My mother is Asian and my father is British. My father had a pen pal that was a friend of my mother’s, and my mother also decided to write to him. I believe they wrote for about two years before deciding that if they want a relationship, they’ll have to get married. So my mother moved to Britain and they were married within the month.

Before the internet (and Facebook) became more accessible, my mother would write to her family often and occasionally call, which was expensive.

I just switched when the API nonsense shat all over the actually good reddit apps, since I primarily used reddit on my phone.

I saw lemmy touted as an alternative and figured why not?

Dad fell for a Microsoft key scam. They were calling him about invalid registration or something. Kept asking for £500.

Stopped calling after my infuriated sister, who was living with our parents at the time, basically bullied the shit out of them on the phone.

I’m not sure about other places, but in mod comments on Nexus it’s fairly standard to just reply in your native language and have the other person translate.

You’ll often see discussions with one half in English and the other in Chinese, for example.

Make America Great Again!

Spends all day every day fucking over the majority of the population.

Sure.

Just put the whole government in the bin at this point.

Trump is a genuine man-child. He probably doesn’t understand half of what he’s saying or what it means whatsoever, and why is “wokeness” even taken seriously as a political talking point?

He just does things he’s told to do like he has no autonomy, but I guess you can’t expect more from Putin’s licking dog.

I am honestly incredibly grateful for the NHS and find it bizarre that anyone can be actively against nationalised healthcare. I can’t imagine how many people have died due to simply not wanting to burden their family with excessive bills.

Ah, this is something I genuinely didn’t consider.

I suppose it’d be better to pick up the games I’m interested in on GoG and play them on PC?

Just figured it wasn’t as relevant as it could be. It was just me mentioning that I think it’s fine to push this sort of change due to being influenced by family working in the ICU seeing cases of alcoholism and alcohol-influenced accidents. However, I am from the UK, which has a higher rate of alcoholism than other nations.

Didn’t think me figuring “eh, nah” would be seen as some sort of heinous micro-aggression.

Classism and stupidity.

Although they got a bit stuck on Hadrian’s Wall.

I don’t know if it’s because I’m British, but I always assumed that America is the way it is because we shipped a bunch of over-zealous loons over there that we didn’t really want here.

Part of me isn’t surprised as to how things are turning out.

Based on the article, seems like he just wants to point out it’s bullshit to put the entire onus on women for pregnancy.

He doesn’t want turbines because oil companies paid him $75 million to promote their interests.

Probably influenced by the enormous amount of money oil barons spent on him, of which they almost certainly did with an expectation of return on investment.

His desire to “Drill baby drill!” and relax restrictions on oil drilling—including drilling into a wilderness reserve previously uninterrupted by man—and his apparent distaste for EVs and green energy, makes it pretty obvious whose hand has firmly lodged itself right up his arsehole.

The man needs oil to sell to please his owners, and belligerently trying to force the EU to increase their purchases is just another one of his hare-brained schemes.

I really don’t understand why money is so much more important to these people than not fucking over the environment.

But I guess you don’t get stinking rich by thinking about anything other than money. The concept of a wider world must really be foreign to these cunts.

Maybe a few more assassins are in order.

Probably if they’re following the person/group and interacting with them in some way. The article specifically mentions upskirting, which requires obvious motion. Cameras following you despite moving away also makes it pretty obvious. If you’re in a state of partial nudity for whatever reason your drunk brain has decided, and somebody is persistently filming you, you have every right to feel concerned about it.

If some dude is talking to himself and live blogging it’s probably not as suspicious, unless he specifically starts mentioning the women in his recording.

Either way, reviewing the footage will clear or condemn them. I’m personally on the side of better safe than sorry since they’ve mentioned this behaviour has led to further harassment.
