Re: Facial injuries: Yeah I suffered a brutal wipeout while ski-ing (Beginner on the wrong slope fell in front of me, I went flying head-first into a fence) and got KO-ed, yet all I had to show for it were a couple of TINY black eyes - I didn’t even win Bruise-of-the-week. But when I got back to the UK I had the worst…
From a ‘Devils advocate’ perspective, (and in the interests of provoking a thoughtful discourse, not hate-filled ranting), is it possible that the whole concept of cultural appropriation might be an example of Positive Discrimination?
I don’t understand ANYONE who wears dreads regardless of ethnicity - I couldn’t imagine the nightmare of un-brushed, matted clumps of hair pulling on my (sensitive) scalp. They just make me wince all ‘round. Blonde hair (or other pale colours) look terrible in Dreads too - they just look so dirty! And what is it with…
I need that red dress in my life so badly I might DIE if I don’t have it! The entirety of my first-episode-of-the-season reactions went something along the lines of ‘NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO don’t burn the dress!!!’ and ‘JAAAAAAAAAAMIIEEEEEEEE!!!’ and me hiding my eyes at the re-lived gore, then when they got…
I came down into these comments to say that exact thing. I don’t even watch these shows, nor am I American so this means literally nothing to me, but the look on her face speaks volumes! Love it!
Every time I look at Jaden Smith, I just see Will Smith from the early ‘Fresh Prince’ years. I’m not 100% sure he isn’t a literal clone of his ‘father’....
It’s kinda funny. But spoiled by the fact that logically, Siri doesn’t understand context as well as keywords, so it just picked up the word ‘bridge’. All they’ve done is put a rule in that says ‘when the words X and Y’ appear together in this order or this order or this order, do THIS’. Kinda spoils the humour for me.
Agreed - it’s very sad and very creepy. I think even if they did find the wreckage and even if it were possible to retrieve data from the black box after all this time, I’m not convinced the truth would be released anyway. It’s another one of those mysteries that will go down in history until sometime in the far…
It occurred to me the other day that from a terrorism or suicide perspective, flying a plane into an ocean isn’t exactly much of a statement. There are the usual theories that the whole plane was sacrificed to assassinate someone, but equally there could have been some heroism going on - let’s say, for example, that…
Not helped by the fact the Titanic operators didn’t give their position accurately...
When I go for a piss, I just want a clean stall, plenty of toilet paper and working hand dryers. I also want to be safe from stupid teenagers peeking over the top of cubicles to mock other users, I want to be safe from sexual assault and rape, or even just regular assault - having your pants round your ankles is a…
Even if NERC DO veto ‘Boaty McBoatface’, whatever they do decide to name it will be eclipsed by ‘Boaty McBoatface’ and it will forever after be known as that. So even if they choose something like ‘RRS David Attenborough’ (which WOULD be awesome), it will still be referred to as ‘Boaty McBoatface’ or ‘Boaty…
I have to say I find all that ‘positivity’ stuff horribly saccharin. I can feel my teeth decaying just reading this post with it’s ‘Peace and love’ message. BUT: That text was VICIOUS. Incredibly rage-y and really viscerally nasty.
I DO turn to my Cat in preference to my mobile. My G3 DOES get warm when I play games, but it’s not quite the same as burying my face in a fuzzy kitteh belleh and being comforted by the purring and sharp prick of claws and teeth in my face. I’m really conflicted about this story, because on the one hand, a Mobile…
This sounds like a great non-permanent idea. Tidy too.
Not only that, but if you have stuff on series link that records at odd times of the night, or timer settings you want to preserve, you need to leave the devices on standby.
I know, right? It was the eyebrow quirks. I’m sure of it.
This makes me want to cry.
