I have heard MAGA giggle over the idea of being "deplorable". They are revelling in finally getting the cruelty sanctioned that they have always dreamt of.

Honestly, whenever I see a new ad I immediately assume it must be fake.

The Super6 ads I see are frankly traumatic and at this point I'm not convinced Jamie Carragher and co haven't licensed their likeness because they have such an AI vibe even though they may be genuine.

...and everyone else just says it. No reason needed.

"Unwittingly, he bought a chocolate bar that earned him a factory full of slave labour"

Its perverse that people will support subsidising private enterprises with free labour, & tax breaks & incentives - all but nationalising slavery - before they'll consider stopping the subsidising of private enterprises to pay extortion level wages and breaking the banking hegemony on new homes.

There's a lot of Shorts content intended to just be briefly consumed (particularly the 30 seconds-out-of-context movie clips that MUST be getting copyright struck even with dubbed music) with no loyalty. Even those looking to build a following via Shorts know it's not always the same audience.

Reads a bit back to front. Jennings is the one who said "No good ol' boy sings in Swahili" and left after Stevie introduced some lyrics being sung in that language - which then some time later was pointed out wasn't the Ethiopian language. As described by Richie

Wait until they unlock the secret of... adding spices from the spice rack. Oregano. Basil. Chilli flakes, onion flakes, garlic powder.

Missed the bit where they drink coffee for 58 minutes staring at the 3 level summary wondering what on hell it is, all while incapable of verifying if it's actually true.

2a heroes, usually Libertarians. One was shot (and killed) during the George Floyd protests. Angry dude drove vehicle towards crowd blocking the road. Guy "protecting" with an AK or similar approached, and the driver didn't wait and just started shooting.

Yeah, I'd speak to another reseller. We've had this convo before I'm sure, but the only solution is to badger the ever loving shit out of a company until you get to their equivalent of me who will just go "oh yeah" and get it done.

Speak to any providers you can and ask them to speak to Openreach. So long as you have overhead wires it's an easy run & replace process so pointless to miss a property off.

Receipts is my favourite.

There are, but I have struggled to get people to adopt Frameworks such as G Cloud even though it would solve swathes of issues. The Digital Marketplace and Purchasing Platform should be par for the course - but I know it isn't.

I made huge inroads with local council; so it can be done.

I have a council that used IBM LotusNotes as their primary software. They finally migrated to Office in mid 2010's, but so many of their systems hang off "Domino" or whatever it was called that they were still paying annual fees to HCL (sublicense entity for that one system).

And they're not alone.

"Man finds out what Councils already knew"

I could, and have, written the white papers on this stuff - while spending an equal amount of the time getting departments off the form based processes into digital.

It's the same in private industry so why is this a surprise to anyone at all?

You could make a randomised conspiracy generator and still be outfoxed by the sheer volume of monkeys at keyboards on the hellsite.

Forgot that one, but absolutely another great example.
