Firepower in Trek is absolutely comically more powerful than in Star Wars. Like to an absurd degree. From that perspective, it wouldn't even be a fight.

Factor in transporters being able to do stuff like beam a photon torpedo onboard and it gets more comical.

That said, Star Wars ships (at least in hyperspace) are vastly faster than Star Trek ships, so I'd imagine that would be amazing in terms of warfare logistics.

24 plate... So bought between the 1st of March and 31st of August 2024...

That's definitely after Musk went crazy.

Granted, people may not have seen the news of Musk calling someone a paedophile (2018 according to another commenter), I can certainly see that being the case.

But I dunno, by 2024 so much had been publicised that I doubt anybody wouldn't have heard at least a couple of bad things about him.

Hahaha there's a big difference between a court ruling that you have to provide member lists to the courts if they request it, and "companies are allowed to freely publish personally-identifiable information about their users"

Jesus. That's the best you can do?

Broadly yeah, pinched between my thumb and fingers, though of course I don't eat it vertically lol

Precisely.

Tthey said that they started work on it and by the time they submitted it, they found out that others had already done the same (of course they wouldn't have known this when they started the legwork), but that ultimately that doesn't matter because if it goes class-action โ€“ which is their desired path of action โ€“ the cases will be combined anyway.

If anything it's beneficial that multiple people took this up, it should make class-action more likely.

Scottish?

Cunt is almost certainly Germanic in origin. Old Norse most likely.

For the UK specifically, it likely comes from the Latin variant cunnus, meaning vulva. And Romans didn't spend a great deal of time north of modern-day Newcastle, a fair bit south of the border.

Ding ding ding. This user knows how people operate.

This is bewildering. What a shame.

I had minor gripes with some of their services but Proton has broadly been pretty great in my eyes.

Some CEOs baffle me. Surely, even if they are massive fans of one US political party over the other, they'd have the sense to keep it to themselves to prevent it becoming a thing that causes a fallout with existing/potential customers? But no. They're too fucking narcissistic for that, and they think everyone wants to hear their opinions and follow them.

Again shifting the topic.

I've read the article. It's nonsensical and it's lying about what he said.

Try reading it again. Slowly. Very very slowly. With an adult if it helps.

I think you're exactly right.

It's impossible to discuss this in any reasonable sense because you'll just get dismissed as a pro-genocide Nazi by some people and as a Jew-hating Nazi by the other.

God forbid I have the opinion that mass-murdering civilians at a music festival is morally wrong and so is working to wipe out people in Gaza.

Apparently only one can be wrong and I have to celebrate the other! And if an extremely deceptive article get published, I have to ignore the lies and claim that it's 100% true, but only if they agree with my side.

Honestly this comment section is depressing. It's like seeing climate change deniers. Nobody seems to care about what actually happened, they care about whether the way it was falsely framed pushes their worldview or not.

Yes it did. Did you even read the article?

I'm beginning to think you're the one who can't read properly. You're definitely arguing in bad faith.

Mate, you really are jumping from one argument to the next as soon as your original one gets proven wrong, aren't you?

That's not even what was being discussed, this isn't about my views but of Starmer's.

But I'll indulge you... look at my comments โ€“ I've been pretty clear that my view is that Israel is committing genocide.

I don't know what you have to be smoking to think I'm pro-Israel. They're a shitty genocidal ethnostate.

But me being anti-Israel does not mean I'm fine with misinformation like what Middle East Eye is publishing. I'm allowed to call out deceptive "journalism" when I see it, regardless of who's "side" I'm on.
