As as to be said somehow literally every time these headlines are published, nominations for any Nobel prize are kept secret and announcing that you've submitted a nomination if anything makes them less likely to be accepted as it harms the nomination by harming the image of the nominator. Anyone can say they've nominated anyone for a Nobel Peace Prize and they can't be proven or disproven for 50 years.

Oh and "Pakistan" can't nominate anyone for a Nobel Prize. All you need to be a nominator for the Nobel Peace Prize is to be an elected official or a university professor, but you do have to be a person. The likely of a headline not bothering to distinguish between a person and their 250 million people nation seems to increase linearly with distance east from the Greenwich meridian.

Please remember this when that Norwegian 'scientist' nominations Trump or Elon or whoever in October like he does every year.

Your election season is 2 years long and is somehow measured by how much money is spent reaching voters.

It is absolutely normal when not campaigning to work with people who can actually effect change, particularly if the masses seem more intent on vying for virality of their protest sign selfies and not upsetting anyone rather than actually resisting fascism.

Half the time I think when American liberals say they want to "resist fascism" I think they understand that to mean that they're fighting the urge to actively take part in it.

The fuck are you talking about? Do you think millions of people are going online with flashcarts that aren't pirates?

They keep registering at other instances which makes blocking them all frustrating

I'm all for shitting on tankies but I'm unsure what part of an all-male divine birthright theocracy they're supposed to support?

Bizarre questions like this make me more confident my blocklist is working

Because in theory you know what the server is running on, and can optimise for that with C++, while supporting the front end on multiple architectures using one codename with Java.

OK boys you've had your fun with the sectioning, there'll be no more sectioning today.

Well that just means you've got 8 seasons of Peep Show to watch.
