💯 the remarkable thing about Starmer is that he didn’t even bother pretending

Hmm I think it definitely is intended as that sort of allegory though — otherwise how can the message be about overcoming prejudice? Prejudice against what? And yes, it’s well-intentioned as I said, but, come on, in trying to tell a story about tolerance, they end up building this world where ‘weak’ and ‘strong’ are biologically distinct groups, and the message of the movie seems to be “yes, this is true, but we should look beyond these obvious facts”.
Tbc, I don’t even mean this as a criticism of the film — but these aforementioned aspects do tell us something about the culture at large, I think.
Tbf it’s not a bad film, and I do think it was well-intentioned in its way. It’s almost as if the ideological context were irreparably fucked that no matter what you do within that framework, you end up reproducing reactionary politics 🤔
I mean even taken at face value, the whole ‘wolves and sheep’ theme is just incredibly fascist isn’t it lol
Zootopia: racially essentialist allegory masquerading as a story about tolerance
OBVIOUSLY DO NOT HIDE IT fwiw my experience with 1 or 2 house landlords has been positive - they at least cared about keeping the property habitable, and tbh we’re all doing what we can to get along in this hellscape. ‘Proffessional’ landlords are another matter, however, and deserve to be minecrafted
One time I had black stool, but it turned out it was just because I’d eaten an entire box of oreos
Also to force privatisations on the member states who don’t have the clout to just ignore the rules

If you try to pursue a platonic friendship with someone you are crushing on, that has the potential to turn quite ugly, speaking from experience. Obvs you know the situation better than me, but one might say that carrying on like that is even dishonest/unfair to both parties. It will be way harder to salvage a friendship if this comes out later on, when you both know you’ve been continuing under false pretenses.
As for appropriateness, there’s nothing weird or creepy about asking someone out! You can even lampshade the awkwardness it if needs be. You’re making out that boundaries were set when you spoke with her. Is that true? Because asking her out is how you give her a chance to set those boundaries.
Rhyming ‘bad’ with ‘sad’ 😙👌
Just ask them out imo. This feeling will only fester otherwise. And if they say no, well now you know!
Yeah I second this — I have Linux Mint on the family computer and the non-techies get on just fine with it. The Cinnamon desktop environment is basically a modern remake of Windows XP.
On quiet shifts when I worked at McDonald’s, we’d deliberately dirty up the work surfaces so we could look busy when a floor manager came by — because otherwise they’d find some awful/dangerous job for you to do instead
I don’t think you know what you’re asking for tbh
I mean if you absolutely must use Windows applications, why not just use Windows? I won’t tell anyone
You have to pay it forward to two people or gulag
Lmao no one has any right to be surprised by this — his whole election pitch was ‘I solemnly swear to govern as an awful right wing bastard, because that’s what Normal Britons want’
Did they also serve a fist made of ham
It’s the complete intolerance from our generation towards both children and the elderly that really gets me. It’s like people are in denial about their own mortality, and angrily reject anything that might remind them of it. In my experience this is an especially anglo thing. Sick culture.
