Italy is incredibly linguistically diverse.

Would you have any recommendations for a split board that’s perhaps a little larger than the Corne? I can’t help but feel it’d be too small for me.
- Comment on Brexit ban on EU ID cards ‘disastrous act of economic self-harm’, says tourism boss 7 months ago:
Come on. Few people are as angry with our society as it stands as I am but the United Kingdom is fit to burst with amazing cultural heritage which we should share with the world (some of it we didn’t even steal!).
Furthermore, for as regressive and bigoted as a lot of our media and politicians are, a very large proportion of British people are tolerant, curious, and kind-hearted.
The United Kingdom is much more than our current and historical governments. If we are ever going to establish ourselves as a force for good in a worsening world, we need people to realize that we genuinely are more than Brexit, Rwanda deals and Partygates.
Getting the Tories under 100 seats at the next GE and encouraging the Labour party to not be afraid of being a tolerant, democratic socialist party are the first steps towards that.
- Comment on UK network operators ask govt to fend off attacks on fiber 8 months ago:
Like all reasonable people interested in linguistics, I’m a descriptivist. However, something about the idea of language being adapted to cater to an algorithm turns my stomach.
I know it’s hypocritical. The Attention Economy shouldn’t be any less valid a linguistic influence than the Norman Conquests, just because they occurred a millennium ago.
I genuinely think we’re lucky in Britain that the soft power we have (for the time being) has prevented our culture being entirely supplanted by the United States.
- Comment on Police officer drags homeless man along ground - BBC News 8 months ago:
"The superintendent responsible for the city centre personally discussed the incident with the officer and made it clear that her actions were unacceptable and must not be repeated.
“She, along with other employees, received refresher training on how to deal with similar situations in the future.”
I have no words.
- Comment on Sunak attacks Starmer on trans rights as Brianna Ghey’s mother visits Parliament 9 months ago:
For Brianna’s mother’s sake, I’m relieved that Sunak used the correct pronouns when he spoke about Brianna at the end. However, what does it say about Sunak and this bullshit, culture war transphobia that he did use the correct pronouns for Brianna?
The whole thrust of the attack was to imply that Starmer doesn’t know what a woman is but then when it’s convenient, Sunak tacitly agrees with Starmer that Brianna was a woman.
I’d almost have more sympathy for Sunak if I thought he was a misinformed transphobe. I resent him more because I don’t believe he genuinely cares, like some do. I have never had any reason to believe he thinks there is any problem with trans people. Yet, he is willing to endanger the lives of these beleaguered, threatened innocent people, for what? For the fucking Conservative and Unionist party. A reprehensible institution that has done infinitely more damage in the real world than any trans person has caused in the most batshit, unhinged nightmares of a Mail Online commenter.

Yet another moment in British politics that has flooded me with anger and upset, followed by despair that there’s nothing I can do to rid us of malevolent, hateful bigots like Rishi Sunak.

Kingdom? Who are the ruling dynasty?

The UK of GN/NB has already annexed Anglesey and given it to Leinster.

Absolutely but it is also far more reliable than however YouTube tracks your progress. A win-win.

Advice for consumption Patrician himself posted on his 24-hr Skyrim analysis:
- Use the YouTube chapters.
- Play it in the background or on a second monitor.
- Don’t rely on YouTube accurately tracking your progress through the vid. Comment a timestamp to use as a bookmark instead.

If you too have an unhealthy relationship with absurdly long video essays, I’d point you in the direction of PatricianTV’s Starfield analysis.
