What was the point of the red flags? Or… why would anyone choose to fly a red flag? I’m trying to understand why anyone would broadcast “if we come near you, you’re fucked”. It seems a bad hunting strategy.
Also, why didn’t merchant ships fly red flags to be less bothered by pirates?
I think you’ve confused our conversation with the other conversations you are having here. I started talking to you when you responded to the hypothetical question “if there were only X and y candidates as options, which would you vote for”, to which you responded with something along the lines of: “neither, you can say ‘none of the above’, you know?”
I’m refuting that with you, voting neither in that hypothetical situation is not saying "none of the above’ it’s saying 'either of the above '.
I see you’re involved in lots of conversations in this thread, where many people disagree with you on points more directly related to the actual situation in hand, so I can understand if you’ve mixed me up with some other context you have elsewhere, but I really don’t care about your country’s election or your candidates or who wins (I care a little, but I am not directly involved or affected), I’m just disagreeing with the evidently false statement you’ve made above. Hopefully this has cleared up the conversation.
I’m not talking about the narrative you’ve got in your head about what statements you’re making with your actions, I’m also not including what you suppose or predict the result of the vote to be, that’s not logical or helpful…
I’m talking about simple actions and consequences, let me lay this out more simply:
No vote: no change for either candidates chances of success == no preference
A vote for either: a change for both candidates chances of success (slightly improved and slightly decreased) == a preference
I don’t know about all that, I just enjoy logic. I’m replying to you saying “I’d choose not to vote”, that is not the same as saying “none of the above”, it’s the same as saying “any of the above”
You’re not saying “none of these”, as it will ultimately still be one of them, more accurately you’re saying: “I’ll take either equally”
As a person who grew up in Ireland since I was 5: this is funny to me
Thanks, I was quite out of the loop!
I moved to quay.io years ago and have never looked back.
These both sound like valid lifestyles assuming everyone involved is informed and consenting, neither are worse, because neither are bad.
I can’t go to sleep if I don’t set an alarm, due to worrying about oversleeping lol
I got an oral b toothbrush (primary selling point for me, was the pressure sensor that alerts you if you’re pressing too hard against your teeth, I think I paid around €150 for it back then), well over 8 years ago, and it’s still going strong. The battery still easily holds a week’s charge too, which is great for holidays
But the idea of an indicator is to indicate that you will soon turn the steering wheel, not that you’ve already started to turn it.
Yeah, after being cramped up it’s nice to stretch out a bit and SHOW_ME_YOUR_ASSHOLE phrases this nicely.
It’s hilarious to me, that “safety first” is written second
We can easily stop having children then
Did Semele just… Show up one day?
I conflated conflagration with conflation 🤦♂️
Aaah thank you, I reread the original post trying to find a point related to a ladder and eventually decided I just didn’t understand what the “ladder point” was referring to, but now I understand them!
Languages are fun :)
Cone, surely? :)
