I wrote my compiler in Haskell because it seemed that it’d be much less hassle compared to do it in a object oriented or procedual language.

That is not a feeling I’d associate with Haskell!!

No. I’m 40yrs old and I don’t keep up with the modern-day lingo. 😂

Also I’m British so I speak British English. “Fags” are cigarettes and “faggots” are a type of food.

For Brits: Swap “Mexican” for “Indian” or “Polish”

Also buy your spices from Indian supermarkets/shops/sections of Asda rather than getting Schwartz jars.

E.g. My local Asda sells a jar of Schwartz cinamon for £2.50. The next aisle sells cinammon in a bag of 3x the amount for £1! Same for rice, noodles and many other ‘foreign’ foods. Polish meat section can often be cheaper than the normal sections.

It’s a rainbow pentagram which means only the gayest of demons will be brought forth. Only bottoms need worry about their horned dicks.

Probably the opposite.

Our “higher reasoning” and “state of awareness” (needs defining) gives us the ability to do thigns other animals can’t. For example chronic pain sufferers are taught how to manage their pain with a variety of CBT techniques. Not something you can teach a dog or cat.

People in intense periods of intense suffering may have thw ability to dissociate from the experience (“go to their happy place”) to lessen the pain experience.

We’re not aware animal shave this ability.

If anything mammals of all kinds that feel pain don’t have our higher cognitive ability to help manage and supress it.

Having said that it’s possible we feel more emotionally complex pain. Pain induced from our own minds by remembering trauma or imagining painful situations. As someone pointed out below a dying animal probably isn’t thinking about the loss of it’s family as it’s dying. But it will be feeling the pain of dying acutely.

I can say things like:

“I like Brains faggots more than any other brand” and “Retard the accelerator” without my comment being deleted and/or Reddit-banned for hate-speech.

I once got suspended from Reddit for saying: “The Scots weren’t innocent during the British Empire. They were used for a lot of rape & murder”.

It was considered racist. Until I appealed with 2 academic history papers that showed the Scottish Highlanders were considered a “martial race” and were used extensively in colonial campaigns during the British Empire. I really don’t want to have to fucking educate dumb-as-brick Yank admins who don’t know history or language beyond their shores.

I was finally site-suspended and can’t create new users because a mod accused me of evading a sub ban. I didn’t. Another mod just unbanned me cos the reason I got banned originally was idiotic. The mod didn’t care. Re-banned me so my 15yo account got permanently suspended by the admins.

I’m done with that fucking site.

  1. The top 3 most upvoted comments aren’t unfunny puns.
  2. This feels mor elike a ‘community’ because there’s fewer people. I don’t feel like I’m screaming at a tornado.
  3. More niche content. It’s more fractured and I liked that about the early internet and early-reddit.
  4. My Reddit account got banned for a fucking ridiculous reason and every new account I make they re-ban. Fuck Reddit and it’s over-sanitised, Disney-bullshit.
  5. I can speak British English without my comment getting deleted. E.g. “Can I bum a fag mate”?
