The government just committed to giving everyone access to high speed internet, but knowing what we know now about the far right maybe we should be taking access away...
Mate it’s leaking all around the world. My maw, a 63 year old Scottish woman on the west coast fell into that right wing pipeline and started sending me fucking videos of Ben Shapiro! Wasn’t long before I cut my “family” out of my life . I’ve three kids who are LGBTQ+ and I’ll be fuckin’ damned if I’m gonna let these troglodytes get any influence over my kids. Paradox of tolerance has never been more relevant than it is now. Fuck the lot of them.
Suddenly making broadband internet available to everyone is a priority when it’s easier than ever to turn someone into a queerphobic automaton on the internet.
Johnny Bravo hasn't aged well for this and other reasons. The character himself was funny in the way he acted like a dorkier, blonder version of Elvis though. I remember thinking it was funny in the past, but then again, I was a child.
As a Satanist, I’d like to, on behalf of the rest of us, say that we (and Satan) do NOT endorse Threads and Meta AT ALL. I will not stand for the absolute slander. Satan is far and beyond the Zuck morally.
It’s sad that the same people who want their god to reign supreme over everyone and everything always seem to make him so weak that even an icon is dangerous. It must be utterly exhausting to be so threatened all the time.
I’ve always wondered if reading lips is like something that comes naturally to people or is it mostly something learned. Also how good can you get at it? Is 80-90% accuracy attainable? Is it only the mouth movement necessary to read lips or do you need the whole face?
My stepfather went entirely deaf in one ear in during a welding accident. He is able to read lips REALLY well.
My mom isn’t deaf at all, but she can read lips pretty good. She used to be a speech therapist for young children, so I assume her study of what the mouth looks like when making certain sounds is the cause of her lip-reading skills.
I’ve tried learning to read lips and I just can’t. I feel like I’d need to be deaf myself in order to learn how to do it.
