Fair enough. I just don’t care enough about Jaguar to look this shit up tbh
- Comment on You know what, fuck you [un-Jags uar icon] 4 weeks ago:
A design consultant probably sent Jaguar a six-figure bill for this new logo, you know.
- Comment on You know what, fuck you [un-Jags uar icon] 4 weeks ago:
But it’s the first time they’ve made a change as drastic as this. I can recognise any Jaguar car out there even if I know fuck all about their cars because I can see the jaguar design on the car.
Now people will have to squint to make out the word JAGUAR in that shitty font? Bad move.
- Comment on You know what, fuck you [un-Jags uar icon] 4 weeks ago:
Yeah, for a whole 2 hours, until everyone moves on to bitch about the next thing and then they’re stuck with the shitty logo no-one recognises for long after that.
- Comment on I have been told ever since I was a little shit that when you die you go to heaven first wait in line for St Peter to judge you at the pearly gates? Is this in the Bible? I thought god did judging 5 weeks ago:
I already suspected as much.

It’s because you’ve not stared at the blue glow long enough.

A Jesuit! Oh wait…

I take a selfie when I get the haircut I like and show them the picture next time. Nice and easy.
- Comment on How do people in this day in age become nazis/neonazies sexist or even incels when there is so much knowledge against it? Do they get anything out of being that way? 3 months ago:
I’m not saying a traumatic childhood is a good reason to dismiss someone’s crimes as an adult. Whether you had the best life as a kid or not, hate crimes must be punished all the same.
Our responsibility as a society in all of this should be to give these people the support and education they need before they find it in these cults of hate. This is where we’re failing big time.

What is exactly the bullshit part about what I said? That a bad childhood usually leads to a fucked up adulthood? Because it does. Of course, everyone copes with trauma or a tough childhood differently, and some people do move on to lead surprisingly well adjusted grown-up lives. But for the ones that don’t, having a poor childhood experience is a very common factor.
It took me 2 mins to find this research paper to evidence what I’m saying: …biomedcentral.com/…/s12889-016-2906-3
I could probably find a few dozen more if I spent more time looking.

Being an unloved —or worse, abused— child is quite often the root cause of a vast number of affective and personality disorders people develop later on as an adult.

This makes sense. HOWEVER. That’s not really what’s happening here now, is it?

5 and 8. Imagine being able to spook people out all around the world by making their toaster go off in the middle of the night. Also, speaking in dead languages will make me very interesting at parties.

- Comment on Sigh, this is what browsing the web in the EU looks like nowadays (2021) 1 year ago:
The internet is in a real sorry state nowadays, there’s no denying that. Analytics and marketing have thoroughly trumped functionality and accessibility.
Best way I’ve found to work around all this crap (other than just browse the internet less, depressingly) is through Pi-Hole, uBlock Origin and Privacy Badger installed in every browser. Mobile is trickier but Firefox/Brave mobile get the job done as they do allow plugins so I can run uBlock there too and enable the cookie banner filter.
- Comment on The U.K. Government Is Very Close To Eroding Encryption Worldwide, the EFF says 1 year ago:
What a disgrace. I will definitely be following the EFF’s advice and sending a complaint to the House of Lords to reconsider, for what little difference that could make.
