"makes it easier to socialize ... even though alcohol is bad in many ways"

Isn't this justification you bring your activities into harmony with conscience?


Don't give up on the GCHQ idea. As a large public (in the business sense) organisation they will be hot on "reasonable adjustment" and possibly interested in the diversity of thought/opinions resulting from your horrible attack.


Love the western bias here.

The Dark Ages was a time when the christian west consciously stopped learning. Fortunately the muslim world carried the banner for intellect for a century or two.

Will the new dark age posited be western only? Or wealthy middle-class only? And will some other group develop as we stagnate on a feed of AI generated listicles?


Patently untrue. The myth of the cessation of learning during the Middle Ages has been thoroughly debunked, repeatedly, by modern historians. The learning never stopped, and the entire period of the Middle Ages was full of scientific and philosophical inquiry. The "rediscovery" of Greek learning did not begin with the Enlightenment, but during the Middle Ages. One would better describe it as the runway which set the stage for the explosion of learning due to the creation of the printing press.

I used to find myself moving between random terminals so used curl webdav instead of DropBox.


That's for England. London is more like >GBP500k.

"Tommy Robinson is not allowed to open a bank account"? What? After multiple frauds and also declaring himself bankrupt he might have difficulty finding a bank willing to take him as a customer but I'm unaware of anyway of anyone banning him from opening one.
