Britain given green light to challenge ICC arrest warrants for Netanyahu and Gallant
  • It's a segment of the voters too, yes. On the other hand, we also have a problem with genuine anti-semites. It's a shit-bed, and we have no place lecturing others.

    This business of challenging the arrest warrants of people who are clearly war criminals is a particularly bad look.

  • things you can only do with boys
  • I think no such thing, and if you got that impression from what I wrote then I must have expressed myself extremely badly.

    Sexual assault sucks, no matter who does it, nor to whom. You deserve justice for what happened to you.

    Here is the point I was trying to make:

    • More men are convicted for sexual assault than women.

    • Sharing pictures of a child's penis without consent sucks. Maybe it's sexual assault. Even if not, I believe it is a bad thing to do.

    • Some women do it anyway, and they get away with it because they're not seen as the sexual assault demographic. This sucks.

  • things you can only do with boys
  • I'm sorry to hear that happened to you. I do not think that the statistics of abuser demographics should be relevant to their prosecution. That is a different thing to the thing I was talking about.

  • How to make a month go by as fast as possible other than sleeping
  • I think it's generally agreed that repeated experiences are a good way of making time pass faster: your brain recognises a situation and says "I'm not needed here; I'll fast-forward to something more challenging". Binge TV you've already seen. When I was in your situation I listened to a lot of radio plays, audio books and podcast series.

    Do keep running and exercising. Can you ride a bike? Building up some familiar routes might help pass the time in a healthy way.

    I am sorry to hear that you're feeling low. It's the new epidemic. Hang in there and I do hope life gets more enjoyable in time.

    Enshitification hits Postman. POSTMAN!

    community.postman.com Collections in lightweight client

    In regards to the topic that has been closed recently: Collections not displayed after update - #8 by danny-dainton So how exactly does one use collections now for people who literally can’t connect the postman client to an account (login = literally impossible)? Exporting my settings is all well ...

    Collections in lightweight client

    I'm a bit late to the party here because I haven't needed Postman for a while, but how is it okay that now we have to LOG IN TO POSTMAN and send our API requests to them for them to store on their own cloud?

    Discussion: Where are all the dystopias?

    Thanks to the glorious shovelling of Classic Who onto BBC IPlayer, I have been enjoying a glut of mid-80s classic Who.

    It struck me how many of the CBaker-McCoy era stories are dystopian tales, reflecting the pro-establishment neo-captialist society that the writers felt was being inflicted on them.

    Varos, Paradise Towers and Terra Alpha (of Happiness Patrol) are obvious examples; Necros (Revelation of the Daleks) and is a particularly nasty one. Even Trial of a Timelord was, at its heart, a tale of authoritarianism and narrative control.

    Modern Britain is clearly in another phase like the 80s. If anything, the authoritarianism is more extreme, and the government's avarice more naked.

    So where are the writers' reactions to that nowadays? Whenever the show has recently attempted to address societal issues, it has been either a direct sermon like Orphan 55 or an incompetent muddle like Kerblam.

    Where are the dystopias?
