Thanks for sharing DB. It’s all to common for the people with the loudest moral outrage are no different or less human than the rest of us.
guess he figured he’d never get caught. immortality syndrome? or something like that
When you have some sort of power, no matter how trivial, it can and commonly does go straight to peoples heads. Someone once said that power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely.

Well no wonder they gave him a lordship with eloquence like his.
yep learned that when i was 14 or 15 when we read animal farm and 1984 in school
I remember reading both books at school. We didn’t have to read the full copy of Animal Farm, just a couple of short sections or something far less memorable than the book, but having heard about the book and enjoying the parts I’d just read, I borrowed a copy and read it at home.
yeah we were supposed to read farenheit 451 that year but didn’t
I still find it bizarre that you have one of the last remaining countries to all but totally ignore the metric system.
stupid as fuck, although i know metric well enough from science in school but most people do not.
personally i wish they’d announce the temperatures in both on the weather channel.
like 2 meters is 6’7, 37 celcius is 100 F.
but seriously we should just go to kelvin. and today it is 301 degrees kelvin
Kelvin is just Celsius with a very fixed lower bound, but even just having the knowledge to make such scales is what makes me love science.
