  1. some kind of natural feature there

    Yeah. There's a desert. Deserts are fucking awesome.

    I like the Mojave Desert. It's better even than the Western edge of the Sahara and that's got some gorgeous desert mountains.

  2. I was trying to work out if Elon is becoming Trump or just unduly influenced by him.

  4. You're very much like the trans people I know. Normal, with a small facet of your life that most people don't need to deal with it.

    Be assured that I don't think the freaks represent you.

  5. Turns out the privileged majority fight hard when you threaten their privilege:

    Of course, the Labour party are the people that changed the law to make it legal for them to discriminate against men. Amazed they found the time in between ruining the economy and taking the UK into illegal wars.

  6. I've known a few trans people. They were all just trying to get on with their lives.

    But they would also not use idiotic terms like "trying to erase me" so maybe I only know intelligent trans people.

  7. No police were called. No stress or strain

    Yet...

    He was store security. The woman who I had talked to had alerted them that I was there and could probably use some help

    Clearly he and she both thought there was a risk of stress and strain. You may have been thinking it was all fine but others were not.

  8. In the UK you'd be struggling to meet legal requirements for gender based pay reporting.

    Of course, it's all a crock of shit anyway but the requirement is there nonetheless.

  9. All those girls that like a bit of anal are homosexual? I didn't know that.

  10. Last I saw bathrooms in the US had individual stalls. So basically, sure, why not?

    Anyway, she might like bald guys with tattoos. Could be the beginning of a beautiful friendship.

    That people will suddenly use their Yahoo/GMail/Facebook account that you force them to create?

    I thought Flickr required you to use a Yahoo account because they were owned by Yahoo. "Have an account with us to access our service" isn't terribly unreasonable.

    All of which is irrelevant as the new owners are removing that requirement, which makes the rest of your post entirely redundant.

    Not to worry, I'm sure it'll be viewed in court by the judge and jury, and more evidence is a good thing.

    How will this reduce freedom of movement?

    Current situation: Uniformed official asks you questions, validates that it's legitimate for you to enter the country.
    Future situation: Computer program asks you questions, validates that it's legitimate for you to enter the country. If it can't provide validation then it hands off to a uniformed official who asks you questions and validates that it's legitimate for you to enter the country.

    Wait? The future state is cheaper for the Government to operate and yet offers twice the chances for you to successfully enter the country? Yeah, really fucking hurting freedom of movement there.

    What the fuck does that have to do with it?

    Right now there is screening for EU citizens moving within the EU. There is screening for non-EU citizens moving within the EU. There is screening for anybody entering the EU.

    Where the Schengen agreement allows people to skip the whole business now why would you assume it would be different in the future?

    Well, shit. You really want me to include the millions killed by Che, Mao, Stalin and others sharing their politics?

    Or do you want to just acknowledge the fairly uncontroversial point that I was making which is that political violence is committed in support of a very wide range of political views.

    Your side

    You don't know which side that is. For instance..

    you're just a whiny apologist for violent fascists

    You're making shit up. I haven't apologised for anybody. I don't support violent fascists. I also don't support violent anti-fascists. One of those seems to upset you.

    You scream "Antifa" because they look scary

    No. I drew Antifa into the conversation because they've been declared a terrorist organisation. My views on them are irrelevant to that designation.

    Take it up with the US Government if you disagree.

    One Antifa member attempted to murder seven people with a bike lock. Fortunately he showed all the competence of the average Antifa member.

    But it's not me calling them terrorists, it's the US government.

    Incidentally 2001 is an interestingly arbitrary date. Democrat kill a bunch of people in 2000 or something?

    censoring (i.e. deleting or hiding) any videos that question the veracity of the synagogue 'attack'. Why is that?

    Because only hateful racist idiots are posting them?
    Because there's plentiful evidence that someone murdered people in a synagogue?
    Because there's someone charged with multiple counts of murder?

    Fucking hell, feel free to be a fuckwit but please, do try not to infest the rest of us.

    Yes, there are incidents at some protests. But one side has a real problem with more than just idiots and vandals, it has people convinced that there is a literal war and that they are soldiers in it.
