Happens with americans too… they seem to completely miss sarcasm sometimes. Humour is very cultural (and often plays into things a native of the country would know but someone outside sometimes wouldn’t).

It’s 1000 pages apparently, and applies equally to lemmy/mastodon servers.

So unless you’re into reading lots of legal text, running a server in the UK just got a whole lot messier.

‘nudge’ sure…

‘Unless you regrow that limb we’ll cut you off and take your house’

That kind of nudge.

Do it young is the biggest thing… once they’re adults it’s much harder because you’re overcoming existing fear.

You only get a few days a year but we took them outside and let them watch, showed them we weren’t scared… they both find the pretty lights fascinating, and being able to see what is making the whistles and bangs helps I think.

Sometimes need to reinforce it with the younger one, although this year he’s been mostly fine. The older one doesn’t GAF.

We made a point of giving our dogs firework training when they were young and it’s paid off… they’re currently both asleep, completely uninterested in whatever the humans are up to.

TBH that doesn’t surprise me… I had a minor spat over the existence of a local supermarket, of all the stupid things… Wiki said it had been refused planning permission and never built. I had shopped in there many times, and could link to many articles about the fully built existing supermarket. I gave up after the second revert because it’s just not worth it.

Clearly he can’t handle the truth…

And 1066. I can’t remember what actually happened then but the year is burned into my brain.

Lots of henry VIII and of course the gunpowder plot every year in November.

“She would have expected people to name figures such as Quintus Lollius Urbicus, who became governor of Roman Britain; the formerly enslaved Olaudah Equiano, who became an abolitionist and writer; Mary Seacole, who provided sustenance and care for British soldiers during the Crimean war, and the composer Samuel Coleridge-Taylor.”

I’ve literally never heard of any of these people… schools don’t cover them - I couldn’t name any white romans either from the UK… Obviously I’ve heard of some of the emperors, but that’s it.

It goes deeper than that. They encouraged Hamas.

Does she realize what a complete arsehole that makes her look? She’d rather go to jail than treat people like human beings?

They lost them automatically already… they’re simply not getting them back from the new king. I’m not sure why they’re so shocked…

Any company that, as they claim, needs that approval to survive didn’t have much of a product to start with.

I’m in my mid 50s now and I haven’t got more racist… I’ve got angrier that things that were wrong in my youth are still wrong now, angrier at politicians that claim to represent me spouting racist bullshit. But if anything I’m more left wing than I was, and I’m definitely more liberal than I was 10 years ago.

We got offered 4 day weeks… most people didn’t take it although I note a couple did as they’re not around on Fridays any more.

I have enough work to do without compressing it into less time…

I hear she’s got a nice sideline going in Dalmatian coats.

In most of the UK yes, subject to local council byelaws - eg. locally the rule is if you can’t get a wheelchair past, you get a ticket (although enforcement is basically non-existent).

In London it is actually illegal.

I got offered a more expensive product for free if I’d change my review. So I changed it to 1 star instead. Judging by the glowing reviews a lot of people took the offer.

What a knob.
