To add to this, repeats with added sign language were (are?) often broadcast late at night because you were meant to set your video to record them to use as teaching materials. wasn’t just sign language, a lot of the videos shown in school was stuff that had been taped from 3am
Sexuality being normalised isn’t a bad thing but have you seen the state of porn lately? the front page of any given porn tube site is such that you cannot have a wank in peace without seeing abusive ‘taboo’ stuff mostly around incest and women being spat on and strangled. I can’t believe that this is some agenda being pushed, they produce this content according to demand. This is to say nothing of the even darker stuff with revenge porn and trafficked teenagers etc. Porn can be fine if ethically produced, the current state of it is fucked up
shit gimmick
I semi remember an interview with the guy from nickelback who said (obviously paraphrasing) that he studied the songs that reached number one in the rock chart, and noted that, ok they have this tempo, they have a key change here, etc etc, and set out to make a song that had those qualities. very successfully as it turned out.
there’s the same sort of essential cynicism (and subsequent success) with the oatmeal
I agree with the point but it is kind of funny to see the oatmeal, the nickelback of comics, complaining about it
the .jsm extension was made for this
mustard seeds in any tomato sauce based dish. the taste is negligible but they just make it look more tomatoey
disaster capitalists at it again
is this an elaborate joke
agree with this but just to add that the assertion that “what is the eu” was the most googled term is wrong, but slightly less wrong if you refer to a uk source, it’s still not there but “what is brexit” and “what is article 50” did appear in the top tens by region. source: https://www.wired.co.uk/article/top-google-searches-trends-2016-uk
They are not a serious party. They exist to scoop up protest votes from tories, there’s no other point to them

Just because some authorities implement it poorly doesn’t mean it can’t be effective. i just looked up new york rent control and it says
To qualify for rent control, a tenant must have been continuously living in an apartment since July 1, 1971, or be a qualifying family member who succeeded to such tenancy. When vacant, a rent-controlled unit becomes “rent stabilized”, except in buildings with fewer than six units, where it is usually decontrolled. In units within single and two-family homes, the tenant must have resided in the unit continuously since March 31, 1952, to qualify for rent control. Once the unit becomes vacant, it is decontrolled.[4][5] Rent control does not generally apply to units built after 1947. wikipedia
well then what is the fucking point? and rent stabilisation seems no better
This is a pretty good example tbh. consider:
make a twitter account, you can see what’s popular and tweet insults at celebrities
vs
make a mastodon account, you can use fedilabs to allow hashtag-following following the public feed of a remote instance multi-account with cross-account actions
is the other one less touchy?
worse than no-name imo. the kind of name you quickly learn to scroll past in the search results. shit-name
No. Getting off on abuse and degradation is despicable
