On the contrary. A post with (currently) 45 upvotes states exactly “Thinking of putting up Palestine stuff in my windows just to dare them to come get me.”

Notably, it doesn’t say what you claim it says. You need to learn to read English.

Oh, OK. Please explain to me what it really says.

On the contrary. A post with (currently) 45 upvotes states exactly “Thinking of putting up Palestine stuff in my windows just to dare them to come get me.”

This is exactly what I mean. Putting up Palestine stuff is just fine, perfectly legal, and you cannot be arrested for it.

If she really wants to be daring she should put up Palestine Action stuff in her windows.

PA probably aren’t terrorists, just protesters who took it a bit too far, but the facts are: they broke into an airbase and damaged RAF jets by pouring paint into their engines. This will take those jets out of commission until the damage has been assessed; maybe the paint will just wash or burn off, but maybe they’ll need to be replaced, which is a cost that could run into millions because jet engines aren’t exactly cheap. So a case could be made that they are also terrorists, but it’s a bit of a stretch.

“rooting out opposition to the genocide” No, we’re not doing that. There’s plenty of opposition and it’s fine; we live in a democracy and people are free to support whoever they want to support (in this case: as long as it’s the Palestinians in general, not Hamas).

Someone should post this in ADHD Memes with the text “I’ve got ADHD and these organs therefore having ADHD is a pre-requisite to having these organs” and see if anyone notices.

Because they broke into an airbase and damaged some RAF planes. That was the problem, not protesting about the war in Gaza, which is still legal.

You were young and stupid once. You know perfectly well that back then whenever you did something for the first time it was also the first time anyone in the entire history of the universe had done that thing.

My hypothesis is that they hide. So I saturate all the hiding places so they have nowhere left to hide.

When I buy something known for liking to hide, I buy N of them and place them all in a designated “I’ve got N of these things” place (P). Then I put 1 in its home. When it hides, I get its replacement. When that hides, same again. When there are none left in P, I buy N more. Eventually they have nowhere left to hide and finding one is easy. Consequently, they stop hiding.

I think that’s about the polar opposite of where we’re going with this.

Am I the only one that’s disappointed the glass top is supported by their elbows?

That’s just bad teaching. If you’re not allowed to use negatives then the teacher shouldn’t be asking questions where negatives are the answer. 20-25 is NOT equal to zero whether you’ve learnt negatives or not.

I’m sure the Israelis expelled from other countries where land was stolen from them will be pleased to hear this.

your “For the hard of thinking” comment just comes off as the most insufferable

That’s a fair call and I’ve updated my comment. As a native English speaker who knows to varying degrees a few other languages I know it’s a tricky language so I wanted to clarify the distinction between “Palestine Action” and “Palestine action”.

However it can be used to point out someone’s hypocrisy. If country A is genociding people from country B, while screaming about people from country B genociding people from country C, “what about your genocide” is an appropriate response.

Ah, the old “all British are nazis”. About as accurate as “all tankies are…” comments.

Brit here. I’d be happy to accept Dem voters. Fart voters can stay at home and eat their own dogshit. Non-voters too; they knew exactly who FartV1 was and I am genuinely surprised Harris couldn’t get in simply on “I’m not Fart”. They really thought she’d be worse?

And for those who get over here by lying about their vote; they incriminate themselves, and will be deported the moment we discover the truth.

Please clarify why you think I’m a Nazi? (I’m not, btw. But maybe I inadvertently expressed something in a Nazi-y way; I haven’t done enough Nazi studies to know what figures of speech to avoid.)

For those for whom English is not their first language, this means the group named “Palestine Action”. It does NOT mean “action and other stuff in favour of Palestine”.

You want to protest the war? Fine, go on right ahead.

You want to put up a “Palestine Action” poster, or wear a “Palestine Action” T-shirt? That’s not fine.

If you’re still struggling to understand the difference, just ask and I’ll be happy to clarify.

Well you lot are just as bad. What’s with Guten Tag? Good Day? Is it still the 1800s in Germany? We stopped using archaic language centuries ago.

Exactly. So many people just don’t understand it. Nobody actually wants to know how your day’s going, it’s just a fancy “hello”. So I reply “hello” and have a little smile to myself while their face shows they’re processing the non-sequitur.

True. I ordered a book from them last week; it arrived in 2 days. Everywhere else, including Waterstones, was “oh we might be able to get it out the door sometime next year, if we can be arsed” so Amazon got the order.

It’s unlikely to be up to anywhere else’s standards. I can’t imagine the Grauniad publishing it. And while the FT’s crossword is famous for being pink and hard in the morning, I doubt they’d find space for it either.
