This wasn't even a one off. This guys video channel was just him waiting for this to happen and it happened very frequently. I do remember seeing several where the police weren't really that supportive (probably as, though it made a point it was basically planned confrontation for video views).

I say not biscuit. C'est choccie wafer. Penguin or Tim Tam are borderline biscuits.
Great pic. Miss seeing them since I moved to Glasgow. They were getting to be a common sight in Bedfordshire.
Well the herbal was great so haven't ordered any tea as yet as was seeing if anybody had any experience with them. Good range of teas at least.
I'm now excessively mature so my memory is seeing multiple covers of the Sex Pistols' Never mind the Bollocks filling the HMV window (I did say I was old) but with the word Bollocks covered up. That and CD's first appearing in the store at more than twice the cost of vinyl LP's (£13 vs £5.49).
That tells us something about where our culture has gone and is going. I feel what you are seeing reflects this. There's a herd mentality driving a lot of norms.
That's an interesting question. I don't think the advantages of the fediverse are part of any zeitgeist so are not attracting new and diverse users other than maybe through places like Flipboard and maybe Ghost. The future of social media is certainly going to remain fragmented and the fediverse fragments itself by default anyway. I do think that how people use social media is changing; people are tired of overuse to some extent. Does the fediverse have a future? I think it'll remain its own niche as corporate offerings come and go. Increased Interest may come from an unexpected growth in a specialism that is federated. I think my idealism for what the fediverse could achieve is now muted as I probably no longer have faith in open networks as the cultures are way too different so I probably now see the fediverse less through the email analogy and more through the linux analogy. If fedi plods on refining itself in its own slow way (volunteers and no money make for slow progress) then who know the next time a corp offering destroys itself and people search for a less awful and exploitative environment then it might just win out in the long term though I'm not entirely convinced about that. Does that mean i'm off to corporate networks. Not really. I'd rather just stop altogether than fall down that rabbit hole again.
To me any war on homeland soil would mostly mean crippling infrastructure via hacking & inciting unrest. Worst case scenario a strategic nuclear or emp strike on military sites though by that stage we're clearly in a very worrying place.
I get that most objections will be on religious grounds but with appropriate checks I believe this is a good thing to have in place.
Innit tho
Ha. He should've put in an offer. £1.20?
Ha. Good point re indoors. Clearly this cat breaks all the laws of physics. Another quantum cat that can be in two places at once.
