  I daresay there’s a few people out there who might enjoy going into the sewers to manually remove the fatbergs, but probably not enough.

  And also they both had stupid moustaches.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Palantir’s UK boss criticises ‘ideological’ groups as ministers move to scrap NHS contract⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  There is no such thing as a non-ideological political decision, and the only people who think there is are the people who have been so thoroughly indoctrinated in the prevailing ideology that they are incapable of seeing it as anything other than “common sense”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Palantir’s UK boss criticises ‘ideological’ groups as ministers move to scrap NHS contract⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Rivers of blood was Enoch Powell, a Conservative (plus ça change). Oswald Mosley was the leader of the British Union of Fascists.

  Is this Lemmy’s “the cylinder must remain unharmed”?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nutritional Hexes⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  When I read “nutritional hexes” I assumed this would be honeycomb related.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨cool⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yikes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨An old excuse⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Have you heard of the doctrine of universal reconciliation?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨K.I.S.S.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The third one was mostly ruined by the fact that Sofia Coppola couldn’t act. The scenes between her and Andy Garcia were verging on painful to watch. But yes, the bits of the film that were about Michael were good, actually.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tune a fish⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  One makes hideous sounds when I try to play it as a musical instrument, and the other I can play reasonably competently.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A succulent meal⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The branding of ploughman’s lunch was invented in the 60s but that same Wikipedia page states it had been a common meal for rural labourers for centuries.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You are allowed flavor⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Come on now, OP. What ever other criticism you may level at that sandwich, you can’t say that cheese and raw onion is lacking in flavour.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon discusses cinema.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Lol, I guess I should have expected that response. 🤦‍♀️

  I ask because I feel like your characterisation of The Shawshank Redemption could equally apply to The Godfather (if you replace good guy with protagonist) and I think they are equivalently great films. It’s just that one film is about how a normal (presumably innocent) man descends into evil and cruelty due to his circumstances and unfortunate events, the other is about a man who maintains his inner light despite his circumstances and unfortunate events. While you may or may not find one more compelling than the other, I think they are both equally special in their way.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon discusses cinema.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  How do you feel about The Godfather, if I may ask?

  Is Thunderf00t still going? I can’t wait to hear his take on this.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Our lord and savior⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  He looks upset. I’m sure a Baby Ruth would cheer him up.

  No one can say this isn’t the place for it.

  You forgot “fuckin’ magnets”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anyone in tech confirm?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I have worked in tech since 2011 and I’m definitely looking for a way out. Don’t think I’m cut out for farming though.

  Nah, you’re thinking of Switzerland.

  That’s not full circle, that’s half a circle.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨‘It’s about redemption’: Peter Molyneux says Masters of Albion will make up for decades of ‘overpromising on things’⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Scamming a bunch of NFT idiots is an arguably better funding model than promising a bunch of stuff to Kickstarter backers that you aren’t going to deliver on.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I approve⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You pronounce those differently?
