Before the advent of motorized transport, an officer’s batman was also in charge of the officer’s “bat-horse” that carried the officer’s kit during a campaign.

It’s quite likely that Alfred was a Batman before Batman was.

I mean, they somehow got the footage, so either they’re super tight with said neighbour, or its their cameras.

Hey, it’s not all bad. Charlie’s dad got to work as Toothbrush Machine inspector (whilst the rest of the entire toothbrush workforce were laid off)

I think my search skills suck, since I couldn’t find anything specific to curse words in the US, other than the “Seven Dirty Words” from George Carlin[0,1]. From what I understand, the FCC does not have an official list of words[2], even on their official website[3] (which seems to lack a fact sheet), but does seem to follow what Carlin said. That leads me to believe that the words I wrote are offensive on a cultural basis. The B word is notably absent from all these lists, which I do find strange as a Brit, since calling someone a B is far more targetted[4, see Table1] at women than calling someone a cunt or a twat (which can be used equally and even colloquially).

In German media, swearing is virtually completely allowed, though I can only find secondary sources. Hell even in our “congress”, swearing happens quite freely[5].

The B word at present targets women specifically. The other words can be used extremely generally and even liberally in good humour over the pond.

I’m quite surprised you take the opposite position on this, but I’m happy to learn more.

Right, and everything Russia does is amazing. Come on, whilst I agree that NATO is definitely more of an aggressor in this conflict than western media portrays, that doesn’t excuse the atrocities committed within it, no more than I can accept the atrocities committed within my own western country.

All governments do bad things, and objection to one of those things does not equate unbridled support for their enemies. To see the world so black and white is hollywood fiction.

inform me then, otherwise I’m just going to propagate whatever specific thing you’re vaguely objecting to

Oh sorry, I thought you were trolling me by literally writing “removed”. I just now followed your fediverse link and can see that you wrote “removed”.

Yes that word is replaced on the server. I would say it’s a bit overkill too, but hey it’s a derogatory word towards women, so I think there are more general words like “fuck”, “shit”, “dick” and “cunt” that can be swapped in to convey the same point.

Ah I see, you’re baiting me. Have a good day, sir!

You can’t use racial slurs or derogatory words, but you don’t actually need to resort to such profanity to communicate a point… and I feel that if you do, then you probably are worth filtering out.

Eh, as long as you’re not spreading western propaganda you can pretty much say what you want. Fuck Russia!

The one thing I like about Starmer is that he doesn’t try to be funny. He tries to be a politician. A bad one. One that inherited a broken system. One who is also now under fire from criticism of corruption. But he doesn’t shy away from it. He attends interviews where he gets regularly roasted for his bad performance, and he trucks on.

I don’t like him, but I respect what he tries to be.

I hope not. My hands tremor when they say they find a politician “funny”.

where’s that meme image from

Exactly. Is it just a webpage served up with some native UI buttons to make it look more glossy? Are app permissions implemented as separate system users under POSIX? How many apps are written in languages/frameworks running from interpreters, and how many actually touch bare metal? Are app media that use Gallery permissions duplicating data or linking to it?

No one knows what an app is, the app development frameworks I learned 10 years ago are no longer relevant and have likely shifted to a whole new paradigm. If it looks perplexing to me, I can imagine it looks like magic to non-techies.
