Mate… Read it again. The irony here is almost too strong.

Is the last samurai a story about Stockholm syndrome too?

What about dances with wolves? Avatar?

In a thread about a word being ingrained in our culture, where’s the joke in claiming another word is also ingrained in our culture?

I may be wrong, but it seemed pretty sincere to me.

What makes you think that?

Ah, you must be from gen Z.

Yes new generations will continually be created and older generations will always sneer at them.

Do they…?

I’ll be honest, I haven’t heard anyone say that ever when using a phone.

Maybe “videos” as a verb but generally “records” in my experience

No squash is very different to fresh juice. It’s also called cordial but cordial tends to be far “syruppier” and may be slightly different, I’m not sure.

You mix 1 part squash with 6ish parts water (depending on preferred strength) and drink.

Ribena and Robinsons are the squash kings in the UK, just a very easy way to mix up some flavoured water basically.

Pitch it well and I may do, crowd funding isn’t a bad thing imo.

If you were pitching a sequel to an already successfully game with a studio attached and funding secured then no, I would not.

My wife is half Jamaican and half Iranian, she went to a school in a very working class part of a very ethnically diverse city in the UK, with most of the school having a familial origin in the middle east or India.

She was routinely bullied for being black and called the N word on a daily basis. She was made to feel like a troublemaker for reporting it to teachers and eventually snapped, her kickboxing lessons helped her break a boy’s nose with a kick to the face after years of abuse, and she got suspended for it while nobody ever faced any consequences for their racism.

People don’t want to punish wrongdoing, they want to keep things “simple” and not have to deal with anything they feel awkward about, so they ignore the repeated “small” incidents and only acted to punish the retaliation because it’s deemed disproportionate. Years of racism to the point of having no friends because people were scared of being seen to sympathise apparently isn’t as damaging as an afternoon in A+E and some minor discomfort for a week or so. Fuck that school and fuck this mentality.

This story seems like a worse version and we’re 20 years on. I’m sure it happens way more than we see in stories like these, they’re just swept under the rug and hope nobody calls them on it. Fuck this backwards ass world.

I will never install Linux because I’ll never trust that it’ll be easier to use than windows, and that’s all I want.

I can’t count the number of people that have told me I should be on Linux and that if I use Mint it’ll be a piece of perfect cake, despite me also seeing comments like this on a pretty regular basis.

Why is it that so much of the community REFUSES to acknowledge any shortcomings? Almost like it’s their child and you’re personally attacking their parenting by suggesting its not flawlessly simple.

I don’t get this mentality. I’ve rented for over a decade and always wall mounted my TVs. It’s not tricky to unmount and fill in 6 or 8 holes with a bit of filler.

Do some renters really not hang pictures or put up shelves either? The effort to correct it is probably less work than it is to hang in the first place.

You might be blinded by your own country’s prices there mate, but even considering that, not many people are calling any $400 TV “high end”.

By all means have a look on UK amazon (or any UK store) for a new 55in screen for under £200 though…

A high end tv is over a grand, whether that’s from US Walmart or UK John Lewis. What “high end” TV can you show me advertised at $400? Lets keep it simple and just say any OLED 55in screen. Not particularly high end necessarily but I bet you can’t find a $400 one, in fact I doubt you’ll find one for 3figures.

I just checked Walmart US and not sure how you arrived at 240. The absolute cheapest 55in TV is 250. Where you get 240 average i have no idea, maybe a few TVs elsewhere but they’re at the absolute bottom rung for quality and we’re talking about affordable TVs , not budget ones.

People very upset that a company which exists to make money has used the cheaper option for the part of a TV that 80% of buyers will leave in the box anyway.

I saw a comment suggesting that it must only be $5 to add a proper stand. TCL made 30million TVs last year so that’s a substantial bonus for whoever made that choice.

Breaking news! Budget TV has budget parts!

I call 370 an affordable TV, I searched the word tv and that was my 3rd result. If you wanted a good deal I would search for more than 15seconds, but that’s how long it took to find the first tv that matched the criteria.

Take a look at the 5th too, $400 for a 55in, plenty affordable!

Nice :)

That’s a black Friday sale price. And in typical black Friday fashion it’s been advertised to make it look as appealing as possible, that TV doesn’t sell for 500 anywhere.

Either way, there’s a difference between a budget TV and an affordable TV. You can pick up a TV with a base for £300 pretty easily, and I’d definitely consider that affordable.

Have you considered buying one with feet and spending $30 on a vesa stand to solve the issue?

A 55in TCL is £63 more than the one I linked in the UK.

How cheap are your TVs!? You’re getting 55in screens for under $200?

So original. I havent heard that one 13 times already today.

Do you think there might be a reason you hear it a lot…?
