Steal a tire, roll it up to the top of a hill, and try to ramp it over the wall and into your dickhead neighbour’s rhubarb patch.

Urb-ex, I think this is mostly a post-industrial thing. Whole lotta dilapidated buildings in town to fuck around in. There was a local rite of passage that involved breaking into an abandoned bomb shelter.

Buy a pistol-grip crossbow from a sketchy man at a game faire and shoot cans up in the woods.

The possibilities are endless, as long as you leg it before the cops show up.

That’s already illegal in the UK. The current moral panic is about wall hanger crap being exchanged via, like, facebook marketplace, or ebay, etc.

Gonna use this next time I need to spin up a user name for a site. Look out world, here comes Wank-clown!

(I haven’t seen the sequel)

It’s more of a brave new world sorta thing than the great escape homage of the first film. Due to the media it’s satirising you could probably pull a communist reading from it pretty easily, but my main takeaway was that it felt like it was poking fun at how people consider free-range to be ethical and not just, like, less evil than battery farming.

The Brits racializing Germans as asiatic “Huns” is certainly a head scratcher.

During the Boxer Rebellion, Kaiser Wilhelm II reportedly ordered his troops to behave “Just as a thousand years ago the Huns under their king Attila”. This speech became a lightning rod for fears of German expansion in Europe.

I think this is just an England problem.

As national anthems go, Flower of Scotland and Mae Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau are good.

Scraped directly off the upholstery.

Blue Elephant: The Jizz Guy

Max Rebo catching strays here.

Don’t despair when the lib you’re talking to ignores your well thought out response.

Said lib has taken to posting about those mean hexbear tankies all over the anti-communist parts of Lemmy (and also for some reason lemmy.ml’s anarchism comm). This was never about good faith discussion and all about getting in a pissing contest here then whining about it elsewhere.

the British monarchy also experienced a similar event.

parliamentarians shoulda spent more time executing royals instead of putting down worker’s movements.

Locals pushed 'em out in Cardiff, so the police waited until they fled and arrested the antifascists.

Gimme the big leg, I want to reach high shelves.

Huge problem imho, is that a lot of these people who rattle on about voting for harm reduction candidates go home after voting on election day and then don’t get involved politically until the next election cycle.

In these bourgeois “democracies” political parties are always going to move to court wealthy donors and thus shift right wing. If you lot over in America can’t mobilise enough people out in the street to fight for these causes, to grind your country to a screaming halt if needs be, then the Dems will be where labour is soon. Maybe not this election, but check back in with this comment by the midterms.

I guess there’s some small comfort that they’ll at least pay lip service to trans rights then.

The labour party won an election over here and one of the first things they did was stop access to puberty blockers. During the election I was told by a lot of liberals preaching harm reduction that, as a trans woman, that I had to vote for them 'cos the Tories would be worse.

I’m worried about trans people over on your side of the ocean being in a similar position where the elections are between trans exterminationist and transphobe.

Okay, can you be more specific about what they did to minimise damage? Like, did they make trans people a protected class, or relieve the bureaucracy around transitioning, or what?

Not an American, so no real stake in this but, could you tell me what the Democrats have done in the past four years to protect trans rights? Since you’re all so clearly concerned about them an’ all.

That’s a brave person right there, to stand in front of all those tanks.

What happened next? I bet it was something terrible.

Help me understand the contradiction here of Blairites complaining about the declining birthrate but also supporting policies like this that disincentivise working class couples having more children.

Do murder ghosts or whatever count as dependents?

There’s probably some nightmare tax form for this, isn’t there?

Have a good day, friend

You too, mate.
