For a country whose average elevation is almost identical to the Netherlands, you'd think they'd be more serious about climate change.
After all, the shareholders stand to lose out when millions of hectares of real estate start being swallowed up by big blue

P.S. very good write-up comrade; I enjoyed many a hearty chuckle lenin-laugh

Been seeing voxpop clips of reform voters - they have no idea what they're actually voting for 100% of the time, and have circled around reform like flies on shit simply because they've been led to believe that this tiny isle is just too small for all the immigrants.
Doesn't matter that we are a net-import economy that would depend either on degrowth (muh treets!) or increasing immigration, building more houses and actually bothering to integrate immigrant communities

that the nazis in the diary were upset that they were being kept awake at night by the cries of starving Jewish children

I read about the Einsatzgruppen - first wave mass-murder squads that the nazis deployed as they pushed east & west, often rounding up anyone deemed undesirable in any village they came across and shooting them in a field.
This system of serial extermination was found to be inefficient, due to the fact that the goons doing it were getting traumatised by having to personally execute thousands of people. It's part of what led to the gas chambers - a method of killing removed enough from personal involvement that nobody feels (as much) guilt.
Impersonal, remote airstrikes - especially via drones - are a normalised modern day incarnation of the same idea.

it's like the modeler placed the white hair and halfway through forgot they were working on raiden and made geralt instead

on pretty much every game's announcement posts there's hundreds of comments seemingly just ragebaiting from both sides of an issue; e.g. "dear devs, please put in lgbtq+ content!" or "dear devs, please do not succumb to woke mind virus and remove all lgbtq+ content!"
it's dumb, but also difficult to tell what's in bad faith and what's just irony poisoned meme pasta

any time someone promotes manufacturing consent on social media i feel obliged to comment "the poor man's inventing reality"

given that the whole historical mechanic is really just a VR experience of "genetic memories" run by an evil corporation (Abstergo) it stands to reason they would selectively edit certain aspects of history to suit their purposes
(just to play devil's advocate for the writers, heh)

also 31, one of my premolars cracked clean in half a few months back resulting in my first visit to a dentist in about 20 years lol.
none of the NHS dentists around me would even entertain the notion of an emergency appointment due to not being an existing patient so had to go private - did manage to find somewhere friendly and reasonably priced bean

that was my first port of call but the bank said because it's still a pending charge I needed to contact the merchant to cancel it.
I managed to get amazon to escalate it to their gift cards escalation team who apparently will contact me in 48 hours.
If that fails, by that time the charge will have left my account and i'll be able to dispute it with my bank stalin-approval

Woke up this morning to 4000 spam emails and that someone had bought and redeemed a £100 amazon gift card on my account.
The annoying part is that I recently had some of my gaming accounts hacked so I'd already changed all of my passwords.
I've had 2FA on everything since forever, but apparently it's all just security theatre 'cause it seems there was no obstacle to them doing this.
Guess I'll try getting amazon to reimburse it but I have terrible luck

edit: amazon said fuck no lol agony
edit 2: I've been refunded success
