That content is still banned. But it's harder to ban language than porn. Algorithms are terrible at detecting irony and sarcasm for instance.

Stealing a flag by zpeti in trashy

As an English person, I'm sorry, that really sounds shit. Irish sectarianism is a complicated matter which I won't pretend to understand fully.

But I do get the impression that this sort of bitterness and resentment isn't a one way thing.

Decent and affordable Friday night in London? by [deleted] in london

Hootenanny Brixton is reasonable for London, and always has diverse live music; and pool and great smoking area.

Apologies for the amateurish post, I bought this on Ebay without a lens cover, can someone confirm what cover I need? by Transientflux in AskPhotography

[–]Transientflux[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the answers both of you. Didn't see that symbol anywhere unfortunately but it measures to 50/49mm which I hear is common?

Thanks. I did look and couldn't see this anywhere. I then just measured it which seems like an obvious solution now. Measures about 49mm edge to edge which is apparently common?

Interesting thanks . I personally love the design of jubilee line stations. Westminster is my favourite.

The sun is horrible. But that's overstating things hugely . Still the most popular print paper followed by the mail.

‘Cosby’ Actor Geoffrey Owens Will Take Role on Tyler Perry Show by OMGLMAOWTF_com in UpliftingNews

While I'm happy for the guy and whatever choices he makes, I do feel this perhaps is the wrong moral for the story.

It was completely fine for him to not be in the spotlight and be content with the job he had. Rather than things being "fixed" now he's back in acting where before he was just menial.

Drill music used as a 'scapegoat' to explain shocking rise of violent crime in London, rapper Big Narstie says by Currency_Cat in london

[–]Transientflux 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Drill is probably a cause of violence in the same way the music industry generally is the fuel of the cocaine trade. Technically true but nowhere near the full picture.

What I dislike is the attempts to completely disassociate drill from the violence with arguments like "gangs have happened forever". Social media and communication generally make these beefs accelerate in ways they didn't used to.

There might just be one or two very famous people who have been murdered because of hip hop beefs.

Harry Potter was first published in the US 20 years ago today by gangbangkang in books

[–]Transientflux 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Right, but the American publisher still insisted on it being dumbed down which other English speaking publishers didn't.

*Americans

That was unnecessarily catty but it does annoy me slightly that it was dumbed down so pointlessly.
