  Yeah and the wild thing is that the importance axis is cut-off, by the time it reaches 10+ screens that’s the single most important employee who if they were runover by a bus tomorrow, the company will just randomly implode one day when something only they know how to maintain just falls over and no contractor can untangle the spaghetti infrastructure.

  The thing is, they haven’t had a pay rise since screen 6 but somehow are just unphased even by inflation.

  Yeah I feel like when it comes to summer dress for guys it’s basically the shorts & t-shirt outfit accurately depicted in the meme, topless if you’re got the body/don’t-give-a-fuck, or white cotton shirt and trousers that make you look somewhere between wannabe boyband member and British pink-skinned colonist on a gap year.

  If people have sensible options outside of that (man-kini does not count) please let us know below.

  Not really, the patriarchy mostly worries about “men” socially transitioning to women because that’d undermine core beliefs about men being superior and therefore any one who’d give up these supposed advantages is a threat to the social order and only doing it with bad intentions to assault women or a kink thing they want to take outside the bedroom.

  Why do you think men are socialised to ridicule and ostricise other men who act too effeminate?

  Absolutely, as someone who’s interacted with a fair few squaddies, the portrayal of the soldiers is very accurate.

  It’s also got some fantastic dark humour and one liners in it;

  “They’re not going to fucking fit!”

  And

  “Leave me spoon, I can’t -”

  “No being a hero, you bloody hypocrite!”

  And

  “I hope I give you the shits!”

  If you want a good British horror film:

  Dog Soldiers.

  A cult classic, it’s got Liam Cunningham (Davos Seaworth from Game of Thrones) and Stewart Pertwee (Alfred in Gotham).

  I would think, given the region’s attitude to LGBTQA+, they’d be incredibly difficult to find.

  However, once you have found them and they are in a space they feel safe to be their full self, you’d have the best Iftar of your life!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨U WOT M8??⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The screen reads “Bluetooth Init…” which is short for “Bluetooth Initialising” i.e. starting up, turning on, setting up.

  “Innit” is a common UK slang term usually associated with chav/roadmen which means “isn’t it”. This is used at the end of a sentence or as an affirmation.

  Example A

  Brit 1: Lovely weather today, innit?

  Brit 2: Yeah mate!

  Example B

  Brit 1: Lovely weather today.

  Brit 2: Innit tho. (Meaning: “Yes, it is.”)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can a reasonable person genuinely believe in ghosts?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Do I believe in ghosts in the literal sense of an actual spirit hanging around in the physical world haunting places and people? No.

  Do I think it’s fascinating to see how the idea of “ghosts” are used in a cultural sense usually representing an individual or group’s desires, thoughts, feelings, etc. after they’ve passed on and usually storytelling around respecting their wishes or finishing what they started so they can finally be “at peace”? Yes.

  I also find it fascinating in a tragic way how people who’ve gone through extreme grief and loss can cling to the idea of ghosts, particularly of loved ones. Perhaps the pyschie doesn’t want to let go of that person so much that it can manifest as audio-visual hallucinations that feel incredibly real to the individual.

  After all, we all perceive the world through our brain: it is the filter for everything.

  I’ve experienced some strange stuff personally, but I don’t think I’ve seen an actual ghost. I remember having a dream about a close relative the night they died suddenly and we all found out in the morning. But that could be my memory post-rationalising something.

  I’ve seen a milk bottle fly out from the back of the fridge but I swear I remember that the fridge wasn’t rocking unstably and that the milk was definitely at the back of the fridge. But I could have seen incorrectly because who pays attention to the precise location of a milk bottle when opening the fridge.

  And I’ve encountered machines that appeared to be haunted. An ex-gf’s iPod classic she kept because it is a time capsule of her music would randomly turn itself on, play 10 seconds of a random song, then turn itself off again.

  I can feel how a ghost story would fit all of these and feel like it would make emotional sense to me. Like there’s some deep part of our evolutionary psychology that supports feeling this way. Why?

  Now in that sense I believe people genuinely experienced “ghosts” that aren’t actually there but are a part of their perceived reality and I find that fascinating.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why I gave up electronics club⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s also useful to think of the “ground” plane as a sort of well of potential charger carriers that the conventional current model overlooks. Aside from simultaneously visualising what’s happening inside simple ICs like BJTs / MOSFETs and the circuit diagrams I’ve found it a useful way for checking for common mode noise in circuit and PCB design.

  I guess this makes me a lunatic? Don’t know until we test it;

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are they different shapes?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Those all sound delicious, I’ll have to give them a try 😋

  Yeah I do and they are sold under that name here in the UK because English will just adopt words from other language or slang terms if they’re used enough. Also in English words for farm animals are Germanic in origin and words for the meat of those same animals are Norman (northern France) in origin because after the Norman Conquest in 1066, the nobility were all Norman French and were the ones to refer to cuts of meat whereas the peasantry didn’t eat the meat of the farm animals.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are they different shapes?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  So here in the UK they sell these fresh in Lidl: a cheap supermarket but it has an amazing bakery where they make these and other items.

  I often go to Lidl at lunchtime to buy two of these and something simple to fill them with into sandwiches, usually cheese and ham, (insert bland UK food joke here).

  My question for you, in the spirit of international culinary collaboration, what Brazilian fillings would you stuff one of these with to make a great sandwich?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are they different shapes?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I believe those are called Petit Pain.

  Best one is to respond to something they say with “Oh that’s quite interesting” in the flatest tone possible, then move the conversation on to a different topic or exit.

  Works particularly well on Americans because in American English “quite” is an amplifier modifier but their brain will be confused by the flat (not sarcastic) tone.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sweet ancestry⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh yeah that’s a common question about ethnicity usually an optional question filled out in case there’s some legal process in the future trying to determine if there’s underlying discrimination from poor treatment/service to a specific group when a legal complaint has been lodged.

  I’m talking about the weird obsession some Americans have with determining what % of their genes originated from other countries.

  The closest it’s gotten for me is usually a conversation about family history which most of the time is usually “A country on my father’s side and B country on my mother’s side”. But they’ve never broken it down into percentages before like it’s some sort of eugenic recipe.
