That definitely*should* be how things work, but equally that's just gonna end up with Viacom, Viacom Canada, Viacom TV solutions, Vi@com, xXViacomXx and Viacom42069 claiming instead

I am of course joking, 😉 gambling is *highly* illegal

What, do you not do all that highly illegal betting on the Celtic game while drinking transparent beer from beer glasses in the world's biggest pub? We do that in Glasgow all the time!

The first season of Heroes is incredible TV and then they opened season two in “Ireland” and the less we say about that the better.

The old man in the mountains. I'm not sure if that predates seeing puppet Freddy on TV at my cousins, but stop motion and puppets are very much "of the devil" for me.

It's a little known fact that Kaminoans in attack of the clones seems into the UV spectrum, and before they started housing thousands of bored teenage Jangos Fett, the walls were all plain black

Something AI is responsible for that doesn't get enough talk: How, when it scrapes a website to illegally steal everything on it, it uses up a ton of its bandwidth allotment, crashing it or racking up massive fees for site owners.

But I do totally agree with you. The media here have treated two former "national treasures" as essentially interchangeable (Huw Edwards and Phillip Schofield) despite the fact that Edwards had CSA images, while Schofield was just having a slightly problematic age/power gap relationship with a man

There was a company that made these excellent pill bottles that used a little pressure seal so you could see how long it had been since they were last opened, no setup needed. Anyway, the batteries eventually drained on mine and turns out they had to stop doing business because of tariffs

They *still* don't seem to get that it's not that the public are terrified of the picture box stealing their souls, and need to be educated, but rather that nobody wants AI as it currently exists, and the picture box *is* stealing our likeness rights

10-panel SMBC comic update. All the panels are dialogue-less. Two researchers are writing equations on a chalkboard. A janitor watches them from afar. The researchers leave as the janitor is still mopping the floor. The janitor walks up to the chalkboard and writes on it with purpose, admires what he wrote, and leave late in the evening. The two researchers return at dawn, and are shocked by what is written on the blackboard. Over their half-erased equations, the text "ChatGPT, do a breakthru, no mistakes, thankx."

I know there's a few places in Scotland (in particular, there's one in Crail) that could maybe pass for Florida/South west US if the weather holds, big sandstone housing estates with wide driveways/roads, but I think you'll have a hard time with these ones

Between "when the wind blows" (a film I am terrified by despite never having actually watched) and a visit to the secret bunker in fife, I have to say, this is fucking terrifying. And I was born in the 90s.

S.Peggie loses on every point apart from the administrative failures of NHS systems. GC lawyers have wasted NHS time and resources for a vanity project with net-zero result for them or Peggie. The aim is never to win legally but use the story to lobby politically through media.

So many boomer woes come from "tradition" and "family values" as spackle over cruel abusive self-excusing behavior. Now they're upset because the spackle isn't doing what it said on the tin. They expect their kids to tank years of abuse, but can't tank hours of therapy or even minutes of remorse.

remember how people debated if the dog in Good Boy was an actor? and its owner went, No of course not, he just follows instructions well. this is like that except Tilly Norwood hasn't been in a movie and the owner is saying, Yes of course, because it follows instructions well, and then it doesn't

Don't watch the new Harry Potter series. Not even if you plan on keeping your HBO subscription because of other movies and shows on the platform. Not even if you pirate it. Do not watch it.

I quite like dip pens/quills, but at the same time it's like "oh yeah, that's still just my handwriting". Also, and maybe this is a Scotland/UK thing, but marriage certificates need to be signed using a fountain pen
