I think her role in the office was good. It kept the absurdity grounded with the realism.

Where in Latvia is this?

(I’m assuming this is Latvia)

Yeah. “Bend Her” did not age well. But with a show that’s got 10 seasons you’ve got to assume one or two episodes won’t age well, even if the show does in general.

Dems have switched to high propensity voters. The people who consistently turn out tend to be dems, the people who only sometimes turn out tend to be republicans. This means that special elections with low turnout favour dems.

(This is notable because before Trump came about it was the opposite pattern)

Speaks volumes that Labour’s own feasibility study found it would lead to a major increase in child poverty. And yet they have doubled down and are planning further cuts.

Labour would rather starve marginalised people than make rich people contribute a couple tenth of percent of their vast wealth. Speaks volumes.

Yeah. I mentioned that in my comment at the bottom.

Futurama has aged suprisingly well, given how many generational cultural references there are.

Pretty much any Politics or Geopolitics show based on the present has aged poorly, because the political situation worldwide has shifted so dramatically in the past decade. (Although this doesn’t count for fantasy and local Politics, Parks and Rec for example has aged fine).

Agreed. Though I actually found Seinfeld somewhat rewatchable until Jerry supported the genocide. (If only because it’s kind of fun to get a glimpse of what life was caricatured as for upper middle class new yorkers 35 years ago).

FRIENDS, is just meh. Like I think it would have been far more fun watching it when everyone was into it and it was the cultural thing.

But now it’s just an outdated sitcom that drags on for wayyy too long and has lowkey bigoted undertones.

Any reason I should choose Qwant over Duckduckgo? DDG having bangs and Qwant being not hosted in the US means I see them as about equal. So I won’t bother changing. Anything else I’m missing that Qwant beats DDG in that might make it worth changing.

(I’m definitely gonna change if the index thing works out)

Duckduckgo and Startpage aren’t in “advert free tier”, yet they arguably have it even better. You can opt out of adds with them for free and without a hassle. It’s in the settings.

So that’s arguably far better.

The sources justifying it are from before the Russian invasion.

And they are not really enough evidence. It’s basically bits and pieces that don’t really say enough plus one reuters quote that is probably influenced from pre-euromaiden.
