It seems as though we are going backwards. We were doing so well in realising that all human beings are worthy individuals with emotional and intellectual depth, yet now so many of us don’t seem to see any problem with society encouraging many to reduce themselves to sexual objects. How is this rationalised?...
Sexuality being normalised isn't a bad thing but have you seen the state of porn lately? the front page of any given porn tube site is such that you cannot have a wank in peace without seeing abusive 'taboo' stuff mostly around incest and women being spat on and strangled. I can't believe that this is some agenda being pushed, they produce this content according to demand. This is to say nothing of the even darker stuff with revenge porn and trafficked teenagers etc. Porn can be fine if ethically produced, the current state of it is fucked up

I remember reading the change of heart by the environmental activist / journalist George Monbiot[0] some years ago when he described in public why the fukushima disaster changed his opinion on nuclear power[1]
It's old but worth a read and is the reason why I still think that although the industry might be run by cunts (name one that isn't) nuclear power isn't a bad option in/of itself
To add to this, repeats with added sign language were (are?) often broadcast late at night because you were meant to set your video to record them to use as teaching materials. wasn't just sign language, a lot of the videos shown in school was stuff that had been taped from 3am
Just tried using only Firefox and uBO, that link and the main page load correctly first time and on refresh. Checked with default filters only and default plus annoyances and both were fine. Do you have any other ad blocker / content filter running at the same time?
I’m looking for a single player game, first person or third person, but something more action or role-play oriented. Not particularly a fan of turn based combat...
Good suggestions here, I disliked Greedfall* and KOA as well, but found Dragon's Dogma so good that I finished it on xbox and again on pc. If you like playing for the story it's pretty barebones but the ending is great, and the combat and character building (+sidekick building) are better than anything else. it holds up pretty well for a 2012 release, but make sure to play the Dark Arisen version as it added easier fast travel. It is bound to be on sale as the sequel comes out in March
*Greedfall is much more story driven but you can't avoid occasional combat
Not saying it doesn't happen but I've seen this said a few times now, and have never heard of anyone who actually refuses to clean their arse. Have I just lived a sheltered life or what?
When I was looking for a new phone I gave up and bought a usb c dac/amp from Fiio. Ended up buying a phone from Sony which does have a 3.5 port (and sd card too) but continue to use the dongle anyway as it sounds better. Use it 2-3 times a week
Honestly expected to roll my eyes at the article (especially as it's from the times) but this looks like a great initiative and Kariem El-Boghdadly who designed it, from an admittedly brief search for him, seems to know his onions. Not bad at all
I semi remember an interview with the guy from nickelback who said (obviously paraphrasing) that he studied the songs that reached number one in the rock chart, and noted that, ok they have this tempo, they have a key change here, etc etc, and set out to make a song that had those qualities. very successfully as it turned out.
there's the same sort of essential cynicism (and subsequent success) with the oatmeal
regardless of what bullshit gets posted on twitter or facebook or wherever, anonimity on the internet (and irl where practical) is fine and good in its own right and your ability to remain anonymous should be preserved

Why do some TV broadcasts show a person translating it to sign language instead of using subtitles?
I assume there must be a reason why sign language is superior but I genuinely don’t know why.
