My family and I were watching TV and there was an anal sex scene. My Mum casually said they make it look surprisingly easy on TV, it really isn't that easy. I have been receiving therapy for this ever since.

This week I have built a WS2008R2 RDS deployment. Don't ask. I have (re)learned a load of new (old) skills that I will probably (hopefully) never need again. I may never get clean again.

Very wrong. Electricity and gas privatisation at least nominally made sense. They have a shared, independent distribution Infrastructure, making competition possible. Water is a natural monopoly and sold as a collection of monopolies. We got fleeced accordingly.

I trust (I do not) that Reform's new DOGE will not be following the American version's pattern of data theft. I do not consent to anyone as slippery as Aaron Banks being allowed anywise near my personal information.

So, I think it's time I begin, in detailed specifics, talking about the mess that is Unbound / Boundless as a book publisher, in essence stealing most of a years royalties from me and many other authors, as a result of poor financial decisions, and legal BS. Please read and share this thread.

So who gets the Europa League place for winning this, then? We're in the CL, Betis qualified for it for their league position.

We've got the set! Just as well, don't want to ever be in this competition again. #CFC. CL all the way, baby!

How dodgy is this referee? I reckon he's looking for a chance to send Palmer off.

"The products you love are tangibly worse. We're richer than ever, especially after all those layoffs. We're also building giant data centers that cost billions of dollars to force new and bad features into products you're already mad at, at the low cost of "the environment and every work of art."

Americans put sugar in all kinds of dishes that don’t require it. And one of the main reasons for this national aberration is … Prohibition. 🧵

I'd close my account, but since I last used Twitter (and it was still Twitter) they introduced 2FA and now I can't log in.

I am not at all in favour of this current trend of not capitalising all the letters in an acronym. For starters, it's UEFA. There is no such word as Uefa, not even as a proper noun. Just stop it.
