Mr Phillby posted:The 2013 snowpiercer movie is so good I didn't even notice I'd missed half the plot because the DVD i bought was from a region that assumed you understood korean so simply didn't include subtitles for all the korean dialog. One episode of Breaking Bad has like 20 minutes of Spanish dialogue and the version I downloaded (before it was all on Netflix) didn't have subtitles. I assumed that it wasn't supposed to since the scene does such a good job of conveying what's going on.

Looks like Jimmy Carr might finally get the cancelling that he's so pathetically desperate for if this continues: https://twitter.com/zarahsultana/status/1489651611509170179?t=D4OOX2JbLPCQaXz_zbJDxg&s=19 Fwiw the special was out months ago so it's weird it's only just been noticed.

Insurers often send cheques as a first option, partly because it's cheaper and less admin to use an automated process than gathering someone's account details, partly because there's a chance they just won't be cashed for whatever reason.

Gyro Zeppeli posted:https://twitter.com/ianvisits/status/1495359773889470468 Last time I was in Oxford street I tried to count how many there were between the station and Tottenham Court Road. I think I lost count at 15 or so, all empty.

goddamnedtwisto posted:Yeah, all the little camera and electronics shops have gone from Tottenham Court Road. I should feel some schad that the block between the YMCA and the Odeon that got cleared out for ~PREMIUM RETAIL SPACE~ is still almost entirely unoccupied 5 years after they closed down Shah's and all the other shops that were the heart of the street, but it's just sad that what *is* there is just absolutely generic high street chains, because I've seen what's happened to literally every other high street that's gone that way, and nobody's going into Zone 1 to visit Flying Tiger and Games Workshop. It always baffles me how busy these areas still are given that there's just not that much to do there anymore. I'm sure a lot of tourists are still drawn there but most of the time Oxford Street and TCR are completely rammed. What are these people doing? Surely they can't all be there for H&M and Pizza Express.

The Perfect Element posted:I'm trying to think of who's ever actually been 'cancelled' for anything other than really heinous poo poo like holocaust denial or being a lunatic bellend like Laurence Fox. Like, a bunch of people hate Rowling cos of her terfery, but its not like her books have been taken off the shelves in shops. Real cancellation isn't something that affects celebrities. If you're famous you're insulated from all but the worst of accusations - and even then you either get a cancellation tour and a new far right fanbase or you quietly retreat from public life and continue living a life of luxury without any obligations. It's the "normal" people or the very mildly well known who say something a bit thoughtless or ill conceived on Twitter that are at risk of having their lives ruined if it gets picked up by the wrong people or goes viral.
