It's actually a pretty intelligent law for the reason I posted above - the government would basically be allowing themselves to detain people for apparently vague reasons for a fairly lengthy amount of time, or otherwise restrict freedoms, which would be pretty useful when lacking real evidence against potential suspects for other things. This isn't a frivolous thing - it will be abused as convenient. Can't actually convict someone they think robbed a store? Find dumb shit they posted online - BAM, two years. Some guy is annoying the government, but not actually doing anything illegal? Steal his username, post a vaguely threatening message on Twitter, arrest and defame. Maybe not that specific of circumstances, but the point I'm trying to make is there are few governments who are interested in the actual well-being and protection of the citizens, and it isn't as if we haven't learned time and again that they are not institutions bound by any honesty or moral obligations. They will lie, cheat, and remove you from the situation to ensure no loss. By making a broad spectrum of activities classified as some level of a blanketing criminal offense, the control they possess over the population grows quite strong. Which, it seems, is rapidly becoming the endgame here.

Dude, this is the british government. They dont have to make shit up, their cops could beat you to a pulp of human flesh for no apparent reason. What you say might make sense for any other country of bastards, but the british just dont give a fuck about pretending.

Boys and Girls on the Internet World "What can they do?"

You could always gift them some food pumped with laxatives. Or obtain their address and put shit in their mailbox. You know, let them know you don't take their piss and let them get away unscathed. You just have to be creative and hurt them where it hurts the most and systematically eliminate them. One. By. One.

You mean like raping their girlfriends while you force them to watch?

I wonder if they ever did this. I have not seen a bunch of stuff about people going to jail trolling in the UK.

  • The Helper The Helper:
    Looks like Google fixed whatever mistake that made the recipes on the site go crazy and we are no longer trending towards a recipe site lol - I don't care though because it motivated me to spend alot of time on the site improving it and at least now the content people are looking at is not stupid and embarrassing like it was when I first got back into this like 5 years ago.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Plus - I have a pretty bad ass recipe collection now! That section of the site is 10 thousand times better than it was before
  • The Helper The Helper:
    We now have a web designer at my job. A legit talented professional! I am going to get him to redesign the site theme. It is time.

    I got one more day of community service and then I'm free from this nonsense! I polished a cop car today for a funeral or something I guess
  • Varine Varine:
    They also were digging threw old shit at the sheriff's office and I tried to get them to give me the old electronic stuff, but they said no. They can't give it to people because they might use it to impersonate a cop or break into their network or some shit? idk but it was a shame to see them take a whole bunch of radios and shit to get shredded and landfilled

    If you are new to the site please check out the Recipe and Food Forum https://www.thehelper.net/forums/recipes-and-food.220/
  • Monovertex Monovertex:
    How come you're so into recipes lately? Never saw this much interest in this topic in the old days of TH.net
  • Monovertex Monovertex:
    Hmm, how do I change my signature?
  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    Signatures can be edit in your account profile. As for the old stuffs, I'm thinking it's because Blizzard is now under Microsoft, and because of Microsoft Xbox going the way it is, it's dreadful.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I am not big on the recipes I am just promoting them - I use the site as a practice place promoting stuff

  • Monovertex Monovertex:
    @tom_mai78101 I must be blind. If I go on my profile I don't see any area to edit the signature; If I go to account details (settings) I don't see any signature area either.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    You can get there if you click the bell icon (alerts) and choose preferences from the bottom, signature will be in the menu on the left there https://www.thehelper.net/account/preferences

    I think I need to split the Sci/Tech news forum into 2 one for Science and one for Tech but I am hating all the moving of posts I would have to do
