Forest management is a bit hit and miss in the UK but as a general rule our woods (native deciduous and spruce/fir factory farms) tend to not flame up that as often - at the moment. It’s more the kinda scrubland (flat or hilly) that we have a problem with.

A lot of it is kids (and the odd braindead adult) dicking around with lighters.

Yeah, I do know. Just have a bump though - terrible things happen in public toilets.

I actually worked a short contract for a UK brewery boxing-in all the porcelain in the cubicles to try and discourage this practice. Night shift, in a men’s toilet, is hell of an addition to any cv.

You just know that some coke head has ripped a fat line in that position… apparently there’s nowhere classier than the top of a cistern to get your sniff-on.

Edit: Seat down, obviously.

Making drinks is fairly easy, dealing with customers is the difficult bit…

I assume you live somewhere where all further/university education, accommodation and sustenance is provided freely by the state. Lucky you.

Most of the places I’ve lived you have to pay real actual money to further your formal education and if mommy and daddy can’t financially help their brave little soldier than that brave little soldier would need to get a job. Maybe something in the evening; or the weekend. So it don’t interfere with class time…

Fucking Stormfront. What an absolute abomination. I haven’t thought about them for years…

Sometime probably around the turn of the century I was emailed a link to like a Q & A or advice section on the site.

This nazi had to learn a second language and wanted to know where people drew the line as acceptable foreign languages.

Some said English only… but that Danish, German, Polish, Russian etc were kinda acceptable. Spanish, Italian, French etc was shaky ground and best avoided. Anything outside of Europe you might as well kill yourself before we do. That was the gist of the answers.

It was hilarious, terrifying and pitiful in equal measures…

If there’s a chance of a cure for the disease I’d rather let that person live so they could become an example of redemption.

The undeniable life long psychological toll of taking another human’s life, regardless of the justification.

The creating of martyrs.

Counter violence begetting more violence.

Depriving other humans of a friend, loved one, family member etc generally works as a great recruitment strategy - which is best avoided.

The colloquial use of the word fascist versus its actual definition.

Silencing of opposition doesn’t always have the intended consequences.

etc etc

P.S. Having said that, if they’re wearing matching armbands and shirts whilst tooled-up and marching towards someone’s house because of how they were born or their lifestyle then, yeah, it’s probably time to load up and take the safety off. Gotta draw a line somewhere…

You should read-up on some of the things, outside their field of expertise, that have been believed by Nobel Prize winners.

Even big brain people can harbour tiny brain thoughts somewhere so it might be possible to get A’s in history, eng lit and a modern language whilst still being scientifically illiterate. Who knows?
