What's going on here?

Is it too :tinfoil: to think its because of a pending paternity test?

It's some PR twat trying to micromanage what he looks like in photos to avoid any negative connotations (like holding a disposable cup would hurt his enviromental credentials) completely removed from the fact that what he says in interviews is making her job basically impossible.

Extremely optimistic to think XR will actually learn anything from this.

I've never seen a Hangover movie and I don't know what the director said, but the film is about how violence against the upper class is totally justified and they deserve everything that's coming to them. I think the reason the media is in such a tizzy about it is that it also criticises centrist liberals from the left for not really giving a gently caress about the poor.

The director did the full "drat you can't say anything without offending the snowflakes" routine. So I'm fairly comfortable saying any leftist reading of the movie is unintentional.

The VO clairifies that; the capsule is edible, presumably it dissolves or something like some other 'plastic'-seeming thing I ate once and can't remember the details of

I saw someone on Twitter say it was seaweed derived, though I dont know enough about seaweed to know how that works. If they really wanted to go full dumb gimmick though they'd just put them in edible paper and make them into alcoholic flying saucers.

Not to do with any current thread issue but I wanted to share this because it's a good video about why plastic straw bans are real bad for some disabled people.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uRy_0IEwxMw

Even in my rants about how terrible paper straws are, the accessibility uses of bendy straws are one of the things I always forget about. The cleaning difficulties of reusable straws is another one I haven't thought of before but does make sense given how anyone who has to clean small piping knows how horrible those things can get over time no matter how thorough you are with cleaning it.

This is actually a good graph, because it shows the more Tory someone is, the more of a oval office they are. But also that there's a base level of both Tory and oval office that isn't 0, so every Tory is a oval office to some degree.

The amount of money he’s personally lost probably matches the gdp of Turkey.

There's a story one of his daughters tells of a time when he was walking with her somewhere and pointed to a homeless man and said "That guy has more money than me" because he was so ridiculously in debt from bad franchise deals. Since that's basically what his business is, franchising the Trump name to the people who actually build and run the poo poo with his name on.

I guess part of it is technology improving, part of it is what we use them for changing.

During the 90s you'd have a line of credit with a department store so that you could buy a sofa or something and pay it off over the course of several months, and you'd have a bank card so that you could use an ATM or shop in big shops, buy stuff from mail or fax order catalogs (remember the back page of every games magazine, I know some of you do), and guarantee cheques up to a certain amount (newsagent didn't take card, but wouldn't accept cheque without guarantee). There's no way you'd pull one out in a pub or a takeaway.

It took until Chip & PIN for them to be preferred over cash by most smaller businesses and probably until contactless for them to be common at pubs and takeaways.

For reference regarding how recent using cards to pay for everything is, Mcdonalds only started taking card payments in 2007.

As far as the whole porno-pass thing, they're probably pissed about losing the revenue from the one person who wouldn't use a VPN or something to keep getting it for free. Plus if I remember rightly Pornhub were basically in charge of the 'project', and I'm sure they were in a big ol' hurry to alienate people using their site.

They probably planned on doing what happens to most government IT projects. Take buckets of money, then deliver something late that barely works.

Pornhub's parent company runs the online ID system the scheme was going to use, so they were getting paid either way.

Worth noting with the Twitter thing, they still hold the definition on what political advertising is. So this could be just as bad as Facebook's fact checking thing that blocks pro-vaccination articles and has Breitbart as a trusted source.
