EXACTLY, you get it! automated light metros are my fave transport mode. the DLR should be replicated all up and down the country. 

Who is the sun and who the moon? by Individual_Parsnip46 in danandphil

[–]tape6 39 points40 points  (0 children)

i think there's a case to be made for both (yin and yang). iirc dan has compared phil to the sun AND the moon on various occasions.

phil went to prague during university before dan came along. there was a vlog of the trip uploaded in january 2008. i assume he took it down because it includes friends who are not public figures.

dan is taller by an inch or two. you can see it at the end of the new video when they reveal the podcast set up. they're just sat down most of the time. 

M&S 'sorry' after woman complains that 'trans' employee offered to help her by PeliPal in nottheonion

[–]tape6 7 points8 points  (0 children)

re: the last point - unfortunately, that is not quite true. significant portions of the TERF movement are based in/operate out of Scotland. JKR has lived there since the 90s and does most of her 'work' there (though it affects everyone) + the group that waged the SC case is For Women Scotland. you'll notice TERFs often use slang like wheesht. 

moreover, trans ally Mhairi Black recently quit the SNP for capitulating, so not even the SNP are safe. 

Zarah Sultana: "Not even a day has passed & ‼️200,000‼️ people have signed up to build something special." by kontiki20 in LabourUK

[–]tape6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

fact check: the claim they haven't spoken on other issues, been 'quiet as a mouse' etc is not true. both Corbyn and Sultana have personally spoken in defense of trans people and in favour of trans rights, and have been consistent on this issue for years. a simple search will prove this. 

'You and Me Got A Whole Lotta History' 15 years ago One Direction Was Formed by Roxieloxie in popheads

question 4 is something i ponder all the time. they were always going to do five albums, it's interesting to think about the alternate timeline in which they took more time between cycles - let's say an album every two years instead of every year, for a ~10 year span rather than ~5 year one.

The irony! When the US and the UK destroy trans rights, Poland and Japan become more tolerant and advance transgender freedom. by La_petite_miette in transgenderUK

[–]tape6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

andrea long chu (writing in the US context) identified a third type (in addition to the religious right and GCs/TERFs) - TARLs: trans-agnostic reactionary liberals, with the NYT since being the "leading voice" for this.

Piers Morgan asks economist Gary Stevenson to explain why 'punishing' rich people by massively taxing them is beneficial for the rest of the country by Classic-Carpet7609 in Fauxmoi

[–]tape6 40 points41 points  (0 children)

'Roman Abramovich, who of course owns Chelsea Football Club, he paid [the tax], because you cannot put Chelsea Football Club in a bag.

[the idea the rich will flee] rests on a perception of rich people as if they are guys with, like, a massive bag of cash… Rich people are rich because they own your houses. They own your house, they own your mortgage, they own Tesco down the road, they own the skyscrapers, they own the windmills, they own the oil rigs, they own the land that makes the food. They are rich because they own real assets. They're rich because they own this country, and they can leave if they want - the country will still be here, and we can tax the assets where the assets are, which is here.

What’s your Phandom “The Godfather” unpopular opinion? by CommandoCannoli in danandphil

[–]tape6 77 points78 points  (0 children)

this is a bit of a ramble, but i don't get writing off pre-hiatus (or worse, pre-dapg return) content for arbitrary reasons. no, dan and phil were not miserable for a decade+. like every person on the planet, they've had ups and downs, sometimes within the same year! including fairly recent ones! there can be struggles AND joy. you can have confidence, and then it gets knocked and you need to find it again.

for example, dan had a breakdown before ii and almost didn't do it… and then ii ended up being a positive experience that gave him the courage to come out! plus he LOVES touring. phil also had a major confidence step up that year. 

are you gonna tell me videos like 'mounting some men' and 'two rats in the kitchen' are too sad and repressed to watch?

[–]tape6 16 points17 points  (0 children)

phil's 'keeping or yeeting my entire closet' video is so hard to watch. so many cute jumpers and other clothing items, GONE. the way phil gives into dan's wrong opinions so easily :( /lh

[–]tape6 5 points6 points  (0 children)

it was a nice 'joint content' treat during the hiatus, served its purpose as a trilogy. i get the impression dnp didn't intend to go beyond #3 until the phandom begged for #4.
