Dogging means something different in the UK.

I’m from the UK and I’ve heard of it. Maybe it’s a North or North West of England thing. We’re a small country but we still do have regional food.

Have you been doing mainly stealth combat rather than samurai? I’ve heard that the game goes all stormy if you act dishonourably like that.

It is a reflection of the lack of integrity in the political systems of other countries that no sanctions have been imposed on the US in response to its brutal actions in Iran - this war is just as much a war of aggression in violation of international law as the one Russia is waging against Ukraine.

I don’t think that it’s a lack of integrity that’s resulted in sanctions not being applied against the US. We just wouldn’t be able to weather the financial consequences of sanctioning them.

Integrity is lacking but I don’t think that a government with 100% integrity would be able to afford to sanction the US.

I don’t think that Europe could start trading with Iran without backlash from the US.

Don’t their sanctions usually knock on to anyone who trades with the sanctioned country?

Although with TACO in charge it would just be another day another argument I guess.

Or the knowledge to know that it even needs doing.

Don’t leave Joe out of it! (also /s)

You have to trust the contract.

If you use Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace etc then they already have all your data anyway. Most businesses have to trust other companies and the contract at some point.

The only other option is to use Open Source self hosted everything which is beyond most people’s ability.

If you’re a business with a contract with them it should state that they won’t use your data to train their models.

If you’re using the free service then you’re right that it’s safe to assume that your data was already being used.

They were also confused before the Iranian prize remark.

Not only that but it needs to also be negotiated with Isreal who routinely assassinates / attempts to assassinate people that they are negotiating with and who has shown that the term “cease fire” is meaningless.

I have a policy that if a post or comment is worth a reply then it’s worth an upvote. If it’s not worth an upvote then I don’t reply.

Well, we know that at least two major supermarkets in the UK aren’t able to operate properly when faced with a significant cyber attack.

I think that the bottom left is her with a cigarette that she uses in the bottom right panel to light the gas burner.

I have heard it used as a racial slurs once I the film True Romance (1993). It has a scene where Dennis Hopper’s character is explaining to Christopher Walken’s character (a Sicilian) how he’s “part eggplant” due to the fact that the Moors conquered Sicily in the past.

I’d link to the scene on YouTube but I don’t want to as it’s very racist.

She took more than 25 years and caused permanent mental health issues but only gets a sentence of 13 years? That doesn’t seem fair.

Most of the cameras in the UK take photos from the back presumably to avoid the flash blinding the driver and/or to get motorcycles that only have a plate on the back. That means that we can’t rely on the photo to know who was driving.

I’d imagine that very few games would be given an 18 due to the unfiltered chat.

Surely they all have a block and a report function at the very least (even if they do nothing about reports).

If that’s a problem for you then Behind the Bastards is not for you.

I’d say that the aim of the podcast is not to document the events in question (that information could always be found elsewhere) but to document the back story behind the events in detail.

I think that’s only because of how recent that was. It might be different in ten years’ time.
