people only have a right to exist as long as they’re useful to society in one way or another
Capitalism, you say? :-D
- Comment on 16 minutes of HyTale gameplay 19 hours ago:
Look up the news from the past day or 2, it’s actually much more interesting than that!
The original founder (well, one of them) got the studio devs back together and bought the game back off the people he sold it to who had canned it, and now they’re back developing it.
Side note Vintage Story is rad :-D

Yeah, I’ll never be able to afford any of that stuff, no point me even looking at it sadly.
It’s for middle class people who have piles of cash to burn :-(
- Comment on You live in Clown World when guys are using bathroom hand dryers 1 week ago:
…Guys in your country don’t use bathroom hand dryers?
Do they just… walk out of the room with wet hands? O_o
The worst part is the queue because there’s always like, one hand dryer, and you feel bad for making people wait while you dry your hands properly.
- Comment on NHS staff who visit patients at home say St George’s flags can mean ‘no-go zones’ 1 week ago:
Yes, but the thing is, people just don’t fly it here for no reason.
Unlike the USA, where it was so ridiculous that I played a game with myself called “Turn around and there’ll always be a flag somewhere in front of me” (it really is that insane, their level of nationalism/exceptionalism disguised as patriotism is wild),
…here the flag may be flown for patriotic events (e.g. World Cup), or flown by official institutions, but 99.99% of regular people would never consider flying it for any other reason, and it’s very rarely seen overall. This is normal.
National flags are generally meant to indicate nationality outside of one’s own borders to others around you (e.g. an embassy in a foreign land, or ships at sea). They’re not at all useful on home soil, so why bother flying one?
So, yes, it’s our flag (though not the version people fly that says ENGLAND in big letters in the middle - that’s just stupid). But the people that fly it are almost always bigots and weirdos that you want to stay away from, especially these days.

- Comment on What's your answer? And in the picture which news story is being reported? 2 weeks ago:
I remember us giving Hong Kong to China, and Princess Diana’s horrible death.
As for the picture, I don’t know what county it’s from but it doesn’t look like the British Broadcasting Corporation which would have been the dominant broadcaster of that era, so I wouldn’t know.

Everyone? How else are you going to change gear?
I think a more interesting question would be:
How many people learned to drive in a car with a manual Choke?

Oooohhh I was getting mixed up with the Johnny Cash track “I hear the train a comin”.
I don’t know what Frasier is though, we don’t have that here in the UK.
Now if you’ll excuse me I need to pull my Cash LPs out suddenly and do nothing for the next hour

Hah, your powers of deduction won’t work on me! For I am young, and not even from the same continent as the USA so Tang never existed here!
But I know the link between NASA and Tang because I’m a NERD! MUHAHAHAHA (It wasn’t ever actually Tang that flew but rather a NASA concoction, but boy is it good advertising!)
One particular astronaut was once caught on a hot mic complaining that he was extremely sick and tired of drinking the juice they provided and made them drink in significant quantities during the flight… I’ll leave you to go look the details of what he said and why they insisted they drink so much of it, because I want you to get sucked in to Apollo history too 😈

I don’t think being against Nazis is political, especially given that everybody in politics is united against Nazis. You’d have to be actually evil to be on their side.
I think it’s a moral thing. We may dislike a political opponent or party based on their policies, but Nazis were completely morally bankrupt, evil people.
For example, we make fun of Nazis in all sorts of media, TV, movies etc, when those same productions would never touch actual politics.
Being against Nazis unites us all, beyond politics 👫❤️
