Hey this is great! Something about it feels so realistic, ice been to places just like this, feels like I can step back into the picture.

The really annoying thing is that these coatings used to be optional paid extras, and when I got some new lenses for the first time in almost a decade they quickly became blotchy and awful so I went back to get some more but this time with zero coatings.

Specsavers told me that’s wasn’t possible, that ALL lenses have these coatings now, it’s not even optional.

Glasses lenses used to last years and years, now they’re blotchy crap after only 3 or 4 years. Bloody ghets know what they’re doing. And ripping us off while they’re at it with their high prices £££

Wow, this is genuinely gorgeous, love it!

Why would you think it can only be pronounced with an “uh” at the end? Where did that come from?

I could be wrong about how she uses her name of course, but I would pronounce it Cam-ahl-a, nothing the hard a at the end, as in apple.

We don’t say uhpple, we say apple.

Religious extremists that work tirelessly to impose their god’s laws on everybody else.

They’ve actually embedded themselves in US government now, over many years and much effort, and the burning embers of their religious war against the rest of us are finally starting to catch fire in a big way.

They recently took away a person’s right to an abortion. Madness, I know. What will they take away next?

Damn, I knew the original term was offensive now and had wondered what they replaced it with, intellectually disabled sounds kinda offensive too xD

Like, it’s not just saying this person has a cognitive disability, but that they’re lower on a class level as well.

I know that’s not the intent and it’s miles better than the old offensive term, but something like “cognitively disabled” sounds much less offensive than “intellectually disabled”. Wish they went with something like that.

I think it’s probably because the term intellectual is used in society to describe a class of people (e.g. “Why yes, I’m an intellectual, I read Yeats while you people read the daily rag”) who tend to think of themselves as better or smarter than others…

So, calling someone “intellectually disabled” sounds like it’s an insult someone from that class would use on someone they wanted to look down on, you know?

I’m glad they moved away from other misused medical terms, but yeah, pity they settled on a term that sounds like it’s throwing shade ><

Even beyond renting, installing a wifi camera is SO much cheaper than running Ethernet all over your house. And if you need it run through an external wall? Even more money.

A bit of plastic trunking, an ethernet cable, and a long masonry bit for your hammer drill to get through the brick wall, oh and a little sealant, not that expensive, I believe in you!

…yes? Has been for years. Everybody knows.

Google maps it extremely obvious, if not always outright explicit in each result.

Vance is a cuck.

Politics aside, are we shaming people for their sexual kinks now, if they’re not harming anybody?

You’re probably being downvoted not because you’re technically wrong, he’s said all those things after all, but because you’re making your comparison in bad faith, and thus your point doesn’t stand.

He said all those things because he’s very old and unfortunately showing some senility that comes with the territory of being so close to the end of life.

Whereas this post is discussing official, vetted and correct remarks. An entirely different kettle of fish, as you well know.

Just going from the headline, I assumed the “Heritage Foundation” was a non profit that worked to preserve our civilisation’s historic buildings, locations, works of art and culture.

Turns out they’re just bigoted fascists, I guess? Huh.

A lot of those over in the USA at the moment. I mean, we have our fair share in Europe too, but ya know, it feels like it’s reaching a tipping point in the USA where fascists have by now infiltrated everything at all levels… :-/

Assuming the drive spins back up after being left in a cupboard for 15 years, if you’re still even able to find a computer compatible with whatever cables it used back then. But yeah.

I use archival blurays for cheap, deep storage for decade plus usage, not something I’d trust to flash memory or even a hard drive. Tape is an option of course but that’s pricey.

Uh oh, are the tofu eating wokerati in the room with us right now?!

Their secret global government is going to increase levels of LGBTQ in the water by 7% over the next five years, something must be done!

Nothing we can do about idiots that believe everything they’re told. I doubt their government actually stated that these economic sanctions would bring Russia to its knees, that was probably sensationalist media reporting that the gullible in the general populace ate up without using a brain cell to consider the matter.

The sanctions are mostly doing their job, Russia’s economy is being kept at this level thanks to decisions that help in the short term but will have disastrous consequences long term.

Anything can happen of course, but as things stand unless they’re bailed out in a big way in the long term by becoming an economic vassal of say, China, they’ve got big problems on the horizon. Thanks in great part to the sanctions of the USA and of course ourselves in Europe.

Don’t worry, Starmer’s already onboard as number 2 in that list!

That assumes you live in one of a small number of countries for which politics significantly shifted after one of those countries was attacked.

And also that you’re at least old enough to have had a reasonable mature understanding of the political landscape before 2001, so as to appreciate how things changed. Let’s assume that’d make you at least 20.

…So, we have to be at least 43 years old, and American, or you’ll assume we’re children?

That’s very illegal in the UK and EU, oh my.

Why would anyone pay for viewing a website?

Or to put it another way,

Why would anyone pay for using a service that costs money to provide?

… You don’t iron your clothes?

Do you just go places looking like you just got dragged through a bush backwards?
