tip, take it or leave it.

don’t try to emulate what someone else is doing, be creative as you want.

even Picasso couldn’t paint like Frida, but both were amazing on their own merits.

you mean the same executives that are currently trying their best to circumvent democracy in their countries of origin?

the same ones that are actively demonstrating their disdain for the economies that helped them grow to the massive sizes they are today?

the very same people who have been warning their employees of the bad Chinese companies that manufacture shitty products but secretly began moving operations overseas decades ago?

those guys?

totally trustworthy!

gonna be honest, I didn’t read anything past this part.

So in your scenario here, 4chan starts off by smuggling alcohol into the UK.

I didn’t read any of it because you clearly didn’t read what I said.

here’s the part you conveniently forgot and it literally changes the entire argument.

some enterprising individuals have taken it upon themselves to buy, smuggle, and then sell those beverages inside the UK.

next time you want to argue your point don’t employ the use of bad faith tactics and try to argue your point without manufacturing flaws.

Imagine for a moment that 4chan is a business that sells alcoholic beverages in the US. Now imagine the UK has instituted prohibition and banned the consumption of alcohol.

now, some enterprising individuals have taken it upon themselves to buy, smuggle, and then sell those beverages inside the UK.

Clearly, the government has intended to ban the consumption of alcohol, not the sale of it.

Now the UK government is trying to shackle hefty fines against an American company for having the “audacity” of selling a product to an individual within the confines of the US.

again, the UK banned the consumption of alcohol, not the sale of. 4Chan isn’t forcing UK citizens to drink the alcohol. They are simply selling the product, within their country of origin, to individuals who want to purchase it.

now, do you still think the UK government has a right to fine 4chan or do you think maybe the UK government should elaborate on their prohibition regulations to ensure their citizens are properly “protected”?

I was put on a pip and had to write an essay on how I failed and how I’ll fix it.

so I wrote an essay on how they failed me as managers and how leaving was going to fix my problems.

I gave them one week.

I got banned from there for calling out their bullshit.

sure I was an asshole, but those people are so far up their own asses I didn’t think they’d notice.

instructions unclear, they’re now at the zoo attempting to deport a hippo, a lion, a zebra, and a giraffe.

here is a picture of these violent criminals after their apprehension.

that’s Sinichi Takegawa and he was attempting to spoil the end of Demon Slayer for the whole of Japan. Luckily everyone jumped him and they were able to wrestle the mic away from him before he gave anything away.

If he was successful the GDP of Japan would have dropped by 800% overnight.

when those fifth and twenty-first heels lock in behind you.

in life you commit to many things. you commit to yourself, to your partner, to happiness, to legacy.

when we die, is that like a push to origin?

when we die, do our commits all go to the big repo in the sky?

is god the maintainer? when you pray is that like a bug report?

so many questions…

you bought them?

Cox is a piece of shit company and would most definitely fuck over their customers asap.

we used to have a phrase in the DSL support world when customers would threaten to go to Cox, “Go suck Cox, you’ll be back.”

stupid fucking housefly.

as the adage goes, “if you sit at a table with six Nazis, there are seven Nazis.”

is that some kind of honorary knight?

so…is the autistic foreskin in the room with us?

hold up. so now we don’t even have to do anything for this this to escalate?

I mean…if I’m gonna get blamed for cheating I might as well cheat, you know?

it’s almost like it’s a meaningless prize only meant to pave over the legacy of the man who invented TNT.

not all pumpkins can be food. most are actually poisonous to humans.

you might have overdosed on Tylenol.

edit: it’s not a bad thing, I myself am a Tylenol addict.
