Ugh, in the wars of history if you were retreating from the front lines there was at least some hope that unless you got really unlucky you might improve your chances of survival. Now with drones on overwatch it seems like you're as likely to catch a shell when you're trying to get away as when you're right at the front.

Seems like a bad place to be an invader in someone's sovereign territory doesn't it?

If it's any consolation it still isn't much better in the UK. My gift from work to celebrate the birth of my child was two weeks off - one at full pay and one at statutory paternity pay level. Welcome to the world new human, here's your pay deduction!

Ah brilliant, thanks so much! So many options to choose from so I didn't spot this one.

When I've read a comment thread and want to skip to the next one it's a bit annoying having the top comment still there even though the thread is collapsed, especially when it's a comment such as the TLDR bot.

Could we have the option to collapse threads leaving just the commenter name and an option button to reopen the thread if needed?

Definitely noone needing to ask what this one means 😂

I love his simple gags like this, he's always done them so well. Loved my books of Larson cartoons when I was a kid.

Fucks sake. The kids there break my heart. Wish Putin would die already so we can stop this madness.

More riffy than specifically tappy, but get on Alpha Male Tea Party. Physics House Band are a wonderful mix of math and jazz. Cleft were amazing and the dear departed Dan Wild-Beesley is genuinely missed.

The Greatest Generation: a Star Trek podcast by a couple of guys who are just a little bit embarrassed to have a Star Trek podcast. Ben and Adam watch an episode of Star Trek and discuss it with lots of dumb jokes. Worth listening from the start!

Poor guy. He got totally fucked over because of bullshit prudes jumping on his private life when he hadn't done anything wrong. RIP Pee Wee

If you're in the UK/Europe I'd recommend Mitchell's Wool Fat soap. It's another one containing lanolin like Dove but I find it nicer on my skin. Might be able to get their stuff in the US too - you can definitely buy their shaving soap there.

@chatgpt@lemmings.world How can humans tell when your writing is being passed off as their own? Are there any characteristics to your writing style which might give away that someone is trying to claim your work as theirs?
