I am helpless to do anything other than offer my well wishes and suggest you arm yourself, as is your country’s custom. I fear it’s going to get a lot worse yet.

Doing exactly what
FoxGB News tells them to do.Knuckle dragging troglodytes being lead around proudly by their prejudice.
- Comment on Minimum wage isn't survivable anymore 4 days ago:
… Who keep voting in people who make no secret of actively wanting to make their lives worse because they promise to hurt the outsiders of constantly varying form.
Stupid does as stupid is.
- Comment on How hard/fast would a baseball have to go to completely pass through a pitcher? Like leave a hole through flesh? 1 week ago:
I’m ok with this.
- Comment on Food served to US service men & women. 1 week ago:
I bet you can imagine Russian soldiers in that position. Why not Americans?
There are plenty of places in the US where abject poverty reigns supreme, same as Russia. Factor in the ever present propaganda, and their fate was never their own, sadly.
- Comment on 1 week ago:
Moscow can accuse all they fucking want. Fucking troglodytes.
I’m categorically not a fan of how most of this world functions, but I also know for fucking sure that Russia’s current system of “oligarchy lead by sociopathic ex-KGB scumbag” is not an improvement.
- Comment on Extra Milky 1 week ago:
They don’t actually skim milk anymore. They haven’t for years. They literally dilute milk with water at some part of the homogenisation process IIRC. Gonna have to go look it up now… 😂
- Comment on Food served to US service men & women. 1 week ago:
I would say none, but the closest to desperation I’ve personally been was scrounging for coal that fell off the train to the docks when we as a family couldn’t afford to buy it. (No coal, no heat, no hot water, etc.)
I can imagine though, that watching my own children cry from the cold and hunger. Watching my own flesh and blood get thinner and weaker and being otherwise powerless to help them might make me consider rather strongly the paycheck offered by anyone at all.
That you apparently can’t imagine any scenario that would give you personally (and therefore by extension anyone else), cause to consider doing heinous things for money is bizarre.
- Comment on Food served to US service men & women. 1 week ago:
Would that choice have been as easy if you had your own children to consider? Would it have been so easy to make your own children and spouse homeless too?
The point is everyone is susceptible given the right circumstances. The system is literally designed to create desperation, and to keep ratcheting that up until people relent.
By all means try and convince people not to give in. Support them and help them, try to ensure they don’t reach their breaking point. But don’t try and pretend that desperation to escape their given shitshow isn’t what drives a lot of recruitment.
- Comment on Extra Milky 1 week ago:
I do.
Also, random shower thought… since they charge the same for whole milk as they do for semi or fully skimmed, why aren’t people just buying whole milk and watering it down?
- Comment on Food served to US service men & women. 1 week ago:
No, I’m pointing out the hypocrisy in you pretending to know what it is to be desperate, that you can judge others in such a position.
I ain’t justifying diddly squat.
- Comment on Food served to US service men & women. 1 week ago:
Spoken like someone who’s never truly known desperation or genuine hunger. ie. One of the bourgeoisie who’d be first against the wall.

You know of Mr. Blobby, right?
- Comment on Easy Delivery Co. I'll just be a little car driving a kei truck around a mountain town. 2 weeks ago:
The word would be “envenomed” 💛
- Comment on Where Are the Climate Protests? Human Rights Group Warns Government Crackdown Is Silencing the Green Movement 2 weeks ago:
And risk getting twatted with a terrorism sentence despite not being tried for terrorism?
The Govt knows exactly what they’re doing and unless we collectively do something about it, the UK depicted in V for Vendetta is closer to reality than people think.
The UK’s own version of Fox News continues it’s work in misinforming and winding up the gormless berks that take it’s every word as gospel truth. A Reform led Government is very possible in a couple of years if Burnham doesn’t get everyone on-side with actual results, which is a big fucking ask given the circumstances.
- Comment on Llaneli man reached 140mph to 'get to gym after argument' and hit taxi 2 weeks ago:
At 19 you are incapable of properly assessing risk. Medically, clinically, not capable. The brain structures required haven’t finished being built yet.
The realistic answer to the problem is that children shouldn’t be given responsibility for multi-ton vehicles capable of such destruction when misused.
- Comment on Wetherspoon bans filming on Meta glasses inside pubs 4 weeks ago:
Well, they’ve just banned “spywear” wholesale from UK Court premises which will make it easier for pubs and the like to do the same.
- Comment on New IRA warns migrants to ‘leave in 24 hours or else’ as security fears explode 4 weeks ago:
If I’m reading it right… No we don’t.
A terrorist group from the Republic of Ireland are threatening “migrants” (anyone darker in skin tone than they are) in Ireland (Not part of the UK).
The issue for the UK is when those subject to these threats and violence flee to Northern Ireland (part of the UK).
Sure this group want northern Ireland back, but that’s not what this round of cockwaving is about.
- Comment on I do this every time 4 weeks ago:
I performed surgery on my microwave to remove it’s piezo for exactly this reason. Fucker was loud, and I was having fucking none of it.
- Comment on Does Israel have a right to your tax dollars? 4 weeks ago:
It’s not antisemitic to decline to continue funding a fucking genocide.
Israel has no right to financial assistance for their violent theft of other people’s land and livelihood.
Fuck all the way off with your piss poor propaganda.

- Comment on Don't be so quick to judge 5 weeks ago:
Well, imagine this, but A is also loaning the money to C to keep the circle going, and you’ve got state of the “AI” market.
And people are yet still convinced “it’s not a bubble”.
- Comment on Amazon thought it would be a good idea to not include subtitles in a film made entirely with sign language. 5 weeks ago:
Yeah. Fuck all that shit.
I’m living in the “how it happened” stages of Idiocracy. What the fuck is this timeline?!
- Comment on Burnham to make some benefits conditional and ‘get serious’ about cutting welfare 1 month ago:
Because if you boil it down to the bare basics those the country is in hock to; those that run the investment funds that own the country’s debt, as well as most of it’s essential services (power, water/sanitation, transport, etc.) have the entire country held hostage.
They simply threaten to melt the country down if the status quo isn’t protected.
Every single person’s pension/savings/entire life’s worth is dependant on these people not fucking everyone over. The actual country’s debt is in the same hands.
Shy of complete a meltdown and reset they have complete control over how the country is run, which is why things are the way the are.
- Comment on Why don't politicians during a hearing let the person they are questioning actually answer questions and speak? 1 month ago:
The more I learn about how American politics doesn’t function, the more I’m affirmed in my belief that Trump is doing the rest of the world a “yuge” favour by destroying the US’ international advantages and alliances with his ignorant, egocentric tantrums and “quiet part out loud” corruption.
- Comment on Got fired over a peproncini today so expect a lot of bullshit for the next couple days. 1 month ago:
Because they’ve mostly been individually convinced if they just work hard enough they too will be one of the rich few, and that everyone but them personally deserves nothing but contempt and hate for not working hard enough.
This ensures each individual vociferously defends the rich, as they too will soon be one of them, which flat out kills any collective action to better everyone’s position.

I’m on the list!
I’m a literal nobody… Man, I’m so proud right now… 😁
- Comment on Finally HR does something right 1 month ago:
It’s time I can’t be doing things I’d like to be, because It’s in the middle of a workday.
The company wants me to pay it for any inconvenience I cause it, the same should apply in the other direction. I already give up time for nothing in the commute they insist on in order to validate the existence of middle management and their investment in real estate, you want me to take the break I biologically need to be effective at work as unpaid too?
Shill harder.
- Comment on Urine Luck 1 month ago:
No, not all of them, you’re right. They’re now just another thing only the rich have access to.
I wouldn’t even know where to start, being a poor.
- Comment on Urine Luck 1 month ago:
Actually bananas used to taste kinda like what banana flavouring tastes like.
But they all died, so now we have another monoculture variety, because they learned fucking nothing the first time.
