And you lack the self-awareness to understand why so many think “vegan bad”. You’re a naive and petulant child.

And that’s why I don’t like cricket.

But doesn’t shareware refer to software that is distributed freely, playable (maybe with limitations on how far you can play into the game, or how long you can play it for free) but it’s generally a proprietary game that is distributed through this model? I may not have a perfect grasp on the precise meaning of shareware.

I see chess more like abandonware - if someone developed a proto-chess game and didn’t assert their ownership over the IP (recognising that this happened before copyright and IP were understood concepts), doesn’t that make it effectively free to play, noting you of course need a board to play?

Maybe an ancient and highly modded board game doesn’t translate that well to a software/copyright analogy. Also you lost me on your comparison between Mario Party (I think you mean only one person needs to own the game) and the first levels of Doom (which are more like a demo). I don’t see either of these as shareware, though I guess a freely playable demo is a form of shareware with my understanding of the term above!

What do you mean?

So that healthcare and education, among other things, are more equitable. Taxes are for subsidising a public good.

As the President is Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces though, isn’t this a strategic prerogative of the position though?

It stopped being Great after Brexit

Celtic would be better. Gaelic literally means coming from the Gaels, aka the Irish. Welsh and Cornish are Brythonic language speakers, not Goidelic/Gaelic, but they are all Celtic languages. The Angles, Saxons, Frisians and Jutes invaded Celtic Britain starting in the 400s.

I prefer Perfidious Albion

Read the other comments please.

Thanks for this :)

I agree with your last point - and I may be a bit bourgeois (not to mention ignorant) myself. I’d appreciate recommendations if you wouldn’t mind.

Like relativistic equivocation?

Yeah, because I’m a tightarse and only buy the home brand stuff :)

Thanks for the evidence, will have a look.

Defund the coppers!

Lead pipes aren’t so bad. It’s lead as an ion rather than an element that’s the problem. The lead that led to the dumbenising and collapse of Rome was actually lead acetate, which is sweeter than sugar. They added it to wine, believe it or not. Then you get the Pb2+ ions in your bloodstream and you start to watch Fox News.

Other things grow, but corn and soybeans are heavily subsidised (not to mention genetically modified).

Reverse irredentism! Now what about historically German lands? From the Maas to the Memel…

Great comment. Refreshing to see some intelligence here from time to time, like the nice sour bready tang of kvass!
