Did you read the name of the sub before you replied?

The singular ‘dumbass’ to the plural ‘sovereign citizens’

There’s a belief that (I’m going to heavily paraphrase/over simplify here) when you’re born, there are two versions of you … The ‘corporation’, and the ‘real’ you.

Any document issued by the government i.e. birth certificates, social security etc is against the corporate version of you. And as a ‘real’ person, you are not part of a system you didn’t consent to.

So when you get pulled over for speeding, it was your real self who was driving travelling, not the corporation, and only the corporate self is beholden to the law. This same idea is applied to taxes…

The story of “playing with grenades while drunk and high on cocaine” was so plausible too.

Might pay to read up on the luddites.

They protested against manufacturers who used machines in “a fraudulent and deceitful manner” to replace the skilled labour of workers and drive down wages by producing inferior goods.

Well, they can …

Doctor’s in the UK offer screening for Down’s syndrome, Edwards’ syndrome and Patau’s syndrome at 10-14 weeks.

Please can you explain this in genetic terms?

As I understood it, sex is determined by the presence, or absence, of a Y chromosome, at the 23rd pair.

While exceptions exist, they’re incredibly rare genetic observations and I have never heard or read it referred to as a “spectrum”.

In a modern internet context:

Fear. Uncertainty. Doubt.

Often used in crypto circles when a shitty project is being accused of being a rug pull. The scammer may say “it’s just FUD, ignore it”.

On ‘the street’, if I called someone a fud, it is calling them an idiot.

The game is rigged

Story mode / Infinite lives / invincibility modes.

Difficulty should not be a barrier for entry. I like how Insomniac games like Ratchet and Clank, and to a lesser extent Spiderman, offer a really easy mode for those who just want to blast away or swing around New York.

Informative and unfortunate.

Who ‘knocked up’ the ‘knocker-upper’?

Lol, find me a tattoo artist that takes credit card and they can have my skin, twice.

Pretty damning, when it’s the government’s own electoral commission making these admissions.

I have no idea. But my gripe is the lack of a clear notice that “this is a paid article and you must be paid member to view it”, it just says words to the effect “sign in to view”.

Medium.com is absolutely rotten for this behaviour.

Not only putting the soft, “sign in to view” but then on some articles requiring a full hard paywall… But you only know this after signing in.

I’m not entirely against charging for well written articles; good writers deserve compensation, but don’t tease me, make me jump through a hoop only to find there’s another much higher hoop sitting beyond it.

How could I forget Mono.

The album (ep?) For your parents is amazing.

I will give Ryuichi Sakamoto a listen now.
