I've always had an interest in Pynchon but his works seem too intimidating for someone with a nonexistent reading habit. I tried reading Meditations while I was obsessed with the Roman Empire but found it quite boring and never got around to finishing it.

Should I look for even shorter books or do I just get right into the classics?

Also should I get a Kindle

This isn't even new, they're been doing it for years

Honestly, Brother's toner prices are good enough, third party toner is/was the least of the many, many reasons Brother is my go-to printer brand. If I lose that, I don't care, I never did it anyway, and Brother is still light-years better than the rest of the pack.

Not to mention that my experience with third-party ink and toner have been so universally terrible in various ways over the decades, I would be very surprised if their concerns about many third party toners screwing up print quality wasn't entirely justified. Even if this is maybe not the greatest way to address that.

Who is this guy and what is he going on about? Who cares what he has to say...

Just buy the ink for the printer you bought, that's it. This is so simple. You like the brand enough to purchase the device but hate what actually keeps it running in tip top shape without hassle?

the print quality goes bad and they blame the machine instead of the weird after market supplies they bought.

Steve was leaving the football ground when he shouted back at some away fans. Moments later he was in handcuffs and under arrest.

He had shouted a homophobic slur, committing a hate crime that led to him being charged with a Section 5 Public Order offence. The case ended up in court, where he pleaded guilty, and he was banned from attending football matches in the UK for three years.

Now Steve - not his real name as he fears for the impact on his professional and personal life - is trying to make amends after coming through a fan education programme run by anti-discrimination charity Kick It Out.

A lifelong football fan, Steve had just watched his side play Chelsea and was leaving the stadium.

"I heard Chelsea fans shouting and I shouted back, 'Oi, you Chelsea rent boys', gave them a few gestures and thought nothing of it. I thought I was just having a bit of back and forth with the away fans," he said.

What followed is all a bit of a blur.

"I walked away and then all of a sudden I was surrounded by six security guards. And then from that point, a police officer arrested me and put the cuffs on."

"I'm in my 20s and I didn't really understand that [term]," Steve said. "I knew there was stuff around it, but I didn't really perceive why it was homophobic."

Steve was eventually referred to Kick It Out, which runs a fan education programme where offenders learn about the different types of discrimination and the impact their actions can have on victims.

"I accept that [what I did] was awful, and now it's about repaying that, turning that into something positive. I've had a look at myself... I'm willing to make amends," he said.

Sounds like not such a bad idea. Maybe we could organise to send some dramatards to these webinars to minimise homophobia on rdrama?

You mentioned only younger Republicans and their ivy league diplomas. No mention of your liberal idols nepotism or privilege. Your democrats were in power 12 of the last 16 years when college prices soared. You implied he was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. Not to a drug addict single mom who pawned him off on his grandparents. Who then got his ivy league diploma on merit. You're being disingenuous but thats your types norm.

You know all of Vance's book was proven to be utter bullshit, right?? You're the frick being disingenuous. He was raised upper class in Ohio This is the thing that you don't understand and why those Ivy League republicans don't want you understanding systemic racism, no way to implement without it affect working class and impoverished white peoples and one of those would be education. You see property taxes determine how much funding the public schools get. This is to ensure poor neighborhoods end up with a far inferior education. They have proven that kids who graduate valedictorian in poor neighborhoods are still so far behind they'd have to take and PAY FOR high school course in college in order to catch up. Vance was found by the heritage foundation while they trolled the Ivy league schools. They're the ones that bribe fricks like Vance to do as they tell them like write a book about how the average kid from poverty can pull themselves up by their bootstraps when it reality it is ...

So, the nation that got invaded should just give up its lands because the invading forces have lot so much trying to steal it? You must be running for president soon with that logic. Well, guess what, neither you or I have the power to start or stop that from happening. The ones that do DGAF about you or I and would rather see the world burn so they can come out of their bunkers and own the whole place. You're are seriously ill-informed. Putin is not going to stop with Ukraine, he has already sad as much. He wants a cease fire so he can consolidate his troops and logistics. Because right now Ukraine is kicking their butt on the battlefield and with technology. They have a resupply blockade on the NK troops to where they're starving in the trenches as the AU is destroying all the supply vehicles. Ukraine hold the upper hand in that aspect. Russia has superior numbers is all. They DGAF about their soldiers, they will find another that will die in his place soon enough. There is no last... (1)

Thread full of people with downmarsey trauma and moppings for transphobia or saying it looks tacky.

You look fantastic, and congrats on escaping the binary! Well done all around!

I don't know why this got downmarseyd. I meant this from the heart, but that doesn't mean it was received well. If I've worded things in a way that was hurtful, I'm happy to adjust my language and perspective.

Rad!

Why did I get downmarseyd?

Edit 2: I don't think people know what the word "rad" means and that makes me sad

AMAZING!! And you wear it so well! I hope this is one of the most wonderful and memorable events of your life 🥰

Edit: if I accidentally said something offensive, can someone let me know? I was really surprised to see how aggressively downmarseyd this comment was so I'm thinking I may have a blind spot and said something stupid. If so, I'm sorry and please let me know.

[jannied]

Yeah what's up with that? This is this person's wedding attire, it looks great on them, are people mad bc it doesn't look like every other generic white wedding dress ever?

I'm guessing this is it 100%. And presumably since they chose this outfit, this isn't going to look like most "generic" weddings either. Presumably the jump suit fits the style of the wedding. My friend married his partner on Halloween and they had wedding outfits and reception outfits. The wedding outfits were really sharp suits, but they wore costumes to the reception and the reception was a vibe. There were drag queens and glitter and glow sticks everywhere. Their attire fit perfectly with the mood for their party. I'd guess that's the case here- this wedding isn't going to he your traditional church wedding and formal reception, it's going to be it's own scene, and in that case this jumpsuit is a showstopper

Elvis would be proud of you.

i feel like i cant even say it doesnt look good

Then why wouldn't it be "our" Jumpsuit?

what?

[jannied]

they them pronouns don't necessarily only imply plurality. the pronouns can also be used to refer to some who doesn't use she or he pronouns. it would still be correct to say my instead of our because they're only one person.

[jannied]

Maybe because people like you misgender them?

But the post is about a dress and not the person wearing it. I wouldn't look at this pic and say "(pronoun) looks great in this dress!" I'd say YOU.

But I digress.

I can see that as it's something I would say too. But there are people out there who aren't supportive and OP was just stating their preferences. Obviously needed since the person I replied to used the wrong pronouns despite relying to a comment about pronouns and them being in the title.

AMAZING!!!! As an NB person I am in awe of this wedding outfit!! Gender euphoria for the win!! Congratulations!!!

I'm considering going to China or Japan to learn their unique language. Also to bang some local chicks there

Has anyone here done it?

There seems to be a lack of cool gooners, nowadays gooners are just mindlessly scrolling whatever porn site or erotic media that tickles their fancy for hours on end; just corroding their brain with constant stimulus but what ever happened to cool intellectual gooners like Kafka? Like yeah he had a porn addiction so severe that it was integral to his life as a person and he frequented brothels like there was no tomorrow but at least he actual did something in his life like write Metamorphosis, The Penal Colony, and numerous other great stories. All this to say its sad just thinking about people wasting all their potential just gooning away when in reality they could possibly be the next great short story writer!

Georgescu 2025

— Dacian Romulus (@dacianromulus) February 26, 2025

• Can't remember when I last updated you guys on our deranged political show, but let's use Vance's speech at that EU meeting as a starting point

• After elections were cancelled our politicians started to search for proof of russian manipulation/illegal shit/literally anything to justify randomly taking everyone's right to vote after the elections started. I know, I know, you'd expect them to have proof before basically accusing Georgescu of treason and cancelling elections, but this is the Balkans and logic was never our forte So houses were raided (Georgescu and family, their friends and political allies, his supporters, r-slurs on the internet who took advantage of this to vent their frustration by threatening violence), people were interrogated, blockades around cities where people were stopped and searched have been set up, lots of activity from our generally hibernating police force

• Not many things were unearthed, at least not about Georgescu directly - his bodyguards are mercenaries so they have ties with Russia because they worked with ziggers in Africa, and his grandpa or something has been part of the nazi party, but any direct ties with Georgescu are still missing Apparently gramps being a member of the nazi party and Georgescu being a member of the communist party doesn't hold much water, since pretty much everyone in those respective time periods were party members due to the whole 'we'll kill you if you don't join us' aspect of every authoritarian regime

• Anyway, after Vance directedly told our government that they are just some petty dictator wannabes panic settled in. Despite all the searches they still haven't found sufficient proof for annulling the elections. Well, they do say that this proof exists but it's super secret and it would be very dangerous to release publicly, so people are mostly about that. Which leads us to today's fiasco

• Today is the first day where the candidates for the new presidential elections can sign up. Georgescu was in traffic on the way to do just that when he was stopped by the cops and dragged to the police station. He just had a knee surgery a few days ago and is using crutches to walk around, so the image with him limping in crutches while surrounded by cops will definitely be used as the main campaign material from now on. Hey, why say no to free propaganda material!?

🚨🇷🇴 They pinned Georgescu against the wall like a criminal, even though he recently had a knee surgery and is still recovering

People have gathered outside the prosecutor's office, demanding Georgescu's release

Georgescu's lawyer has not been let into the building pic.twitter.com/3OYeYIJnMG

— Daily Romania (@daily_romania) February 26, 2025

• His supporters were angry at that because, aside from the general fact that their candidate has been arrested, you can only sign up for the presidential race until march 15, so they assumed the cops planed to detain Georgescu until then to stop him from signing up Protesters gathered in front of the police station, the riot police was called and they set up fences around the building, people on the internet were calling for violence (again), so things were a little tense

• But his supporters' fear were misplaced A couple of hours after being detained Georgescu was released under judiciary control. His charges are... not great for all this clusterfrick, especially since they don't justify the cancelled elections at all. Basically his speeches threatened the constitution, instigated violence, supported our nazis and general antisemitism. Apparently you need a house search to prove this I never heard him say anything about jews or about any violent actions ever, so I guess those parts are in relation to his nazi ties. Which leave us with two main charges, the nazism and the constitution one.

• Him praising our versions of the nazis, technically the most darning one since any type of support for nazism is illegal in Romania, is funnily enough the weakest charge he's facing because our politicians are a bunch of lazy and incompetent r-slurs Georgescu's ties with nazis were known for decades, he has been arrested over them multiple times before but every time he was released with no explanation So, his nazi affiliation has never been a problem for years, haven't been a problem when he signed up to become president the first time, have been deemed not a threat when he won the first round of the elections and people complained that a literal nazi was allowed to candidate for the most important political position of Romania, but they suddenly became a real threat to our democracy (tm) now, in the first day of electoral sign up So, while this charge is a problem for him, it's kinda hard to use it as a justification for everything that happened until today.

• The 'threat to the constitution' accusation is probably the real weapon against him for now. It has been used to force another auth-right candidate out of the race the first time and it's based on a very muddy law. She was accused of antisemitism and spreading hate against NATO and EU, things that apply to Georgescu too. Georgescu's supporters are now expecting him to be pulled out of the race in the same way the other candidate was. Our rightoids' second favorite candidate, Simion, said that he won't candidate again as to not split their voting base, so if they cancel Georgescu's candidacy after the signups are done they can cockblock them both out of the race Although that will obviously anger their fans

• For now, Georgescu was allowed to go home, but can't have any media appearances and his social media activity has also been limited since he's not allowed to create any new accounts... it would be a shame if his current ones were deleted So the old debate of ''what is freedom of speech?' is currently going on all over our media, both mainstream and on the internet

• Conspiracy theory time!

• Not many new conspiracies have appeared yet, but since Vance, Musk and a few of their chud friends showed their support for Georgescu, some people now believe that this arrest was ordered by Von der Lyne as a message for Trump that Europe now belongs to Soros and the globalist cabal Don't ask me why Von der Lyne specifically

Apparently this is why:

BREAKING:

Austrian MEP confirms that Călin Georgescu’s arrest was ordered by the European Commission—very possibly by Ursula von der Leyen. pic.twitter.com/6NjmiOf4Gr

— Dacian Romulus (@dacianromulus) February 26, 2025

• In contrast, another theory says that the politicians here want Georgescu to win, and all this clusterfrick is a way to martyr him in the population's eyes and make everyone vote for him, and that our elections were actually a honeypot operation to trap the evil globalists and force them to expose themselves and their plans

• Some chuds here have been watching too many old school crime movies, I guess

• That's all for now, the situation is still tense vut has mainly calmed down for now since Georgescu was allowed to go home. Will update again if anything spicy happens

Edit: !jannies can I get an efforst post tag for this? I forgot to tag it

The charges might de dropped because the wrong political body filed them. We're a very competent country

Walking in Holborn, London yesterday and the streets were dirty, bin bags everywhere and overall just uncleanliness was obvious.

Why and what has caused this? Previously it was not as unclean.

Yeah, why is that?

Watch as the Eternal Labourite squirms

Council cutbacks and also people not taking responsibility for their own rubbish.

"Underfunded" "Cutbacks" "Austerity" "Tories"

I would say that dipsosable consumerism has contriubted to it.

Japan is famous for being clean and also has excessive plastic packaging on everything

It's all about culture and teaching.

how close /r/uk is to Saying It

People don't care about the environment and expect others to clean up after them. Too lazy to take their rubbish home.

This is it. Can complain about immigrants and police all you want, the simple fact is that there's too many peepeeheads who don't care about public spaces and infrastructure.

where did all this peepeehead behaviour suddenly come from since 2021

Councils skint

I'm sure it has nothing to do with Camden council spending nearly 2 BILLION pounds on pension obligations

The true answers will be deleted lol

What's the true answer?

Cut backs lack of investment,

"CUTBACKS could be here", he thought. "I hate LACK OF INVESTMENT."

I've, personally, noticed the increase start during the "war on terror" when public bins were removed from a lot of places, for fear an IED would be hidden in one in a train station for example.

Haven't seen that one in a while

People are eating a lot more packaged convenience food and snacks than they used to.

Bins were removed due to the troubles then more after 9/11 and 7/7.

I honestly felt like this at first, but it became a "background show" for me because I only get a handful of channels and it's often either adult swim or the news and I get tired of the news. Anyway, I kinda got used to it. Mostly because of Louise and the stories about her because she reminds me of a young me a bit. I have a really hard time with the mom though. Her personality and voice are just so irritating and some episodes have drawn me in just because I'm so pissed off with how she is acting and her husband just goes "Uhhhh". like when she stalks and harasses people or invades their privacy out of some minor obsession and gets away with it.

This has 8,000 updoots and has been put as FED ONLY with 450 replies, send this too all your fricking non fed FRIENDS and RELATIVES so they can help, somehow

"I read online that some people are wondering why Federal employees are making such a fuss over being asked to list 5 things they did last week. After all, it isnt difficult to type up a response and send it, right? It truly isn't. I've been trying to come up with a way non civil servants will understand the problem, so I've created this analogy.

Let's say you are a delivery driver (FedEx, UPS, Amazon, etc). From Monday to Friday, 8-5 you drive around, delivering packages. Your company tracks your truck via satellite, your deliveries via various IT programs, and they know what you are doing because they plan your route, tell you where to drive, and check your truck at the end of the day to confirm you delivered all your packages.

Now let's say after a long week of work, you are relaxing at home with your family on a Saturday night, getting ready for bed, and you get a random email at 11pm from your state's dept of labor. The email comes from [email protected] and is automatically flagged by your company's email as coming from outside your organization. The email says that within 48 hrs, you have to send them a list of 5 places you drove over the past week. Keep in mind, this didnt come from your supervisor, or the leader of your individual company, but from an organization that has nothing to do with the packages you deliver or even package delivery services in general. The email has a generic return email and no signature block identifying who actually sent the email. Your boss didn't know you were going to be asked for this information, your boss's boss didn't know, even the leader of your company didn't know about the email. And let's not forget that the Dept of Labor has no real need to know where you drove this week.

Your decide to look online and see if anyone else got the email, and end up following a link to the personal social media page of someone that works at the Dept of Labor. From this personal social media page, you learn that the email was sent to every delivery driver in the country and that if you don't respond by the deadline, you will be fired.

You don't go back to work until Monday, so you spend the rest of Saturday and all of Sunday wondering why you are receiving this email and being asked where you drove, and why you are being threatened with being fired of you dont respond to a random email that came from outside your chain of command. You worry that if you don't describe your drive/route in enough detail, you will be fired. You worry that your supervisor only gave you 10 packages to deliver one day, when another route delivered 30, so maybe you will be fired because you were given fewer packages to deliver and there can't describe an impressive route as part of your 5 bullet points of driving.

When you return to work on Monday, the deadline looming over your head, your boss tells you not to respond to the email. And hour later, your boss's boss tells you that you MUST respond. And then just before quitting time, the leader of your company sends you an email that you are NOT to respond.

Meanwhile, you know full well that all of your deliveries were appropriately tracked to confirm delivery, and your entire route along (with every stop) can be verified by reviewing the GPS records on your delievry truck.

This is why the 5 bullet email is concerning to federal employees."
