Is not shooting ships in Providence and participating in an invasion not a “sort of nullsec politics and related drama”?

Because going to null-sec halfway across the cluster to shoot at miners is neither politics not drama. You leave that to those who have to pick up the pieces after you’re done.

Pirating again @Diana_Kim ? I thought we talked about this?

Ventures is just how it starts but then the blood gets in the water and you smell it and you just can’t help going for larger prey.

They say that once a shark tastes human-blood, it becomes a man-eater for life.

That’s you - a pirate now for life.

So there I was, asleep and having a really good dream about cheesecake, and just as it was getting to the good bit, I was rudely awakened by my slaver hound who said “Terribly sorry to wake you ma’am, but I detected signs of a dimensional rift that could allow demons to enter the material realm”. At that point, I realised I was having a dream within a dream, and then woke up to find my slaver hound howling at nothing tangible. Just like every slaver hound or dog or several other kinds of pet/guardian/companion animals are wont to do on occasion.
So I said to my hound “what is It, did you hear something ?” And she growled and pointed at a door, which I opened to discover a large moth. Which I gently caught and put outside, then went back to bed.

Aren’t hounds great.

Maybe big ones. Little ones? Not so great.

For spreading a public slander against Caldari State officer on a public media and bringing in false accusation in a crime not through a tribunal case, you will be set as wanted unless you surrender yourself to the proper authority to answer for your crimes. Flying around Caldari warzone in any sort of warship that can fit guns, including mining vessels will be considered as refusal to surrender to the law and you will be shot on contact just like other pilots suspected in piracy.

Have a nice day.

Depends on the breed. Some smaller hound breeds, intended to work at vermin control, catching rodents and other vermin, are pretty great as companion/pets.

Those yappy ones bred purely to fit in handbags, with no underlying work purpose, those are very questionable.

Doesn’t matter how smart or wonderful they are. They’re little. ie: not-so-great.

Pedant.

You only say that because it’s true.

Also, because you missed the joke the first time. :stuck_out_tongue:

That you not go making futile gestures you know will have no actual impact out to be some kind of significant step you’re taking as a clever and principled stand.

If you want to do something to make yourself feel better, fine. Just be honest about precisely how little impact you’ll make in the process, and don’t try to play it up like this deep and meaningful protest action.

Two points. First, every gesture is futile until it isn’t. Second, I don’t know whether my actions will have an actual impact. How do you know that they won’t? Do you have a back channel to Lai Dai that we should know about?

Because toxic waste is far from the most volatile or dangerous substance capsuleers often amass in their hangars, including in places like Jita, or the Lai Dai stations in Inoue where I lived and worked ten-something years ago. Some of those horribly dangerous things are still in those LD stations, and have been for a decade, without anyone so much as blinking an eye.

Putting toxic waste on the market? That just earns a ‘Damn, eggers be crazy, yo.’

LD hasn’t challenged the legality of selling toxic waste, though. She’s still got her orders up, as she’s said.

As for the rest: sacking monasteries and medical centers is bad. We have exactly no chance of doing feck-all about it, though. Anyone claiming otherwise is just posturing, and you know it. Lai Dai doesn’t care what we think, and they don’t have any incentive to change that fact.

Dude, do what you want 'cause a pirate is free! You are a pirate.

I mean, you couldn’t even back up a challenge you made to me in public. You said - name the ships and location and you never showed up.

Chicken Noises

So I guess you’re not the honourable Caldari officer at all, but a scurvy swashbuckler who can’t even turn up for a duel.

Yar har fiddle-dee-dee, being a pirate is alright with me! You are a pirate.

Nomi, if I say that “most of us” something and you say that “well, some of us,” don’t something, that’s not contrary, that’s additive. “Most” is not “all.” “Most” leaves room for others, which would be the “some.”

Congratulations on your reading comprehension… Hope it was worth becoming a pedant…

Not as much as it was worth you becoming an asshole, I guess.
