  • Bad luck on Friday 13th... 😱

  • How to react if a person calls you "degenerate"

    Jump

  • Yeah, I've never heard of it being used to target people with disabilities (although looking it up, I see it can be used that way, TIL) - I've only ever thought of it as a judgement on character/behaviour. Like I'd have no issue with anyone describing Trump as a degenerate, because he's a sick, twisted, vindictive, corrupt prick.

  • Laundromat. El Salvador.

    Jump

  • Plus, if you were kneeling down, doing your laundry, a mat would be quite handy 👍

  • I'd like to ask everyone, which movie have you rewatched more than three times?

    Jump

  • I really must try and see more animé. Other than Akira, I think I've only seen Ghost in the Shell (once), a bit of Neon Genesis Evangelion (which I wasn't in the right head space to stick with for long), and a few Ghibli movies (Spirited Away, Totoro, and one other that I can't recall).

    Jump

  • Far too many to name, so here's the first 10 that come to mind:

    • Ghostbusters
    • Star Wars
    • Goodfellas
    • Aliens
    • Clue
    • Back to the Future
    • Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me
    • Akira
    • His Girl Friday
    • Escape to Victory

  • Arrgh, what a cliffhanger! Damn you, Watterson!!

  • What band/artist have you seen live more than once, would gladly go see again, and what keeps you coming back?

    Jump

  • Ha - well, I think so, anyway. Personal taste of course. I might have loved the show you didn't, impossible to tell 😁

  • What band/artist have you seen live more than once, would gladly go see again, and what keeps you coming back?

    Jump

  • Oh wow - I'm kind of jealous, even if it was a bad show. I'd love to have seen them in their early days!

    Jump

  • R.E.M. (3 times)Beastie Boys (2 times)Prodigy (2 times, and going again later this year)David Byrne (1 time, but seeing him again in July!)Puressence (2 times)

  • What's the best thing made from potatoes?

    Jump

  • Ideally doused in salt and vinegar and consumed while walking along a seafront promenade.

  • How come planets move around in a circle for left to right or whatever? Why not a up and down circle like a target logo? I can explain further. thanks ahead of time.

  • What's your addiction?

    Jump

  • Only a few examples of that so far, but I fear there are more coming!

  • What's your addiction?

    Jump

  • Buying records, and also browsing Discogs adding records to my cart before not actually buying them.

  • How long do you think it will be until Chrome/Google for all intents and purposes removes basic copy paste functionality on webpages?

    Jump

  • At most they could maybe remove it for Chrome users. But unless Google is going to start editing 3rd party websites, I don't see how they could remove copy/paste entirely.

    More to the point, why would they?

  • They confirm life after death is real and you'll see your friends and family that have passed, what do you do?

    Jump

  • I think this is the exact plot of The Discovery on Netflix. In the film, it leads to a lot of suicide.

  • What video game did you not expect to like as much as you did?

    Jump

  • This is the one I was going to say - I got it second hand somewhere, on a whim because I had a voucher to spend. Had never even heard of it before, but boy oh boy, what an amazing decision that turned out to be!

  • What are some hugely important music albums?

    Jump

  • I almost picked Pet Sounds myself! Such an incredible album, so much invention and depth ❤️

  • UK regime joins the unprovoked war of aggression against Iran

    Jump

  • As far as I know, American planes didn't even get to take off from any UK bases.

    And now they are to be allowed to do that. FFS.

    BBC News - UK will allow US to use bases to strike Iranian missile sites, PM says https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cqj9g11p1ezo

  • UK regime joins the unprovoked war of aggression against Iran

    Jump

  • Ok, but other than just making assumptions, we have no evidence that the UK did even that here.

    My main point is that OP seems to think that trying defend troops already stationed in the region (whether they should be there or not) counts as being part of this attack. Which it really doesn't. As far as I know, American planes didn't even get to take off from any UK bases.

    The UK government/military has done plenty of heinous shit over the years, not least Iraq. I'm not pretending otherwise - but on this one, so far, it doesn't seem like they've really done anything.

    They haven't condemned it either, of course, but from what we know so far, it's simply factually incorrect to say the UK joined in on this particular attack.

    I think defense is part of offense

    It certainly can be. But it can also just be defence - if they're sitting there with Iranian missiles heading at them, it's hardly surprising or unreasonable for them to try and intercept and prevent.
