Stop writing phrase "gender-based violence" where "woman targeted violence" is what you're discussing. Reading some article written by my local MP.
My fav musical device used to be bass drops, but nowadays it has to be when a singer goes from talking voice to singing voice.
We still haven't figured out a retronym yet for what's variously called "live television", "broadcast television", "terrestrial television", etc.
Another thing: I usually don't respect corporate sponsorship names, but there really isn't any other name for the place than "The O2". No one calls it "the Millennium Dome" anymore, cause it's really not the millennium dome anymore.
In a weird way, I'd actually hope it's permanently called "The O2" in a way that outlives the phone carrier, it' a nice sharp and poignant name that cleanly broke away from its past. All I know though is that it will last up until 2027 at least.
While ago saw this video by defunctland about the Millennium Dome in London, now known as The O2.
I utterly fell in love with The O2 in 2007, when it was redeveloped and opened under that name. So architecturally immense, it's like being in an airport x10. So was really surprised to learn about it's troubled background, wouldn't have imagined it was hated.
This is an event that was announced late 2019 to be scheduled for late 2020, later rescheduled to later this year. I'm pretty most kids would've outgrown PAW Patrol in span of two years. Being a 4 year old is an eternity ago to a 6 year old.
I like how the phone number breach has been rounded to the figure of "500 million", as if a data breach of ~53 million phone numbers is a rounding error.
Watching Yahoo answers in its final month is like watching the apocalypse, it's just a pure free-for-all over there rn.
This is legit important to me because when I was younger I was really embarrassed about liking Wall-E, and didn't have the confidence to tell people it was my fav thing ever because I feared having to defend myself, to the extent I never figured out how to actually vocally say the title of the movie.
It took 11 years, but it was only until last year did I land on an pronunciation of "Wall-E" I'm comfortable with.
British RP accent "wally" but with a slight pause between the two syllables. No tone or inflection.

@anjum ah, so this is probably why buddhism was so popular among hippies and queer people
Enjoying this. Had too look up info online about islam and fapping and getting mixed opinions, tho
GIMP is fairly usable if you embrace its "everything is a layer" paradigm init
Haven't read it, but I remember years ago finding this at a book shop "Switched On", an account of someone going under experimental Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation that cures autism momentarily
"Neurodiversity: Just Say No" (2007) interesting obscure article I found arguing for the case of curing autism http://jonathans-stories.com/non-fiction/neurodiv.html
