Yeah, I think they normally do full embargoes for that exact reason.

Well normally they just tell you you aren't allowed to talk about the game period. This is a slightly relaxed position from that stance.

I'm a little gutted that I lost my Facebook account, if only because it was so old I had a username. Instead of my profile only being facebook.com/, my profile was like facebook.com/tweak. People were really surprised by that.

However they blocked my account because I used 3rd party web wrapper apps and once had a poor internet connection in a remote location. It asked me to log in again, I did, then it said "you've done something strange" and demanded government ID. I actually complied (although I taped up most of the info, like it said I could) but it kept automatically rejecting it. I think it was because my profile used the shortened version of my name, which I go by on a day to day basis, while my ID uses the full version.

One of these days I might twist their arm with GDPR and get them to grant me access, however my local ICO has been pretty toothless under the current right wing government. I don't really miss Facebook, but there are friends and family on there I'd like to contact, and I was a member of a particularly good meme group.

Completely aside but Diego Luna (the actor who plays Andor) always looks like :<

Registration wall.

This article almost frames it as Ukraine's fault for changing. Ukraine shouldn't have to compromise with Russia at all.

I'm not sure about the chill ones, but most of them just put starch in the polymer chain at various intervals. Bacteria break down the starch, which visibly breaks down the plastic, however it leaves behind tiny polymer chunks - microplastics.

I imagine a good biodegradable plastic is quite expensive, probably more so than other green alternatives.

Oooo waiting for the spicy comments. There was a few breakdowns of this, complete with more accurate memes, the last time I saw this posted.

The real joke is plastic recycling to begin with. It's an inferior product, one much more likely to produce harmful microplastics.

Almost as bad as biodegradable plastics.

Reduce, reuse, recycle. Recycling is supposed to be the last resort, not the first choice for profits.

Tesla, or Musk?

You still can't really get the Sun anywhere around Liverpool. Even if you find a place that stocks it, if you were to buy a copy they'd look at you funny.

It's all because of their reporting of the Hillsborough Disaster, where they blamed Liverpool FC fans for causing the press, rather than police not only mismanaging but restricting the emergency evacuation.

I'm pretty sure they did, although I've used Mastadon even less than I used Twitter, so I can't be 100% sure. However I've read articles over the months saying they were introducing an instance as a trial, and then that they were keeping it running after the trial.
