Exactly. He may well be rich relative to a poor person but in the scheme of overall wealth hoarding he’s not even a blip on the radar. The reason he got the sentence he got is nothing to do with his assets. It would be glib to suggest otherwise.

Huw Edwards may - or may not - be many things but rich is not one of them. He was a television news anchor on the BBC. A bang-average Premier League footballer could easily out earn him.
Smoking (anything) close to non-smokers is a person problem. Like folk who play their music audibly on transport. It’s selfish and anti social.
3/20th of a metre is a wild measurement to read.
Elon Musk is the joke. It’s just not funny.
An actual, real, self-confessed, Hitler-loving Nazi? Yes. I’d punch them until my arm fell off and then I’d borrow my friend’s arm to punch them some more…
Catholic Church enters the chat.
Yeah, sorry. I forgot the cows. His entire diet is: “beef, benzos and word salad.” I wish that, just for once, he’d drink a large glass of “shut-the-fuck-up” one day.
I think this dude is the guy I remember from Mastodon - I didn’t spend much time there. Pens some real bangers if so.
I’m sorry to hear that. I hope life becomes slower and calmer for you in the future. I don’t read anything into up or down votes. I just open my fat stupid mouth and anonymously comment. Sometimes people like it, sometimes they don’t. Voting is more a reflection of the people you talk to. I’m sure the first person who said the world was round and circled the sun would have been downvoted into oblivion back in the day, but… gestures broadly at modern astronomy. Don’t sweat it.
Couple of teeth, bit of an ear, part of a finger plus a couple of dents on my flesh. Something very big went “boom” near me. I’m also a bit deaf in one ear. I am incredibly lucky to have survived, let alone walk out. All of it will be patched up apart from the finger - even my hearing might come back. You might not notice if you pass me on the street but if you sat opposite me you probably would. It’s no big thing.
It’s easier for most people to believe that different coloured or dressed folk, or those that look the same but speak differently, are the reason your life is difficult. It couldn’t possibly be the people that look and sound like you that are your problem. In the UK it’s been said before that a white British guy in a factory job has more in common with a Jamaican bricklayer or a Polish chamber maid than they do with Boris Johnson. I believe that position.
The idea of any mainstream US politician being left wing is hilarious to people that understand politics. The Democrats are less to the right than the Republicans. They are not even a centrist party.
No party wants to lose voters. No company wants to lose customers. No house of worship wants to lose congregants. It’s that simple; I believe.
That I’m missing a couple of body parts… nothing that big, major or important though so it doesn’t really hinder me.
Sorry. Do I understand this correctly? You were getting stressed by random internet strangers downvoting you? Are you serious?
Back on the Benzos? Go tidy your room and have a shower; you’ll be fine.
I don’t think they’re suggesting the entire world becomes a giant foster home. That’s not really the spirit of this post.
There’s a world of difference between an annoying vegan and veganism being annoying.
Yeah - really confusing. I worked it out as (c.) 6 inches and then further confused myself as to why I was thinking inches from metres. Wild. Luckily I’ve lived with both metric and imperial and am apparently bilingual.
