    It's called "hCaptcha" but I bet it doesn't even involve hentai at all, does it? "Place the tentacle in the correct place," that might at least have made it fun.

    Generally, I don't particularly want people to die either (except specific people I think have done more harm than good to society) but to me the sanest answer to migration, now or in the future, is one that is sensible about resource distribution. We don't really want huge amounts of the...

    Wew, all the controversial topics today, eh? Certainly true, but the left both here and in the US seems incapable of even vocalising simple, practical truths like "Illegal immigration is actually pretty bad because if people are scared of being deported, they won't ever go to the authorities...

    Left wing unions used to be some of the loudest voices against illegal immigration in the US, not because of xenophobia but because they (quite rightly, I think) saw it as a process by which employers could hire workers without giving them the rights afforded to citizens. That obviously creates...

    That would of course be horrible but I think the likelihood of that happening, particularly here, and even in the US is very small. Nearly all of those states that have “banned” abortion (an action I personally don’t agree with, it’s anti-freedom and is a liberty issue rather than an identity...

    Does the man himself lurk here? Because today these posts of @BrokenPhoenix and myself might as well have been O’Brien’s script. He even began with “it’s pretty obvious, isn’t it?” almost exactly like I did (after seemingly not finding it so obvious the day before). Spooky. By Jove, I think...

    As far as I am aware, the postman is within their rights to do that, but they are supposed to put a card through the intended recipient’s letterbox to say where the parcel is (returned to depot, left with No.38, placed in shed, thrown in hedge etc.). If they have not done that, or even if they...

    And that right there is what I don’t understand about today’s left. If Trump can do that, so can they. If the press are calling you an anti-semite just turn around and loudly denounce them as losers and liars in the pockets of the rich, it’s not even inaccurate. But they’re too hung up on...

    It’s astonishing to me that most other politicians haven’t cottoned on to this yet and adjusted their attitudes accordingly. I think most Americans (and Brits) would at this point be fairly happy to see their leaders get Ceaușescu‘d for the endless grift we’re fully aware nearly all of them are...

    Does the SRP make much difference when the current edition is available for £19.99 and the new one is anywhere between £32.99-£38.99 to pre-order? That just seems bizarre. Who's pre-ordering that rather than just buying the one that's available right now for more than a tenner less? I mean if...

    Worth pointing out that’s also the case with Amazon if you’re not a Prime member. And that’s AMAZON, they’re making billions more a year than any UK anime distributor. Also Prime shipping isn’t really free since you’re still paying Amazon £9 a month, which is nearly 3x£3.50… Personally I don’t...

    Except the English, obviously. :p No like for me @RadFemHedonist? Was it the comment about the Mormons? If it makes any difference I don’t have anything against them I don’t also have against every other organised religion.

    Well, the Mormons have my DNA now. Don’t go cloning me or anything, believe me, you don’t want that. Fascinating stuff, where do I apply for Scottish citizenship? Ancestry DNA got my father’s maternal (East Yorkshire) and mother’s paternal line (West Cornwall) down with pinpoint accuracy when I...

    I wonder, does the US have any kind of CeX equivalent or don't you really do second-hand media retail any more? I haven't been state-side in many years, but I did manage to visit all three Amoeba Music stores in California (back when the LA one was like a warehouse, it's relocated since then...

    Jenrick might have lost the Tory leadership election but his wife has a bright future in “People born between 1944-1968 could be eligible for this” clickbait adverts, that’s what I thought this image was as I was scrolling down the article.

    Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Sotsu: Episodes 7-11 I'm glad this chapter ended as well as it did, because it was starting to give me Endless Eight fatigue at times and I was beginning to become concerned over the rapidly diminishing number of episodes left. It's one thing when you're seeing the...

    Zero here, I think that's the first time I haven't even heard the doorbell chime once. Though I do probably live in the sort of area you don't want your kids going out after dark.
