She’s a keeper 😍♥️

Main Steam turn on

Kid Starver you say?! Gone Tory-Lite??!!?!!

extremely fake shocked gasp

(Sadly you’re very correct)

Kids round my end learned to kill ON the streets xD

I mean, no, seriously though, when we were 15 there was a lot of youth violence, gang violence on neighborhood streets, heck one of my classmates went to prison for murdering an old woman while he was burglarising her house.

Ahhh … Manchester. Such youthful memories :-/

People didn’t vote to get Labour in, they voted to get the Tories out.

There’s more to why they’re especially disliked now that they’ve been in government for a while but that more or less sums up how they won the election. Or rather, how the Tories handed it to them on a silver platter.

Gaius Baltar needs WHAT?!

That’s depressing, but at least there were people like yourself who understood the backwards injustice of it all.

Some people and places have to be kicked and dragged into the modern day, alas.

Fascinating! Now I want a silk bonnet.

I sleep on my face, if only there were nightwear that kept my face beautiful too xD

I’ve never actually had a chance to celebrate Halloween, as a child in a poor but dignified household my parents didn’t want us going door to door to beg for food (Halloween wasn’t a big thing for them at all when they were young, especially my father who grew up in a rural Catholic village in the 50s so they had no affection for the event, plus we lived in a very dangerous neighborhood growing up).

As a teenager and adult, nobody ever invited me to anything Halloween related, and that continues to this day. I mostly forget Halloween is coming at all, except when the Americans start hammering on about it online for weeks on end haha.

Oh well :-(

I remember us giving Hong Kong to China, and Princess Diana’s horrible death.

As for the picture, I don’t know what county it’s from but it doesn’t look like the British Broadcasting Corporation which would have been the dominant broadcaster of that era, so I wouldn’t know.

Everyone? How else are you going to change gear?

I think a more interesting question would be:

How many people learned to drive in a car with a manual Choke?

What an interesting hat.

I played Stardew Valley and suddenly had the overwhelming urge to kill local shopkeepers.

CoInCiDeNcE?!!?!!!??!(:'&((!:;((6_£";!(&6+:

In a perfect world where nobody doing the hiring was ever even a little subconsciously racist, that would be perfectly reasonable, yeah.

Though that said we end up with a lot of nuance in the real world. Let’s say there’s a traditionally marginalised, opposed racial group. Let’s say times have changed somewhat and people suddenly accept them.

Well, the generational and cultural weight is still going to have a lasting effect even if times have changed, and it may be more difficult for people from that group to afford a good education, good job, good home, etc.

The point being that even if we all stopped being racist today and hired purely based on how good an employee someone will be, we’re likely still unknowingly skewing our decisions based on past social racial issues.

I’m probably not putting it very well but hopefully you get the idea! It’s probably pretty common knowledge anyway I guess haha, seems pretty obvious to me and I don’t even think about this stuff much :-)

Anyway, point is, we do still need to work as a society on ensuring diversity and fairness even when we’re not racist at all - I think the saying might be “Equity over Equality”, or such?

Obviously the USA Government are fascists, so they’re more interested in wiping out groups they don’t like, but they’re just another in a long line of evil governments that will eventually fall, no point thinking too deeply about why they’re being evil. They’ll eventually die off as all fascist regimes do. Hopefully we won’t have to fight a World War against them this time.

How is it legal to basically say “We’ll give you some money if you promise to keep the blacks out of your organisation”

Sounds like something 9 year old me wouldn’t have watched!

Now if we’re talkin Star Trek on BBC2 at 6pm after school with my dindins, oh baby!

A match made in heaven!

Campfire and rain at the same time, baby! Aw yisss

Why wouldn’t we capture him and milk him for his eternal energy forever? We will power grand Gigastructures that dwarf the very stars themselves fueled by his essence! WE WILL TOUCH GOD HIMSELF!

Fuck yeah, LLMs for the LLM god! All hail the hallowed datacenter! Sacrifice the DNS!
