“what has the BBC ever done for me”

It’s part of their campaign to try and beg people not to abandon the licence fee.

So, what has the BBC done for me?

Erased my culture. There.

One of my in-laws is a member of the constabulary.

And I have made my views on Zionism, and our complicity in the genocide of Palestinians clear.

Whilst I know personally they are socially aware (surprising I know for a copper) these comments usually illicit distinct silence. Obviously a level of professionalism.

But I’ve made it known, I would rather be arrested, tried, and even imprisoned, than to be silent. Then maybe one day in the future when good overcomes evil… I will be on the right side of history.

I would like to express interest in becoming sub commander.

People of the world. Hear my wisdom as an “old”

In the before times of home computing, anyone and their mother could make and try to sell video games, floppy disks and cassettes were plentiful. The barrier to entry was essentially non-existent. You could get fully fledged games in magazines. (In fact some magazines included the actual programme for you to type out yourself)

But it turns out when publishers just shovel slop onto the market it drowns out good quality Indy stuff and even some of the high production value games. This feels quite similar to before the great video game crash.

There’s a reason Nintendo started putting their “Nintendo seal of quality” on their games. To try and reassure buyers that they didn’t just shovel slop people mailed in. At one point you even had to send them a video tape with evidence the game could even be completed. Interestingly that seal is still found on their games.

We’ve almost returned to that state of low barrier to entry. Digital distribution means there is no real difficulty in physically producing and distributing the game. AI makes it so that anyone’s half baked idea can be shoved on Steam.

Don’t get me wrong there are many excellent games that would have struggled to make a name for themselves using steams old green light system.

There are two people in my life from Greece. One left because they didn’t believe the culture would ever accept them. They are quite Alt and T. My partner 😊

The other who is non-binary and ace remains there. They say that slowly some people are more accepting, but it is very slow.

We actually had a conversation not that long ago about being non-binary in a country that uses an inherently gendered language. I haven’t had to speak or live in Greece for 10 years but still know how difficult it can be.

All that to say. I’m sure you’re not alone, but fully understand how lonely it can feel.

😂 says Russia Today 😂

Russian mouthpiece Farage says Ukraine is corrupt, and definitely not his master Putin.

When I was around 20(M) my older boss regularly tried it on with me. She always tried to lean into me with her large chest. Then one day she basically exposed herself to me.

Another coworker said she did this with him too. Eventually we both explained this to upper management and she was gone within the week.

I always felt bad because Iin this case it was addressed quickly. Yet I know if my female co workes were in a similar situation… Well, I hear enough to believe that the story would be different. For the worse.
