I'm surprised they haven't buried Short Circuit 2 with the whole 'brownface' thing.

It's a film i've always enjoyed, loved it as a kid and so is full of nostalgia for me.

Got the Adidas. Not sure if I'll keep them. (The top/front skinny lines on the trainers look even busier in person. And the strawberry floating laces have gold tips :lol: :fp: )

Sold out AGES ago in L. Bought an M a short while after, but I still logged on early every now and then to see if the L would show up :toot: Utterly chuffed. All the chuffs.

New switches arrived! Grabbed some Glorious Panda tactile switches, and boy are these different to the Gateron Browns I began with. There's muuuuch more pushback on them, leading to a much stiffer, more satisfying typing experience. Rubbish for gaming and the like, but they feel amazing for typing.

Just ordered a new Microsoft Surface laptop off the MS store, having just cashed in 117k Rewards points for £100 off too. :toot:

Hotswappable keyboards basically are! The individual switches are all removable, as are the keycaps. Changing everything up is just a question of snapping things in and out.

I thought the same. It's only a matter of time before it's discovered by the cancel generation.

I had fond memories of the first film. Both of the film and watching it with my family, but I would have zero issues with the film being cancelled (however that would work) given Short Circuit's many problematic issues with the handling of a minority character. And these aren't modern, cancel culture hot takes; Fisher Stevens was asked at the time if his playing Ben would cause offence.

Chill out, it's a fun performance. White people are so uptight these days.

Get strawberry floated with this argument. Seriously. Put some strawberry floating thought into your opinions rather than stealing them from your nan.

Watch the 'Indians on TV' episode of Master on None. You'll see South Asian Americans aren't too happy with that gooseberry fool either.

Why just Short Circuit 2? He was a main character in both films.

Don't hand-wave people unhappy with casual racism as virtue signalling.

Can we cool it with the "cancel generation" / SJW / woke / "you're just too sensitive" gooseberry fool flinging on all sides please? Ta.
