this is pretty obvious though

@Stopworkplacebu oh yes. I still have nightmares 10 years later about that place

Have you ever work at a company so toxic that you have PTSD long after you left that place?

If you believe free speech is for you but not your political opponents, you're illiberal. If no contrary evidence could change your beliefs, you're a fundamentalist. If you believe the state should punish those with contrary views, you're a totalitarian. If you believe political opponents should be punished with violence or death, you're a terrorist.

@Alexandr4Denman Not too far off passing as an obese minger from the north

Andy Burnham will let this man into women’s toilets, he sees nothing wrong in it! How do you feel women about this because it would make me mighty uncomfortable

@johnennis I live in cartagena, founded by hannibal’s father over 2000 years ago. We’ve had ups and downs it’s fair to say. We’re on the up again

Walking around Europe, you really feel like you’re living in the ruins of a once great civilization

@ejhchess @christianjbdev Don’t be patronizing. I’m probably better educated than you. I stopped counting at 1500 books

@t_casson @christianjbdev I'll tell you what I'll do. I'll give you some time to think why these examples may in fact differ in some important respects. Do some thinking, maybe do some research. Then get back to me. But if you post in my replies before you've done that, it'll be an instant block.

I genuinely wouldn't care if the Odyssey movie featured an all-midget cast and moved the location to Boston. It's an ancient work of fiction that has been adapted many times. Creators should be able to do anything they like with it.

@ejhchess @christianjbdev I think we call this in debating societies as a “gotcha” moment

@ejhchess @christianjbdev Yes. It literally is

@ejhchess @christianjbdev Nope. It is the exact point that is annoying the greeks

@t_casson @christianjbdev You understand why this is a silly and insincere point, yes?

@ejhchess @christianjbdev No I don’t. Helen of troy is white european, described by homer as having blond hair. Malcolm x is black

@t_casson @christianjbdev You understand why that's a silly and insincere point, yes?

@ejhchess @christianjbdev So you’d be ok with malcolm x being portrayed by jonah hill then

@t_casson @christianjbdev We understand very well that the fictional character of Helen of Troy was not envisaged by Homer (whoever that may or may not have been) as white just as we understand that Spartacus, a real person, probably didn't look like Kirk Douglas.

@ejhchess @christianjbdev The greeks are pissed off about it and they have a right to be

@t_casson @christianjbdev "fucking around with the ethnicity of main characters in a national epic" Nobody is doing this. It's a film. It doesn't change anything in Homer. The Warriors doesn't change anything in Xenophon's Anabasis. It's transparently a load of racist screaming (hence Musk's interest).

@ejhchess @christianjbdev I said that fucking around with the ethnicity of main characters in a national epic is going to insult the country for whom it is. You say, what about this other guy that agrees with them. Like this is some sort of win

@t_casson @christianjbdev Yes I saw Elon Musk was Greek

@adoneikam And you can fuck right off too

The biggest mistake in the history of the United Kingdom was leaving the European Union.

@otokyo__ How suffering is purifying for the soul

Be honest… what lesson is God teaching you right now?

@ejhchess @christianjbdev I’m not dying on this hill. Take it up with the greeks. They’re the one who are pissed off

@t_casson @christianjbdev So what? It's not the language of Achilles.

@ejhchess @christianjbdev Its audience is used to english dialogue

@t_casson @christianjbdev And having them speak English

@Finehairr_ We haven’t evolved since the Pleistocene

If humans evolved from apes, why did evolution stop

Although I don’t really come from anywhere so I can’t really partske, I am in favour of nationalism of almost all stripes. The peace of westphalia followed by a gradual attempt to redraw maps along ethnic lines (colonialism notwithstanding) has been a very good thing for humanity
