  • Always ask for an upgrade, especially if you’re above base level on their rewards scheme. I got heaps of Emirates upgrades to BC doing this. Also, I once had my seat double booked on an a380, was a great economy with good leg room. If this happens, and the plane is at full capacity, don’t fight for your seat. Arrived at seat, taken, check boarding passes, double booked. I told the lady to keep the seat, called a flight attendant over to sort it out, BC upgrade right in front of her!






  • I have a Lenovo smart display (the small one) on my bedside table, and it’s brilliant. I don’t really use the smart features much but it’s nice to just be able to tell it to set an alarm. It means my phone is free for watching YouTube or whatever in bed. Love that it is internet connected and always accurate.

    What I really want is a smart ‘analog’ clock for the living room that isn’t the Amazon one. Have a large Lenovo smart display in the living room but I want something wall mountable that is visible from more directions.

    I have no desire for a phone stand




  • because this isn’t old reddit?

    On kbin it’s actually a cross between old and new reddit. new reddit a link appears below the title when reading the thread. kbin the title is the link, but only when reading the thread.

    I actually liked new reddit in compact mode, so used it that way since it was available, so not really much of a change. I’ve been using old.reddit a bit since this whole event, and it was so weird having to click on the comments to go to the comments, rather than the title of the post!

    Either way, people are going to find it different.




  • You can see she’s very obviously not a child once placed in context.

    err… are we looking at the same picture?

    The question isn’t “do you find loli offputting” it’s “do you think this should be illegal”

    no the question is “Is the sexualised depiction of children illegal in your jurisdiction”. To which the answer is yes, yes it very much so is. You can argue semantics till she’s 762. To the average person, that is very much so a depiction of a child despite whatever some lore states on a twitter image. and if that is getting sexualised, and you think that is ok, then the moral corruption is within you. Its just that you can’t see that from within.


  • problem is it also comes up in /all. which is the default landing page. So yeh, you have to reactively block communities, which still leaves you open to exposure unfortunately - lemmynsfw will certainly not be the last nsfw instance. not particularly nice when you’re just browsing /all when family walk in the room and there’s several thumbnails of females in compromising positions on your screen.


  • just out of interest @Otome-chan@kbin.social, in this pic (https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FeOCDVuVIAElq8s?format=jpg&name=large), how old do you think hayase looks? Keep in mind she is 42 (I guess that’s what that number means, either that or she is the answer to the meaning of life, the universe and everything. So what would be your stance of sexualised images of that character or a similar one? See, thet problem is, all your justifications come from within your lolita community. Not from outside the community, which is ultimately who you are judged by when this shit comes into thte public sphere… So you can go around in your little bubble thinking everything is ok because your are surrounded by other’s who justify it. Until it becomes public and you suddenly expect people to accept your justifications.
