  • For context in 1525:

    King of England: Henry VIII (with all the wives)

    King of France: Francis I (with all the fighting the Holy Roman Empire and Pope)

    King of Spain: Charles V (with all the being Holy Roman Emperor and inbreeding)

    Emperor of China: Jiajing (with all the torturing and murdering dissenters)

    Edit: I chose these 4 because between them they were monarchs of the 4 most powerful countries in the world at the time, especially Charles of Spain and Jiajing of China but France and England were soon poised to eclipse the others.

  • Most purebreeds are genetic backwaters now with large numbers of congenital defects endemic. Dalmatians being born blind and having seizures being an obvious example.

    Then when you add on the characteristics demanded by kennel club "breed standards" you end up with frankenstein creations not able to support themselves. Daschunds with legs so short their belly is constantly rubbing on the ground and they get infected sores, bloodhounds with such drooping jowels that they get injured, bulldogs that can't support their own weight. Mongrelise your pets!

  • This is the sort of crime that putting people in public stocks should be brought back for.

    Imagine these two pieces of shit locked in a pillory, at the site of the felled tree, while thousands of people queue up to tell them what seawards they are.

  • Factorio. If you enjoyed Satisfactory you should check out the game that created the genre. They have an excellent demo and although it's relatively expensive compared to similar games, it's the best one and runs like an absolute dream even when things get huge where a lot of similar games slow down.

  • As someone who just spent the last 30 years in a huge galaxy spanning war to try and seize Terminal Egress from a 7 strong federation and then had a 10x Unbidden appear in Fen Habbanis that produced 85% of my alloys crippling my ability to fight them off for 20 years. I second this recommendation.

  • I was getting something from the sliding rear door of my van a few weeks ago. Some driver, being courteous in their own mind, bipped the horn while going past startled me causing me to hit my head and fall back into the road being only a fraction of a second from him rolling over my head with his back wheel.

  • Not disagreeing that Linehan has some awful opinions and that has leached out into a couple of his writings. But, the theater episode, at no point, makes the fact that people are gay the butt of the joke it's the main characters that are terrible people in that episode, particularly Roy.

    It's like getting upset that Father Ted is racist for the episode that specifically makes racists the target of the joke.

  • The moral high grounding of liberal minded people is one of the reasons right wing populists are gaining ground globally. Rather than slamming the Guardian for not always aligning 100% with your views, why not see if the content of the actual article is worth your fury.

  • The case is with the Criminal Cases Review Commission and if they find there is significant evidence that an appeal could be granted it will be referred back to the court of appeal, as it should.

    Unqualified, random bloggers online are not capable of assessing the evidence sufficiently and therefore should keep their sensationalised bullshit to themselves.

  • What is the point of having this called Marathon. It has exactly zero in common with the original games. Looks completely different, plays completely different, setting is completely different, storyline seemingly completely irrelevant, plus I'd wager the number of people who fondly remember the original and are also interested in playing a knock off extraction shooter on PS5 is pretty close to zero.
