Hi there!
- Comment on Plex now will SELL your personal data 5 days ago:
My TV doesn’t have a Jellyfin app, only a Plex app. I’m not buying a new TV just to use my preferred media server, sadly :-(

Damn, he’s Disabled and Disfigured now?
…What was he doing?
- Comment on YSK some cities in the US are starting to build an affordable community built wifi network that goes around big telecom companies 1 week ago:
Okay, going off the title to start with you’re building a WiFi network, that’s very cool, but will you connect it to the Internet too?
That’d be more of a headline if so, then just building a WiFi network.

Damn,…you get responses?

- Comment on Is it normal for people to ask where you are from online? 2 weeks ago:
Hmm, can real users be tagged as bots? Surely they’d complain and have it fixed quite quickly?
I saw this bot reply and just instinctively downvoted and blocked it, can’t stand Reddit/Lemmy bots that don’t serve a useful purpose (like unit conversion or haiku’s) haha.
- Comment on Is it normal for people to ask where you are from online? 2 weeks ago:
Yeah it’s normal, it’s one of the first things I ask or get asked when I meet new people online.
It’s cool to meet new people from all around the world, so knowing where someone’s from is really interesting and gives people stuff to talk about too!
Plus, it’s very helpful, because once you know where someone’s from you know their timezone, what sort of weather they deal with, you might have some insight into their culture etc to better ensure you don’t offend them, or maybe you’ve visited or love something about their country so again you now have new things to talk about :-D
Anyway yeah, similarly with wanting to know someone’s age, location is often one of the first questions we as strangers ask each other in online conversation.
Age is also super useful to know, are we talking to a 12 year old? A 20 year old? A 60 year old? Knowing their age will better inform us of how to have a positive and respectful conversation, it’ll inform us of what part of their life there in and thus we can take guesses to their generational cultural norms and interests, if they’re likely to have a career, or be married, or if they’re likely still in education studying for their masters, etc etc.
You don’t need to know an EXACT age, just as you don’t need to know an EXACT location, but “I’m in my 20s from England” is a more than appropriate response :-)
Bottom line: Always trust your gut if someone seems weird online, but don’t assume they’re weird just because they want to know some basic details like A/S/L 👍
- Comment on Prices are out of control 3 weeks ago:
I dunno, that looks like the USA and their butter sucks, man. It’s not even yellow, and they sell it in “sticks”. I was so glad to find Kerrygold there.
That’s decent stuff that I use on the regular.

The electric car revolution is over.
Ah yes, I forgot that the USA is the only country in the world, my mistake.

Why would they want to “influence elections”?
Sounds shady.
- Comment on Choose a number, 1-5! 5 weeks ago:
Hard to say. It’s 1 or 3.
2 has an annoying bulbous handle that upsets the balance, 5 is an utter nightmare of awful.
- Comment on What's the next stop on the authoritarianism express? 5 weeks ago:
To answer your question:
www.bbc.com/news/articles/c9qwez9zz7jo
The Insurrection Act of 1807 allows the president to use active-duty military personnel to perform law-enforcement duties inside the US.
Once invoked, troops could be tasked with a range of duties, from quelling civil unrest and enforcing court orders to arresting and detaining migrants.
Because the Insurrection Act was written in broad terms, with little specific guidance on how and when the powers can be used, it gives presidents wide latitude in deciding when to mobilise military personnel for domestic operations.
Time to bring in the army to oppress the citizenry. Hoo rah!

Is this fake, or does this guy fuck his sister?
- Comment on Bethesda Gifts Everybody in the Skyblivion Team a Copy of Oblivion Remastered 1 month ago:
They specifically mention this in the announcement stream and say that stuff is important for the same reason you do, so it’s all still in there, though they say they’ve also recorded new lines too. Will be interesting to hear!
- Comment on Trans women should use toilets based on biological sex, Phillipson says 1 month ago:
When they bury Starmer, do you think they’ll put him next to his beloved Thatcher?
That way we could piss on two graves for the price of one! (all admission fees go to LGBTQ+ charities)
- Comment on Keir Starmer does not believe trans women are women, No 10 says 1 month ago:
Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer does not believe transgender women are women, his official spokesman has said.
Oh damn, this is huge. He’s officially admitting to being a Transphobic Bigot. Literally.
What else in this ballpark would he like to admit to while he’s at it? Maybe he’s a Homophobe too? …What’s his stance on black people?
Also, are transgender men, men? And if so, why is it one rule for women and another for men? Is he sexist too?
On the basis of his admission of being a Bigot I would argue he is unfit to be leader of the Labour Party. I recall a Labour Prime Minister not too long ago getting angry at someone for being a Bigot… how times have changed…

Get yourself a mix bag of Dutch liquorice, with some of the sweet, salty, and bees wax coated stuff. Soooo good, and a proper chew feel too, none of the soft rubbish stuff <3

- Comment on Do you use your blinker in a car? 1 month ago:
Indicators?
Yes, only pillocks don’t use their indicators. They’re an essential method of communication between vehicles and for pedestrians, and an essential safety feature.
I cannot stress this enough, people who don’t use their indicators are massive twats and shouldn’t be on the road.
They’re a danger to themselves and everybody around them.
- Comment on I was a British tourist trying to leave America. Then I was detained, shackled and sent to an immigration detention centre 1 month ago:
By throwing your rubbish in a bin whilst in the USA, you are causing the city to not need to pay a litter picker to collect and throw your rubbish into a bin.
I know I’m just being silly, and I know you’re not wrong, I’m just sayin. There’s a thousand ways one could look at almost any action and suggest ways in which it is “work” if we define it as causing someone else to not have to do a job or get paid for something.
- Comment on I have an announcement. 1 month ago:
Can we live in precedented times please?
Oh, there’s precedent for everything that’s happening right now…
You’re just not going to like it.

- Comment on The world is only about me 2 months ago:
I love how Americans need a literal road blocking bump to hit with their tyres to figure out when to stop (and yet because their cars are gigantic that’s overshooting anyway).
I remember being so confused by the weird concrete stumps for ages when I lived there at first. It’s just not a thing here…
- Comment on Minecraft is getting a visual overhaul you probably don't need because of all of those mods you've got installed 2 months ago:
So long as there’s an option to retain the normal experience, especially for those on older hardware that can’t run fancier stuff. Then it’s all good!
