That was a typo. I’ve edited the comment to show my original quote.

That’s… literally what I said…

“It’s sort of like saying 9/11 was an effective use of terrorism.” Sorry, I don’t know how this could have been clearer. Take care!

There’s no reason to be rude. I strongly suggest you reread what I said and consider the context of the thread. I never said that 9/11 was a successful use of terrorism, I said that the statement Data made about the troubles being successful was offensive and would be similar to saying the same thing about other terrorist attacks. You then aggressively began demanding evidence for something that was never a statement of fact, making it unclear what you were talking about. When further questioned, you became genuinely insulting for absolutely no reason. I won’t be responding again, but please take some time to consider how you approach discussions in the future.

It was and still is unclear what you were asking me to prove. A comparison isn’t a statement of fact, it’s to illustrate how two things are similar. I further explained why I feel that it was fair to compaire them. If you want to keep picking things apart for the sake of it though, have at it.

Interesting; I didn’t know that! It’s definitely an interesting subject to say the least.

Do you want evidence that people died in the tororist attacks, or that the statement is offensive? As to the first, you’re free to read up on the history of the troubles yourself if you like. As to the second, it’s a matter of opinion, not fact, but considering that history, one that I feel is fair enough. As far as I’m concerned, comparing a single terrorist attack to a series of terrorist attacks is more than reasonable.

In fairness, it’s less controversial and more that the line is outright offensive. At the time, people were being murdered by acts of terrorismin in the troubles, so to wontonly say that those attacks are effective and will get results was extremely insensitive. It’s sort of like saying 9/11 was an effective use of terrorism shortly after it happened, or the 2015 Paris attacks.

That being said, it’s still an interesting point that Data raises in the episode.

I love how whenever trans issues come up, it’s always this “What is a woman?” “Biological woman” “single sex spaces” bs. Meanwhile, the average trans person is stuck waiting literally three fucking years to access an initial appointment at a gender clinic, with sweet fuck all being done about it.

I heard this once back in 2011 while driving alone through the country at night. Just a weird, pulsing hum. Then it vanished just as quickly as it started. It’s funny that people have been studying it for so long and still have no idea what causes it.

There’s something really funny about Cruella accusing Sunak of betraying the public on policies that the public never asked for.

Eggs, bacon, hash browns, and toast with jam. I’ve been out of eggs for a while, so decided to celebrate finally making it to the shops with a small feast!

Garak is calm because he knows that they’re in the justice zone, where it’s impossible to commit a crime.

Dear Rimmer, we’re going on a fishing holiday to that ocean planet we passed two days ago. We tried to wake you, but couldn’t. See you in three days, L, K and C.

Yes I know. But it was listed as a one bedroom house, which it decidedly is not.

There was confidence in Sunak’s promises?

If this is their holiday property, I feel bad for them.

I’m honestly not sure what the typical asking price is for a changing booth, but it’s definitely not a one bedroom house.

It’s a changeing shed listed as a one bedroom house for £25,000. I’m not sure what’s reasonable about that.

I’m really hoping that the gap tree felling leads to more of an outcry and legislation against this sort of thing. In ancient Briton, trees were sacred. It’s high time we brought some of that mindset back.
