Andrew Fucking Wakefield can never suffer enough for everything he’s responsible for

See, Disco had it right. Doctors wore white, compared to the navy blue uniforms of all the other divisions, including Sciences. Presumably during the war someone decided that your medic being conspicuously covered in blood gave a bad impression, that was downgraded to nurses (SNW Chapel) and the doctors wore blue (although the slightly lighter shade than science divison). Then later, nurses got blue as well (TOS Chapel). Or was Chapel a full MD by then? Not sure about that.

Hah. To swap eSIM on O2 in the UK, you have to order a physical pack that gets posted to you with the QR code in. There is no way to get the code to appear on a screen you can scan with your camera, or in an app on the phone you can transfer to the phone’s eSIM manager. It’s so dumb.

Yes. The answer to this isn’t to restrict what the NSA can do, the answer is to stop people’s privacy being a legally tradable commodity.

the expectation is that the players have just been paying attention to the game in general.

Hahaha. We just spent several months of game time (and several years of real time) taking a succubus-esque thing around with us because we didn’t listen to some NPCs at the very beginning and thought she was just a hostage we were rescuing. The GM spent so much time slowly building her up and making her ever so slightly more evil to see when we’d finally notice. Turns out it took literally mind controlling one of our named NPCs that worked in the circus. Boy, did we feel bad afterwards. We still didn’t know she was a succubus, we thought she was just an asshole, so we fired her. The GM let us know afterwards. There was no detail about her in the book other than the initial encounter, we were just supposed to kill her.

So yeah. Paying attention. We don’t really do that…

I don’t know American law, but isn’t offering favours in exchange for votes… illegal?

Jaxo is looking at him with the 'damn it, I still thought you were going to start Ice Ice Baby…" expression.

Rejected tag line for Sesame Street

WELL THAT’S ALL RIGHT THEN!

I 100% get why they changed them for Strange New Worlds, but damn if I don’t love that Enterprise-coloured Discovery-style uniform.

I’ve seen a story where one of the faire participants had a commbadge hidden in their costume, pulled the Trekkie to one side, showed it to them, then told them off for breaking the Prime Directive…

His face, his voice, his… everything…

“By Grabthar’s Hammer… … what a savings”

Well, I’ll believe it when I see it. But please, just give me a minute to sit back and enjoy that mental image…

“Rent for £3.99”

But I already pay for Amazon Prime, wtf? Greedy bastards…

Labour don’t want to talk about Brexit because they’re already on course to win the election by a landslide

Are they? Do they have any major policies or plans at all, or are they just relying on “well at least we’re not the Tories, right?”

I realise I don’t read the news much any more (because it’s depressing AF), but I’ve not seen anything to make me think the morons that voted for Brexit, and then confirmed it by voting in Johnson would do anything different this time around. Sure, they’re turkeys voting for Christmas, but they’ve done it twice, why assume they’ll learn the error of their ways?

Sure, but we didn’t go to war with another country, we just stuck a screwdriver in our own ear and kept twisting it.

Boris Johnson (on camera): “there are no cameras here”

Man (pointing) “there’s one right there!”

Lying. It’s like breathing for these assholes.

Isn’t that because at the root of greed is the inability to be satisfied? Why don’t billionaires, when they have literally money beyond avarice, more than they could possibly spend in a thousand lifetimes, just say “nope, I don’t need any more, everything else I earn can go to charity”?

But they don’t. They get richer. And despite the public image of them, they’ll still try and screw the regular workers out of as many toilet breaks as they can get away with in order to maximise how much they earn.

It’s almost beyond evil.

With just a jump to the left…

Proof we need more Brits around here, the answer is clearly “sausages”… 😁
