- Comment on Sainsbury's staff beat up shoplifter after dragging him into the back room 5 hours ago:
That assumes that people think rationally and without emotion.
- Comment on Sainsbury's staff beat up shoplifter after dragging him into the back room 7 hours ago:
If it’s someone doing it a lot I can see getting pissed off, especially if there happens to be other history with the person.
- Comment on Sainsbury's staff beat up shoplifter after dragging him into the back room 8 hours ago:
With the police effectively decimalising shop lifting I don’t find it surprising that this kind of thing will start to happen.
- Comment on This used book that I bought for 12£ on the internet was apparently previously bought from Oxfam for 1.99£ 1 day ago:
Which means even if it’s not available in OPs local library they could go to their library and get it on an interlibrary loan.
- Comment on This used book that I bought for 12£ on the internet was apparently previously bought from Oxfam for 1.99£ 1 day ago:
If the shipping is more than 99p it would have been cheaper for you to buy it new.

Oh, better far to live and die
Under the brave black flag I fly,
Than play a sanctimonious part,
With a pirate head and a pirate heart
Away to the cheating world go you,
Where pirates all are well to do,
But I’ll be true to the song I sing,
And live and die a Pirate King!
For I am a Pirate King!
And it is, it is a glorious thing
To be a Pirate King
I am a Pirate King!
- Comment on Dead Games News: Response from UK Government 1 week ago:
I’ve not watched either, but this is probably the relevant extract from the wall of text that the UK gov put up.
If consumers are led to believe that a game will remain playable indefinitely for certain systems, despite the end of physical support, the CPRs may require that the game remains technically feasible (for example, available offline) to play under those circumstances.

- Comment on Why do people still eat beef when we know it's terrible for Earth? 1 week ago:
OK, but why not eat less beef and more chicken and herring?
- Comment on Why do people still eat beef when we know it's terrible for Earth? 1 week ago:
In my country at least beef consumption peaked around 2012 (theguardian.com/…/uk-meat-consumption-lowest-leve…)
I think post WW2 there was a drive towards the idea that we’d never need to go without. This combined with lifestyle changes (more people working longer hours) gave birth to the rise of fast convince foods and the mass growth of places like McDonalds and Burger King.
Why don’t people just stop? Ideas within society have a lot of momentum, they take a lot of energy to get started and a lot to turn or stop again.

It’s not a planet.
But you’d die before before weighing yourself.
Would have been a better end panel IMO.

Yeah it wasn’t entirely serious.

Tell me you’re 14 and have never worked a day in your life without telling me you’re 14 and have never worked a day in your life.
- Comment on What kind of institutional gaslighting is this? 2 weeks ago:
Not increasing pay isn’t quit firing, because there is no firing. It is just businesses being stingy.
it’s constructive dismissal.
- Comment on Drug shortages, now normal in UK, made worse by Brexit, report warns 4 weeks ago:
Doesn’t matter. I fully understand that correlation does equal causation.
The pro Brexit media would spin everything as being the fault of the EU. So why can’t people who are pro EU spin everything that’s bad as being because of Brexit?
There’s nothing false about the headline I put forward (its there in the article) it’s just spin. And that’s still better than the out and out lies we were fed by the eurosceptic press in the decades up til our leaving.
- Comment on *sweating intensifies* 4 weeks ago:
Yes. If you count taxi drivers, lorry drivers, bus drivers, delivery drivers.
I think mostly it’ll be the first option though, and a happy feeling from “sticking it to the man”.
- Comment on Drug shortages, now normal in UK, made worse by Brexit, report warns 4 weeks ago:
I think that’s optimistic to be honest.
2025-2030 it’ll be Labour maybe improving the relationship a bit but showing that the other major party can’t really make a go of it.
2030-2035 probably still labour. At this point things will be more settled and other issues will be at the fore. Hopefully electoral reform.
2035-2040 either growing feeling that we’d be better off in the EU than out of it, or if we’re really lucky the first PR elected government and it can be talked about.
2040-2045 if PR then pro EU coalition probably looks to get maybe get us into the EEC. If no PR then main parties start to openly admit that public mood has changed and saying we’d be better in is no longer political suicide.
2045-2050 If PR we start to put feelers out to the EU and bring ourselves in line with them. If no PR the calls for a referendum start.
- Comment on Drug shortages, now normal in UK, made worse by Brexit, report warns 4 weeks ago:
I hate how Brexit is played down even in this headline. It makes it seem like it was always going to get like this and Brexit just made it a bit worse.
“Drug shortages more than double since we left the EU”
Is how I want to see these headlines spun.
