well i’m just as petty as you for checking, but as you just went through my profile to downvote old comments, i diagnose that you are very upset at the internet and a little rest will do you good

“i tagged you as x this means you are x.” you see this stupid shit now and then, what’s the point of it? but anyway ydi since three days for writing fuck you and your whole family over and again doesn’t seem excessive really

extra sets of scare quotes is to emphasise the kind of “”“so-called”“” sarcasm of it and is nothing to do with the far right practice of putting three or more brackets around the name of a person or institution to indicate that it has set off their “”““jew radar””“”

There was no mistake, not sure why the article didn’t include a picture but it wasn’t a typical leaflet, it looks like this

yes they were. leon rosselson’s the world turned upside down commemorates them well, i heard billy bragg’s version first but i like chumbawamba’s best: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JEv3LpXNX8U

high contrast theme is the best one imo

given the terrible signal in my works toilets this is a very welcome development

best answer, the others so far mainly seem to be just lesser known rather than actually underrated

it’s full of those sort of sinking feelings but that’s a grim one

cheers, i’ll give it a go

watched it from the tubi link in the article. it’s very amateur (not necessarily a bad thing) and would be enjoyable enough except for the two tedious hospital parts that take up half the runtime

i read never let me go, didn’t know there was a film. do you think it’s still worth watching with prior knowledge?

Happiness (1998) is extremely dark and very funny at the same time

The War Zone (1999) is relentlessly bleak and uncomfortable

great news. love to the swarm

yes, both as in tank (=yank)

on behalf of great britain you are welcome to use shermans or septics. but the derivative seppo was invented by the aussies so you’ll have to ask them for the permit. they may throw in leftpondian for free, i don’t think they use it much any more

edit: i was operating outside my jurisdiction, septics is australian too according to https://greensdictofslang.com/entry/brdxe6y

Three weeks into the future. One teeming city. Seven streets gangs. Unlimited criminal opportunity

blah blah you get idea

i saw this one but did not think it was relevant as none of the suffererers of this condition, male or female presenting, have (a pair of) ovaries. but people (plural) with ovaries (plural) can mean less than two each i suppose. seems a bit of a stretch though

(complete with penises)

which type(s) of dsd causes someone to have ovaries and a penis?

it’s because of the plato / diogenes thing. ‘featherless biped’ works as a description of man but not as a definition

here’s some knowledgeable-sounding nerd’s writeup about it: https://old.reddit.com/r/AskHistorians/comments/qsw3bw/did_diogenes_really_run_into_platos_academy_with/

he reckons plato did say

we should have begun at first by dividing land animals into biped and quadruped; and since the winged herd, and that alone, comes out in the same class with man, should divide bipeds into those which have feathers and those which have not [etc etc]

but it’s not known if diogenes really did charge into one of his classrooms with a plucked chicken to prove him wrong
