Oh yeah? Well I think you’re wrong!

Can they not make a legal claim given that their employer is putting words into their mouth in communications with the public, especially given that it’s highly politically charged wording that would damage their reputation, plus in a normal country saying such things at work like that would get you sacked.

I don’t know the legalities, but if my employer made it seem like I’d said something like that I’d demand an immediate apology, a reprimand for whomever did it, and a public redaction and apology sent to everybody that had received the fraudulent message.

That seems reasonable and fair.

Terrorists just need to say they’re sowee and everything’s okay?

I wanted to move to Jellyfin, but there isn’t an app for it on the LG WebOS library like there is for Plex, so I wouldn’t be able to watch stuff on my TV, which sadly makes it useless for me :-(

I don’t have the money to be going out and buying extra add-ons for my TV to watch stuff either, sadly. So, Plex it is for now!

Do I retain my inertial momentum? If so, I immediately slam into the ground or shoot up into the sky, turning into a fine mist or burning up instantly, or both.

If the planet (and the universe) stop moving, but I don’t, I’m dead, haha.

Similarly if we say that I don’t retain that momentum, what happens to my ability to see? Light is no longer travelling, so I’ll be mostly blind? Will I be able to move through the air, given that I’ll be pushing on time-frozen air molecules? If I can move them by exerting force, are they sufficiently sparse that they have somewhere to move that doesn’t require pushing even more frozen air, to the point that moving becomes very difficult?

Will air that I’ve moved continue to move after I breathe it out, or will it go back to being frozen in time, such that I can’t sleep or stay in the same spot for long, because I will build up an unmoving cloud of CO2 around my face and die?

What other ways can you think of that would make pausing time this way suck or kill you? :-D

I’m sold, this sounds fantastic! Where might I procure it in the UK do you reckon?

God I wanna eat it right now

I really could care less either way.

My pet peeve is people who say this expression wrong, because it’s not only slightly mispronounced, but entirely turned on it’s head to mean the exact opposite of its intention. This reversal of meaning seems clear, so I’m not sure why the error is so prolific, though it does seem more of a thing in other countries like the USA, not so much here.

It’s “couldn’t care less”, not “could care less”. You’re trying to say “I care so little that it is not possible for me to care any less than I do already”.

Instead, by saying you “could care less”, you are being ambiguous about how much you care, but confirming that you care at least a little bit (or possibly due to the ambiguity it’s the most important thing in your life and you care so, so much).

Sorry if I sound grouchy, it’s just something that’s bugged me for a long time and here at 5am is when I decided to finally say something about it, haha. No shade on you personally though, as the hip youths would say! :-D

That’s a term? What’s it mean, besides identifying someone as black and Irish? O.o

Flag shaggers aren’t known for their high intelligence…

They graffitied two planes in protest against England’s support of Israel’s genocide, which makes them evil dangerous terrorists!

Not that I’d support them of course, I’m no terrorist - I fully support whatever genocides my country wants to participate in please do not gulag me Kid Starver oh no he’s in the hou

I’m the coming civil war, they believe the MAGA Army will use Cybertrucks, so it’s best to prepare a defence against them.

Exactly, that’s absolutely a knife. A huge one.

It may also be used as a trowel, but looks at it, that looks like something crocodile dundee would throw at someone.

A guy walking around in public with that strapped to his belt in a tactical looking holster is just asking for trouble. He was probably looking forward to the day the cops got him for it. He can’t have been so stupid to have that on and think “this is totally fine, nobody would ever be concerned by this”.

Did you see that “trowel”?

It looks like a big hunting knife. I garden, I have an allotment and grow all sorts for years, I’ve never seen a trowel that looks anything like that before.

Sure, maybe it’s some specialised sharp knife-like trowel from Asia that nobody here has seen before, but that is exactly why it’s reasonable to assume it’s a knife, first and foremost.

I also heard the guy was dressed like he was cosplaying being in the army (in camo), but that may not be the case. It would make one further suspicious of him though, if it is true.

A guy walking around with a big sharp “trowel” in (to joe public) a green tactical looking holster thingy, wearing army camo? Yeah, that doesn’t sound like a bloke going down the allotment to tend to the cabbages.

Obviously it was a misunderstanding in the end, but at the same time, I can 100% understand why the fuzz would make some safe assumptions to disarm someone of their potentially deadly weapon.

The bloke can’t have been stupid either, he was carrying the very weapon like thing visibly in public, and when the bobbies asked him to drop it he acted like he had no clue what they were on about? Come on.

I could understand buying and using a trowel that’s weird like that, if that’s what you’re into, but it’s common sense that it looks like a weapon and should obviously be concealed as to not worry joe public. Especially if you’re planning to go around wearing army clothes or whatever, but even so.

…Might help to mention what hemisphere you’re in, or continent you’re on? Or country? Or city?

The reason for your local change in nightlife could be anything from a wide, wide range of reasons, almost all of which depend heavily on where you are.

Let’s not be like the uncouth Defaultist Americans that assume everybody in the world lives where they do. Let’s be better, and let’s provide a location when it’s key info.

Ah, this isn’t talking about the big war on adult content in the UK right now that’s across all the headlines. Just for those who wanted to see more on that. This is foreign stuff.

The Mirror is a shit rag, fuck that newspaper.

But ya.

It’s a shame, I had no idea he owned Sky News. I usually found them to be an excellent professional news source when one doesn’t want the Governmental bias of the BBC.

I wouldn’t trust Comedy Central though, joke or not, they’re American, and the Americans can’t be trusted these days either.

I suppose the lesson here, sadly, is that we can’t believe anything from any source at all. Assume everything is half-truths, half-reported, and what we’re being shown is the distraction from the thing they don’t want us to look at.

I wish I knew how to find the hidden “real news”, but the sorts of people that purport to provide it are loonies in their basements in tinfoil hats, alas. Though, perhaps that’s just the image of them that the media wants us to see…

:-(

If Andy Capp actually had his own line of pub crisps like this mock up it would be hilarious, I’d have to try them 😂

I still read Andy Capp from time to time, used to see him in the Mirror but now I get him online!

Yeah, I’m not even in that country, I’m not sure how it’s relevant to us all.

Many countries have corrupt governments sadly, it sucks, and I wish them the best in however they fight their internal societal enemies.

Really? A greater effect than not having children, or tireless activism against one billionaire until they realise the error of their ways and turn to the light side?
