I mean, this whole thing happened before Musk was even born, but the point still stands. Divide and rule.

Even though I bought the expansion and haven't even played a single second of it yet (factorio burn out is real). It's still the cheapest game I've ever legally acquired in terms of £/s

Really really well. Haven't encountered a single game that didn't run flawlessly.

One of my all time favourite movie watching experiences was me and my brother watching Robocop (the original) which we taped off ITV, must have been 9 or 10.

All the gratuitous violence was still entirely in place, but all the swear words were dubbed into more palatable versions. Strangest was that we specifically recorded it when it aired at about midnight anyway so way past the time the swearing was usually considered OK.

Me and my brother still call each other "buddy funkster" all the time.

No, you're just reducing both your speed until it reaches a safe point for them to be that close behind you.

The greatest movie review of all time is Roger Ebert's review of Pearl Harbor:

“Pearl Harbor” is a two-hour movie squeezed into three hours, about how on Dec. 7, 1941, the Japanese staged a surprise attack on an American love triangle. Its centerpiece is 40 minutes of redundant special effects, surrounded by a love story of stunning banality. The film has been directed without grace, vision, or originality, and although you may walk out quoting lines of dialog, it will not be because you admire them.

The idea is called Hypernormalisation. Everyone knows what they're being told is a lie, most don't care, some do but a powerless to do anything about it, the rest are actively perpetuating the lie.

Excellent documentary about it by Adam Curtis which is watchable here: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Gr7T07WfIhM

You're a meaningless comparison

Dumpster apparently

Because most of the people you interact with online, in English, tend to be Americans, so it often helps to clarify your point in terms that are more familiar with Americans to save confusion. I've been completely misinterpreted in the past by talking about pants (meaning underpants) where my audience thought I was talking about pants (meaning trousers).

And as if to prove my point, there is in fact a different word, though it seems a more generic term than the rather specific British English skip, that is dumpster.

The original crackdown, the only movable object that was completely indestructible were the big yellow skips (don't know what Americans call them).

Would play in coop with one character fixed in a spot to stop them despawning and see how many I could gather from around the map and bring back. You could only carry them in your arms preventing you from driving and climbing the taller buildings, forcing you into unconventional routes through the city, often while being shot. Think I got about 20 as my record before having to sign off.

DOW dropped more points in 48 hours than there are in total in the UK FTSE100. 🤣
