if you wear a casio watch, the only way to set an alarm is to give it to a two-year-old and let them play with it. the only way to turn the alarm off is to bump your wrist on something eight weeks later. there is no other way to turn the alarm on or off

Saw a photo of a BART operator from the 70s and incredible energy

Some of these might be funny...as a one off. But that's the thing: You can pull the joke once. Maybe twice if you can get a new angle. But then you are done. You've either got to find something new to mash up, or you are running the joke into the ground. And of course, it needs heart, not AI

The HEMA club discord were talking groin protection earlier today. And lemme tell you, I nearly replied with "of course, there is another option, but it takes years of NHS waiting lists before they let you do it" But I'm not sure enough of them would get it for it to be worth explaining.

Sagat from "Street Fighter" is based on a real guy, Sagat Petchyindee. Both of his eyes are fine but sometimes he'll put on an eyepatch for fun in tribute to the character

For me....It's been at a roughly similar level for the last couple of years. I'll get a call every week or so on average. There tend to be clusters - I suspect whatever system is autodialing catches that my number is "live" and gives it a few tries in relatively close succession.

If you ever want a window into the state of trans healthcare in the UK, look at the comments under a GenderGP (the usual private option for when the NHS fails you) advert It's not the fact that it's full of rampant transphobia. That's not unexpected TBH, it's an advert on social media.

The film is written, directed, and co-stars Hitoshi Ozawa, a legendary Yakuza actor who is a villain in Yakuza 0, who got his fellow legends involved. This was his passion project inspired by one of his best friends, a trans woman, and he worked with the community for representative casting.

While I think this is partially true, there's also a lot of survivorship bias. The part that's been happily running for 15 years? Well that's old from before they got bad. That part that failed 15 years ago after 1 year? That was from when they where starting to get bad.

"You will never defeat us" is a very funny thing to say after you've just bailed everyone who was involved in whatever the fuck this was
All five men arrested in RAF base plot are British nationals
The five men who were arrested and subsequently released on bail are all British citizens, home secretary Shabana Mahmood has just told the Labour party conference.

She adds that the scene is “now safe” and the residents living near to the RAF base are now able to return home.

“Let this be a reminder: you will never defeat us,” he says.
