Hey, the British were bloody imperial colonialists, not fascists though. Get it right!

Except that Sodor is noted to be in the United Kingdom, which means Thomas was loyal to His Britannic Majesty and served his king and country, not those Nazi scum.

For those confused, “virgin” olive oil means olive oil that has not been mixed (“adulterated”) with other substances. “Extra virgin”, in the United States, refers to olive oil that has the lowest acidity content and the strongest olive flavour, and this comes from the freshest and most quickly-pressed olives. Olive oil that is merely “virgin” is still unadulterated but may be used from olives that are not in their prime in terms of ripeness or have been sitting around for a few days, and thus has a higher acidity level.

“Refined olive oil” is virgin olive oil that has been chemically refined to produce a more stable oil which generally doesn’t have the taste of virgin olive oil nor the health benefits.

“Pure olive oil” is a mixture of mostly refined olive oil with a small amount of virgin or extra-virgin olive oil.

“Light olive oil” is olive oil that has been adulterated with other, cheaper oils.

There are two principal races of the Britons, the Caledonians and the Maeatae, and the names of the others have been merged in these two. The Maeatae live next to the cross-wall which cuts the island in half, and the Caledonians are beyond them. Both tribes inhabit wild and waterless mountains and desolate and swampy plains, and possess neither walls, cities, nor tilled fields, but live on their flocks, wild game, and certain fruits…They dwell in tents, naked and unshod, possess their women in common, and in common rear all the offspring. Their form of rule is democratic for the most part, and they are very fond of plundering; consequently they choose their boldest men as rulers…They can endure hunger and cold and any kind of hardship; for they plunge into the swamps and exist there for many days with only their heads above water, and in the forests they support themselves upon bark and roots, and for all emergencies they prepare a certain kind of food, the eating of a small portion of which, the size of a bean, prevents them from feeling either hunger or thirst

—Cassius Dio

Most of Britain is marshland because it is flooded by the continual ocean tides. The barbarians usually swim in these swamps or run along in them, submerged up to the waist. Of course, they are practically naked and do not mind the mud because they are unfamiliar with the use of clothing, and they adorn their waists and necks with iron, valuing this metal as an ornament and a token of wealth in the way that other barbarians value gold. They also tattoo their bodies with various patterns and pictures of all sorts of animals. Hence the reason why they do not wear clothes, so as not to cover the pictures on their bodies. They are very fierce and dangerous fighters, protected only by a narrow shield and a spear, with a sword slung from their naked bodies. They are not familiar with the use of breast-plates and helmets, considering them to be an impediment to crossing the marshes. Because of the thick mist which rises from the marshes, the atmosphere in this region is always gloomy

—Herodian of Antioch

Very many who dwell farther inland do not sow grain but live on milk and flesh, clothing themselves in skins. All the Britons paint themselves with woad, which produces a dark blue color; and for this reason they are much more frightful in appearance in battle. They permit their hair to grow long, shaving all parts of the body except the head and the upper lip. Ten and twelve have wives 16 common among them, especially brothers with brothers and parents with children; if any children are born they are considered as belonging to those men to whom the maiden was first married

Facebook Marketplace is pretty good though, at least in the US. All other Facebook features are rubbish

Since when have these people cared about the opinions of women

From a formal logic perspective, your statement is true. But in real life, the more important distinction is not between “true” and “false”, but between “purposefully deceptive and ungenuine disinformation” versus “outspoken dissenting viewpoint”. And that is one that people are really bad at telling the difference between, especially if the viewpoint in particular is one that they hold very strongly.

Baking soda is sodium bicarbonate. Dissolving it in water will increase its pH. I’m not sure if that works for killing bacteria.

Pretty sure humans are not the most co-operative animals alive.

Bees and ants exist, you know

Uh oh. You should not have said that. Run for cover.

I know it’s a copypasta, but I correctly differentiated GNU and Linux in my comment.

Maybe so, but children don’t always adopt the ideology of their parents. They usually do, but not always.

That doesn’t make him a socialist. He doesn’t espouse any of the core socialist beliefs there. He’s just saying he’s a “woke communist” (as described by the right), which could mean anything from a centre-left liberal to a Marxist.
