  • Did they have to get the whitest guy on the Met to announce this?

    1. Rolls-Royce - German owned
    2. Radio Caroline - British owned
    3. Twinings - British owned
    4. Cadbury - American owned
    5. Bass - Canadian/American owned
    6. Burberry - British owned
    7. Transport for London (TfL) Roundel - British designed
    8. Calpol - not a single product, just the British name for paracetamol
    9. Mini - German owned
    10. BBC - well, who knows at this point

    So that's not a great track record for our most iconic brands.

  • That's not a warning to subscribe, it's a threat. You might want to get your affairs in order.

  • How did I know they were targeting a queer nightclub before I read the article?

  • but it's nice that the game recognises that gay people would have existed regardless of the cultural attitudes at the time.

    The late mediaeval period was actually fairly accepting of gay relationships, with a legal doctrine of Brotherment being practiced in several countries, where two men would legally join their lives and assets, and which often included declarations of affection.

  • “I guess apparently they had made a pledge to the public at large that they would make their club a safe space for all people, and that they would ban anything they deemed transphobic,” Chappelle reacted on his “The Midnight Miracle” podcast at the time. “This is a wild stance for an artistic venue to take, especially one that’s historically a punk rock venue.”

    This guy doesn't understand any subculture, does he? The punks are, historically, very anti-fascist, and the ones I know are also some of the strongest queer allies I've ever met. And this guy is surprised that they didn't want his bigotry masquerading as humour.

  • Unfortunately her suffering is also being put upon many innocents as well, which is less than ideal.

  • This isn't speedrunning, this is a Rogue-like.

  • So the distinction of Shepherds Pie is lamb, Cottage Pie is beef is pretty modern and didn't exist when these recipes first appear within our history. Shepherd and Cottage appear interchangeably, with the recipes calling for beef, lamb, pork, chicken, or whatever meat you have on hand. They also don't include a gravy, it's pretty much just meat covered in mash potato.

    My point is that any time some pedantic chud tries to tell you that you're doing something wrong, you're saying it wrong, you're enjoying it wrong, turns out they themselves are invariably in the wrong. Call the pie whatever you want, it doesn't matter what you call it, it's still a yum.

  • I'm keeping hold of my pixel with GrapheneOS while also keeping an eye on the new Jolla Linux phone. If that achieves even a half way decent experience, that'll be my next phone. Android is too much work to keep control of your own data.

  • There is also a survivorship bias at play here. Old appliances that are still in use are exactly the appliances where all the constituent parts were top quality, that have had the right maintenance, that have, against all odds, survived. Plenty of those old appliances didn't survive.

    Yes capitalism has done what it does to increase profitability and desirability, but there are still got quality appliances that last. They just usually don't have the most features, or a luxury look. When I got a new fridge-freezer last year, the guy who installed it told me that he rarely saw that model returned or repaired, and when it was repaired, it was pretty cheap. He also said he'd never buy a smart fridge, so I felt vindicated in buying the simplest device on the market.

  • That's what non-binary people have.

  • Ffs, fucking Zionists.

  • I remember going to a sci-fi costume party years ago where a friend had glued a Jaffa Cake on his forehead. He was a Jaffa.

  • The spell Frieren gets from her is so wonderfully useless, I wonder if she took the spell book with her to the northern plateau just in case she met Frieren. Why else would she waste the space? Plus, she is really horny for short, cute girls.

  • So it's the best bits of Kotlin in normal Java? Looks nice. Will give it a play.

  • Yeah, that's just to normalise rentable levels. Once it has been begrudgingly accepted, there'll be one that requires premium currency. Never buy EA.
