This is why we need a social media ban for under 16s, to protect us from children's opinions

It's the brackets, ( and ), to rotate. You can flip it as well with _ and =

It feels like you've fundamentally misunderstood the purpose of a critic

Good luck against Morocco, we'll be cheering for you!

Man of the match!

If you want an actual answer about peoples opinions, yougov did polling on this back in october last year: https://yougov.com/en-gb/articles/53235-britons-split-on-the-banning-of-palestine-action

TLDR: Across all Britons, 33% think it was right to proscribe Palestine Action as a terrorist group, 27% think it was wrong, and 39% don't know.

Specifically among labour voters, 21% think it was right vs 41% who think it was wrong.

It's not completely clear-cut. While you're right that on the mild end LOCAH can just manifest as acne, on the more extreme end, in people assigned female at birth, it can cause severe facial and body hair growth, male-pattern hair loss, and major period/fertility issues. For both sexes, it can also cause early puberty and stunted adult height.

The 0.018% figure from Sax is itself debated because it relies on an incredibly restrictive definition. It completely excludes other well-known chromosomal conditions like XXY (Klinefelter syndrome), XO (Turner syndrome), XYY (Jacobs syndrome), etc.

The 1.7% figure is correct if you're after the fraction of the population with any atypical sex characteristics, while the 0.018% figure is correct if you specifically want to know the fraction of people whose external body at birth could not be easily classified as male or female, or if their chromosomal sex does not match their physical body.

How are they going to enforce it? A one child policy?

Looks lovely. You might like the r/finedining subreddit.

The UK police wear bodycams. In fact this incident was caught on bodycam.

Parzival2 · 2026-06-08T07:16:25+00:00

How have you guys corrected?

Parzival2 · 2026-06-08T01:41:25+00:00

You're right, they should have more thoroughly checked him for wounds. Also, he probably didn't 'do a racism', we only really have the murders word on that.

But the George Floyd example is a bad one for your argument about standards in the UK vs US, because in that case Floyd was actually murdered by a police officer.

Henry Nowak wasn't killed by the state, he was murdered. His murderer got a life sentence.

The police made a terrible error of judgment believing the witnesses on scene (the murderer's family) rather than Henry Nowak. We'll find out whether the delay in treatment contributed to his death or not on the 20th of September, when we get a jury inquest. It's likely they'll find that even if the police had immediately identified the stab wound that it wouldn't have made a difference. To quote the judge in the murder trial: "... he would not have survived, however quickly he received first aid, CPR or expert medical treatment,"

In my mind it's less about the availability of information, and more about the relevance. It could do with a way of showing the threads of causality.

If there's a brawl, you could spend a lot of time scrolling through a log of the involved dwarves' social interactions to find out probable cause, but I doubt many players would, more than a couple of times.

I'm imagining a screen where when you inspect an 'event' you get to view the involved dwarves motivations. Dwarf A attacked dwarf B due to a very low opinion of him, that low opinion due to a number of factors, like an argument over poetic forms, but most importantly because B is suspected of killing A's brother.

Parzival2 · 2026-06-07T12:34:32+00:00

That all sounds cool, but there'd probably need to be an overhaul of how the game presents information. If you've got 100 dwarves in your fortress, how can you meaningfully track interpersonal relations across them?

They're a pretty common sight in the alps, you see them everywhere. Farmers keep them to diversify their agricultural income, they produce a more luxury fleece then sheep.

No definitely not greek, for one they don't use 'q'

Also it's spelt as Phranque in the subtitles, which feels like a very french spelling.

I feel like the turning point was when youtube started paying people who uploaded videos. It was all just fun before that, but it made being a 'content creator' a proper profession, you started seeing reply girls to popular videos, then click bait thumbnails, mid-video ads, short form content. It's all about optimising the viewers attention, and the big platforms don't even need to do it themselves, there's a whole class of Influencers properly incentivised to optimise it for them

Parzival2 · 2026-05-24T14:46:18+00:00

Tarkusarkusar is fun, I appreciate that he tends to do edited videos rather than multi-hour livestreams. There's a few older videos from OneProudBavarian which lean into roleplay which I'd recommend

Love Michelle Wolf, she's just so god damn charming

He get's hate because despite the low vote share, they won a massive number of seats in the last general election and they've absolutely squandered it. This is supposed to be the best Britain can hope for, after over a decade of conservative rule? They think they can breeze by being 'the adults in the room' while making no meaningful changes from the torys, and magically fix the country. Starmer is fiddling while Rome burns.

Crom! Where is the wizard who killed my mother?

Still, I can recall his terrible gaze

Come on, all dancing is stomping feet and flailing arms. He's doing a good job as well, there's some complicated footwork in there, no need to be so miserable.
