I know I stole this opinion from a series of sci-fi books, but I like it.

Planets should not be terraformed. It's vandalism of the natural world. If we are ever at the point where we have the technology to terraform a planet, we'll just as easily be able to build artificial habitats in space.

Yeah. It really feels that way

It's ok to like a thing. Even if it is slop

[–] Flyberius@hexbear.net 1 points 10 months ago

Entirely agree. I bet Heston's steak is mid at best. My dad cooked the best steak

I think the idea is they will be criminally liable if it is proven that someone lied. Which sounds great to me. Can you imagine locking up the shite we call government in England

I know a guy who used to be a driver for Heston and he told me Heston's secret to the perfect steak. It's was the dumbest thing I've ever heard. Cook the steak for seventeen seconds per side and flip some arbitrary amount of times.

So basically, cooking a steak the way anyone else would, but while being really pedantic about meaningless specifics like the exact number of seconds to cook per side

I'm just happy they they show us one of the sea battles in the Colosseum

[–] Flyberius@hexbear.net 3 points 10 months ago

Yup. This is what I envisage

[–] Flyberius@hexbear.net 5 points 10 months ago

Ayyy. Me too, me too

Fucking let them have straight pride and watch barely anyone turn up.

Fact is, straight people are boring as fuck.

Ham Chonday 3: The Chublot Protocol

 
 
 

You might call it a poonis.

 
 

The weather has been even shitter than usual in the UK this spring. Normally we'd have had a few decent days by now, but it's just been cold, windy and overcast after our unsettlingly mild winter.

Anyway, it's amazing how much a bit of sun picks up my mood. The sun is out today and the world seems slightly less shit. The birds are singing and I'm seeing insects flitting about.

The sun is good for mental health.

 

Mmmm mmmm... I sure do love a ham chonday.

 

Friend just made me aware of this ongoing shittery in the UK. Ongoing demonstration in London at the moment. I said I would spread the word.

Pretty sure this is straight up illegal.

 

Feel free to whip this one out if you get any of that "Winnie the pooh is banned" nonsense from a propagandised westerner. Also remind them that it is racist.

I've got another one somewhere if a giant Winnie the Pooh stuffed toy in a tea house, but I'll be damned if I can find it right now

I've had enough!!! (hexbear.net)

When browsing on the web I am routinely subjected to the badly cut out hexbear logo on the community bar.

It is vile, it is offensive, and I have had enough.

I have decided to fix it. Whoever has the power, can they please replace that dirty image with this slightly trimmed version.

Good day.

Edit: it does actually have a few other scaling issues so I might make a newer one at some point

 

Hi all,

I've been learning Mandarin for just over 6 months but I am having trouble with my listening comprehension. Does anyone have any good resources for listening practice? I am looking for HSK 1/2 level stuff. I basically just need to immerse myself in as much content as I possibly can until all this vocab and grammar starts to cement itself in my brain.

I already use Hello Chinese and a few other apps. Ideally I would just be looking for quick fire phrases and conversations that I can listen along to. Youtube has some stuff but the quality is always a bit up and down.

Thanks
