This is why I read genre fiction rather than literary fiction. Sure, you and your book club can look down on me but until you’re reading a book that isn’t a variation on a theme of “unsuccessful professional moves back to coastal small town to look after their mother who has dementia”, yous can all get to fuck.
A captain planet meme? Wow that takes me back.
That’s why they’re so angry
Two separate pizzas for breakfast and lunch, got it.
Only mildly relevant to the topic but I saw him in this and he was awesome, a really amazing actor. The rest of the cast were good but he was a cut above.
I like the way there’s a police car there, in case people were thinking they might just go for it anyway
I think it was done with the very best of intentions, what it taught me is that you should either just go ahead and give up your seat or hang on to it, it’s the asking that makes things worse.
London transport introduced the little “baby on board” badges shortly after this, which simplified matters hugely.
I was on a packed commuter train once and in the silence this conversation happened
Seated guy (loudly): Are you pregnant?
Standing woman: Sorry?
Sg: I said are you pregnant?
Sw: No
Sg: Oh okay
The second hand cringey embarrassment of that interaction has stayed with me for about 25 years
Socialised private transport? Call it a car club and it’s private enterprise and therefore okay, like Zipcar here in the UK!
At this point why even have your own car? A pool of cars that can come and pick you up when you need it would be more efficient and allow the cost to be shared widely across a group
Is this the plot of Snow Crash?
I’ve been here since the API changes at Reddit and the sub blackouts that followed, and I think it’s becoming more interesting all the time. Back in the early days there was no point in refreshing the /all feed more than once every 4 hours as it just wouldn’t have changed, now it’s much more than that. The number of posts with actual discussions are increasing, and other than a few blocked users, communities and one instance, I like the people I’m sharing space with.
I thought Killgrave was extra disturbing because you know that’s exactly how someone with that power would become.
I see a lot of duck duck go responses in this thread, my understanding was that ddg is just front ending bing search, it’s not a native search itself. Is that right? Is the same true of any of the other ones mentioned here?
“high speed dubbing” and other lost technologies
Trying to tape a song off the radio without getting too much of the DJ’s voice…
Find out if you’re going to be “raisin” some little’uns
Solving things that were never really problems whilst ignoring a heap of social injustice across the country? Yup, that sounds like the Tories.
Go on a plane, gender neutral toilets. On a train? Same thing. Most cafes like Pret or Nero have a single toilet that everyone uses without issue. What on earth are they solving here?
Dinosaurs existed on the other side of the galaxy!
As in, it was so long ago that Earth has done half of a great cycle since then.
