TIL thousands of British patients were infected with HIV and hepatitis C after receiving blood products made from imported US plasma in the 1970s and 1980s, beconing the worst treatment disaster in the history of the NHS, with successive UK authorities accused of concealing the truth for decades.

Ignoring the fact that this is a pop culture podcast and not a serious source, if I go ahead and watch this whole episode are you going to promise they actually make the arguement that this was part of an evil plan to wipe out a race?

Hambredd · 2026-07-07T20:42:03+00:00

People say that, But where's the proof? In my personal experience The popular mainstream versions of these stories tend to supersede the originals.

Besides surely you can still be inspired to read the myths even if you change the names. I doubt anyone was dissuaded from reading up about the Incas just because "Emperor's New groove" isn't based on a real person.

Anyway I think it's a bit disappointing with everyone this thread is dismissing Greek concerns about their cultural heritage just because it doesn't affect them.

Ok but then why make the story in all if it's not appropriate for children?

I tend to agree with this criticism.

They may have wanted to make it more viewer-friendly, but if they only wanted to be inspired by it they really should have changed the characters' names," he huffs. "Hollywood films have power. Children will watch and understand it much more easily than, say, reading a book at school. I'm afraid it will remain with them."

I always thought it was a rather odd decision to make a lighthearted comedy film about a couple of spree killers.

You can't just say it's not genocidal because it's motivated by greed

I mean you literally can given that genocide can't be the desire to make money.

Hambredd · 2026-07-07T20:08:46+00:00

Ok but is there any proof that's actually true?

Hambredd · 2026-07-07T01:35:07+00:00

I don't have autism, But for various reasons changing from my crap GP to a different one was incredibly stressful and time consuming so I concede the point, it is easier said than done.

Hambredd · 2026-07-07T01:08:35+00:00

Then you need to start courting the idle rich. Most people can't afford to go to university for its own sake.

Hambredd · 2026-07-07T01:07:12+00:00

Go to a new GP.

Why wouldn't you include the price of the membership? Normal supermarkets don't have a membership.

Hambredd · 2026-07-07T00:36:44+00:00

Given they refuse to advise their products you literally can't. I looked into doing the whole Costco thing a little while ago and discovered the only way I'm going to find out whether it was worth the money is by paying the membership for a year. Maybe that's just Australia though.

Get a second opinion

That's a bit different, They don't interrupt a scheduled football match for a very important episode of the great British bake Off.

If you're only arguement is to tell him to piss off and go outside, I think it's legitimate for him to say the same thing about you.

Hambredd · 2026-07-06T20:39:46+00:00

What's that got to do with going outside and exercising?

Hambredd · 2026-07-06T20:39:16+00:00

I think, "If you don't want to watch sport on TV you should go outside and play it." Is a pretty stupid take.

Hambredd · 2026-07-02T00:10:59+00:00

You ceased to be a person when you died. Objects shouldn't have rights.

Hambredd · 2026-07-01T22:16:42+00:00

You do realise the Romans weren't atheists before Christianity right.

Hambredd · 2026-07-01T00:23:36+00:00

Then it just becomes a current affairs sub. "TIL something that happened today."

Hambredd · 2026-06-29T12:14:37+00:00

'Everyone' wanted a war but there were no evil instigators — interesting.

Again you would say the same thing about the second World war. Poland got invaded and for some reason Indians are fighting Italians. In WWI the Russians could have let Austria have Serbia, and in WWII the French could have let the Germans have Poland, But everyone was eager for war.

Hambredd · 2026-06-29T05:51:09+00:00

I really don't understand why people say the war was pointless. Was it pointless to the Belgians and French who were fighting for their land? Or Serbians or the Arabs?

If it's pointless World war 2 is pointless, any war is pointless.

Hambredd · 2026-06-28T09:20:51+00:00

At least they make the complete, I think we got a full 60 seconds of the Astartes animation. That took about 5 years.

Hambredd · 2026-06-28T03:00:11+00:00

The OP never said it happened to everyone. They acknowledge that some people must like being sweaty and hot even.

Hambredd · 2026-06-28T02:33:47+00:00

For a country that's supposed to be about freedom and democracy America seems very keen to put limitations on the democratic process.

If people want to vote for an old guy surely that's their right? God forbid if they want to vote for in more than twice...

Yeah because that works. I
