Brit on the hoof in and around Europe and Australasia. Anti-Brexit, pro being decent to one and other without politicising it. Likes dogs and cats. No. Loves dogs. Embracing my inner nerd despite years of friends and family “sci-fi shaming me”. So grateful to Imgurians for making me feel “normal” despite (what appears increasingly to me to be my) common or garden undiagnosed ADHD. If it’s fluffy, witty, silly or original, it’ll make me smile…… sounds like I’m jonesing for Oscar Wilde’s willy in a cravat… but no, I just like harmless fun. Thank you for making me feel it’s ok to be a tad uneven in my skill set…eg, “unusually observant”, whilst being utter toot at time mgt. The considerable resolve I gain from reading other people’s “solved a problem creatively, got sneered at for being weird” stories has been (and I am not exaggerating) life saving.
J Arthur would be proud of you
Elbows up!
Oh, I see! Sorry. My basaaad.
I know. I’m just appreciating it.
Sheepishly!! 🤗 I see what you did there
I feel my grandfather’s generation adjusting his cravat, nodding thoughtfully -“I assume, you’re concerned that she’s unaware of her faux-pas? Not wearing white opera gloves with her charming, strapless, crinolined, “formal” vacuuming dress, does seem a tad jejune.”
#67 doesn’t seem very plush for First class. Bit cramped for drawing anyone as a French girl..
Doesn’t bode well for 3rd. .. The more I understand about the economic disparity of those times, the more I’m convince that I’d be in steerage, in a bergen, on a hook, hoping it’s near as possible to the head, despite the smell, to more conveniently handle the amoebic dysentery… and think myself lucky.
Is #12 the pale kale of Billy Joel?
The kids in #27 are approx 100 yrs old now.
Or “Baa Baa Black Sheep”? Or the “alphabet” tune?
Duplo-macy?
Good point. The environment matters. Maybe in US, when the underdogs’ needs were merely overlooked, or as you said, when they were preyed upon by LEOs, an alternative “enforcement” seemed better than none.
Sometimes Mafia were “smart”, (not kind, good or heroic) ensuring they didn’t milk their cash cows to death.
The current administration could benefit from the same approach. IE: I can’t hope they’ll become “not evil”, but maybe just “smart” (as above), caring for the herd they milk.
Agreed.
You can be overwhelmingly evil and still have done a constructive, good thing. It’s the juxtaposition that makes it notable, rather than laudable.
It was said that the Mafia attracted esp focus because they directly competed with the government. Eg: Pay us protection money, we’ll keep thieves away vs pay your taxes, police may show up after the robbery.

It’s in case he’s fed after midnight
Weird . I got metal puzzzles, too. But we’re all agreed, right? That guy’s behaviour is grotesque - esp since you can tell it’s not his first time - 🤢
It’s a kind of Duplo-macy
Brit here. Please excuse my ignorance cousins on the North American continent, but does this chap sound a little like a Letterkenny character?
The Gravy SEALS withdraw, guarding their 7.
Drive-by stabbings aren’t too common.
Were you missing “/s”. I can’t tell
Agree - The GIF lasts between 2-7hrs. The mods are not people anymore, I believe that’s part of the reason for the heavy handed, seemingly uneven blocking and deleting of posts.
But, since Business Daddy worries about liability geoblocking is a sledgehammer solution.
I hope it’s a short term thing until they figure out if their mod function is enough to satisfy their legal requirement, and reinstate UK access.
I think it’s the other way round - Imgur geo blocked Uk because despite heavy handed modding they still can’t be sure to abide by the No R-rated/ 18+ porn requirement of the new (clumsy as hell) law.
This UK law is new - maybe the clunky response from Imgur is due to the legal dept having a knee-jerk?
My colleague tells me he can access from UAE, despite their porn restrictions…
NB new UK law is not as restrictive as many other nations still able to access Imgur.
Agreed. Further evidenced by the way it was implemented (zero communication), and by the fact that the modding here is heavy handed and clumsy, yet still doesn’t cover Business Daddy’s arse to meet “no porn” minimum.
Clumsy, over-zealous, soul-striping modding on here is still not fit for (stopping NSFW /porn) purpose?
