Nah skip the old man in position #2

Same, but replace 'article' with 'comments'

That guy needs executing

Fun fact! It's pronounced 'lattyboo-lar-tay'

Assume far more money is being spend on fire prevention, than what's currently lost in fire

For anyone reading this thinking that this may sound like a good rebuttal: it's a false equivalence.

Fire prevention is a worthwhile expenditure, because things being on fire when they shouldn't is generally very bad. The cost of fire prevention is worth it, especially when lives are at stake.

Benefit cheat-catching is (or at least should be) purely about net savings. What happens though is the costs outweigh the savings making them pointless, as well as hurting those in who accidently get caught in the net too.

Don't fall for specious arguments, folks! A pithy rebutally might sound convincing at first, but don't be afraid to think deeper about it. And don't be afraid to ignore the commenter if you believe they're arguing in bad faith.

Why would the guy with £1,000 be rolling in currency with dollar signs on it?

Honestly I don't think 'women and girls' feels clunky, but that's just me

The stairs are part of an art installation at the Kongresshaus in Biel, Switzerland. "Beautiful steps number two" was created in 2009 for an exhibition. The artists told the website Snopes the stairs and doors are not functional, and the steps are not meant to support real people.

 
 
 

I get about 1/1772 but I'm not confident

 
 
 

The orcas' trait is they orchestrate

 

I'm sick of random capitalisations mid sentence. I'm sick of common words being replaced by less common ones or even downright nonsense. I'm sick of it taking three attempts to successfully get the word I want. I swear it's been like this for five years or more. Can we have a better version yet, or at least the old one back?
