USamericans are absolutely fucking infuriating with their apparent belief and insistence that the US is the only country in the world that has cultural differences within the country itself
#brought to you by the fact that i keep seeing videos to do with this kind of stuff on tiktok#and my boyfriend is fed up of me ranting to him about it#newsflash: every single fucking country has different cultures within the country#not exclusive to the us#and states in the usa arent comparable to countries in the eu

While the external borders are an affront to human rights, the internal EU and Schengen border situation, combined with Europe being tiny, is so funny. My former neighbours got a job in Switzerland but they live in Germany because it's cheaper. My mum's bestie lives just a couple miles from the Polish border - where she goes for gas and groceries. When I did a day trip to Sweden from Germany there were Swedish people on the ferry with huge carts full of alcohol. In some places you cross a street or bridge and you're in a different country. Bilingual signs and towns with two or three names. When I was a child we regularly drove across 3-4 countries for our vacation.
#None of this is exclusive to Europe but that's the situation I'm most familiar with#European Union#And then outside the EU and Schengen you still have places like Turkey#Where one of cities is chilling on two continents

What I mean by fandom blorbo: character that is widely known about even to people who haven’t consumed their media
(This might just be entirely biased by my experience in the dw fandom so sorry in advance for that
Also I could only think of four characters so you just have to deal with that)
#doctor who#dw eu#doctor who eu#fitz kreiner#eighth doctor adventures#gallifrey audios#narvin#braxiatel#irving braxiatel#bernice summerfield#I feel like Narvin might be an odd one out here but he feels like the big finish blorbo to me so I added him#I mean he just keeps getting put in things#(also I’m only including eu exclusive characters)#polls

retcons. they're a writing tool. they're not fundamentally a bad tool. though I greet them more often with an "ugh, retcon" than a "nice, retcon"-
and that's often because they're overwrites. sometimes carelessly so, the 'didn't pay enough attention to what came before'/'guess I changed it' route. And sometimes retcons are the 'that's not the story I want to tell now or I can do better than that' route.
Andor is doing the second type of retcon, and interestingly so, because there wasn't a whole lot there to retcon *and yet* they are managing to do that.
When Rogue One came out, Disney dropped a bunch of expanded universe material. The NEW expanded universe, because they'd already ditched the old one, to avoid conflicts; this new one could be consistent (ha, ha, ha).
In those 2016 detail books we got the facts on Cassian Andor's backstory: from the planet Fest (clearly carefully chosen for its old EU history), father killed during a protest against militarization on Imperial Academy planet Carida (another world with EU history), involved with a Separatist cell from age 6 on...
Anddd anyone who'd read those extended materials knew Andor the show was ditching that backstory within seconds of him dropping the name 'Kenari' in context that was immediately clear it was his home planet. I appreciated at least getting a nod to the backstory we had since 2016 with dropping that his 'cover story' planet was Fest. They definitely were aware and chose not to go that route. And that's OK! they have a story they want to tell, they're digging into some interesting themes and meanings and...
Well. Either way it's a retcon. A minor one that 97% of the audience will never notice or care about. And yes they're still keeping to the spirit of that key line in Rogue One-
"I've been in this fight since I was six years old"
- clearly the mining disaster on Kenari presumably happened when Cassian was six years old. So his childhood was ruined by the Empire then and he's been resisting them ever since, it's not that it renders it untrue it's just-
it's just that he's pulling a moral high ground with that line over Jyn whose life was also ruined by the Empire at eight years old and was raised as a child soldier by Saw Gerrera, a character whose very name is designed to evoke guerilla warfare...?
I mean a Cassian who's already been in prison and is scrapping by and sticking it to the Imperials all he can, drawing those character parallels between them even closer then are we, but the whole crux of that (excellently written & filmed I'm still not over it) argument hinges on Cassian's relationship with/committment to the Rebellion above all else. The show's retcon has just... shortened that relationship. By quite quite a bit.
And there is now some unintentional irony, from this retcon, if Jyn was actually (via Saw's cell) part of the Rebellion longer than Cassian.
...it's fine, it's fine, tbh watch them retcon Jyn's backstory soon enough, it's a very minor retcon and maybe future episodes will reveal Cassian has been doing more actual rebelling than it seems and... nonetheless. Ugh retcon.
#andor#andor spoilers#cassian andor#rogue one#does no one else think kenari sounds a little too much like kenobi#I'm not saying fest is a great name but goddammit it was a planet that existed#i really don't understand why so many of the Disney movies/shows (except Mandalorian to a degree but even Rogue One my beloved did this)#refuse to use and build on old EU planet names#there's a frigging galaxy map#there's decades of source material#and every fan fic writer out there seems capable of doing research and crafting creatively off those details#yet it's mostly just been new planet after new planet#i do like that they name dropped Wobani in Andor#I'm not saying i dislike the show!#the choice to retcon feels a bit dismissive of the work of the writers who put together all those Rogue One books and those who bought?#it's by no means exclusive to this show this kind of thing happens all the time#my writing philosophy is just more 'work with what you have' vs 'this is a round peg and i want a square hole so let's make it a square'#that sounds harsher than i mean it to- sometimes the square hole is the better hole!#but just#ugh retcon

Apropos of nothing I really resent cis people who reduce the entirety of transness to "body dysphoria"
#idk. it just bugs me. there is so much more to it than that#like being trans is not a bad thing and not defined exclusively by dysphoria. gender dysphoria is used to medicalize trans bodies#without ever taking into account the *eu*phoria that comes with being trans#being trans is not only a fucking body-hate slog through life#it is a method of discovering joy and self acceptance and community and i feel sorry for people who dont understand that#*not merely i guess would be a better word to use. it sometimes can be but that isnt all it is

How do people not get exhausted by meta slaving all the time?
#when a 5* character does ridiculous numbers with hundreds of food buffs and your classic supports#everyone is SO in awe of them#but when a 4* unit does ridiculously high numbers with the exact same buffs and damage#suddenly th SUPPORTS are doing all the work and it’s all about the buffs!!! and and and and-#and also trashing on people for using the standard 5* characters (except Mona who everyone worships because she helps their ego)#‘diluc is a trash Pyro unit’ ‘keqing is a waste of time’ ‘get rid of qiqi’ ‘why use jean’#and also calling characters like kokomi and thoma trash because heaven forbid a character not do BIG DAMAGE!!!!#also I find it so funny everyone says the meta slaves are exclusive to the NA server#when all the meta slaves I met were on the EU server and the one I met on NA wasn’t american soooooo#I’m not really mad this isn’t a rant tbh#im just FASCINATED by how rude you can be over how someone plays a GAME#text: bella#this is probably gonna get deleted I am GENUINELY not upset this is just my idle sleep deprived bewilderment

Young people equally voiced a sense of a loss of control in relation to their privacy: Three-quarters of our respondents found social media’s terms of service hard to understand, criticizing the often “technical language” and the take-it-or-leave-it approach social media platforms apply, forcing young people to choose between the perceived threat of social exclusion or signing up at the cost of their privacy. Amnesty has previously called for a ban on targeted advertisement, which relies on the invasive tracking of users. Only the EU has thus far passed regulation to stop large platforms’ profiling of minors for advertising purposes.

Littlest Petshop Lexibook Learning Laptop!
This was legit SO interesting to research considering there's a manual for it. They are made by Lexibook, a European company that produces technology aimed at kids' entertainment and education. They still produce laptops like these even!
Their goal with the LPS laptop was to teach children spelling, math, and French in English-speaking countries. It also taught French children the same thing but taught English as a second language. They had three little buddies that would accompany their learning, cheeky monkey, sporty dog, and cuddly cat. You could chat to them!
Here's a look at some of the games. This model was made in 2009
Lexibook produced multiple different LPS laptops. Here are some of the others!
This one came with a piano it's so cute. There's a listing for it on Australian Amazon, so it looks like it was always sold there!
I honestly have no clue what LPS University is, I've seen other merch with this (such as a hat).
This one is movie-themed which is pretty cool.
Look at the cute lady bug. There's also an alternate coloring and graphic design version.
The alternate was listed on a German website, I wonder if it was sold there too? It's from 2011
Lexibook created a lot of other LPS technology which I'll post! Let me know if you ever used these, I'd love to hear about them!

Exclusive-Apple offers to let rivals access tap-and-go tech in EU antitrust case, sources say
Apple has offered to let rivals access its tap-and-go mobile payments systems used for mobile wallets, three people familiar with the matter said, a move that could settle EU antitrust charges and stave off a possible hefty fine.
The EU competition enforcer last year charged Apple with curbing rivals’ access to its tap-and-go technology, Near-Field Communication (NFC), making it difficult for…

Hey EU besties, would you be interested in a “target exclusive” giveaway? I’ll be home in the states over the summer and I would ship it once I got back to Austria in the fall
#I’m not sure exactly how I’d do it lol I just had the idea#you’d have to be located in the EU for reasons of avoiding taxes fees customs and exorbitant shipping costs haha#and by target exclusive I mean any of the target exclusives!#so if you won you could pick a lover diary OR the lavender bejeweled OR the target speak now vinyl etc#anyways let me know if you’d be interested and I’ll start planning#dspeaks#I don’t know why I wrote lavender bejeweled lol I meant lavender midnights

The PledgeManager has launched!
Thank you for bearing with us. We’re happy to say that, as promised, the PledgeManager has officially launched!
In case you missed it, we detailed earlier this week that the publication of the graphic novel has been pushed back from its original July 2024 estimate into Spring 2025 - you can read the full update here. We also want to take a moment to say that we have seen the outpouring of love and support on Kickstarter, and across various platforms, wishing Colleen well in her recovery and the time needed for the graphic novel - a huge thank you from all of the team for your understanding and patience, and for the genuine community and care we’ve seen these past few days. We appreciate you all.
PledgeManager
With this in mind, we think it’s important to underline: though PledgeManager has launched, you do not need to pay for your shipping fees immediately.
The PledgeManager is there for those who missed the campaign to order the graphic novel, and indeed for any backers who would like to upgrade, get some other add-ons, or the new items. You, as a pre-existing backer, should receive an email with information via Kickstarter and/or PledgeManager to inform you that this is now open to you - note, these are sent in waves of smaller batches, so if you don't get yours immediately, don't panic! It will likely take between 12-18 hours to process all the backers.
You are, of course, welcome to pay your shipping right away if you'd like, however we completely understand that you may want to wait until closer to the fulfilment time, or when more solid dates are confirmed, before actioning this.
For this stage, we have compiled a quick FAQ below covering some key questions:
Will the whole project be moving from Kickstarter to PledgeManager? No. This is just for the fulfilment side and logistics - all updates will still remain here.
Do PledgeManager backers get everything that Kickstarter backers do? No. While the remaining tiers will be made available for those who missed it, with certain stretch goals (e.g. additions to the book, loot boxes, etc), Kickstarter backers have a number of exclusives such as the Good Omens HQ discount code for when the store launches, and the backers only events.
My PledgeManager address will be different to what is listed on my Kickstarter. Is that fine? Yes. We are handling all logistics through PledgeManager and, as such, that is the only place where we will need your address. If you move or need to change any details, that will be the place to do so.
Can I change my address? Yes. You can update your address until we are at the shipping stage. We will keep this option open for as long as possible to ensure maximum flexibility around this.
How are shipping fees calculated? It is based on both weight and the country it is being sent to. We have been working over the past months to streamline processes and bring the costs down from their original starting point.
Do I have to pay just now? You do not need to pay immediately, but payment will need to be made prior to your items being shipped. You now have a bigger window during which you can make payment. As above, we will keep updating you on the progression of the publication schedule, should you be waiting for firmer dates before doing so.
What about taxes and import duty? UK: VAT is included in the costs UK backers pay, there should be no extra tax charges.
US: We believe (but cannot guarantee) that imports under $800USD in value should not attract import duty, those pledges above may be taxed at import.
EU & REST OF THE WORLD: If taxes or duties apply to your pledge, these will need to be paid at time of import into your country. We’ve spent months trying to integrate the costs at this stage, but in having the project open across the globe, it has proven too complex to be able to fully refine and cover all instances and locations, and we’ve been advised that this is the best route forward.
We know a lot of international backers, particularly in the EU – for example – will already be used to this process, and we will keep you all updated on any developments on this front. For all of our backers, we are working hard to make labelling and declaring all of the contents of your pledges as transparent as possible, in order to make taxing and importing as easy and affordable as possible.
I want to buy the new items, but am waiting to pay shipping. Are they limited? The pins, mugs, notebooks - all the new items specifically added to the PledgeManager are not limited and will be available regardless of whether you get them now, or months down the road. The only limited items are the remaining tiers that have moved over from the Kickstarter (e.g. the Obsidian Tier) that were limited to begin with, and a very limited run of the Alien Parking ticket. Everything else is fully available, in perpetuity.
Will you be adding extra items to the PledgeManager? No. What is there at launch is all we plan to include at this point - any new items afterwards will instead originate via the Good Omens HQ store.
Will Kickstarter backers get items first? Yes. We will have a staggered approach for fulfilment: Kickstarter backers, then PledgeManager, then everything that is moving to the Good Omens HQ store will subsequently be made available.
You can also view the more general PledgeManager FAQ at terrypratchett.com.
We will keep PledgeManager and logistical notes present in all the monthly updates going forward, but felt this warranted a dedicated one-off.
These are available as part of the PledgeManager. Another beauty from our pin designer, Carl Sutton.
Thanks again for your patience. Back in the April monthly update.
In short: :)
The Good Omens Pledge Manager has launched:
those who missed the Graphic Novel Kickstarter: Now you can order the Graphic novel, not all things that were in the original Kicstarter are available but there is stil a lot of options and fuckton of lovely ineffable add-ons! :)<3
those who participated inthe original GO GN Kickstarter: you should an email (Dunmanifestin needs more information to fulfill your reward) with a link that logs you (if not log manually) into the pledgemanager and lets you edit the order (add new add ons) (yep, my wallet weeps :D<3)
The addons:
I mean... how can one resist for example these I do not know... :D

I love it when artists be like ✨✨W O R L D TOUR✨✨ and then its just every city in the US of A, three or four cities in Europe. Asia? We don’t know her
OR
The Kpop version seems to be EVERY city TWICE in Asia, at least half of USA and then mayhaps you get two dates for Europe
#im not bitter#nopppe#why would you think that#and im living in a country who usually gets a date#its just you gotta fight the whole of eu for tixs#would it really kill artists to do shows in smaller countries??#just book a smaller venue if you dont think theres enough interest#im not even gonna get into stupid uber super exclusive tickets and the such#WHY#why do those even exist what even
