And Lethal Weapon

He really missed a trick not having it full of dogs ... because Rover ...

This is something I've always found a bit perplexing - US female combat troops often have long hair, which they keep up and tight while working.

Both me and my other half often do physical work (I'm a volunteer firefighter, she does arbourist work on the side) and neither of us can stand having long hair ... if I were doing military work, I can't imagine how needlessly uncomfortable that long hair is!

Same goes for women MMA fighters.

In other news, my other half looks like Sinead O'Connor when she shaves her hair, while I look more like a Gulag escapee for some reason ... so I have to live with a pixie cut or longer.

Blahaj user and former Brit here ... well done Ada for consistency and transparency regarding this.

The whole "let it play out" attitude really says it all, it shows cowardice and a lack of leadership ... kind of like the current prime minister.

Yuuup. Woman in engineering here. I once had a supervisor whose behaviour I thought of as normal, but two guys I worked with separately reported him to HR for bullying after seeing how he treated me.

It's funny, I had many years with almost no career progression, now my boss is a woman and I'm having to get used to the idea that bonuses and promotions are things that actually happen when I work hard.

After the Brexit vote came in I moved away to a lefty part Europe as fast as I could, because I'm a queer woman and I've read the history books.

Every time I've returned to visit my parents the place has seemed to be more shitty ... last year I came away feeling down just from the vibes.

I'm so sorry for the beautiful Trans people of the UK, you deserve better, you deserve to be safe. If you can, get the fuck out of that country - where I am now Greggs would be considered a hate crime, never mind this bullshit.

This is Spain, we grow some amazing food here - if anything this is going to be cheaper than stuffing them full of preservatives and pizza.

For reference my work canteen is 4,50€ for lunch, but there's usually too much good food in a serving so I always take some of it home, and it's good stuff :-)

That's pretty much exactly the opposite of how it worked in Britain from Victorian times through to the 90s

As a woman who used to do cash in hand construction work, I can confidently say more women would do those things if they didn't have to put up with a hostile work environment

Gender non-conforming lesbian here ... this is totally going to be used against people like me, too.

I feel so sorry for young queers in the UK having to grow up with these sorts of attitudes, when I was at school it was Section 28 and I genuinely thought we'd got past that, but the fascist bigots never sleep!

Indeed, when I started at my current job there was a Anglophile guy who was really into the Beatles and other "classic rock" groups. Being from an English speaking country he was keen to talk to me, at length, about music.

After a while I noticed that he never mentioned any groups that even had one woman in the lineup, I started asking his opinion about the likes of Janis Joplin and Heart, and he just kind of locked up.

He will now say a frosty hello to me if I prompt him directly, but that's about it ... he has two daughters who don't talk to him apparently.

Because of the existence of Kiwi Fruit?

Hi, Iḿ not in the US, but earlier this year had the opportunity to try shooting firearms of various sorts for the first time, and it's something I'd like expand my knowledge about ... when I go on youtube the videos I've seen have been American with a right-wing lean which range from comedic, through surreal, and into creepy.

It would be nice to see content from people who are vaguely normal.

(Edit: especially if it has to do with revolvers!)

Are there any other shows out there of this sort of lighthearted nature, yet made with quality writing, out there?

It feels like a lot of recent things we've watched has been a bit grim and/or relies on spectacle rather than telling a good story and working a few jokes in along the way ... the world is on fire, I'd like to stop it and get off, if only for a few minutes at a time.
