- Comment on A $40,000-per-Year AI School With No Teachers Is Opening in Oklahoma This August 1 week ago:
This is just so fucking stupid.
MAGATS will love it if it means they don’t need to pay for woke teachers.
- Comment on Can anyone tell me what type of bird this is I keep seeing? 1 week ago:
I think they might be wildly different storylines. I think theres a brief moment in the wizard of Oz where Dorothy is captured by the wicked witch but I wouldn’t call it the prison story.
- Comment on Can anyone tell me what type of bird this is I keep seeing? 1 week ago:
I was talking about the film lol
- Comment on Can anyone tell me what type of bird this is I keep seeing? 1 week ago:
Its a flying monkey from Oz
- Comment on Britain ‘Does Not Have Enough Water’ for Planned AI Data Centre Boom 1 week ago:
Good. So no data centres.
- Comment on China ‘strongly dissatisfied’ with nationalisation of British Steel 1 week ago:
Well we just give them what they say its worth - zero. The value of a bankrupt company that we were bankrolling anyway.
- Comment on How to fly from the US to the UK as a duel citizen? 2 weeks ago:
You just carry both passports with you…
- Comment on The Dark Side of Match Day | Domestic Abuse Rises Whatever The Result 2 weeks ago:
I will never understand why people get so het up over this game.
But then wife beaters don’t really need an excuse
- Comment on Why is gun violence lower in Switzerland than in the US? 2 weeks ago:
The question is, why.
- Comment on With Tech growing so fast the humans can barely keep up. Is there a so called "paper trail" for things? Like in medical stuff. Or other things so you can track it back to a single person. 2 weeks ago:
Being able to log/audit/restore and rollback is a requirement for any system that hopes to gain ISO27001 certification and all the systems I work with in my field have that ability.
The paper trail on our safeguarding systems are significantly more robust than the old paper based alternatives.
- Comment on Why is gun violence lower in Switzerland than in the US? 2 weeks ago:
I’m convinced that Americans are just inherently more violent/aggressive when compared to the citizens of any other developed nation.
Even without guns, their murder and violence rates surpass the UK/Aus/NZ/Canada (so all the anglo-nations) and all of Western, Northern and most of Central and Eastern Europe.
- Comment on 2026 UK heatwave estimated to have killed more than 2,700 people 2 weeks ago:
Same age range as the boomers who keep reminding us “bUt iT wAs hOt iN 1976”.
Yes, we know. It was hot, for a couple of weeks. Once.
- Comment on Only 2% of Surrey car thefts end in criminal charge 2 weeks ago:
Yeah totally misread it.
No explanation in that case except it must be the work of organised criminals who are able to export the vehicles pretty quickly.
- Comment on 2 weeks ago:
Bore off.
Some people are absolutely deserving of death and we should rejoice when they are gone.
- Comment on Only 2% of Surrey car thefts end in criminal charge 2 weeks ago:
This isnt a surprise.
When i was in the police it was all but impossible to solve a crime involving simple theft from a car.
It’s probably easier now as CCTV is far more common, but generally unless someone saw it happening our chances of catching the perpetrator were essentially zero. It is one of the easiest crimes to get away with
- Comment on How would you evaluate having more pay vs an easier job? 2 weeks ago:
I’m on 52k (which in the UK is a good salary). I don’t want for money, can generally buy whatever I want/need but still need to be careful not to go overboard.
But I’m stressed out. All the fucking time, I’m seriously considering leaving for a job with slightly worse pay but significantly less responsibility
- Comment on You needed to exhibit at least one to be admitted to the "lunatic asylum" 2 weeks ago:
Politics and deranged masturbation…
Well that’s everyone here I guess
- Comment on What is the big deal with data centers or whatever? How can they give off pollution? I get it may cause a spike electricity but shouldn't the company give residents a discount for having theirs? 3 weeks ago:
Data centres, like other large industrial facilities often have cooling equipment/HVAC installed on the outside of the building.
That shit is loud if it doesnt have proper sound proofing installed.
I live about 750m away from a factory that didn’t have the soundproofing until I got the local council enforcement team involved. At my front door and in our bedroom the noise level was averaging around 60db if we left the windows open (which wasnt an option in warm weather).
- Comment on Political rivals vow to boycott byelection after Farage quits as MP 3 weeks ago:
Keep talking dirty to me
- Comment on UK waters hit with extreme heatwave as global sea temperatures reach record levels 3 weeks ago:
Yeah but it was hot for that one week in 1976 or something.
- Comment on What is it like being drunk? How much control do you have? 3 weeks ago:
I get chattier, friendlier and then really tired. Then I fall asleep.
It also loosens inhibitions but I’ve never done anything illegal/immoral whilst drunk
- Comment on Political rivals vow to boycott byelection after Farage quits as MP 3 weeks ago:
That would be fucking incredible
- Comment on Political rivals vow to boycott byelection after Farage quits as MP 3 weeks ago:
I agree with the sentiment of the other parties, but guaranteeing this worm the ability to say “i won with 100% of the vote” seems wrong.
- Comment on What are your thoughts on people who say hate speech is free speech? 3 weeks ago:
Total freedom of speech is the most obvious example of the paradox of tolerance.
Fascists rise to power. They silence their critics, corrupt the judiciary and other independent organs of state power.
They are eventually destroyed by liberal forces.
Liberalism then creates a system of free speech, giving all voices equal credence and is tolerant of hate speech.
Fascists use that tolerance to further spread their messaging, eventually leading to the downfall of liberal democracy and a rise of fascist totalitarianism/populist etc etc.
- Comment on Police criticise decision to let pubs stay open until 5am for England match 3 weeks ago:
Let’s be honest, its a stupid fucking idea.
Sunday has always been a day of minimal staffing levels. Dragging in hundreds of cops in on their days off at this short notice is going to cost a small fortune
- Comment on Overrated GTA hype 4 weeks ago:
Realising that PC gamers will be a lot more discerning about graphics quality and will expect 60fps+ framerates. And they just can’t do it
- Comment on My pizza doesn't list the temperature it should be cooked at 4 weeks ago:
Pizza - always 12-15 minutes at 180c.
- Comment on UK considers forcing social media firms to prioritise trusted news 5 weeks ago:
My brother is one of these.
We both had exactly the same middle class upbringing. Loving parents, decent schools, holidays etc.
He’s gone down a rabbit hole of conspiracies. Chemtrails, faked moon landings, you name it, he believed it.
He was fucking irritating but his nonsense wasn’t actually hurting anyone. However now he is trying to convince my nephew that vaccines are evil and they’ve decided to home educate my niece.
Its all stuff hes been exposed to on the internet.
- Comment on UK considers forcing social media firms to prioritise trusted news 5 weeks ago:
So why do you even care?
- Comment on UK considers forcing social media firms to prioritise trusted news 5 weeks ago:
They’d do better to force the companies to deprioritise false and malicious content.
Every other video is some lunatic talking about chemtrails or spreading lies about asylum seekers.
