité. Those left-handed f–kers are up to something even worse than the gays, I’m sure of it.

(/s is for satire and that’s good enough for me)

I have nothing against China as in the landmass, nor most of the people that live there. They have an ancient history, a fascinating set of languages, interesting culture, wildlife, natural beauty, but beyond that, the Chinese are just people, trying to get by, like everyone everywhere else.

What I don’t like is the way the country is run. Especially the fact that I’d be unwise to go there for espousing such an opinion.

I could say much the same of Russia, for that matter.

And my own government and the other parties who stand a chance of becoming a future government here all seem to be headed in a similar direction and I don’t like that either.

So now they’ll dump it in a warehouse somewhere and raise prices to pay rent on that warehouse like all good scam recycling companies do.

And they’ll tell the EU that they’re waiting for an opportunity to sell it but that hasn’t arisen yet. And thus, by and large, they won’t change how they operate.

Freedom to kiss Putin’s ring? What more could you want?

At first glance, sure. But then, strength in conviction and leadership mean nothing if you’re strongly leading your people and your country into ruin.

Good call. They unprinced Andrew, they can unlord Mandy.

Sure you can, but why fabricate evidence against someone when you can trick them into making real evidence?

The hard job of fabrication begins if and only if that fails.

Nah. He has other tricks. Sending in armed goons and cheating at golf are a couple of them.

I suppose you could go to the root of all these for the real lone trick: being a self-serving piece of [redacted]

And Israel only need bring up that Australia did something similar with their own brown people a while back, so why can’t they do it right now?

“That was then, this is now.” is not the greatest of arguments.

Which is why I said we should leave that can at the back of the cupboard.

Tricky prospect. If they admit Australia on that criterion, they’d have no good reason to not admit Israel if they asked to join, and that’s a can of worms I don’t think Europe would want to open. Best leave that can at the back of the cupboard.

Now, if we could find some other criterion, I don’t see why not. Sticking it to Britain by accepting all of the Commonwealth except Britain could work as an argument, and might even be popular on the continent.

It would have to be couched in cleverer language, of course, for the sake of plausible deniability.
