that tiki taka song… I do have some opinions on it that no one asks for

The first time I heard it I thought it sounded fine, didn’t know why so many people criticized it. But then I encountered it a few more times and it really doesn’t feel right? I realize it’s probably because it really irritates me when song styles don’t match their themes. I don’t know if it’s the tune itself, or the lyrics don’t match the tune, or how the singer pronounces words when singing. The chorus sounds sticky, which doesn’t suit the theme I guess? Unless football is supposed to a sticky sport?

Is it possible to change the lyrics to make it more crisp? Or the tune itself makes that impossible?

The westboro church said “LT thinks he has cutesy little endearing qualities”

Watching Weird Weekends and several men said baby at the end of sentence when talking to Louis I wonder if that’s just how “masculine” men speak in the US? Or if that’s how they speak to a young British journalist…

Reading the new checks that might come in due to the Online Safety Act in the UK and this is actually bullshit

[Image Transcript:

And how will I prove my age?

There’s a number of methods a site or app might use to ask you to confirm your age. They might do this check themselves or use another company to do the check. These methods include:

Facial age estimation – you show your face via photo or video, and technology analyses it to estimate your age. 

Open banking – you give permission for the age-check service to securely access information from your bank about whether you are over 18. The age-check service then confirms this with the site or app.

Digital identity services – these include digital identity wallets, which can securely store and share information which proves your age in a digital format.

Credit card age checks – you provide your credit card details and a payment processor checks if the card is valid. As you must be over 18 to obtain a credit card this shows you are over 18.

Email-based age estimation – you provide your email address, and technology analyses other online services where it has been used – such as banking or utility providers - to estimate your age.  

Mobile network operator age checks – you give your permission for an age-check service to confirm whether or not your mobile phone number has age filters applied to it. If there are no restrictions, this confirms you are over 18. 

Photo-ID matching – this is similar to a check when you show a document. For example, you upload an image of a document that shows your face and age, and an image of yourself at the same time – these are compared to confirm if the document is yours.

Not only is this such a fucking breach of privacy, but this is going to hurt adults in vulnerable and abusive situations. Some adults don’t have bank accounts or credit cards or even a fucking phone. I’m one of them. I could not give half of this information even if I wanted to. What the fuck is this. Fuck the UK government. This isn’t going to protect kids, this is just going to hurt adults, and I know full well when they say “sites that allow pornography” they’re going to be going after sites that have huge amounts of queer content, like tumblr and Ao3. Queer kids are gonna lose their fucking communities because of this shit. Abuse victims are going to lose online support systems because of this.

I’m genuinely fucked off about this, and worried about whether I’m going to lose every single one of my online friends. Anyone in the UK, please email your MP and sign this petition. It needs to reach 100k signatures to pass through Parliament.

I’m only hoping the backlash will be big enough for them to stop implementing these measures.

Weirdly the whole doc is very “sexual”(?) like everything is related to sex

And it shows how British journalism works from both sides. Very interesting.

Was reading a world politics fanfic written in Chinese and apparently the author has the urge to express some very obvious and typical opinions and does that by writing a plot that I personally think shouldn’t be joked about even in politics rpf, but they can’t even bother to get some very common sense info right. It’s like they really believe the language spoken in the US is called Americanese which has nothing to do with English because the author doesn’t even know English exists (it’s just a metaphor I use. The author certainly can’t be that ignorant, but still not much better than that).

It really annoys me, just like when some Chinese fanfic authors use mental health problems or addiction as the main plot in fanfic and they write it so badly because they don’t give a single fuck about the issue itself and only use its shock value that works in a group of audience that are already surrounded by stigmatized understanding.

Is this real I’m gonna cry

[deeppurpleforest]

this might be true for a lot of countries but i truly believe it doesn't work for certain ones

also i understand identity can be a big issue so thats why i dont want to be a prick and comment on their videos but why are people blindly thinking the culture their original country of birth could be better than others i think we should all appreciate any culture with a critical mind there isnt a necessary correlation between where you were born or live and the culture you enjoy also people who dont grow up with the everyday life can pick the fun part and romantize it but since they are not hurting anyone and it makes them happier its fine just dont claim the romantized version as whats really happening though

and we havent started talking about the femicide and the fact almost everyone including those keeping their daughters clearly prefers sons but i dont have energy

So they (by they I mean scriptwriters for tv series) make Victoria feminist, love her daughter and say I might decide to only have this one child and she might be another queen regnant like me in the future, but make Katherine of Aragon hate her daughter at first??? Wtf Victoria was not good to her children and definitely not a feminist. Katherine of Aragon fought for her only surviving daughter’s right to succession and she also took her daughter’s education seriously.
