    Now I’m all for free expression and fuck oppression, however… I can safely say the NSFW part is the word ‘fisting’ on the mug.

    References to advanced sexual acts are simply far too vulgar for youngsters’ eyes. Imagine: a six year old in the era of questioning everything, recognising that the term’s meaning is unbeknownst to them and deciding to ask their parent. The abject horror of a parent coming face-to-face with the slightly awkward dilemma of blowing off the answer, lying or telling the truth. Because that is literally the worst that can happen if a child sees a word they don’t know the meaning to. These weak-chinned traditional folk seem to think that the very sight of an uncensored word like ‘fisting’ will magically unlock a portal of knowledge, imbuing the child with a graphic understanding of it.

    There’s a reason hundreds of childrens’ entertainment shows and movies have adult jokes in them - no child ever watches Shrek and gets the pop-culture joke about Farquaad having a small dick.

    There’s a serious issue with Not Safe For Work tags being used to mean Not Safe For Children but that’s another argument entirely









  • Bruh if you so much as spit on said cruiser you’ll be wanted by the police for terrorism, despite the definition of terrorism being to threaten harm to civilians…

    Before I submit, I want to clarify that I have read the UK Government’s definition of terrorism, and as it’s a stupid ass definition, I elected to ignore it.

    “…as the use or threat of… …serious damage to property… …designed to influence the government… …for the purpose of advancing [an]… …ideological cause.”

    As we know, damaging property belonging to anyone else, regardless of how many people will be saved, is against the legal law and punishable. HOWEVER, going back to their own law…

    “…as the use or threat of… …serious violence against a person [OR] endangering a person’s life (other than that of the person committing the action) [OR] creating a serious risk to the health or safety of the public or a section of the public… …which involves the use of firearms or explosives is terrorism regardless of whether or not the action is designed to… …intimidate the public… …for the purpose of advancing a political, religious, racial or ideological cause… …Action includes action outside the United Kingdom.”

    By their own law, any organisation intending to assist in the wilful and unprovoked violence against people, with explosives or firearms, is by their definition a terrorist. This defines the UK government and many companies as terrorists, coconspirators of Israel.
    The disclaimer “other than that of the person committing the action” absolves anyone of the definition if they are doing so to stop the attacker. This defines Palestine Action as innocent as they were acting to stop the attacking arms company.

    But the only reason these interpretations are not the case in reality is because the government a) choose which laws to uphold and when, and b) defend their decision by lying that the Palestinian people were the instigators of their own eradication by the various countries of the world.

    Sorry, I know this is just a meme

    I mean, fall, for Americans, is a period within autumn in which the leaves of most trees fall… Not the whole season. Here’s some sauce from the world’s worst English dictionary.

    Edit: Excerpts:

    A number of writers used the phrase “the fall of the leaves,” which then came to be associated with the season. This phrase was shortened in the 1600s to fall.

    And quoted from a poet, in turn their friend:

    “In North America the season in which this [the fall of the leaf] takes place, derives its name from that circumstance, and instead of autumn is universally called the fall.”
