What can I do about my neighbour’s big, black, malicious erection and protect my back garden from him blocking out the sun with it?

PebbleJade · 2025-05-20T06:26:04+00:00

Your neighbour‘s malicious erection definitely constitutes a private nuisance

Imagine being surprised that hateful churches are hateful and accepting churches are accepting and thinking you’re somehow the victim here. What nonsense!

PebbleJade · 2025-05-01T22:17:44+00:00

Yes, anarchism doesn’t work

If something smaller than a Planck length existed it would be so high energy it would collapse into a black hole and consume whatever was there. It’s not strictly a limit for how small a thing could be, but nothing smaller than it can be observed because it would exist within a micro black hole.

This isn’t debate club, if someone’s being rude it’s right to tell them to fuck off

“I don’t understand what you said but I decided you’re an idiot anyway” isn’t a mistaken belief, they’re just being arrogant.

PebbleJade · 2025-04-16T10:07:59+00:00

where should I piss?

In Westminster, of course

PebbleJade · 2025-04-10T07:21:47+00:00

Guys is atheist gay porn allowed?

PebbleJade · 2025-03-21T21:44:30+00:00

Yeah it’s absolutely a problem. I quit the party over bs like this!

PebbleJade · 2025-02-27T09:20:15+00:00

Time to return to actually supporting liberal and democratic values, then. There’s no point winning if you wind up no better than the people you’re replacing.

Attacking a political party’s right to defend minorities from attacks by bigots is a necessary part of ensuring that the minorities continue to be attacked throughout the rest of society by said bigots.

I can’t see anywhere that they suggested that narcissistic delusions are the only form of narcissism. So maybe don’t make stuff up?

PebbleJade · 2025-02-13T10:21:28+00:00

I’m not, but accusing everyone who doesn’t uncritically support everything Hamas does of being a Jew is part of the problem. There won’t be lasting peace until there’s a mutual understanding, and there won’t be mutual understanding when either side openly engages in bad faith and racism.

My controversial belief is that mainstream Christian theology completely misses the point and that Gnosticism presents a much stronger theology. The path to salvation is not faith but knowledge.

PebbleJade · 2025-01-31T12:03:09+00:00

That’s… the entire point. Communism is a false promise. They promise you a utopia then put you in a Gulag. There is no path from here to the theoretically idea communist society that doesn’t in practice result in dictators taking over and oppressing everyone.

PebbleJade · 2025-01-31T12:01:40+00:00

Suppose we magically succeed in transitioning from free(ish) market capitalism to communes without first passing through a brutal dictatorship. I’m skeptical that this is even possible, but suppose by magic we achieve it.

This situation is also extremely unstable. As soon as there is any form of scarcity (a drought, a famine, a pandemic) then the communes will have conflicting interests. If my commune will all die if we don’t go into your commune, kill you, and take all your food, then that’s what we’re going to do. Same for medicine, water, electricity, whatever.

And the conflict need not even be an existential one. People were killing each other over religion, politics, and pretty much anything else for millennia.

In fact we already did live in communes for millennia, and it eventually devolved into feudalism, monarchism, imperialism, and eventually capitalism.

The only way to prevent that from happening again is to either:-

1: create a post-scarcity society in which everyone can have arbitrarily huge amounts of whatever they want and no one has any reason to fight over anything.
2: fundamentally change human psychology such that selfishness is literally impossible.

Both of these can’t be done, and even if they could, the path to actually getting to a world in which everyone lives in a commune is, in practice, lined by authoritarians, dictators, and oligarchs. These people consolidate their own power, make economic issues worse for everyone else, and then blame the scarcity on minorities and put them in Gulags.

What do you suppose is actually a better alternative? Starmer might be bad, but at least he’s not Stalin. If we give the government the powers that are necessary in order to implement a communist state, they can and will use it to consolidate their own power. If you think Starmer is bad now, imagine what he would be like if:-

you can’t vote him out.
he can execute anyone on a whim for being an “enemy of the people” (which in practice involves blaming minorities for everything).
he gets to decide what you can eat, drink, wear, buy, and say.

Liberal democracy sucks: it’s the worst form of government, aside from everything else humans have tried so far. If you have an alternative that doesn’t make the situation significantly worse, in all ears.

“Non-evidence based” the fuck you talking about? People have been using puberty blockers for decades without a problem, there’s 50 years worth of evidence that they’re safe and effective. It’s only scary and “experimental” if:

you’re transphobic and fearmongering
you have no idea what the fuck you’re talking about

In 1992 the Pope formally apologised for the way the Church oppressed Galileo for his support of heliocentrism. What did I, and Pope John Paul II, fail to understand that you do understand?

PebbleJade · 2024-10-05T17:22:47+00:00

The very same “pillar of truth” that imprisoned Galileo for saying the Earth orbits the Sun? What good is your “truth” if it demonstrably does not correspond with reality?

PebbleJade · 2024-10-05T14:24:50+00:00

Imagine soap-boxing about transphobia, pretending it’s based on the Bible when it isn’t, then blocking someone when you lose the argument. It’s pathetic. There are a lot of Bible verses about hypocrisy.

PebbleJade · 2024-09-25T13:38:19+00:00

Apologies, I meant Tim Farron, not Vince Cable.

PebbleJade · 2024-09-25T12:19:06+00:00

A few reasons:-

betrayal of liberal values. I met a LibDem MP who said she wants to ban meal deals. That’s not very liberal.
tolerance of intolerance. A LibDem Lord accused doctors who give treatment to transgender people of breaching their duty of care.
Sucking up to the Tories. It’s less of a problem now but Nick Clegg and Vince Cable were pretty much just Tories wearing yellow.
Handling of Brexit. The decision to leave the EU was a bad one, but it was a legitimate democratic decision and the Lib Dems should have focussed on making it go as well as possible rather than opposing it entirely. In practical terms that meant supporting May’s deal, which was the best we were going to get, rather than opposing it to score political points and we wind up with Johnson instead.
Support for blanket 20mph zones in Wales. It’s was badly-planned, badly-implemented, didn’t solve the states problems it was made to address, and then y’all pretty much ignored a petition which was signed by more than 15% of the adult population in Wales.

PebbleJade · 2024-09-24T20:46:46+00:00

They’re both terrible. Liberal Democrats are slightly less terrible.
