It does actually feel good. So, if you are one of those who is able to give blood is (and many/most of us can't) it's an easy way to contribute positively to the world #GiveBlood #SpeirGorm

Wild. I sent few FGers emails and only got one ambiguous and mealy-mouthed response from a minister. I wonder how many of the emails they received were even anti-trans.

This stuff isn't true though, it's just the PR flak that I was referring to. We know what Facebook knew about what was going on in Myanmar because of whistleblowers like Haugen, and we know they didn't respond to the threat.

I'm of the view that Tolkien knew he was cheating but had written himself into a scenario that he needed to teleport characters in a was that GRRM was trying to resist.

The first link just refers back to the article you've already shared. The second points our that using real names is often dangerous for the victims of harassment (true, but not your point) The third link contradicts you, and they were testing the effect of "permanence"

The 4th link does support you, but it's not a great argument. They accept that there's a correlation, but rebuts the claim that it's the primary causal factor. Which is fine, maybe the problem is that assholes are abusive online, but if anonymity makes them more abusive then it's still relevant

That's Pim Fortuyn line (which he was using re: Muslim men and islamophobia). An old, old far right quip

I'd like to point out the nine (some areas have a couple of golf courses) that are south of the Liffey and not even in "South County Dublin" yet. I grew up near there and still didn't know most of them existed until I took a look at Google maps

Gonna be honest, a €6B over-run on a €90B budget only suggests that the government doesn't know how to budget. And, for the departments involved, the estimates the produce have decoupled from the real costs of the services they're providing
