No, nor do i have VHS tapes. Oh you got me good, well done you.

Completely unrelated thought - are Arsenal the only club in England to not have a placename in their name?

I know they were originally Woolwich Arsenal, but they dropped the Woolwich when they moved from there.

And, of course, the big problem is, they always try to walk it in.

its a lot easier to train people to code than it is to teach them good design.

i remember years ago reading a tweet, i'm paraphrasing but it went something like:

"I love how men go from 'I'm gonna conquer the world!!' to 'im gonna sit here and paint my model figures'"

I think about it a lot, and your comment made me think of it again.

Flight sims are my 'model railways'

for me its the abilty to 'switch off'

I play Euro Truck Simulator 2 (ets) and its my happy place, its just zen, Sometimes i will have a plugin that will get me local radio stations and i will cruise through italy and greece listening to talk shows in languages i don't understand, sometimes i will do it listening to the rumble of the truck, and i switch off, and allow my thoughts to run free.

I've recently started getting into flight sims, and i'm looking for the same sort of thing with that (the only problem with ets is the graphics still looks like a 2013 game) and i think i will get there, its just i'm at the 'learning to fly' stage, and thats kinda difficult. Well, actually flying is surprisingly easy, landing is the tricky bit ;-)

> They actual made actual progress, and thus are hated by many calling themselves progressives.

Y'know.... i dunno man, i'm not so sure its the 'stopping' that makes them hated by those calling themselves progressives?

Exactly this. But unfortunately this is all causing quite the distraction into those foreign crypto donations

I'm not sure what point you are trying to make here.

My point is this, none of these people ever make a point of how much freedom they had, because after a couple hundred years they stopped, quite like the the brits like to.

It's pretty baffling tbh.

Anyone: criticises the British empire.

Brits: after several hundred years of brutal trans Atlantic slave trade, we stopped. Hurrah!

Compared to its contemporaries, only Portugal transported more African slaves across to the America's.

But hey, they stopped doing it, after a couple hundred years so let's everyone give Britain credit.

Eric Williams: “British historians write almost as if Britain had introduced Negro slavery solely for the satisfaction of abolishing it.

> Now, true virtue signalling is saying X to change the perception but yet doing 100 evil things in the background.

No, thats hypocrisy.

There are. But also.. so much drama. Like soooo much drama

I'm going to edit this: much of this is rails, we know why that is, so apologies to rubyists

Nah, I live in the UK, prices are higher than eu, public service is much worse, but public are voting for the party with members that brought this about.

Humans are weird.
