As opposed to a xylophone made of dicks, which is a cockenspiel.

LinkedIn to me is just a platform where I go to get spammed by recruiters or watch middle managers passionately kiss corporate ass with motivational posts about how brilliant work is or how teamwork is so great.
It’s also a place where I add work connections that I otherwise wouldn’t send a Facebook friend request to.
Unless they pull off some kind of paramilitary overthrow of the German government (and last time I checked their co-leaders didn’t have an army of brownshirts to do their bidding) I cannot see Alternative fur Deutschland taking power in Germany. They actually lost vote share and support from other far right European parties when they spouted borderline Nazi views recently.
Reassemblement National on the other hand… Macron was stupid to call a snap parliamentary election, and if Marine Le Pen can make it to 2027 without being driven out by political scandal, she’ll probably be the next French President.
I’d have to say winter.
Spring is horrendous when it comes to pollen allergies and gets really bad around April.
Summer is similarly bad for hayfever sufferers, but also too hot and peak season for wasps and hornets.
Autumn can be nice but that’s overshadowed by being born in the same month as a lot of birthdays fall on (yes, a lot of people fuck during the Christmas holidays.) plus September is the one month that’s very restricted in terms of me taking time off because we have to prep the year-end accounts at work.
Winter on the other hand… It’s cold, it gets dark early, it can be pretty quiet, and there is nothing that beats the feeling of eating a turkey roast feast on Christmas Day, or going to a Christmas market and drinking mulled wine.
Petrol Bastard.
They call themselves ‘Tesco Value Prodigy’, yet when I see them put out tracks like these, I’m surprised they don’t have much of a following.
Wrong Impression - Natalie Imbruglia
Two Become One - Spice Girls
C’est La Vie - B*Witched
Ain’t No Mountain High Enough - Diana Ross
I have a friend who worked his ass off as a teenager and had founded a moderately successful IT business from the back of his garage. He sold his share of the firm at 21 and walked away with a seven digit bank balance.
He’s one of those self-proclaimed alpha males who did a lot of stuff like playing video games a lot, martial arts (black belt in two martial arts), gym, partying, etc. He would also still work from time to time, not out of necessity but rather boredom
Unfortunately age and a nasty case of long COVID caught up with him, so he’s mainly going back into IT.
Windows 3.1, 98SE, XP, 7, 8.1, 10 and now 11.
I did once use Ubuntu for a few weeks but this was after someone at school goaded me into acquiring a copy of Norton PartitionMagic to try and merge two awkwardly partitioned drives on my computer, which then nuked my C:\ partition. I didn’t have a backup copy of Windows XP to reinstall from so I had to go open source.
Needless to say, we didn’t remain friends after that.
75%. I have my moments, plus it’s hard to stay nice when there are so many assholes in the world.
Because stroking the bratwurst can be addictive and lead to destructive behaviours.
The same place that regularly bullies and bear-baits ‘lulcows’ for entertainment? The same people who bullied an autistic adult over a shitty Sonic fan character webcomic?
I mean we can mock Putin’s supposed manchild attitude as much as we like, but when this manchild is armed with nuclear weapons, that’s when we gotta be careful.
Unlikely, since helicopters are pretty dangerous (especially cold war era ones), have a single point of failure, and the accident apparently happened in bad conditions and in a mountainous region.
Also the Iranian president is more of a state figurehead than an actual ruler with the power to change the country. The Ayatollah is the one pulling the strings.
Don’t even think Iran are going to blame this on Israel, as they would get clapped in a direct confrontation with the IDF, and they know it.
The Sonic fandom continues to amaze me. For every mountain of lewd fan art and crappy original characters created by fans, you get an incredible fangame that absolutely trumps official efforts from Sega themselves.
Pulling off a kart racer in the Legacy DOOM engine of all things is a seriously impressive feat.
I see Robotnik as an entirely separate character to Eggman. The AOSTH/Mean Bean Machine character was a bumbling idiot, and Robotnik Prime from SATAM/Archie Comics was a brutal overlord.
National Rally are basically the French equivalent of the British National Party, and they are right wing as fuck.
When they’re leading in the polls, you know that Sarkozy, Hollande and Macron fucked up hard.
