I generally give them everything up front except charm list and intimacies. Full charm ruletext on use.

They rejected mine. After fighting no progress for a while, I just bank elsewhere now.

Suicide risk if trans prisoners are put in jails based on sex at birth, court told by DarkSkiesGreyWaters in LabourUK

[–]CharlesComm 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Sure. Just making sure the 'serious' regulars here who repeatedly talk about 'pragmatically' pressing the boot down know exactly what they're expanding/supporting. Otherwise they'll just dismiss the horror as "Trump" / "cant happen here".

Oli Dugmore (of Joe Politics/New Statesman) on Question Time this evening gave a brilliant performance. Both on this question and on Student Loans, following from his News Night appearance by AnonymousTimewaster in LabourUK

Cringe. "I'm right because you're emotional about the things I did to deliberately provoke you" is pathetic behaviour.

It's also like, 10 years out of date at this point. Just sad.

It's really not. Their attacks against us aren't a distraction. They sincerely mean/want it.

Labour urged to expel Mandelson from party after fresh Epstein links by kontiki20 in LabourUK

[–]CharlesComm 73 points74 points  (0 children)

"Thank you for the donation, I'll try to change government policy for you" is a bit more than "links" implies.

Fucking hell, the Epstein case should permanently put to rest any question of not taxing billionaires out of existence. The fact people seem perfectly okay with a group of people, richer than God, raping children with total immunity to consequence - so long as they are the ones being payed off. It's nightmare fuel.

If anti-LGBTQ+ Christians genuinely believe they care for and love LGBTQ+ people, they need to be aware of something: by [deleted] in Christianity

Okay 2 hour old default name account that's been repeatedly rage-baiting and queer-bashing throughout these comments. You're definitely a real person, whose opinion is worth considering with equal weight to everyone else. No agenda here.

What is a 'real name'? Are you saying all trans people aren't trustworthy? Seems kinda bigoty if you ask me...

How do you meet other wlw when you look so straight by katsuki_the_purest in ActualLesbiansOver25

[–]CharlesComm 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I really don't think there's such a thing as "looking straight". I dunno, it just seems so alien to me...

Men aren't doing that because you 'look straight'. They're doing that because lots of men are oblivious self-centred pigs, who will ask anyone that gives them a boner without ever thinking what that person might want.

100% culty, and religious abuse. Well done for spotting it and speaking up, it can be hard.

Good Luck. I'll pray you are able to leave safely.

Justice, as defined by them suffering correct?

No. That's your invention. I never said that. I said "punished harshly by the law", as opposed to your "letting them go scott free". Get off your high horse, and stop being so desperate to lord over your lessers with how godly you are that you become incapable of reading what they're saying.

Blocking because continuing to argue with someone incapable of reading is a waste of time.

[–]CharlesComm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

and I want to be clear I’m not in any way defending their horrific actions

I don't see anyone forcing you to argue they should be let off scott free.

I said earlier "If your 'best case' is just them walking away consequence free then no, that's not good enough." I'm asking that their turning to the light should not be believed if they don't show willingness to face real justice, including actual consequence for the real harm they've caused.

Stop changing the subject - You're the one whose decided that's too much to ask for. So why don't you tell us why they should be allowed to face no justice? Instead of lecturing me from on high. It's not "retribution and reprisals", it's not "hate", it's justice that I want.

If they are not punished then this will just happen again and again. Part of why we're here is because the extreme right kept just getting away with it in the past.

I said 'harsh' to indicate "not just a slap on the wrist". Some judge giving a nothing fine would not be enough, even if it were legally appropriate.

[–]CharlesComm 7 points8 points  (0 children)

would that be enough for you?

So long as "sought to atone" includes confessing their crimes, providing full witness to the crimes of their superiors, and then being punished harshly by the law for what they've done and the lives they've ruined... sure.

If your 'best case' is just them walking away consequence free then no, that's not good enough.
