@jlfibs2@GenXgal90@SallyMayweather Oh the old 'demise of western civilization' chestnut. As far as I can tell people have been declaring 'kids today have it too good and society is doomed' since the beginning of mankind.
@TrilbeeReviews Secondly if they wanted to do something meta with it then why not have the faces be that of the other actors who had been considered to play the 3rd doctor IE John Le Mesurier, Ron Moody? That'd be a fun Easter egg for fans who were knowledgeable on the production side of things?
@TrilbeeReviews I get that they wanted to do something fun with it but firstly it feels rude to delete the drawings of the original production just to swap in some generic publicity shots. I guess the original illustrator wasn't a big enough talent for their work to be worth preserving?
@GenXgal90@SallyMayweather 3) So technically smacking the kid would in fact be a harsher response than a fully grown adult could expect from this scenario. In my opinion the correct response would be for the parent to remove the child from the store in a firm but fair manner.
@GenXgal90@SallyMayweather 1) As someone who has worked in retail, I feel I should remind people that we wouldn't smack an adult who did this. If a customer is being aggressive we as staff are legally instructed to get management or security to deal with them. They would then try to diffuse the situation.
@GenXgal90@SallyMayweather 2) If the customer continued this behaviour or damaged stock in this way then management/security would strongly advise them to leave. If they refused to exit the store we would call the police and they would try their best to calmly but forcefully escort them from the premises.
@CallidusDominus@TrilbeeReviews It's by no means a guarantee but the likelihood of something somewhat accurate is higher than when the Tories were in power. Most of the causes of the tragedy were created or exacerbated by decisions that Tory governments made.
@CallidusDominus@TrilbeeReviews BBC drama is a different beast to BBC News. Also now that Labour has a majority the BBC can put our a drama that might criticise the previous administration without fear of much blowback
@_Bonyo__@MattKleinman@DCunnin28379642@TrekMovie See the trouble is though chronologically it would be near future but isn't humanity supposed to be almost wiped out in a third world war before first contact? So it'd be almost a post-apocalyptic landscape wouldn't it? So it'd feel like it's further in the future than it is
@RaceplayShawty Im more annoyed at the fact they spent the last thirty years torpedoing pitches and plotlines for TV for the exact reason that having TV batman and movie batman would be too confusing. Only for them to turn around and be like "2 movie batman is something we are keen on!"
@councilofgeeks "I'm going to review episode 29013 of the popular soap opera.."
"You can't do that till you've watched them all and got to the end."
"It's a soap! There is no end!"
"Well I guess you can never review it then."
@councilofgeeks If its released all at once then you could argue that reviewing the whole thing is acceptable.
But if it is released in a serialised fashion then it's fair to review individual episodes.
Otherwise you could say ongoing series can't be reviewed until they're cancelled
@AveryEast4@TheScorch1701@jessiegender@ansonmount Isn't this also why everyone fears ai? They assume that AI would be irrational and violent because that's what we're like when there's an equal chance that ai would be chill so long as it has a guaranteed power supply. I mean 'kill all humans' isn't actually a very logical goal
@BantzFerdinand Host: That's all very good mister Galloway but what would a cat's opinion of this result be?
Galloway: Meeeeeow mew mew Trump purr purr Harris meoooow.
Host: Excellent, you've done very well and here's your reward.
*Host shakes a packet of dreamies cat treats*
@TheScorch1701@jessiegender@ansonmount To prove my point, imagine if an alien beamed down to the UN, told us about their planet's past and warned us to change our ways. Do you think everyone would join together to follow their advice? Or would two thirds of people tell them to get lost and mind their own business?
@TheScorch1701@jessiegender@ansonmount The only problem with this scene and speech is that sentient beings will always see themselves as the exception. So sure some of the aliens would be shook but many would view this as condescending and be like "sad for you but that won't happen to us coz we are better than you".
