Once got laid off for holding my hands up to my part in things that weren't really my fault. Capitalist individualism actively penalises personal accountability (which is ironic, considering that's their whole thing)

Yeah you don't want to give an employer any excuse whatsoever to fire you, because they will absolutely use it when convenient, so this means nothing can be your fault ever

Doesn't anyone ever go "maybe I'm wrong and an idiot" why have we made it so hard as a society to go "I may not know this thing/ be able to have an opinion on that"/

The cohort of human beings currently in charge of civilisation are the ones that grew up with the John Wayne movies and really internalised that line "never apologise, it's a sign of weakness".

I dislike my job but it's important for the people that I at least put in the effort to appear happy and approachable to answer their questions.

I will never understand how people can just do nothing. Even when I am doing nothing I am at least on SA.

Do you particularly dislike your job or do you just dislike how little it pays?

What a weird tweet. Is he implying that that's what he's heard people behind the scenes say they want to do? Replies seem to be saying that it would be illegal to unilaterally withdraw so it's (hopefully) a moot point, but it seems odd for a relatively senior Tory to posit such a specific scenario like this.

The Greens are being willfully dense as they should know that the mechanism for a second referendum is six months from it passing parliament to actually taking place, and there's only one of them. But the Lib Dems? They've signed their own death warrant as far as being a political force

The gently caress?

Moon faced means 'round faced' as in you have a weird fat head. It's not racist in the least. Is that why I got banned? I never checked because I was poo poo posting in a thread I barely post in and assumed a mod had an itchy trigger finger and I knew the risks.

So yeah, two things

1) I didn't use the term 'moon faced' as a racist term. I have never heard it used as a racist term. I have seen it used as an archaic term for someone with a very round head.

2) Can my accusers post some proof that it is a slur please. Onus is on you Rarity and Julio. Don't be shy now.

edit: I typed moon faced into google and the first result is the dictionary dot com definition of "adjective having a round face.
"he was a moon-faced, roly-poly little man".

Rarity, Julio, you two are full of so much poo poo. Stop making assumptions you pairr of self righteous dipshits.

Stopped ignoring what? This is the first time i've seen the response.

And if you have some evidence of my racism please share it. Like somewhere indicating that the term is a slur against asians?

Bonus trivia: The term is used by generals in Total War medieval 2 when talking about the enemy generals. The game was mysteriously not removed from shelves for racism.

Also just in case it's causing confusion: I didn't buy this avatar. I don't know what it means other than as a response to my ban. I assume the buyer also thinks I was being racist.

Ok? Will you stop pissing around and post some loving proof that the term is a slur?

Tintower posted a picture of coconuts. It was extremely implicit what they meant. I'm saying I wasn't using the term as a racist slur and more importantly I cannot find evidence that it is a slur.

Tintower hosed up. But this seems like you all hosed up and don't know what to do now that your dumb assumption is baseless.

Like, is this gaslighting? I'm freaking the gently caress out because no one has actually said why what I said was racist, just that it was and now apparently that's the reality we are in? Can't wait for these posts where I beg for an explanation to be ignored and for the accusations to carry on.

Someone posts evidence that it's a slur and i'll apologise. I didn't mean it as a slur but i'll still take the hit but if this turns out to just be someones lovely assumption then wow.

No, I don't know whether it is or not. I was just saying that not even addressing the accusation was pretty iffy.

Instead it just seems like you were banned for threatening to punch someone in the genitals.

Well yeah, that's what I thought to. And it's what I meant. So I didn't think anything was amiss.

I don't like the poster "Big meaty shits" and I shitposted in a thread I never post in to tell him I want to punch him in the balls and that he has a fat head. I don't know if he has a fat head. It sounded funny at the time.
