As much as I support the Palestinian cause, and abhor the Israeli government, I'd feel really uncomfortable in an audience where I was being asked / told to give a standing ovation to flags. Particularly as he also threw the Ukrainian flag in there. Just because someone supports one, they might not support the other. And just because sometimes supports a nation of civilians in a conflict, doesn't mean they'd support the government represented by the state. I don't think anyone deserved abuse for not being coerced into doing something they didn't want to do. I just really hate being told what to do though.

No. I don't believe the state should have the power to end someone's life. That's my fundamental position. I would also argue that if it did, this is open to abuses of power, corruption, and miscarriages of justice that can never be fixed.

Are there people I wish were dead, and who I think deserve to be killed? Sometimes. But that's not a pleasant thought, and I certainly don't think that my emotions should be carried into action, because it doesn't get humanity anywhere in the long run.

Do you wear them every day? Ideally you should give all footwear a day of rest to let the bacteria die off. Possibly more if you live somewhere humid.

Quietly, peacefully, and when I'm ready. All my experience of death has been unpleasant and traumatic, and I'd really like mine to just be ok. I know it's a lot to hope for though.

Your comment comes across as ignorant and flippant tbh. When treatment makes you so ill you'd rather die, a lot of people choose to stop treatment. If a lower dose can be effective, shouldn't that be explored, so that people's quality of life can improve and they are able to make it through to the end of treatment?

For Christmas and her birthday my niece gets a craft box subscription, and a day out with Aunty Charlytune. She gets so many presents from family, friends of family, and friends, it's ridiculous. This Xmas I did get her a little handmade witches chest off Etsy that was filled with little potion bottles and trinkets, it was less than £15 though and I think she'll make a really good witch so really it's a practical gift.

If you mean the floating lanterns they're usually made with wire and are a hazard to wildlife and domestic animals, as well as creating litter.

I once used prestidigitation to create a fart near some goblins to distract them when we unexpectedly walked into a room full of them. They started arguing and fighting about who did it and we ran away.

I'm imagining your brother watching you bounce down the rocks shaking his head and saying "you haven't changed a bit". Mainly because that's exactly what my brother would do.

"Prisencolinensinainciusol" by Adriano Celentano. I don't know if we could really say what language it's in, but I definitely don't speak it.

There's nothing in that article about tea, why has the title been editorialised and why was tea included in it?

I'm getting spork vibes. Nothing is new. This too shall come to pass.
