  • Of course many do, but many also don't/can't - I can declare that as an objective fact. Ableism indeed.

  • Racism can include nationalities, as distinct from skin colour/DNA. Maybe there should be a better word for it, but it's that way in the dictionary

  • Not yet, anyway. But once they're in power, they'll be given a lesson on how the big boys want the world to work.

  • You do occasionally see flaccid cocks in media and IRL, but only from guys confident enough to show it in the first place, which skews public perception a fair bit.

    I went to school with a girl who'd only ever seen erections drawn. To her first boyfriend, she said "is that it?" the first time she saw a boner. It was a perfectly average cock, but she'd been expecting something the size of a cucumber

  • I think the full phrase is "size isn't everything, its how you use it" but bro has nothing to use. As disabilities go, its one of the easier ones to have - able bodied and normal-looking with all five senses. It sucks that he misses out on sexual relationships, but so do loads of people with much worse conditions.

  • Oh, it's definitely racist - but what probably matters is "is it cruel or offensive"? If you're all laughing at it, no big deal. If there's a brit there who is cringing or feeling uncomfortable, the right thing to do would be to stop and apologise

  • Either that or... You're a Quizzard, Harry Quizlamic Extremists/Fundamentalists Quiz in my pants

  • Maybe its my age showing, but I've only ever bought one article of clothing online. If I can't try it on before purchase I just wouldn't bother.

    The one exception was a jacket that only sold in the states, a personal recommendation.

  • Yeah, it's the latter for me. Windows adding it to Notepad was the final straw.

  • In the UK in the late 70's they rolled out a scheme where they fitted disabled drivers cars with little flags they could raise if they were in trouble. There were TV campaigns to make people aware - "if you see this flag, the driver needs help".

    Campaign was swiftly abandoned, because enough people saw the flag to mean "I cant defend myself and will be easy to steal from!" that it did more harm than good.

  • the quality and proportions of the meat, egg, shallots, capers, mustard, tabasco and worcester sauce make all the difference. I've had it DIY style, and I've had it pre-made, and one particular time in Bruges it was made to absolute perfection

  • I do love a good Paella; especially seafood with plenty of lemon juice squeezed on.

    A really well made Steak Tartare is great too

  • On Bluesky I'm on a list called "Tankies and their followers"

  • Summary: Police now have to declare if they are or have ever been freemasons to the police. That's it. 400 have done so.

    They'll almost certainly still try and get their masonic chums off with a lighter sentence.

  • Hey guys! We've invented the Dead Person Simulator from that Black Mirror episode "Don't Invent Dead Person Simulators!"

  • This has happened to me on Lemmy and Reddit too. I forget what it was I said - an instance where it seemed to me Russia was technically in the right about something - and there was a big old pile on and many downvotes. I think the assumption was "agree with Russia on anything and you're wrong about everything"

  • Boris

    Jump
  • Yeah. Even if it turns out everything was consensual, he's still a wrongun. Pratchett apparently said privately he wished he'd never had anything to do with him.

    Oh yeah, and a bunch of his characters were plagiarised too - Sandman was apparently a ripoff of some penniless authors work and he never gave her a shoutout despite her practically begging. Also he's not paid people for work they've done for him, but I forget the details. I think that was more a misunderstanding (he thought they were just doing him a favour as friends)

  • This is Facebook, Twitter, Amazon, Google/YouTube, Netflix, iTunes, Adobe (someone carry on the list for me)

  • Could someone explain the joke to me?
