  • Yup. Same in the UK with Boris fucking Johnson. COVID would be difficult for a competent and caring government yet it was a perfect set of circumstances for a clusterfuck when governments opted for populism instead.

  • I couldn't. I have a chronic disease, I absolutely need a job to be able to work with me on that. For example I've had a bad flare up for 2 months and it's been so bad I haven't been able to eat or maintain basic hygiene plus I haven't been able to leave the house. I'm now in hospital for help with it and I could be here a while. No amount of money will compensate for those needs I have.

  • Ding ding. Most of my early childhood memories are video tapes, Compaq PC that was a big brick, playing PC games with a joystick, a mega drive, a PS1, family trips/holidays in the car. My family did not have a lot of money so everything I grew up with to say when I was 10 was older stuff. I got a CRT for my room from my great aunt that I thought was the shit when I was about 7-9 and that was only really when thinner TV's were becoming a thing. It always amuses me that people want to label me a millennial when I didn't actually turn 18 at the millennial, I remember 90's kid stuff because I grew up with a Gameboy and Pokémon, I grew up watching Saturday morning cartoons in the UK. I don't relate much to gen z because the younger end speaks a completely different language to me.

  • I was born in October 96 so gen z and I grew up with a mega drive and PS1 so scart cables were very familiar. The only TV we had for years was a CRT so I was more than familiar with red yellow and white connectors into the back as well.

  • Demi Lovato was 17 when a 29 year old man groomed her into a relationship. If your stance is 17 was "fair game" for a 29 year old. Then you're excusing 17 year olds being fucked by middle aged men and older. Wake the fuck up, they weren't anywhere close in age. I'm in the UK too and I'd be fucking furious if some near 30 year old was after my daughter.

  • She still made a song about it and how inappropriate it was. The song is called 29. Lyrics are:

    Petal on the vine, too young to drink wine

    Just five years a bleeder, student and a teacher

    Far from Innocent, what the fucks consent?

    Numbers told you not to, but that didn't stop you.

    You're fucking crazy if you actually listen to her song and her words on what happened and Believe everything there was fucking honky dory.

  • WII

    Jump
  • I loved the Wii as a kid. Mario Galaxy, super paper Mario, Twilight princess, Mario kart, smash bros and epic Mickey were all games that left big impressions on me. I haven't felt the same glee with the switch and it's games as I did with the games on the Wii, not that I haven't enjoyed Xenoblade 3, Odyssey or breath of the wild but they haven't left as big a mark for me.

  • I used to see it all the time when I read unofficial transliterations of manga and the translator tried to make the pun work, they'd include a note explaining the joke. Personally I prefer localisation which keeps the spirit of what was meant but the text/lines flows in a much more natural way to a native English speaker.
