  • Twinnings is my usual. Pukka, mostly for herbies, and various supermarket ownbrands (not each of them’s cheapest ownbrand mind you). Yorkshire is decent, PG tips OK but I never buy the latter myself.

    Guizhou Mao Jian (毛尖) of various brands is decent too, if you can find it. More commonly I love an English Breakfast, Earl and Lady Grey, Rooibos, and various herbal concoctions.

    Edit: nicest brand of tea I had was TWG, and they were amazing. Too expensive for me to ever buy for myself, though.








  • You’re not wrong.

    But I also don’t think it’s a big delta in risk chance in a lot of cases, meanwhile in some parts of the world (looking at you East Asia) spy cameras are a huge problem.

    There are, I imagine millions of nude photos taken that never leak.

    I think a reason many feminists feel strongly on the issue is that it really throws society’s whore-virgin paradigm into relief, where women with sexuality are pushed to take the blame for their actions without much (any) consideration for them as people. Which is the reason “just don’t take them” gets the hostile reaction it does, and is a ridiculed response.





  • Person 1 takes some nudes and sends them to committed long term partner, long term partner’s cyber security is lax and Person C gets access to P1’s nudes and uploads them.

    Person 2 has never taken nude photos, but unknown to them used a fitting room that Person D had hidden a spy camera in. Person D uploads these photos to the Internet.

    How different do you think these two cases are?


  • Having done the research of going to the url on side the of the image, turns out the cartoonist does satirical cartoons that have been published in The Guardian and The Village Voice.

    Whether the average person recognises this, (average probably varies by location quite a lot) I’m now quite happy to triple down on satirical.






  • Thanks, it is fun to play with language. I almost went for the more boring “maculate”.

    I find something comedic about a Germanesque mash of prefixes and suffixes. Maybe one day I’ll stumble across a newfangled word that can live in the cupboard of our collective vocabulary.
