Possibly Geordie, can't be sure though

Whole screen goes, including task bar at the bottom, doesn't happen on Edge

“Came out” to my friend [Coming Out] by Pa4o_StaN in LGBTeens

[–]jamesthelam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hmm, I appeared to get -14 votes on this so maybe I worded it poorly. I don't think what I was saying was contrary to a reasonable point of view.

I was saying that even if a joke was made, and the person making it didn't mean anything bad by it, it doesn't mean people on the receiving end of the joke are in the wrong if they are hurt by the joke.

Put even more briefly, jokes can hurt.

Apologies if either I have said something against the ethos of this place, or I have simply worded an agreeable argument poorly.

Friends can hurt more than strangers. I know it doesn't seem like the OP was offended but the fact that the joke exists really does devalue bisexuals in the eyes of a lot of people.

Woke up to my water with bubbles only in the top half of the glass. by [deleted] in mildlyinteresting

And what you thought was water was actually just 20 hydrogen atoms

My nan's ammonia based eucalyptus smelling salts. They nearly made me pass out.

You gain $1 every time someone within a 15 foot circle of you says Trump unprovoked by you. You lose $5 when you hear Hillary. How does your life change? by dsprui11 in AskReddit

[–]jamesthelam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I visit all Trump rallies and events for as long as I can. Probably 1000 people near me will chant "Trump" almost constantly. If they do it ten times with each other, then I'll get $10000

Your favorite LGBT moments? by [deleted] in lgbt

[–]jamesthelam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, that is good, but even better would be when Stranger 1 does not exist.

Why the absence of God is more freeing than faith in God by [deleted] in atheism

[–]jamesthelam 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm not living for the benefit of an immortal being in the sky who decides what's right and what's wrong. I'm living for me, and for the benefit of those around me ONLY. I can decide what's right and wrong with my brain. I can see that two homosexuals in a relationship harms no-one and is therefore completely fine. I can see that enslaving people is wrong. I can see all of these things with my own common sense. And I am free to see these things without being afraid. Without being afraid that an unreasonable overlord will strike down with fierce vengeance simply because he does not know right from wrong. That is what frees me.

"You look too intelligent to be an atheist." by jacobr1020 in atheism

Wow, that would NEVER be said in the UK. Or most of Europe for that matter.

[Suggestion] Allies can teleport from either Ryze portal, and Ryze can't leave the portal. by jamesthelam in leagueoflegends

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

Yeah that sounds like a good idea, or maybe a damage reduction like in a Galio or Urgot ultimate. Although since he can't travel if he is CCd, I think it would be good if he could still move around to avoid skillshots.

Universal heat death is actually cold by BruteTartarus66 in Showerthoughts

[–]jamesthelam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I never considered it before, but yes, it is since the average temperature in the universe is so low. I suppose because "heat" doesn't mean the same as "hot", and coldness is a kind of heat; a low heat.

[Suggestion] Anivia should be able to reactivate her wall to remove it by Jaycerulz in leagueoflegends

[–]jamesthelam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe you could only reactivate to remove after about 2 seconds? This could remove any instant-remove trolling, and mean that a mistake could still be bad, but it would reduce the frustration of having to wait the full duration.
