They have actually done some decent shit, but they’re doing an awful job of getting the word out 😬
- Comment on What went wrong with Pizza Hut? 2 days ago:
Chris, 36, and Joanne, 29 say they used to go to Pizza Hut for a date “every now and then”, but now they order in a Domino’s and think Pizza Hut is “very overpriced”.
Unless things have very seriously changed in the last year or two, that sounds like bullshit. Domino’s is crazy expensive. Pizza Hut is just “kinda expensive”.

- Comment on Towns may have to be abandoned due to floods with millions more homes in Great Britain at risk 2 weeks ago:
Will they be abandoned, though, or will they just become slums where the people who are too poor to move to the non-floody areas have to live? 😬

Yeah. In Tomb Raider 2013 she goes from crying about killing a deer, to wiping out hundreds of people with families, in the space of about an hour. 😬

- Comment on Why do people call it “woke”? 5 weeks ago:
It’s from African-American English, from the 1930s! And it’s always had more or less the same meaning – originally “being awake to (aware of) racial discrimination”, but now it’s obviously grown to cover discrimination and inequalities in general.
Would that imply that things that are not “woke” or are “anti-woke” are “asleep”?
Yep! 👍 But don’t forget, these people are also against Antifa, i.e. “anti anti-fascist”. They don’t care how bad the labels sound, as long as they’re making people’s lives miserable.
- Comment on Britain’s Biggest Far-Right Protest: More than 100,000 attend Tommy Robinson’s Unite The Kingdom Rally 1 month ago:
I don’t think it should be called a “protest” when it’s, like, “protesting against certain subsets of humanity existing”.
Kinda feels like a totally different thing.

- Comment on BBC under fresh pressure over extent of Reform UK coverage 1 month ago:
In January 2006, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) changed the classification of the licence fee from a service charge to a tax. Explaining the change, the ONS said: “in line with the definition of a tax, the licence fee is a compulsory payment which is not paid solely for access to BBC services. A licence is required to receive ITV, Channel 4, Channel 5, satellite, or cable”. A briefing paper from the House of Commons Library described the licence fee as a hypothecated tax (i.e. one raised for a particular defined purpose).

- Comment on Nintendo’s Switch Mario Galaxy collection will retail for $70 1 month ago:
Any why wouldn’t you? Resolution and framerate are the same either way… and I think you can even play with a real Wiimote on Dolphin, instead of the shitty Joy-Con motion controls?
So it’s basically $70 for… what? New pages in Rosalina’s storybook? Lmao no thanks.
Nintendo’s greed is staggering, this generation. I couldn’t believe they announced the Pokémon Legends DLC before the game is even out. “I know you haven’t given us your money yet, but… please can we have some more? 🥺”

(And thanks, I’ll look into your recs too, I’m always looking for more stuff like this)

They also dropped their plans for new anti ultra-processed food guidance, because Coca Cola and Nestlé told them to. 😬
“Please do also let us know as soon as possible when you have clarified next steps for removing the reference to ‘minimally processed’ from the promotions guidance – as mentioned on the call, this is a particularly contentious issue for our members.”
It’s corruption all the way down.

I’m intrigued to see whether they’ll try to rework any of the more ‘problematic’ stuff, now that Katsura Hashino (P3–P5 director) has left. Or go for a truer-to-the-Japanese-version Teddy this time.

Very pleased, but very worried this is another weapon in Farage’s bum-bag of horrors.
It’s not like “the elites have undone Brexit!” has to be true to be effective. It just has to activate the braindead “i just want are sovrinty back” subset of voters who fucked us all over in the first place. 😬
