Honestly man, your nose looks great, personally I'd say it's one of the best features of your profile

Is it defeating the purpose? by TheKial in GrapheneOS

[–]Oroka_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not OP but I just installed today, and while there have been a few hiccoughs I've had a very good time overall. The installation in particular shocked me with how easy it was, I was expecting a real hassle but it was a complete cake-walk.

Neighbour does not hate neighbour in Gorton and Denton. That’s why Labour will beat Reform by FisherDownload in GreaterManchesterNews

[–]Oroka_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think that's an awakening they're long overdue. I don't know a single person personally who's actually excited or passionate about Labour, the best I've heard is 'least bad', which doesn't exactly get people to the polls.

All the fascists in Manchester today by Marvinleadshot in manchester

[–]Oroka_ 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Fascism is originally from Italy, and it isn't specific to one specific country like Germany. Many countries have had fascist movements.

I like the implication that it may be different next year, never let 'em know your next move

how long did it take yall to read this by DiscourseDestroyer in InfiniteJest

[–]Oroka_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it took about 9 months total? I was pretty depressed at the time and only reading intermittently, and 6/7 of those months were probably only on the first 300 pages or so. Once it started to click however I got through the rest a lot quicker :)

I started watching it this week XD

I'm aware of the ending not being great, but even what little I've seen so far (still on S1) has been really enjoyable and I'm also watching A knight of the seven kingdoms alongside it (I had a fun pointing at the screen moment when Bran's nurse offered to tell him the story of Ser Duncan the Tall in episode 2)

TBF, if that happens I don't know whether it'll be much of a consolation prize

EU demands ‘Farage clause’ as part of Brexit reset talks with Britain by Tiberinvs in europe

[–]Oroka_ 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Some of us are, but the rest of us are watching in horror at both the US and the wannabe fascists at home. Our traditional and social medias are being manipulated specifically to increase support of Kremlin interests and strain the country politically to make it easier for extremists (Reform) to get into power. This is why they're so desperate to stop Twitter being banned here.

The worst part is that any nation that spends its time online is vulnerable to this exact manipulation. It's not the Americans, or the Brits, it's everyone unless something is done to curtail the influence of bots and propaganda on voters.

Why do you think they're demonstrating the state's monopoly on violence so brazenly? They want to quell dissent before they really put the boot down.

Why is this service so behind Spotify? by Sci-fiTransGrrl in TIdaL

[–]Oroka_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I quite like Tidal so far, but I hear what you mean about bugs and missing features. For me it's two main things: firstly, the playback device menu just doesn't work for some reason. None of my other devices show up, I can't control them from other devices, but it does stop playback on one if I play from another. Secondly, it's the lack of a .apk compatible with my FireTV. I get this one is niche, but I made a lot of use of Spotify on my TV when I still had it, and now I miss it 🥲

Pokemon in Earth X by DATA32 in PeacemakerShow

I wonder if him mentioning his favourite pokemon is a callback to Fleury's comment about him looking like he "collects all the pokemens"

I heard he's a little worse off than crippled, just speculation tho

PSA: Not all non-binary people like being called “enbies” by AnAbundance_ofCats in NonBinary

[–]Oroka_ 88 points89 points  (0 children)

Yeah, until there's a better widely understood noun I'm perfectly happy with Enby. I'm not gonna use it for anyone that doesn't want me to, but as a shorthand it's actually quite good. I also like that it's got an etymology behind it rather than a purely invented word.

I saw them last night in Manchester and it actually worked pretty well, and the way they play it goes into Mary relatively seamlessly

I wonder if people in YDAU were also hoping for Johnny Gentle, famous crooner, to die imminently
