I don’t think it driven by hate watching but people constantly talking about something still does a lot of free advertisement. I would never have heard of Velma if it wasn’t because of people losing their shit online about it.

When it comes to rings of power I doubt that first season success was any part of future seasons being green lit, it is far too big of an investment to just throw out.

The thing they’re against is communal handwashing apparently.

That would be a ‘universal’ toilet and thus allowed.

According to ministers, 81% agreed with the intention for separate single-sex toilet facilities in a consultation on the proposals, while 82% also agreed with the intention to provide “universal” toilets – a self-contained, and a fully enclosed toilet room with a wash hand basin for individual use – where space allows.

Cement is kind of a big pile of rocks if you think about it. And yes, that is Treriksröset.

Can’t recall there being an active genocide going on with the full throated support of the US government when Biden got into office.

I don’t understand why access to WiFi is significant unless there is also an internet. What would be on this internet?

I guess we could get some interesting selfies if it was found at least.

Rooks. They’re the right blend of creepy/ugly/cute.

I used to be bored at work as I had too much downtime, so I decided to just accept more duties. Was nice to be able to solve problems learn new things and it made the time go faster. But you just keep getting more and more work and responsibilities heaped on you for doing a good job, and absolutely nobody notices it until you start falling apart. Then all of a sudden people you’ve never heard of are ‘concerned’ about you. At this point I am burnt out and do even less work than when I was bored, but the difference is that it also drains me.

The lesson is to never try to work at or around full capacity. Don’t fall into the trap of being bored and deciding to take on more work.

One of my pastimes as an incredibly lonely teenager was just observing jackdaws, crows and magpies. You can tell that they actually think before acting which is fascinating.

Also jackdaws have very pretty eyes.

Condemning reactionaries for only selectively being outraged by torture and then going on to say that torture is alright in this case is pretty jarring.

Looking at some of the cope about them not being Nazis from the Wikipedia citations.

No legionnaire has ever been part of the German National Socialist Workers’ Party.

Well then, I guess they simply can’t be nazis.

Snow and lack of sun in areas where it regularly drops below zero would be an issue with that.

There are also Hungarian, German and South African flags, and I doubt it has much to do with them either.

This is just how liberals virtue signal these days, no different from having a load of flags in your twitter name. Mostly surprised that there aren’t any Ukraine flags.

It is a bit like the image of Sweden as the rape capital of the world, when it was mostly due to that marital rape was a) a concept and b) each case during a marriage was counted separately instead of as one long case.

I couldn’t afford downhill skiing as a child (and we lived right next to a ski hill) and I am still vaguely resentful. Used to bring a sled up the hill by foot and go down it though. The only way I got to learn how fun it is was my mum winning a union raffle for a skiing weekend.

My brother twisted his ankle the first day, so it wasn’t very fun for him, but that is what we call a skill issue.

Does anyone around you use kicksleds? Remember them being all over when I was a child but haven’t seen one in years.

The Dutch were too non-white for him. I’ve seen the Welsh thing from other contemporary sources, but Lovecraft was Franklin levels of WASP only (who complained about the swarthy Swedes and Germans).

Indians were jealous and decided to drive their plate straight into the Big beautiful Eurasian plate. But we welcome them to them as new members despite this.

They cheer anything he says as well, even if it is unintelligible gibberish. Doesn’t matter what he says or does, he wears blu so gotta voot no matter who.

Not getting Nüremberg vibes for the reason that they’re simply following whomever is wearing blue at the moment, it is sports to them.

Iraq war with Tony Blair in charge.
