@Jo oh of course they're into blockchain

@rey @Jo far as I'm concerned as seriously not a legal expert get a lawyer if you're getting sued, you can't get sued for someone slipping there

@rey @Jo oh you're not, far as I'm aware there have been precisely 0 cases where someone's been sued for not clearing a path they're not legally required to clear properly

@Jo oh yeah, I'd assume it's all garbage but I'm still not entirely sure what my local council actually does

It appears to be sweet fuck-all

@Jo quite possibly, yeah

Either that or they just don't have any money at all

@rey @Jo advised by probably the daily mail going on about how "elf and safety gone mad" and how people suing people for minor injury is on the rise and such

It's 100% bullshit

But we're also not legally required to do anything about paths not on our land

@Jo town council probably, as they own the public footpaths (for the most part)

@Jo no, we SAY we don't clear it for that reason

We actually don't clear it because we don't give a shit about our neighbours beyond that required to keep up appearances

@squirrel you are!

@squirrel @alice@elekk.xyz well, I've always wanted to go see some penguins where they live, so if I manage to arrange that then I'll pick you up on the way there

@squirrel @alice@elekk.xyz hmm... you might be small enough to fit in a FedEx 25 kilo box

@squirrel I dunno, I'd melt at 30c even if it wasn't stagnant and humid

@squirrel I'll get them to ship you a few containers full of cold

@squirrel will do, got far too much here

@squirrel not narcissistic at all, everybody loves maple a whole lot!

@kibi @KitRedgrave@glitch.social babber comes by way of baby, but in this phrase it's mostly used as a term of endearment

bist I think comes from either saxon or german

@KitRedgrave@glitch.social @kibi Heh, yep, the fantastic thing about English dialects, go 10 miles and they'll pronounce things differently, 50 miles they'll have a few different words, 100 miles and you won't understand a word of it

@kibi @KitRedgrave@glitch.social closest I can get in written English is "alright my babber(no standard English equivalent), how bist(no standard English equivalent)"
