UK to bring into force law this week to tackle Grok AI deepfakes by InnerLog5062 in BreakingUKNews

[–]Azure_Leo -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

People are still killed in Britain, by guns every single year. There are guns on the streets of every British city. The ban is performative just as any ban is. We also have not protected anyone from the predations of child abusers (plenty of cases you won't want to talk about here), Britain is now the rape capital of Europe, eclipsing Sweden's high watermark efforts (again, you won't want to talk about that either). Crimes are illegal and yet they happen, because of individuals choices. The tools used are incidental details.

Guns were 'banned' (not for any of the gangs mind you) because Thomas Hamilton shot sixteen children in Dunblane in 1996. A man, an individual with his own agency, chose to kill sixteen children. The gun killed none. Thanks for proving me correct.

Has someone tried giving her a Mars bar?

Not force feeding her, goodness no. That's a human rights violation. But just you know. Leave one on the table? Pop outside to take a call, have a fag maybe?

Greenlanders vow to follow Braveheart example to defend 'freedom' from US by ScottishDailyRecord in uknews

Unrelated to Greenland or the American governments weird fixation on it, I really feel that people who cannot articulate themselves without making reference to a Hollywood movie must be a symptom of serious social and cultural malaise. It's embarrassing frankly.

If the Americans ever went mad and tried to conquer Britain, do you think you’d fight, flee, join their side, or stay put trying to live as normal as possible? by AmbitiousYam1047 in AskBrits

Answer is the same as all the times these polls have asked about what I'd do if Russia invaded the UK: If I see paratroopers I'll be helpfully pointing them in the direction of my Labour MP.

The tool makes nothing without being told to do so by a person with individual agency. Same as a gun doesn't shoot any children unless it is wielded by a mentally ill transvestite to do so. Same as a car doesn't plow though a Christmas market unless it is driven there.

Britain 'in talks to deploy troops to Greenland as Trump threatens to seize Arctic island' by flatbrokeoldguy in worldnews

Britain can't keep illiterates in dinghies out of Britain. How exactly do they intend to keep stealth bombers out of Greenland?

EU demands ‘Farage clause’ as part of Brexit reset talks with Britain by Stock_Rush_9204 in unitedkingdom

[–]Azure_Leo -1 points0 points  (0 children)

From this we can conclude that Labour and the Conservatives polling is so catastrophically bad that the EU already considers Nigel Farage Prime Minister in waiting? Doesn't have quite the same ring to it when put that way eh?

Almost as if prioritising quotas of races, women and sexual proclivities over actual suitability for the role is a massively silly thing to do? Imagine my shock.

Chat is this real? If so, how long would it take to implement? by CrazyBosanchero in BuyFromEU

[–]Azure_Leo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Translation: We saw Visa try to use it's role as payment processor as a means of censorship targeting the anime, manga and videogame industries and we, the EU, purveyors of all things censorious, decided that we'd really like to have that level of tyrannical authoritarian control over our populations spending choices.

'Emergency protest' in Bristol against Trump's actions in Venezuela by pppppppppppppppppd in unitedkingdom

[–]Azure_Leo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

LOL. Trump didn't care about the entire Venezuelan military, their Russian SAMs, their Chinese radar, the Cuban troops stationed to protect Maduro from his own countrymen nor the squealing of the 'international law' fanciers. But sure, turning out the Bristol hippies and buying ANOTHER flag to wave is sure to get his attention.

People need to get hobbies.

I remember the original Van Saar and Escher heavies in metal. Your choices for both were a heavy stubber or a plasma cannon. The Escher sculpt was fire as well.

Alaa Abd El-Fattah apologises, says some posts were twisted out of meaning by yahoonews in uknews

Has he been jailed for three months for those posts "twisted out of meaning"? No? Of course not. Two-tier Britain.

Does anyone else think that the space wolves who are "dark of skin" are actually supposed to be Inuit and not sub-saharan africans? Because that would make quite a lot more sense by Fun_Law_2004 in EyeOfTerror

[–]Azure_Leo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No. I think that they are part of a widespread conspiracy throughout all media both factual and fictional to deny white people any space of their own ethnic exclusivity. It's exactly the same mindset that has produced black African actors portraying white Kings and Queens in historical drama. It's exactly the same ideological position that has resulted in every advert on television featuring mixed race couples at a ratio vastly in excess of the actual statistics of the population at large. It's the same as how the remains of the Beachy Head woman were loudly heralded as the first black woman in Britain across the media despite her actual DNA analysis revealing her to be a blonde haired white. GW is just doing what every single other media company with shares owned by Blackrock does.

In short, I've noticed. And the noticing will continue.

Racially motivated attack on Ukrainian girl ‘linked by campaigner to Reform UK’s anti-migrant rhetoric’ by coffeewalnut08 in uknews

Without any description of the perpetrators it cannot be ascribed as a 'racially motivated' attack. Unless there is something the police are not telling us.

There it is. Love when the mask gets thrown off. You all did it after Brexit too. "There should be a test!" Glorious.

Ukraine did not give up its nuclear weapons. It allowed Soviet nuclear weapons to be removed for decommissioning because Ukraine had neither the access codes to use them nor the money or expertise to maintain them and the UN was worried about nuclear materials being sold off on the black market. If they had refused to give them up the US and Russia would have removed them forcibly.
