"Attempt"?

You can’t have a tiny pot metal Zelda sword letter opener that’s dull. Ridiculous place it is. 4 fucking months.

Seems like the law was meant to exclude the full-size Swiss army knife. They're great for most pocket knife purposes! But having damaged nerves on two fingertips from non-locking knives, yeah, I won't touch one. Although the "classic" is a great everyday pocket knife!

Funny enough, I was hiking today with a small "Rambo knife affixed to my backpack strap. Do I need that on a hike in the woods? LOL, hardly ever. But it's nice to have when I do need it.

Thanks for saying all that! We're clearly on the same page.

Reminds me of NYC cops bragging about taking away pellet guns.

"You... you can't be serious?!"

And guess where ICE is operating. I'll give you three guesses, but you're only going to need one.

Not that I really support cops confiscating orbeez guns as a general rule

But I work in 911 dispatch in a different area where orbeez guns aren't illegal, and they've been kind of a problem this year.

I think some of our local delinquents have taken to freezing the balls or modifying their guns to shoot faster or something, because we have had a few injuries and broken windows and such linked to orbeez guns this year.

Even without that, they're a pretty significant nuisance that have started a lot of fights because no one likes being pelted with orbeez.

And of course there's the problem that exists with all toy guns where if you paint them black or are running around with them in the dark it can be hard to tell them apart from a real gun which is asking for trouble.

And the countless calls I've gotten from neighborhood karens who "don't think it's safe" or "that they shouldn't be doing that here" is getting kind of old.

And not for nothing, orbeez can be really slow to break down in the environment and I wouldn't be surprised if they're contributing to our microplastics problem.

If there is a way to twist the interpretation of a law to say that orbeez guns are illegal, I'm not at all surprised to hear about cops doing just that. Not that I generally support that, but if you caught me on a bad day after I took a bunch of calls about kids with them, I might be tempted to sign a petition to get them banned.

Yeah idk what i was thinking there...

We need to cut off the UK from the global internet before this cancer spreads !

Whats been happening? Betrail in the people. The biggest in UK history

The centre left government are afraid of losing voters to the far right party, so they’re cutting out the middle man and implementing crazy authoritarian policies first.

And as quickly as possible, otherwise we'll fucking start living in a dystopia much sooner than we otherwise would have.

China is like a level of 1984 lol. :3

You would have to cut off the UK government and politicians from the rest of the worlds politicians, rather than cutting off the internet though. The idea to make these authoritarian laws is the contagious problem, not the people using the internet.

Labour won in a landslide after the Brexit mess rightfully fucked up the Tories. They do this because they aren't center left, but a right/far-right party by their ideology now. They don't have to do this. They want to do this.

The "Labour/Social Democratic" parties all over Europe have been sliding into right/far-right authoritarianism and Racism over the past decades, after many of them slided into Neoliberalism at the end of the 90s and in the 2000s.

Well, those politicians will use the population as human shield and we couldn't get to them, so the entire thing has to be cordonned off.
I think encircling the entire island in a safety minefield, the entire perimeter and 50 kilometer deep, a anti-air curtain that covers the entire Island plus 200 km in all directions, cutting all communication cables going to the Island and a radio jamming system that neutralizes all communication devices with a power rating less then 5 terawatts on RF bands from 20kHz to 750 THz would be a good start.

If that does not prove sufficient to silent the sources of this informational hazard infection then we will have to take serious measures such as sinking the whole thing by about 350 miles deep into the mantle.

Yeah that’s ridiculous. Not 4 month sentence ridiculous, but pretty ridiculous.

i heard guillotines are great at cutting things off

"Attempt at disguising censorship" perhaps.

Also worth noting that they only won by a landslide because the Tories lost loads of voters because people were so fed up with them. Labour actually got less votes this election than they did previously when they lost
