You are shallower than I thought you were. Like I said before, I don't think you understand the implications of what you're saying. But if you do, bac...

The victims of thieves are deserving of more compassion than the perpetrators of theft. The victims of violence and rape are deserving of more compass...

Well, good luck with the psychopaths. Seriously though, I never said compassion meant approval and if all you are saying is we should always be compas...

That's pretty much where I am. I think the level of depravity is hard to understand at first and one might be tempted to conflate them with others wit...

It's pretty easy I would have thought to condemn extreme misogyny, rape culture and the like as embodied in this group and then specify you're talking...

I never said I found any particular comment offensive. I said I found it difficult to understand your position and so I'm asking these questions to cl...

You said "we", not particular individuals. In normal parlance that is a generalised "we" that includes women and everyone else. So this: suggests you ...

Is this your way of saying you never understood what the thread was about or you never understood what incels were? I think it's fair to be curious ab...

It's difficult to know if you and @"T Clark" have realised yet how offensive is the idea that women (especially) should be compassionate towards an or...

:100:

There are no signs to show me out. They all just point to somewhere else in Wrexham. Although a gentleman who claims to be my wife insists I am actual...

It was mostly about pizza and saving little birds. Also, I am stuck in Wrexham, quite often in the toilets of the High St. KFC. No vitriol. We accept ...

:up: There's more to be said but seems like diminishing returns when some here insist on wearing their doctor's masks over their eyes.

Modern liberal democracies, while remaining patriarchal, no longer see fit to so self-describe. So, within the mainstream there's an image and reality...

Maybe counter-culture vs mainstream is not the right binary and we should talk of explicit and implied culture or something. I'm not sure, but certain...

It's hard to fathom how vicious their organized online incarnation is but it seems the nature of such groups in such media is to distill down to the m...

Sure. But what healthier alternative and in what context exactly? And what reasoning are you offering to suggest it would be effective?

Probably the most succinct way I can put it is that sympathising with incels--in their developed online form--is akin to sympathising with white supre...

:up: I think this is step one for understanding and dealing with the situation. Conflating those two groups isn't helpful. Both may experience self-lo...

Just to try to untangle this, you're saying you piss on your pizza and bagels to get that authentic NYC taste?

I guess there's something latent there. Like you and others, I've been through periods without sex and had the common sense to blame myself for it.

Agree.

Wasn't aimed at you anyhow bruv. Skimmed through the thread and saw some odd comments that seemed to underplay what's going on so I thought I'd stick ...

I went on some incel forums as research for a short story a few years ago. lf you're not an extreme sexist and misogynist you just won't last in that ...

Also, tonal languages can cause problems. E. g. the Thai words for "near" and "far" are both pronounced like "guy" only with a different tone and for ...

It's unfortunately not true. E. g. the Czech ? is notoriously difficult to pronounce.

I only learned about this kind of stuff as part of my university education. Most native English speakers wouldn't be aware of these nuances. Anyhow, n...

:yum: :pray:

The very problem that has kept me stuck in Wrexham all these years. Had I known where I was I would have left long ago.

All's I know is another gentleman has entered the facility and informed me I am actually frequenting the public bathroom of Wrexham High St. KFC. Plea...

Ah, thanks! Funny though, Beacon looks just like my bathroom. Where is the cake? :pray:

Sterling point. I have yet to reach the coast but I trust everything will be fine as long as I close my eyes and hold my breath.

If you see me, please tell me to stop so I can eat some cake. I'm likely to be hungry as I'm walking from 5,000km away.

I too have been meaning to travel to Beacon. Though until this moment I hadn't heard of it. I decided to go on foot. If you see me, please tell me to ...

:party:

So ... the upshot of this is Doner kebabs are still all good, just need to burn some shit down?

I once took a rabbit with a broken leg home. Unfortunately the vet deemed it a lost cause and euthanized it. Whether or not trying to keep a wild rabb...

Claims to reason and political compromise while insisting on unsupported opinions and admiration for fascists. Fairly easy decision.

Sad to hear. I really enjoyed "Money".

Cash me outside. How 'bout dat?

Parking lot.

My nomination would be "Alien".

I agree you are firmly in the farce category. But the function of horror as farce seems elusive to me. I'd have to think about it. Good question. Coul...

I meant "Being curious". I usually just skip past Hanzo's depravities.

Interesting. Go on.

Curious, I forced myself to read that and could find no offence considering the absurdity of the presentation.

I zee ... *Strokes beard, puffs on cigar* And the moral of all this is ''never shower with Donald Trump''? And you call my cartoons obscure...

Ah, zo ... https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rat_Man ''The nickname derives from the fact that among the patient's many compulsions was an obsession wit...

Thanks, Frank. Interesting thought. It's nice to know my madness is partially shared anyhow. :cool:

:pray: It would be an honour to be of service. *Bows, falls over, picks himself up, steps on hat, picks up hat, unflattens hat, replaces it, smiles gr...
