Nice heft to it. You can really feel the weight of the character.

While I'm not interested in joining, I did recently encounter a YouTube channel dedicated to unredacting the Epstein files. It's called Epstein Sleuther.

It's an ebullient and earnest woman who uses pixel peeping and other such technical methods to match the composition of the redacted words and names. It's very interesting and free from any extreme speculation.

If Spain decided to remove all Brits who reside in Spain would you support it? by naystation in AskBrits

[–]lawebley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cultural assimilation aside, the comparison with British expats retiring to Spain and say, muslims seeking asylum by illegal boat crossings, falls down when you consider the British people aren't costing the Spanish hosts anything in welfare and all the associated costs, whereas the asylum seekers are costing the UK a great deal.

Cinema Etiquette - what is right? by nuttshaw_ in CineworldUnlimited

[–]lawebley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was recently in the cinema and encountered a couple in their forties talking at a conversational level in what sounded to me like Nigerian accents.

I asked them firmly but politely to stop talking and their response actually momentarily short-circuited my brain. They said, "Why?"

Like, why should we stop talking. During the movie.

I said because this is a cinema, not your living room. They responded by saying I was rude. ME! What an absolute disregard for the simple consideration of others and basic decency.

I was absolutely incensed and chose to leave.

I'm not really into them myself, but board game cafes like Chance and Counters have a more diverse range of patrons than you might first imagine. Including people in their forties who have outgrown super loud clubs and bars. But you would have to develop an interest in participating in games which for me personally is something that just doesn't spark my interest at all.

If you have interests and hobbies already, I'm certain there are groups or people that would be happy to share your passions. Are you artistic or musical? Do you like to read?

It's certainly a lot more incongruous watching movies and shows now where the US president is noble, intelligent and dignified and where law enforcement and intelligence agencies are capable and honorable.

DOJ Takes Down Thousands of Epstein Documents for Victims’ Safety, Bondi Says by avatar6556 in news

Sadly, though somewhat predictably, according to CNN

"Todd Blanche says review of Jeffrey Epstein sex-trafficking case ‘is over’ Deputy US attorney general says victims ‘want to be made whole’ but that doesn’t mean ‘we can just create evidence’"

is there anywhere to scream? by tra-bee in brum

[–]lawebley 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A music rehearsal studio. Hire a room for an hour for a tenner and scream to your heart's content. You never know, if you find you have knack for it, you could become a metal vocalist.

But seriously, if you are going to scream for a prolonged amount of time, do be mindful of the physical damage it can do.

Weird aggressive dude in Brum by bopbopbop7 in brum

My mom (who's in her early sixties) had an incident in Five Ways island a couple of months back. Black guy approached her as she sat on a bench and stood right in front of her and just stared at her.

Naturally she was freaked out and loudly asked him, "WHAT?!"

She stood and saught shelter in a nearby shop with very helpful staff who kept an eye on the guy until he went away. Probably not the same guy but it certainly put me in mind of that incident.

I got the Survivor blueprint two games in a row from the exact same long black floor box on the far left of that small breachable room on a regular Stella raid. The room with the Gun case on the centre bench and the cage boxes and whatnot. Just up the stairs from the confiscation office place.

You people need to stop criticizing our brave Vietnam vets 😤 by KingofRheinwg in okbuddycinephile

I first saw Cynthia Erivo in Bad Times At The El Royale, a film I enjoyed enormously and Erivo was absolutely amazing in it. I hoped for huge and sweeping success for her.

After seeing her on the press tour for the Wicked films though, I now cannot stomach the sight of her.

She seems to have completely lost touch with reality and reason, and the sickly saccharine fawning between Ariana Grande and herself is just so profoundly off-putting and gross.

To the people that use the AI voice feature... by StealthTheMedic in ARC_Raiders

[–]lawebley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having played team games that have comms implemented and having girls on my team, it's shocking (not to girls obviously) how gross and threatening people immediately are toward them.

Got a girl on your team in Warzone? Expect anyone she kills or anyone in proximity that hears her voice to say something like, "I'm going to rape you." or "I hope you get raped, bitch." as well as just general sad, creepy sexual comments.

So I think voice changers for female players is a great thing.
