@Antifreeze @fineursine if it's any consolation, it looks like part of the first announcement is "it's gonna be not culturally shitty this time": https://io9.gizmodo.com/avatar-the-last-airbender-is-being-reborn-as-a-netflix-1829139229?rev=1537285381381&utm_medium=Socialflow&utm_source=Kotaku_Facebook&utm_campaign=Socialflow_Kotaku_Facebook
long story
@tfproxy my team is spread across several different locations, and for a while the US tried to conference the UK in on a big monthly meeting they had. It culminated in a long session where a bunch of people in the US were getting up and talking about who they are and what they do, but because the webcam was at the front of the room all we saw was a succession of butts as they stood directly in front of the camera and faced the crowd in the room.
They stopped adding us in after that

@angrboda you are great, FYI
@kotep I mean, that duck is already a pretty good ambassador, to be fair
Proud to have my home country recognised for having a government minister who sounds like a citizen of Duckburg: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/sep/07/trevor-the-lonely-duck-gets-tiny-island-of-niue-in-a-flap
@angrboda @fineursine I am pleased to see that bacon & egg pie discussion is still ongoing.
To be fair, I would try homemade apple pie, it just hasn't come up yet
@fineursine happy birthday dude! I hope you have a great one!
@fineursine @angrboda one thing that really put it into perspective for me was that an image of the big clap back to an alt-right dude that the founder of masto did was at hundreds of retweets on Twitter, but the original actual masto post was at like, 30.
Viral-ness just isn't a thing here, and that's kind of a selling point

@fineursine yo, that's really rad! Congratulations dude, well done!
@kotep this view was very Scotland, so yeah, that makes sense that it can kinda sub in for pretty much anywhere there
@angrboda please be a good and careful potate, I love you
@kotep no joke, I'd watch it
@angrboda I keep meaning to schedule the next recording session but then every weekend I look at for it just turns out to be somehow undoable
TIL: Arlington national cemetery is where it is because used to be the front yard of Robert E Lee's house, and when they needed a new cemetery in the US civil war someone basically went "well, if he's gonna make all our boys into corpses, then we'll fill his yard with them so no one can ever live in that house again"
