@squirrel ooh, that'd look really neat

@aji not unethical, but everyone will think you're a prick

@er1n well, it'd have to have a masto instance on it

they should make a film about Mad Jack Churchill

@rey living dangerously I see

@noelle Oh hell yes, IBM BASIC

I taught myself how to (kinda) code with that one

@squirrel I did!

And a very good robot you are too

@meena yeah, it's meant to be for the sake of debate between people acting in good faith (pun not intended) but everyone knows how debates go on the internet

@meena yeah, comes from Advocatus Diaboli (latin for Devil's Advocate), they were a canon lawyer that had the job of uncovering any character flaws or misrepresentation of evidence favouring the canonisation of a candidate

They served as the party advocating against making someone a saint, and were up against the Advocatus Dei (God's Advocate) who were arguing that someone should be made a saint

@squirrel so have I!

I've been posting whimsical and half baked ideas when I should have been calling pleroma admins cunts!

@squirrel yeah, it's been quite a while

you'd have thought they'd have gotten over it by now

@squirrel how long has it been since the block? And they're still whining about it?

@meena the first devil's advocates were catholic priests arguing against making someone a saint

So I'm pretty sure Satan's used to that bullshit by now and has a special little place in hell for them

@Elizafox @Siphonay@octodon.social "Sorry sir, must have gotten confused and radioed in the coordinates of the base rather than the artillery range"

@Siphonay@octodon.social consider: a gun could be really useful for "accidentally" damaging more French military equipment

"Sorry sir, I missed and accidentally put 12 bullet holes in that truck's engine over there"

@bea @kibi you could plug a keyboard into your phone!

Best of both worlds

@Siphonay@octodon.social well that's bullshit
