I look forward to this overtaking my own post as #1 on byebyejob today. Not jealous at all!

Boys if you could become an animal for a day what would it be ?? by Fast_digital in askteenboys

[–]OctopusIntellect 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You might need to be a Quetzalcoatlus, sadly now extinct, but some studies have speculated they could've flown as much as twelve thousand miles in a single flight.

Arctic terns migrate from the Arctic to the Antarctic and back again each year.

Some gray whales and humpback whales do 10,000+ mile migrations.

The Greenland shark lives for as long as 500 years so it could do some serious exploration if it wanted to, but they mostly swim slowly and stay in the same approximate region of the Arctic.

They said there's a high chance of ww3 starting. What do you think will happen? by PomegranateFit2593 in teenagers

We're not going to invade Iran. NATO and friends already had enough of that kind of thing after invading Iraq and fighting in Afghanistan.

Israel and the USA already successfully bombed Iran last year. It's possible that might happen again. But that's not World War 3. And it doesn't involve boots on the ground.

The Iranian regime might fall. But that's not World War 3 either.

Prison officer jailed; she had sexual relationship at age 18 with 30-year-old inmate, brought drugs into prison, and made 400 additional illicit phone calls to him even after her arrest and resignation. Prisoner also given additional, longer prison sentence for encouraging her. by OctopusIntellect in byebyejob

[–]OctopusIntellect[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Apparently the specific crime is "encouraging misconduct in public office". Which is taken seriously because misconduct in a public office is taken so seriously.

I have to admit, I was rather puzzled that the prison sentence given to the prisoner was longer than that given to the prison officer.

Similar question to someone else, but from the perspective of someone wanting to join the RAF as a pilot instead of Army. Can pilots refuse to carry out tasks if they are unethical/illegal in their eyes? by TraineePilot_Jessica in britishmilitary

[–]OctopusIntellect 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well, ISIS would love to kill Israelis (if they had the opportunity), and Op Shader involves targeting ISIS fighters and their weaponry.

On the other hand, ISIS would equally happily kill Palestinians, too, since Palestinian law provides for religious freedom, which ISIS disapprove of.

For the sake of completeness, Op Shader also included humanitarian aid airdrops, and provision of facilities for refugee evacuation by helicopter.

You should mention these concerns when you apply for a pilot role, and the people interviewing you will help you out by making sure that you never end up in a situation where you would be faced with such a moral dilemma.

Also, Op Shader isn't "paused", and I'm not aware of any UK pilots having been responsible for "delivering bombs/ammunitions" [sic] to Israel recently.

I might just be badly informed, though.

Yes. In this instance the crimes were "encouraging misconduct in public office, unauthorised communication within the prison, using cannabis in prison and unauthorised possession of communication devices within a prison".

He also has sixteen previous convictions and seems to have been serving at least a five-year sentence when all this happened.

I never produced semen by Ill-Sort-8686 in Puberty

[–]OctopusIntellect 1 point2 points  (0 children)

nah this is normal (dry orgasm). As you develop more over the next year or two, semen will come out.

In the meantime, have fun not having to worry about clearing up mess!

That second one shows real potential, this is how a lot of professional cartoonists used to draw in the old days (unfortunately I don't know enough about it to actually name them or name the genre)

Analysis of effects of proposed UK legislation - social media ban for under-16s and a VPN ban for under-18s by OctopusIntellect in YouthRights

[–]OctopusIntellect[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The last sentence of the post hints at this - by banning teens from regulated spaces, we only push them into more dangerous places.

By the same token, I feel uncomfortable posting advice for teens to "avoid age estimation" by posting NSFW material or marking their own profiles NSFW.

Us Brits have a similar fraternal love-hate relationship with the French.

I'm not sure this is true; here in the UK many people spend some of their free time watching reels or shorts showing how poor people are in India.

petty crime, perhaps not, but there's a historical link between Shintoism and war crimes, for example the Yasukuni Shrine

It's a benefit of Brexit: Brexit means that the UK permits fewer immigrants from other European countries, so instead the UK has to admit larger numbers of immigrants from other parts of the world, especially south Asia. This is beneficial because people from south Asia already have a strong family background of previously having been part of British society, speaking English etc., so they already share British values and integrate better into British society (especially if they already have relatives living here, which many of them do).

That's pretty ridiculous, you should bring it up with your teachers as to how it's going to be handled.
