You’re confusing gen x for boomers.

I used to think that but then I read about Eric Gill’s crimes (Gill Sans font) and now I can’t look at it. Don’t look it up, by the way.

I’m 50 and it’s started getting noticeable in the last year or two.

Ironically they don’t tip in Japan.

You appear to be either genuinely thick or willfully disenguous. Let me spell it out for you. I’ve been called a Brit many times, but unlike when I’ve been called a paki it’s not usually associated withh a threat of violence, spitting or similar behaviour. Perhaps it might be in some places in the world. But not in most the UK. Bar perhaps slivers of Northern Ireland.

It’s not targeted at people from Pakistan particularly, it’s applied to anyone of vaguely South Asian appearance.

Not quite as severe, but same ballpark.

I remember years ago at a world cup Iran and USA played each other, and started the match by exchanging flowers and gifts.

There were a lot of sliding tackles iirc.

I took objection to a song promoting or normalising choking.

Zfs, nfs, ssh, wireguard.

Isn’t it alias for git praise?

Might be more to do with the royalist Iranian flags then.

That is the plot of a Richard Harris (?) book. The guy who wrote fatherland and archangel.

I didn’t realise people actually self-identified as tankies. That’s really interesting. Thank you for broadening my conceptions.

No need to apologise. I just visualised Trump’s puckered mouth. All mind-expanding.

arsehole cunt

My brain tries to visualise things when I read and this… was tricky to do.

That picture is totally armless.

Absolutely stupid, you say? Hmmm.

It’s an observation of Marx, I think correct, that society organises in a manner aligned around the means of production. Agrarian -> feudal, industrial -> capitalist etc. I think the essential distinguishing feature of software vs capital goods is that software can be copied without the loss of the original. Hence I think the concept of ownership fails and the mode of production becomes anarchist.

It’s OK they can use children instead. Or something.
