The problem is the continuing increase in World population.

I have no solution to that. Sorry.

That is of course the core problem to which everyone says la-la-la and looks the other way,

[Yorick]

Got to start somewhere, but if you think a few people being inconvenienced is more important than saving the world then it's not worth bothering with.

OK, you start. I'll join in later.

I started years ago, I haven't flown anywhere since 2003

Ditto. No heating bill for 8 years

[Le_Fromage_Grande]

Well done, I haven't flown anywhere since May.

It's a shame you don't live somewhere that's nice, then you wouldn't have to fly anywhere, I feel sorry for you.

[gremlin]

It isn't.

And even less so if they allow brazen fraud to take place.

I was involved in settling a number of trades in ETS way back when and it was like the Wild West. One might even say typically 'EU-style'.

It’s not the bill that causes the problems.

[Cousin Jack]

Well done, I haven't flown anywhere since May.

I do, I just flew somewhere even nicer.

To be fair, it was a 15 minute flight from Lands End to Scilly, so not too many kittens were harmed.

[JackyJoll]

Yeah enough about that now, you're going full swivel-eyed-looney.

Is it only swivel-eyed looneys who don’t like the idea of a man making a baby suck his tit?

Did you miss this straightforward question, Pottyboy?

[Potter]

Did you miss this straightforward question, Pottyboy?

I did miss it, but when I looked into it, it appears that men breastfeeding babies is not only possible but there are historical recorded cases.

I'd never have known about it if you hadn't got some weird fetish thing going on, but apparently it's medically possible, men do have the anatomy necessary for lactation, but they lack the hormone levels required to stimulate making milk. These hormone levels can be artificially raised in the case of trans people, or naturally raised if there is an imbalance in the body.

If a human is born as a man, but somehow has the chemical balance of a woman, then it may cause lactation, it sometimes happens in teenage boys because of hormone imbalances. If you think about it, anyone who has this imbalance would feel like they're in the wrong body and it may explain why they feel like they want to transition.

How about that then boomer - your ignorance and fear has taught us both something today
Let's keep chipping away and we might be able to ease some of you walking corpses into the twenty-first century

[JackyJoll]

If you’re really in favour of what he’s doing, that’s surprising and not very edifying.

[Potter]

It isn't in or out of my favour, I didn't even know it was a thing until you posted it, post wank guilt is it?

I wouldn't do it and it's certainly unusual, but is it any more detrimental than some kid growing up in a scratty council flat with some rat-faced single mother who spends all her money on fake tan and cigarettes? This is probably one of the more minor slips in the fabric of western society.

There are worse things to worry about.

I haven't flown since the stork delposited me under my mother's gooseberry bush.

Sex abuse of babies does merit some concern.

Too many people now (and organisations, stonewall etc) are normalising using children for their sexual gratification and fetishes. It's f*king alarming.

[Potter]

I don’t think it’s sexual abuse.

However, if you feel that it is abuse then you are surely duty bound to report it. You’re standing around doing nothing whilst you genuinely believe that sexual abuse of children is going on. In my book that makes you as bad as the abuser.

This is like a script.

https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-birmingham-66065251 - Iain Hughes: Missing swimmer 'was close to pilot vessel'.

I don't know what to make of this? If he was swimming off the back of his pilot vessel then surely they had someone watching him?
And how could he disappear so quickly that they didn't notice?

Either someone glanced away momentarily and a big shark took him silently, or he suddenly sank - or they weren't watching him properly?

[Noggin]

That’s proper odd

[Screwdriver]

That’s proper odd

The simplest explanation is the most likely. They weren't paying proper attention, there was a distraction or no one was watching, next time they looked he wasn't there. Without a body, there's no way of telling but exhaustion, cramp, ghost net or some other jetsam, sucked into the prop, sharks or abduction by aliens...

Either way it's a damned shame. I blame the support crew. They should have had eyes on at all times. Clearly they didn't.

[Mr. Dazzle]

Could also just be they genuinely lost sight of him, I suspect you don't drive the support boat right on top of the person in case you bump into them? Might have been a bit wavy etc. so they didn't see him go under and of course didn't see him not come up again either.

Biden Administration just got slapped on the pee pee for violating the First regarding censoring & interferring with Google. FB & Twitter etc & the judge ordered them to back the fuck off (paraphrased).
