It's filling for the number of calories, and it doesn't break ketosis on a keto diet. I mean unless you're really anti processed foods (which you may still have a point) I'm still not sure where the problem is.

It's not ablism to suggest someone might not have the mental capacity to do a job.

I thought it would be obvious just looking at the shallowness of their reasoning. Also, an evil genius would at least act in their own interests, whereas the Tories have been pretty self-destructive.

I know they don't care but they're also not very intelligent. I thought that would be non-controversial. The capitalist class that put them there might be intelligent but not the politicians themselves.

You can still be cruel and mentally challenged.

They got in to power because of privilege. Those with privilege and intelligence have long since abandoned the Tory party, so you're just left with the bottom of the barrel; the privileged and dim - it's no wonder this country is failing.

It's like that whole encryption thing they're failing to push through; the fact that "this is an embarrassingly stupid and unworkable idea" never gets brought up just goes to show. They don't even know what encryption is, it's a joke.

This whole government makes a whole lot more sense once you come to the realisation that they're all mentally challenged in the literal sense. It wouldn't surprise me if they couldn't even conceptualise how the two things are related.

It's so real that I had to enable 3rd party scripts in uBlock Origin to get past the second page, is that intentional?

I support it if it's what the people want.

I think all wordsearches are mildly infuriating, I could never stand them.

Of course, yes, and that's why I'm not much of an advocate for English spelling reform. Japanese has particularly a lot of them.

Just a learner of Japanese here. Japanese is difficult to read if written purely phonetically because there are a lot of homophones (words that sound the same with different meanings).

So typically kanji carries the root of words and kana is for all the grammatical parts, loan-words, and everything else. Hiragana/katakana duplicate each other but are no more redundant than lower/upper case.

Speaking as a learner, sometimes it's easier to learn the kanji than the sound of the word so sometimes it can make learning to read easier.

Yes, it definitely encourages toxicity, and a kind of herd mentality as well.

Yeah, I think I might turn it off as well, it makes things a bit like a shouting match.
