Anyone know any?

For like if a pirate site is having server problems so the problem is on there end, something that pings users once it's working again so we don't have to keep going back refreshing and getting our hearts broken?

Looking for good scam of the Roger Mellie story in which Roger is ousted from a Jim'll fix it style show for Jimmy Saville for not bring family friendly enough, ends with a cut to present with Roger and Tom in the pub reading about yewtree in the paper and ends on the line "Well Tom they backed the wrong fucking horse there didn't they?" "Certainly did Roger."

I know I've heard this term used before but can't call it to mind, it's like the trans equivalent of "style icon" meaning this persons look informs things about the way you present yourself post transition.

Example

FTM person: I'm a big Keanu Reeves fan, he's my personal _________ for my transition

MTF: My personal __________ is Cameron Diaz, specifically as she appeared in the movie the 1994 Jim Carrey movie, the Mask.

And no it was not just "transition goal" but it was close to that

Does a major sports win for a country undergoing a surge of far right nationalism serve to embolden it and make it more dangerous or mollify and give it's base less to complain about and thus remove some of their motive to, just for example, tear down pride flags and burn down the homes of immigrants?

Yes this is an England/football question, because the thing is every major football tournament I root for england to lose because I hate when you can't go anywhere without hearing about football and england fans are particularly obnoxious. However we're also experiencing a wave of nationalist xenophobia right now and that made me think on how such waves are usually down to dip in the economy and national mood. So my question is essentially, would england winning the world cup make these people more or less likely to do mass violence?

So the UK and Japan have a lot of similarities,we're both island nations, we both used to have empires we both have national reputations for being polite if also uptight and also we both have royal families. And I've always wondered does the Japanese attitude to your monarchy resemble ours? as in most people are indifferent, some are diehard devotees that think the country would collapse without them and some want them gone for political philosophical or religous reasons.
