  • The Breen is something you need the moral support of others to watch. I traumatised a colleague by making him and another friend watch Twisted Pair with me. I watched two Breens alone after that, since the other two refused to watch any more with me, and it was painful.

    “I’m not seeing another psychiatrist. I’m not. I’m not seeing another psychiatrist. I’m not seeing another psychiatrist. I’m not.”

    (Is that lines from a Breen film, or my reaction after watching a Breen film?)

    They maintain the Breen is a troll, but I think he’s got delusions of grandeur and really thinks he’s making these deep masterpieces.


  • I don’t know, though. I’m someone who gave up on Linux Mint because I just couldn’t get it to work properly. I wouldn’t say I’m tech inclined. I used a button phone until 2022. I only got a smartphone because my sim stopped working with my Nokia. The only issue I had with Lemmy was the sign up (it was during the reddit exodus so the sign ups weren’t going through, but I’m glad cos I nearly joined ml).

    Mastodon was easy as heck to join. I got a friend to sign up, no issues, and he has no idea what the fediverse even is.

    The high ground was just a ruse. Obi Wan has the advantage on the low ground. Vs Maul and Grievous, he attacked from below. Taunting Anakin about the high ground was just to make Anakin try to get the high ground so Obi Wan could attack from below. Which he did.

    Attacking from the low ground in melee combat is advantageous as you can just go for the ankles, as my niece figured out very early on when we used to play lightsaber battles. She’d insist I stand on the bed, and she’d slice off my ankles, it’s over, Auntikin, I have the low ground, haha.



  • Nope, I don’t think I’d ever heard of it prior to the Arthur version.

    We did the fall of Icarus in Year 3. My little sister learned Theseus and the Minotaur when she was around the same age, which is how I knew about it. Other than that, I don’t remember studying Ancient Greek anything, not even Heracles. Your school was obviously better than mine.










  • Buying homes as investments really needs to be de-incentivised. Mega tax on residential properties that aren’t occupied by the owners? I don’t know enough to know the answer, all I know is that renting costs way more than monthly mortgage repayments, yet I’m on a low wage and wouldn’t get accepted for a mortgage. Meanwhile greedy private landlords are making renters pay off their mortgage at a profit.
