Feels like now, “The people are revolting” will only ever be the title of a tabloid opinion piece on the comments of two Redditors and maybe a tweet

Two or three services blacklisted something in my username, Lyra Lycan. To this day I never found out what, why or which language

Pro tip, YMMV (browser reading mode) - a couple news sites have learned how to block it

The UK public in general has known to avoid any Murdoch-owned UK news outlet since said outlets hacked people of interest’s phones in 2011, and many folk learned just what an oligopolistic pos Murdoch is and how the bias of his companies shouldn’t be trusted. I assume the majority has forgotten or doesn’t care, but they had the opportunity to know and avoid Murdoch corporations.

Bruh I cleaned my PS2, turned it on after being in storage for a decade, and it remembered what time/date it was. That CMOS cell battery is a goddamn king

And of course, discs and memory cards. I’m sure some folks’ digital PS2 mods are also solid, and aren’t affected by one of the weakest links, the read laser.

So do you reckon it’ll be China again, or America, to create and release the virus that destroyed everything in 12 Monkeys?

A lot of cross-referencing, finding studies/articles and historical archives of both for the time period (conveniently one from 1955 was available) regarding 2 bedroom house prices on average across the Kingdom, and the government’s data on minimum wages. I made sure to compare the national data with at least two cities in separate regions. I divided the house cost by the wage per hour for each period, and got the hours necessary to earn that much. I then made a very rough assumption of the ability to save 40% of the total earned and arrived at a more realistic timeframe to buy a house outright.

Once I had the monetary value of each thing I put them into the RBS Inflation Calculator to see their value today. Minimum wages in 1955 were equal to ~£25 (in 2018), but 2 bed house prices were nearly half the price they are now, so for the wages to match the housing market also they need to be ~£48 today. (I performed this study in 2018 but before an event involving the loss of most of my digital data. I should remake the study so you guys don’t rely on my memory alone)

I’ve got the images for Windows 10 Pro and Windows XP on my server, to use remotely in case I ever feel the need.

I see my friend’s very well paying role is pretty much entirely on Microsoft Azure and know I cannot agree with it or go with them down that road.

What’s the point of a smart monitor? It’s connected to a PC. The PC is smart.

True, for anyone like me who sees it as a detriment there are folk like your MIL whose life was improved by it, and I’m glad she finds it useful. And if/when it does shut down and she’s still into crafts I hope she finds a decentralised alternative that won’t succumb to the whim of shareholders.

I’d argue you were correct - it seems more accurate to me to say that ‘femmes are pressured to worry about their image’ than ‘women…’ as many women unlearn the lesson that they must portray a certain version of themselves, whereas femmes generally conform to it willingly, hence why they’re ‘femme’. Therefore, the women that are excluded by the term ‘femme’ are the same women that don’t fit the criteria of using Pinterest for their self image…
But this nuance with woman/female/femme is one of the more complex aspects of modern conversation. Last decade it was there/their/they’re. FTR: Am transwoman, am femme, felt included :)

No need to lynch them :/ – the queer community, being more empathic in general, use ‘femme’ to refer to anyone with stereotypically feminine traits, and this detaches the social stigma that all women must do x and all men mustn’t do x. But with your comment you just implied that all femmes are women, which isn’t true – SJW out of the way the real problem is what the commenter was referring to: the overwhelming and ridiculous pressure on the vast majority of females, whether they end up becoming women or not, from a very young age to conform to a certain image for others to enjoy. The porcelain look of Geishas is one such example, as are the facial prosthetics a lot of women in Korea and China utilise.
