- Comment on British Airways pulls Louis Theroux podcast sponsorship after Bob Vylan interview 2 weeks ago:
It’s a business: They want to avoid controversy and this musician is controversial.
Sucks, because he is probably right or at least not wrong in his views, but this is the society we’ve all built together.

greentext reads like it was written by that old Chad-PS3 console… not sure famous it was but he referred to wiimotes as dildos
- Comment on Record breaker Starmer is the 'most unpopular PM since polling began' 5 weeks ago:
Admittedly it is a pretty funny nickname but personally I find it amusing because he’s so non-threatening
- Comment on Record breaker Starmer is the 'most unpopular PM since polling began' 1 month ago:
Pretty safe to say he’s over-hated. Even like colleagues of mine whom I suspect do not follow politics closely refer to him as things like “Kier Stalin”.
Maybe I’m old fashioned but a PM is essentially an admin role – why do we expect that they be inspirational too.
- Comment on Lauren Southern accuses Tommy Robinson of lying to protect alleged 'rapist' Andrew Tate 1 month ago:
To be fair, she could have kept quiet about this and avoided another round of people calling her names online, which would have been the easier path. Most people in this thread might know “Robinson” is dodgy but we’re not the target audience.
- Comment on Lauren Southern accuses Tommy Robinson of lying to protect alleged 'rapist' Andrew Tate 1 month ago:
Totally agree with you. I think society/politics has become polarised to the extent that we’ve all grown colder towards perceived “enemies”; at the same time people shouldn’t be victim blamed for abuse, no matter how dumb they are.
Additionally, what we perceive as “dumb” can sometimes be other people struggling with mental illness or disability.

I went to school with Chris Cash. His dad was my family GP and he was my cousin’s first kiss.
His HS yearbook has “most likely to end up in jail” on his entry.

Killzone on PS2 was the first game I played that wasn’t inverted and it took me several hours to figure out why aiming was so hard

If you just imagine that the right stick is their neck you don’t need to postulate a Parasaurolophus horn
- Comment on Who plays like that x_x 1 month ago:
I care more about the vertical inversion than the horizontal one. Not certain why. Have played with horizontal inversion on before and it didn’t bother me much after a minute or two.

Her name is Jeanie though, which I’d pronounce differently to Jenny… unless it’s one of those awful new age spellings of a classic name.
Fwiw Jennifer is a fine name and people can figure out the best way to shorten it for their circumstances. Maybe living in a rural community with a lot of donkeys would affect it.
- Comment on Who plays like that x_x 1 month ago:
Yes, both of those and their sequels - Future Perfect and Perfect Dark - were by far the most played FPS games for me as a kid.
- Comment on Who plays like that x_x 1 month ago:
It’s more like the analogue stick is representing your characters neck. IRL you pull your neck down to look up, and vice versa.

- Comment on Anon has a problem with Bioshock 2 months ago:
People were easier to entertain back in the day. There is also a clear line between Borges and modern short story authors like Ted Chiang who take what he started and develop it further.
- Comment on Anon has a problem with Bioshock 2 months ago:
Yes, I suppose it’s similar to Herman Hesse or maybe Borges… except those two are quite cool
- Comment on Anon has a problem with Bioshock 2 months ago:
Ayn Rand isn’t really studied if you do a philiosophy degree. She’s more on the literature side of “philosophy” as opposed to belonging to the analytic tradition or whatever.

Hope his hand was ok afterwards!
- Comment on JK Rowling slams Graham Linehan’s arrest at Heathrow 2 months ago:
I disagree with a lot of what Linehan says but I didn’t see his tweets as breaching the theshold for inciting violence. I think a threat needs to have the maker/sender of it claim that they, or those close to them, are credibly about to enact the violence.
The tweet I saw, not sure if it’s the one that got him in trouble, was similar to how people put “punch nazis” in their twitter bio. To me, that is non-specific and not a credible threat.
