"Harlotmedia!"

Re: feral kids.

When I was young there were twins that would try and bully other kids. They beat one boy pretty badly so that boy's father went round the twins house and gave their dad a bit of a beating telling him to get his kids under control or he'd get more of the same. Some of the bullying stemmed off and they moved away about a year later. Not sure how effective the parenting was as one twin OD and another spent a lot of time in and out of prison.

Had something similar in my town.
Two brothers, father was a drug dealer forced out of their last town, and mother a Vicky Pollard who ditched the kids every chance she got.
The kids stole from shops, beat up all kids smaller than themselves, and if you said anything to them the parents would be around accusing you that you attacked them.
So they got away with a lot of poo poo over the years.
Elder one is in prison now for following his fathers footsteps, and gave his girlfriend a lethal dose of heroin.
Younger one was diagnosed with anger issues, but never got it treated and is heavily into steroids fighting anyone and everyone still over minor things.

For a split second in the early 80s, "Lenny" became a term for you-know-what, based on the Peter Adamson allegations. (He played Len Fairclough in Coronation Street.)

That makes sense of what I saw.
I did not know that about the bloke, and I saw online a dubbed Coronation Street episode where the character was in court for something, but the dub was about what he was irl accused of.
Thought it was weird, the dub wasn't in good taste or such, just weird.

What’s this about chrome stopping ad blockers?

https://www.theverge.com/2022/6/10/23131029/mozilla-ad-blocking-firefox-google-chrome-privacy-manifest-v3-web-request

Basically they are preventing the more powerful ad blockers from working in real time to new forms of ads.
Currently, browsers can read the incoming data and decide if its an ad or not in real time, and can block that entire website domain thats sending them.
Usually ads are sent by ads.whatever.com or notso its easy to determine or keep a list to compare to.

Chrome says its going to remove the ad blocker ability to check the incoming data, so any new ads not recognized will get straight through.
Chrome is going to become how Netscape ended up, wall to wall ads for poo poo.

Publishers put out hardbacks early, have the jacket price at £20-25 & then they are sold by shops at usually £10-15 with a big fat £10 off sticker which makes you think you're getting a bargain so you better buy it!

Source: me, I buy my mam the new Ian Rankin novel every year for her birthday as they usually come out about a month before her birthday and I've never paid listed price for them, even when it came signed. It's a stupid marketing trick but it must work.

This isn't a recent development, and very few people actually buy the thing at £25.

Checked out the price of her book on Amazon.
The hardback is CHEAPER than it is on Kindle and on Paperback.
The paperback is 5 quid dearer.

Hardbacks are nice to have on your shelf or feel in your meaty hands, but they're not great to read.

Still, they would be the hardest of them to get to you, transport costs and such.
Yet they are cheaper than the loving electronic version.

The Question IRL posted:

:hmmyes:

Fun facts about Hellraiser.

The original Hellraiser book: Main character survives her encounter with Cenobites. Muses on how if there is a magic box that takes people to Hell, there must also be a magic box that lets people go into Heaven. But she will probably never find it.

The Hellraiser films: The Lament Configuration was commissioned by a French aristocrat who wanted to gently caress a Demon.

The original author, Clive Barker: The Hellraiser films are dumb because they called the head Cenobite Pinhead. I'm going to write a book where he kills everyone and goes by the totally unique and badass name of....The Hell Priest.

Edit: What a snipe. Time to pay the pet tax, Amy Whinehouse.



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

This is Hellraiser fan film where there is no more souls to harvest after a world war.
So what do the cenobites do then.

Also there was a guy who expanded on Merchand creating multiple puzzle boxes, and detailed him giving them out to 18th/19th century people who he liked or hated.
You can find his website here: http://www.pyramid-gallery.com
And buy his boxes, I got the Lament Configuration from him and its top quality. His other box design are hit or miss imo.

I think most people faced with the prospect of their energy bills rocketing up by 300 - 400% will just be like: "well, thank goodness they're doing something about it!"

They let 205,000 (and still increasing) die due to Covid.
They used it as an exercise to give themselves and rich mates PPE loans to then write off.
And are braying how they were best in the world with the vaccine and monitoring app when they weren't.
And people believe them.

They will do the same with energy prices.
If 200k can die and no one gives a poo poo, 50k or 100k people freezing or starving to death will be swept under the carpet too.
They will brag how Truss saved the country instead.
