- Comment on Live Updates: Trump Held in Contempt Again as His Criminal Trial Speeds Along 1 week ago:
1000 is the maximum fine they can give. Most people would have got the “up to 30 days in jail” by now though.
- Comment on Voyager 1 1 week ago:
From what I read there was damage to the memory in certain places so they’ve had to move the code into spare places in memory.
It’s an astounding feat tbh.
- Comment on The Biggest Box Office Bombs of 2023 1 week ago:
I do wonder how good of a statistic box office is nowadays with all the streaming services available.
A lot of people I know just don’t bother with the cinema anymore.
- Comment on Live Updates: Judge Holds Trump in Contempt of Court, Fining Him $9,000 2 weeks ago:
While violations of the gag order can be punishable by up to 30 days in prison under New York state law, prosecutors only asked Merchan to fine Trump $1,000 per violation for now—the maximum fine allowed under state law—though they also suggested the judge warn future violations could be met with imprisonment
Basically total bullshit. He should be locked up for how much he’s done it. Anyone else would be.

- Comment on Sunak to cite Britain’s ‘sicknote culture’ in bid to overhaul fit note system 3 weeks ago:
The state of the mental health system in the UK is absolutely disgusting.
If people could actually access help I’m certain less would be off work.
- Comment on if the bird flu started spreading between humans, how long would you need to stay quarantined before it was safe to come out?? 1 month ago:
It’s not just Devs. It’s essentially any office job.
Accountants or lawyers don’t need to be in the same building anymore than Devs do.

- Comment on CD Projekt CFO does "not see a place for microtransactions in single-player games" 1 month ago:
If they want to sell skins that are purely cosmetic I don’t have an issue with that. Some people have money to drop on stuff like that and it helps fund the game.
Loot boxes on the other hand can absolutely get fucked. It’s gambling, plain and simple. It has no place in games.

There’s no need to mention their race right? Unless it was a racially motivated attack, which I don’t remember coming up.

That’s just a long way of saying the same thing. Not as catchy imo.

Firstly the safety net it provides.
Then it all comes down to how much you are taxed back and the threshold. Most high earners wouldn’t notice it. And they would have had the payment until they started earning high.
You or your partner could stay at home with the children, your kids would get money, you can get sick without worrying about money, it helps everyone.
High earners already pay higher taxes.
If your argument against it is “what about selfish rich people” then I would say fuck em.
- Comment on Trans youth will no longer be prescribed puberty blockers, NHS England says 1 month ago:
Those weren’t evidence based treatments to begin with. When we got evidence we stopped using them.
Puberty blockers already have evidence. They’ve been used since the 80s.
- Comment on Trans youth will no longer be prescribed puberty blockers, NHS England says 1 month ago:
When you stop taking them puberty continues as normal.
We’ve been using them for a long time on people who start puberty too early. And know they are effective and safe.
- Comment on I hate the term "Boomer Shooter" 1 month ago:
Boomer basically means 20+ years old nowadays as far as I can tell. Or older than zoomers.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
This seems like it’s the only way it would work.
Everyone gets a certain amount a month.
You get taxed a certain amount back depending how much you make above some threshold. The average wage could be good.
So now the high earners are funding the system. But if they get sick and can’t work the tax goes away but they’re still getting that base payment automatically.
Low earners get help and high earners get a safety net.

Yeah weirdly my parents (in their 60s) are getting into tiktok, reels and Facebook.

You’re just not the target audience. Likely too old.

I get that pets can increase the amount of damage a property suffers.
I had to pay a cat deposit when I moved in and got it back when I proved I had properly cleaned the carpets.

In my country you can’t give a bad reference but you can refuse to give one.
If your former employer declined to provide one that’s a pretty big red flag.
Your previous employer is the person most likely to know if you are a good employee tbf.

All 3 of those are misogynistic view points.
- Comment on Has Google’s search results drastically declined for anyone else? 2 months ago:
100% the page ranking system is too easy to abuse. So a lot of garbage gets to the top of results.
But the internet is just too big to do proper index searches like the old days.

Just don’t buy it.
30 is nothing to some people. It’s up to them if they want it or not. Doesn’t affect you.
