Rule 34. I’m sure someone’s on it.

Still better than the Cass Review.
- Comment on Don't throw away your old PC—it makes a better NAS than anything you can buy 3 days ago:
In the UK the calculus is quite different, as it’s £0.25/kWh or over double the cost.
Also, an empty Synology 4-bay NAS can be gotten for like £200 second hand. Good enough if you don’t need much performance. Mine draws about 10W compared to an old Optiplex that draws around 60W.
With that math using the NAS saves you 1.25 pence per hour. Therefore the NAS pays for itself in around about 2 years.

I found the meme conversation
- Comment on Had to look this up 2 weeks ago:
Well, there’s stuff like how the book insists that most house elves are happy being slaves, Dobby was the exception. And how it makes fun of Hermione for trying to free them.
If you want a full analysis, Sean did a good one.

Like a lot of the worst stuff in the book, it didn’t make it into the movies I think.
- Comment on Had to look this up 2 weeks ago:
Mate, there’s so many weird or disturbing things in the books that didn’t make it into the movies.

Yeah, calling the only black dude Shacklebolt as well. The more you look the worst it gets.
- Comment on "I hope we have an LGBTQ+ president" 2 weeks ago:
Funnily enough we have a similar potential situation in the UK, some people have been pushing for our prime minister (president equivalent) to step down and be replaced by Wes Streeting.
Wes Streeting is a gay man who is currently the Secretary for Health and Social Care, and is widely hated by the LGBTQ community for being transphobic, which is especially bad for someone who has control over trans health care, and has been effectively making it worse.

I have been calling them “the genital inspectors” for the past year. That’s ultimately it. They obsess over other people’s junk.
Wouldn’t want those kinds of people near schools.

All I can think of when I hear “testosterone cinematic universe” is a crossover of all trans men characters uniting like the avengers.
Sadly I can’t really think of any, which is telling for lack of representation.

How dare you. Some kids mistakenly believe in Jesus and God too.

More proof that the current “Labour” government is in the pockets of rich companies and not on the side of consumers.

I stand corrected. Not sure where I got the impression then. False memories.

I have a PC USB Blu-ray drive, and bought a backup one last year just in case this one dies.

Backing up Blu-rays and watching them on your device.
Unlike with music, you can’t buy DRM-free Blu-ray quality movies outside of Blu-ray. If you stream a show or movie, even if you have “bought”, you don’t own it.

I swear October is not a thing in Middle-Earth, they have different month names or something. He did say that in the movie though.
