It’s not the first time I’ve heard that idea. I recall a comment once in which it was claimed that JKR said that if she were a teenager in the present time, she would probably have transitioned. Unfortunately I could not find any source for that claim, but given just how insane she’s been on the matter, I wouldn’t be surprised if there was something going on there. Same for Linehan, honestly.

Personally I would forgive her, IF that turned out to be true, AND she made a public apology for everything awful she ever said, AND threw her financial weight behind actually fighting for trans rights, AND opened a school or something specifically for disadvantaged trans kids, and kept doing such things to the point that it actually made a positive impact, then I would say she had redeemed herself.

But I’m not holding my breath for even one picosecond, thinking that it would actually happen.

People need to re-sit a practical driving test every 3 years.

I did, when I was a kid. Then they got rid of the bendy-buses :(

Even if it was the best series ever written I still wouldn’t support She Who Must Not Be Paid.

Why support an organisation that won’t support us? That’s just pointless. They’ve made their position clear: They don’t care about us enough to stand by us.

What they should have done is take up the fight and start a fundraiser if needed. Instead they decided to be useless cowards and run away.

The idea is to put pressure on them in hopes they’ll do the right thing, and if not (as is most likely), then put your support towards someone who will, instead.

Excellent

Let them know (politely) how cowardly they are, why you won’t support them, and why you’ll tell everyone you know not to support them: https://www.amnesty.org/en/about-us/contact/

I think he should be sentenced to the same war crimes he committed.

Hehe :)

I suppose Windows 7 did have a bit more overall stability, but at the same time, it was also when the spyware and other dubious features really started creeping in, so was it worth it?

Plus, I never ran into a boot problem that startup repair could actually fix. I still don’t know what the point of that tool is. Every time I had to do things manually anyway.

It’d be hilarious if he turned out to be Felon Mu$k, the manchild mentality is very similar.

Both, it’s always both.

Why would you even want to defend him? Sneaking in a blocklist like that is not the behaviour of a normal person. There is nothing defensible here.

Yeah, sorry Microslop, you lost me years ago with Windows 8 and the absolute shit-show that was a tablet/touch GUI shoved onto the desktop for no good reason. XP was where Windows peaked. Windows 7 was the last one I actually used. Windows 10 and 11 are literally malware.

Tainted water for the taint brothers. How fitting.

And I thought it was a loaf of bread wearing the karate helmet from Spongebob lmao

Or just Muslim extremists doing what they do best. Or maybe extremists encouraged by right wingers, with the goal to push anti-immigration views right before an election. Either way, everyone involved is a victim of the cancer that is religion.

News articles are saying there are Islamist connections too. That wouldn’t surprise me given how absolutely batshit religious people can be.
