5·1 day agoI don’t make things up, I just look them up.
Whoever designed that image should have to return the Fe they were paid.
I’m just reading the article, as you were also able to do, and it says, “On 8 June, officers were made aware via CCTV of a man, Bray, walking down Queens Road, Nuneaton, with the sword in his hand. Bray approached officers with the blade visible, at which point he was arrested.” Bold added for emphasis. If I were out in public in the UK, and if I happened to have a bladed implement, I’d keep it out of sight. Especially if there were police anywhere nearby. But hey, you can do as you please. Have a nice day!
This “victim surcharge” would be termed court cost or court fee in the US.
Not for simply having, but for brandishing said bladed device as the police approached. That’s the law, in that city. As the officer said, “It is possible to find fidget toys that aren’t six-inch blades. It is possible not to walk down the street holding them out in front of you. With a bit more self-awareness, Bray could have avoided contact with us completely.” Bray brought this on himself, and could have avoided any contact with the police. He chose otherwise.

Grumpy conservative dislikes Social Justice Workers/Warriors but chipper botanist makes a pun, saying Hypericum (perforatum) a.k.a. St. John’s Wort is a good genus. Note: the leaves have tiny holes/ perforations, hence the species.

6·8 days agoSomething not considered in this paper, Post Viral Syndromes, may also be a factor. Though some acknowledgement of post viral syndromes dates to at least the 1950’s, it’s only with the COVID19 pandemic that modern medicine has really begun to take a look at this with some seriousness. These PVS’s can affect many organs in the body, specifically the nervous system, and including cognition.

Thornless was also a ‘selling point’. Mine were a gift from another gardener. And being raspberries they try to spread beyond their allotted space. So I dig them and put them up on freecycle. It’s super popular, and they can spread their DNA in someone else’s garden. :-D
ooh, that’s a lovely rose.
Nice Pic!! We’re already eating some yellow thornless raspberries. Yay, Summer!!
2·9 days agoSee, you almost escaped trollism. You’ve presented evidence in favor of a stated position. And you trolled everyone in this post on the way to something you could have stated in the original comment. With a little practic SMCF, I believe in you, you could do it. Time will tell how you choose.
It’s not your beliefs, bur rather your trolly behavior, which by the statement above, I believe indicates your are in fact acting as a troll. Tho’ I hold out the possibility that you could abandon those trolly behaviors, if you chose to do so. I’m not entirely sure you believe the statement I’ve called out as trolly. If you had some belief in that area, you might have also evidence to support that belief. Do you also, as you state you do, have beliefs for which there is no evidence? Maybe you shouldn’t “believe everything you think.”
So you literally have no proof. You just made an assertion, to see how people would respond. SMCF, will you abandon your trolly behavior?
“trump supporters” are not a monobloc. And different people value different information in different ways, for their own reasons. We need to peel off as many trump voters as possible. Discouraging statements like “trump supporters do not care about this” help to get trump elected. If you want fascism, u/nutsack, that’s how we get fascism.
