Totally. I always think of this when people say Muslims overreact about drawings of their prophet or people burning their holy book. There were protests in the streets and famous Catholics like Pesci and Madonna attacked O’Connor in the press. Madonna, it seemed, was even more frustrated because this thing completely removed the attention from her new album that came out around the same time.
Edit: Madonna playing the prude was a nice touch.
very much like they picked up schoolgirls from school for Russell brand to be brought back to his flat.
Is this what happened with Russell Brand? I just heard he was a sexual predator, not that it was schoolgirls. It’s insane that the BBC didn’t get any wiser after Saville. It should be easy: don’t hire known pervs and definitely don’t let them use your stuff to abuse children.
He said he wanted to give her a good smacking or something. And he hasn’t apologized yet as far as I know.
Around this time Nirvana drew a lot of attention for mocking Top of the Pops by miming hilariously badly to Smells like teen spirit on air. It was a more innocent time. Ripping up a pic of the pope was wild.
It’s the same with Jimmy Saville, everybody knew. I remember chatting on a forum in a thread about celebrities who are absolute assholes. I’m not from the UK, so I didn’t know him before somebody in that thread told us about this lady from his little town who was given a small book store by Saville, alledgedly because he had abused her when she was a girl, and threatened to go public. Granted, Sinnead O’Connor took it to another level. And Joe Pesci showed his true colors. What an asshole.
I’m surprised Reddit is bigger than Xitter. Is that mostly because people have been leaving the Musk project in recent years?
need to work on the stigma of wearing clothes more than once…
Is this a thing?
Why would you want to go three minutes without talking about Linux?
I almost never imagine what human tails would look like(but then I clicked that link in a post in this thread…😕)
Well, that’s as good of an explanation for that name as any I’ve come up with, so I using that in the future. Not sure how it makes sense, but that’s okay.
I don’t even keep my wallet in my back pocket. I used to stuff my wallets with receipts, bustickets and whatnot, so I guess the strain of all that would also wear on my cards…
Same for me. Also the one I got is made out of hard plastic so my cards don’t get bent or broken(this was always a problem for me before)
Honestly? I switched from Windows to Linux. I was working for several years at a Windows-centric computer magazine and realized a couple of years ago that many of the articles I was writing were about how to make Windows behave less like Windows. So I installed some Linux distro in a virtual machine on my work PC to play around with it for a bit. And soon after I installed Manjaro on my PC at home. Today, four years later, I’ve installed various Linux distros on all my PCs, and I’m much less annoyed by computer issues on a regular basis.
this is somehow because Hamas uses human shields.
There’s a woman shielding this tree; Hamas uses human shilds; ergo, this tree must be Hamas. Simple!
Same for me. It was more often when I worked in an office for some reason, but I still glance at the watch on my PC and see 13:37 more often than any other times. Always accompanied by me thinking “hehe…1337 hax0r”
That’s fair, but that’s not what they said.
That’s what I thought.
As good a time as any to post this classic Peter serafinowicz clip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8IDmSnD2pzc&t=43
