Twinnings is my usual. Pukka, mostly for herbies, and various supermarket ownbrands (not each of them’s cheapest ownbrand mind you). Yorkshire is decent, PG tips OK but I never buy the latter myself.

Guizhou Mao Jian (毛尖) of various brands is decent too, if you can find it. More commonly I love an English Breakfast, Earl and Lady Grey, Rooibos, and various herbal concoctions.

Edit: nicest brand of tea I had was TWG, and they were amazing. Too expensive for me to ever buy for myself, though.

TV shows:
Babylon Berlin - nearing the end of the first series. It’s been very good so far. Heartily recommend.

Atlanta - Working my way through series 4. Don’t think it has hit the highs of S3 so far, but still enjoying it a lot. Well worth watching all the same.

Films: Cam - ultimately underwhelming psychological horror that didn’t do enough with the premise I think. Not bad, but just perhaps not ambitious or exploratory enough with its comceit.

El Conte - another great premise, but ultimately underwhelming film. Went in wanting to love it and it started well, but botched the landing. Maybe if I was a leftist chilanos it’d have resonated with me more, but the whole “it’s all corrupt and they all knew” thing just fell flat. I wanted it to go beyond that. Some good moments and nicely shot scenes though.

It’s not.

It’s just reposting 4chan stuff. That post is fine, but look over the community and you’ll find a lot of punching down and the odd dog whistle post.

FFX-2 has a great battle system, and job based FFs were always the most rewarding to play.

XIII was the point I just decided I didn’t care any more. (Also, there’s no way that XIII gets to count as retro already, right?)

An actual rush is a very all in strategy, just don’t fall too far behind on making combat units and you’ll be fine.

Its as true in AoE2 as it is in Starcraft(pick one).

Great fun games, tickle me in a different way to slower, absolutely no rush, 4X games.

Still some of the best party shooters out there. A plethora of game modes, and a co-op story mode as well. The original and FP are great games. 2 took itself a little too seriously in my opinion (and didn’t have character select lines) for it to match up to quite the same level.

And in my day we couldn’t just send boomers to bed with a hand wave, we had to sit through the Clintons’ saxophone show first and then we…

You’re wrong, but I’m glad you have had fun and I hope that TESVI isn’t a micro transaction fuelled pile of tripe.

Yup, that’s the one.

Has Bethesda actually released a decent game since Daggerfall?

I’m not sure the guy invoking Soros is meant to be taken seriously or sympathetically.

Edit: also the artist is the Jewish artist Eli Valley, apparently.

And this is why, little bushes, we must always have birds and give to them our first sprung berries on tribute.

Which creates a space where people with personal affiliations get away with it and gather. And then when called out on their shit, tell the “for the lulz” crowd that people are coming for their freedom.

Thanks for the explanatory text.

“Destroyed”? Could we perhaps use more specific language?

Does this petition mean shut down, or a loss of bug fixing and anti-hacker support, or something else?

It may be, but even knowing all that it is hardly helpful advice, and at least out of context and not knowing the people talking doesn’t seem to contain empathy or sympathy.
And is devoid of criticism of the actual leaker of the photos.

You’re not wrong.

But I also don’t think it’s a big delta in risk chance in a lot of cases, meanwhile in some parts of the world (looking at you East Asia) spy cameras are a huge problem.

There are, I imagine millions of nude photos taken that never leak.

I think a reason many feminists feel strongly on the issue is that it really throws society’s whore-virgin paradigm into relief, where women with sexuality are pushed to take the blame for their actions without much (any) consideration for them as people. Which is the reason “just don’t take them” gets the hostile reaction it does, and is a ridiculed response.

OK so because it’s selfies, so person 1 is responsible for her images leaking in a way person 2 is not?

Or do you feel that selfies are a level above and beyond just nude photos by virtue of having been self taken? If so, what sets nude selfies apart from sexy photos taken by a long term partner if anything?

I was interested in seeing if they felt differently about photos taken ones self in a ratively secure and trusted setting and then the photo was taken without permission versus an actual taken without permission.

OK, explain.

And if we’re talking about personal responsibility, to what extent you think it differs.
