three consecutive youtube thumbnails, dated 11, 9, and 4 years ago, showing simone’s transition from having fun with a channel woman in a cute fascinator to hugo boss chic

Gee, I wonder what about the time period from 2015 to 2020 would have prompted the transformation from “occasional youtuber who goofily wears fascinators and cute nerdy graphic tees” to “hugo boss chic”. Must have just been her own changing tastes, couldn’t possibly be related to anything else.

Also, I was perfectly able to figure out you meant Austria just by searching Child Corporate Punishment Laws on wikipedia for the string "1977".

If you walked by some strangers having a conversation with each other out in public and one of them said something you didn’t understand, would you go running up to them saying “please don’t talk to each other without explaining everything to me, I think you’re making stuff up because I don’t have all the context”?

(You would not.)

If you have something to ask OP, ask it. Politely. Don’t come in to somebody else’s conversation demanding context and calling them a liar.

Oh man. All the real boys / in their black jeans / called me crazy.

You saw another reference to girlyman? There was a period a decade ago when I played their music constantly and went to every show I could.)

My vibe is that the Guardian UK still thinks it's a left wing feminist stance to be transphobic ^1^, and unrelatedly, the Collins articles keep getting printed because everyone involved


the Collinses, their PR people, the Guardian -- know perfectly well what ragebait is. A click is a click.

1: Somehow. What the hell is in the water in the UK? ^2^

2: Cryptosporidium

I'm not sure they have theory of mind, TBH.

Honestly any day the Guardian isn't publishing transphobia wearing a feminism mask is a good day for them.

My Windows machines have all been skinned to work like XP for 20 years, and sometimes I have to use other people's computers and I don't even understand how they get anything done. My start menu is predictable and the items in it are in the same place and with the same keystrokes every day. There's no ads in it. It doesn't tell me the weather or the sports scores when I don't ask for them. My taskbar shows me the names of all the windows I have open. This should all be normal.

The whole debacle astounds me. Is there a more universally privileged application users frequently use than the shell? As a general rule it can elevate privs to full control far more aggressively than any other commonly used application, with minimal sandboxing at most.

I got no Spotify, and I buy a lot off bandcamp.

I asked a RH friend about this and they told me that they just had a breathless all hands about it.
