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.

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.

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.

Another point is that homes in the UK are so badly insulated you on average have to use three times as much energy to keep it warm than in Germany for example. And the people who are most unlikely to afford heating will live in the worst insulated houses.

This is shaping up to be their Vietnam. The earlier conflicts were short and diplomatic pressure from their benefactors managed to bring peace fairly quick, but both the Houthi and Hamas seem unlikely to cave under such pressure.

Now they are trying to actually fight an entrenched enemy instead of just lobbing bombs at them from afar.

This is a thread of big lies that people believe.

Colonialism was a civilising mission.

Neoliberalism has also broken people’s brains to believe that nothing better is possible and anyone promising something other than managed decline or being vindictive against an outgroup is a charlatan.

We need some economist to come out and say everyone is wrong and things are great actually, the plebs haven’t even considered the line going up.

The true signifier of a good economy is increased exploitation after all.

How does this favour fast fashion?

People who are unable to smoothly merge or use slip roads without slowing down 500m before even starting to turn off should have their licenses revoked unless they take a driving course to correct their behaviour.

People who zigzag should just be put in a gulag however. Scum of the earth.

Nah, it was these three children and their mum that denied it.

Breaking up the genocide for 4 hours a day to do some ethnic cleansing instead. This is why it is important to

People point out that Churchill was against Hitler ‘from the beginning’ as some great moral stance when the reason was that he was a German imperialist and the Anglos didn’t want anyone else at the table.

Opinions on Churchill is a great litmus test for anyone who is ‘into’ WW2. Your average Joe will only have seen the hagiographies, but you don’t have to scratch further than millimetres under the surface to find this kind of shit.

I used to listen to ‘historiepodden’ and was annoyed at some of the libbery and such, but not a lot of history podcasts that focus on Swedish history around. But I had to drop it after one of the hosts went on a rant about how great an injustice it was that the Brits voted Churchill out of office as he was such a great man.
