JimmyChanga , to Today I Learned in TIL the origin of the word 'dog' is an etymological mystery. (The same is true about the word 'squid' but obviously I already knew that.)

Only heard feet referred to as dogs in american tv, never in real life, the phrase "my dogs are barking" messing the person'sfeet were sore, bloody odd if you ask me

JimmyChanga , to British Telly in TV tonight: paranoia and perils in an intense cold war drama

Spy/master is up on the iplayer for those who like to binge

JimmyChanga , to Nostalgia in Remember MiniDisc?

Relent the advert for them featuring Reef , thought they were going to be the new led zeppelin! They were the coolest thing though, the recordable player and all, always loved sony stuff.

JimmyChanga , to Anti-Corporate Movement in UK Government Response to the Stop Killing Games Petition

I am very far from any sort of legal expert but it feels to me that the language is putting an onus on the suppliers to maintain and not withdraw content. "As described" I guess being the get out close for them

JimmyChanga , to Anti-Corporate Movement in UK Government Response to the Stop Killing Games Petition

That sounds like a win

JimmyChanga , to FoodPorn in Recently learned to make English muffins

Thank the stars, I was seriously worried there for a minute

JimmyChanga , to FoodPorn in Recently learned to make English muffins

They do look amazing, why no butter though?

JimmyChanga , to The Onion in The Onion boutta do whatever tf it wants

Haha, guess I could have read it a bit closer

JimmyChanga , to The Onion in The Onion boutta do whatever tf it wants

Is that for real or has the takeover made that unnecessary? Can't tell anymore is they're serious

JimmyChanga , to cats in And I thought having a bathroom supervisor was bad

Before you piddle, answer my riddle...

JimmyChanga , to Asklemmy in Is Fallout serie on Prime Video good or bad ?

Not soap opera-y at all imo, 4 episodes in. It's great, it feels like the fallout world 100%

JimmyChanga , to Nostalgia in We sadly depleted our strategic teal reserves by the year 2000

The fact the Charlotte hornets aren't the main team in the sports square is unforgivable

JimmyChanga , to Ask Lemmy in What actor is the modern day Schwartzenegger?

If I'm understanding your question right, the 2010s were fairly dominated by marvel's movie machine, and RDJ was probably the stand out lead of those films, though Samuel L Jackson is the highest grossingactor of that decade i think. RdJ has now garnered the critical acclaim in the 2020s that was missing, so there's a reasonable chance RDJ could be the man you're looking for.
Leo DiCaprio is the most revered critically over the same period I think, of leading men in highly rated films.
Though Tom Cruise, for whatever reasons, is really the last of the real Moviestars, but his career spans over the earlier period too of the 00's and even 80s, & 90s.

JimmyChanga , to AntiTrumpAlliance in Trump loves to play the victim — the appeals court bailout shows he's the most coddled person alive

Like a giant baby, explains why he wears diapers too

JimmyChanga , to United Kingdom in Minimum wage is UK’s ‘most successful economic policy in a generation’

Minimum wage raises have almost no effect on inflation rates, or "shrinkflation" for that matter. The rises in minimum wage have been frequent over the last few years but it's almost entirely been cost push inflation that's caused the cost of living to be so much higher and so swiftly over the last few years. Longer term here's actually been huge wage stagnation for most. Which is its own issue. Off the back of the cost push causation, the UA invasion by Russia, covid etc profiteering by companies is definitely happening too.
