The person telling the joke is calling himself a moron.  :mellow:

:P sorry it was just too easy

Nah, I think he means everyone cheats, whether moron or not. He is Russian, you know.

Dat's da joke.  DG is indicating that he isn't a cheater.

Reading a story about Facebook and online ads. It said about how all of us have had the weird or embarrassing algorithm stories - but then had the story of Melissa Edwards, 38, from London who lost her twins for months into her pregnancy. She continued to receive maternity-related ads for months and said she basically ended up repeatedly googling "miscarriage" in the hope that it would sort of shift the algorithm away from constantly showing her baby ads.

Which is just incredibly sad - an accidental cruelty built into someone's life every day :(

I'm not sure, but they seem to have an agenda, maybe? :hmm:

:lol: It's unhinged - but it's been a delight today watching basically all of Scottish and Irish Twitter get blocked by this project. Unclear if Welsh Twitter's aware what's happening. They are receiving a lot of pushback from actual Celts.

Also on the clips doing the rounds the "acting" and accents are remarkable.

I am having a hell of a time browsing through their site and seeing all the fucked-up language.  :lol:
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

Yes, the Greeks have famously left no works of speech, or at least none of significance compared to their sculptures and paintings.  :wacko:
