Dead media theory

Yeah, that’s the kind of mindset that leads folk like you to believe the BBC is still a reputable institution.

I dread to think about your moral compass if you think the beeb is still worth defending. I gave up on the bbc in 2016, and it’s gotten so much worse since then.

40 foot clown island is not a place of honour.

Most of them barely speak english and think speaking another language means you’re an illegal immigrant.

I just wish it scaled better for mobile, the crossposted community’s comments are always weirdly cut off a bit on the left side of the screen and neither zooming or screen rotating changes this.

Yeah, that’s the one.

I started watching Invasion last night and it’s fantastic. So many strong actors, and while story isn’t particularly new, it’s gripping. Beautifully filmed too. Very much recommend!

Follow the money

It’s an odd post.

Lmao, yeah no it’s really not as simple as that.

Do you have any idea how long waiting lists are for adhd and autism assessments? Or how likely adhd is to be overlooked and treated as a personal failing in POC and girls/women?

I don’t know, honestly I was just guessing it was linked to various gene expressions. Many folk with adhd are very susceptible addictions, so I was kinda assuming if there was a gambling gene so to speak, it would be linked to that.

Yeah but actually addressing the route cause of addiction would require isolating the genes responsible and removing them, which is basically eugenics, no?

The other way of combating this would be for quality of life to increase dramatically across the board for everyone, as debilitating addiction is a trauma/stress response. But no government is going to do this, so it’s probably going to be eugenics if it is attempted.

Teenagers with adhd are going to suffer if they can’t self medicate with an easily accessible and relatively safe substance like caffeine.

Coupled with their recent micro-miniskirt post, I’m struggling not to believe this account isn’t some kind of altright tradwife training kink.

So what you’re saying here is that men are so dangerous and violent as a whole, that men need to protect themselves from the dangers of other men…

But women should stop taking precautions around men and stop constantly complaining about not wanting to get raped and murdered by men, because not all men are violent rapists and it hurts mens feelings?

And then when a woman is raped and murdered in her hotel room, men like you will be saying that she must have wanted it because she didn’t even take basic precautions to make sure no-one could get in.

So when women start taking these precautions, because generations of women before them have learnt from experience that when a man rapes you, it’s your fault for not taking precautions… men like you now complain that women are overly paranoid and making things worse for themselves, because their precautions are hurting your feelings.

Dispatches From Elsewhere.

This was so good for 9 whole, long ass episodes, and then the last episode just shat all over every single thing that had happened previously and resolved nothing, because it had to be meta and a dumb allegory for writing a script while overcoming alcoholism and it didn’t even make sense so it just meta-ed itself again to get out of having to tie up a single god damn story line.

Seriously though, the first episode is fantastic and beautiful and I do recommend watching it, but just don’t go past that because you will get invested in the story and have all your hopes crushed as not one iota of it pays off.

I’ve seen too many threads about obese pets where people with obese pets make excuses for their abuse and normalise their behaviour amongst themselves.

Pointing out ‘the obvious’ and calling it abuse whenever I see these threads, has become part of how I interact online and something I appreciate when I see others do it.

I genuinely didn’t realise that the users here were so in agreement with this viewpoint as to find it condescending to see it pointed out. This is really nice to hear, despite the downvotes.

I don’t understand why you’re mad at me for contributing to this discussion with something relevant to this topic.

I didn’t assume anything negative about the person I replied to.

You however are clearly assuming negative stuff about me and have gotten upset with me over these assumptions.
