- Comment on UK looked at ways to ‘open doors’ to US chlorinated chicken, FoI request shows 2 weeks ago:
I dont want to eat more of their shit than I have to thanks
- Comment on ‘This is not the country I moved to’: the British Indians showing support for Nigel Farage 2 weeks ago:
News flash love. Reform voters dont like brown people.
If they get into power you’ll be on their list.
- Comment on What would the next pres of USA have to do to gain back trust for America? Hold a televised event saying the last person was just a fuck up? 2 weeks ago:
Trust amongst your allies is absolutely fucked. Itll take years for you to get it back
- Comment on Traffic cameras have caught a white RAM 1500 pickup truck driving above the speed limit or running red lights more than 547 times since 2022. It belongs to an NYPD cop. 2 weeks ago:
In the UK you are legally required to say who was driving at the time.
If you refuse then you get the blame.
- Comment on Traffic cameras have caught a white RAM 1500 pickup truck driving above the speed limit or running red lights more than 547 times since 2022. It belongs to an NYPD cop. 2 weeks ago:
This highlights some pretty lax road traffic law tbh.
Not being able to suspend a licence because they were caught on a camera is fucking moronic.
- Comment on Pineapple on pizza? No thanks. Meet the chefs bringing the real Italy to the UK 3 weeks ago:
The thing with food, people like what they like.
A pizza with good quality serrano ham and pineapple is pretty tasty.
Who gives a fuck if its “authentic”? If I wanted authentic I’d have a slab of cooked dough with some cheese on it and nothing else.
- Comment on Humans have worshipped it from dawn of time! 3 weeks ago:
I saw this chalked onto a pavement outside a house a few days ago. The kids who live there are 4 and 6. How do they know?
- Comment on Average new UK electric car price is now lower than petrol vehicles | Autotrader says average EV cost is £785 cheaper, in an important milestone in the move away from fossil fuels 3 weeks ago:
I decided a few years ago that I had 3 conditions for buying an EV.
- They didn’t look like something designed by a child
- They got equal range as a petrol equivalent (minimum 350 miles) and were a decent size (I have a kia ceed)
- The price was the same or less than the petrol equivalent.
My next car will be an EV.
- Comment on Why are prop, non functioning guns way more expensive than airsoft guns? 3 weeks ago:
Fair, but then theres nothing stopping a criminal painting the tip of a real gun orange as well.
It isnt a stretch to imagine cops being trained not to treat guns as harmless toys just because they have bright colours on them
- Comment on How does James Bond run and fight in suits? 3 weeks ago:
Running in a suit is probably a lot easier than running in all the kit police officers need to wear. In the UK -
Boots Thick trousers Body armour Belt with baton/cuffs/radio and potentially taser Jacket.
- Comment on Why are prop, non functioning guns way more expensive than airsoft guns? 3 weeks ago:
As an airsofter the only two reasons I can think of are
1.airsoft weapons aren’t “perfect” replicas. Whilst I can’t tell the difference, a history or weapons nerd might be able to and it would ruin immersion.
2.airsoft weapons generally lack moving parts. When I fire my rifle, nothing happens except a pellet flies out. A replica might need to eject a pretend cartridge or have some form of recoil if its being used for a movie for instance?
Other than that, I have no idea.
Also, it seems insane to me that airsoft weapons need an orange tip in the USA, a country that famously makes it easy to own a real gun.
- Comment on Just leave it on the porch bro 3 weeks ago:
On what planet do doctors wear flowing white robes with red pashmenas/shawls?
Demented piece of shit
- Comment on OpenAI backs an Illinois bill shielding AI labs from liability, even for “critical harms” like 100+ deaths or $1B+ in damage, if they published safety reports 4 weeks ago:
The news that they won’t be building a data centre in the UK was amazing to me.
Fucking hate AI
- Comment on Apple’s New iPhone Update Is Restricting Internet Freedom in the UK — Big Brother Watch 4 weeks ago:
Thanks!
- Comment on Apple’s New iPhone Update Is Restricting Internet Freedom in the UK — Big Brother Watch 4 weeks ago:
I was told I needed to provide ID on Steam.
I’m 43 years old and my account is 21.
When i pointed out that my account was older than the legal age for someone to drink alcohol and that from their records they could see my debit card, name and address history meant I was obviously old enough to not be affected by the Online Safety Act they just shrugged and said “computer says no”
- Comment on UK says Russia ran submarine operation over cables and pipelines 4 weeks ago:
So if Russia deny having any subs in the area, does that mean if we sink one we can just shrug our shoulders and ask “what sub”?
- Comment on you ot' a bloody loisense for that bottle o watta innit? 4 weeks ago:
Fur youz lot, the war of independence was a definin minute in your historee.
For uz it was a fackin chewsday innit
- Comment on Katie Price banned from driving for seventh time 4 weeks ago:
Surprised she didn’t attend court and give another load of bullshit about having to care for Harvey
- Comment on Some things were better in the good old days 4 weeks ago:
Weird. So basically deleting a comment does nothing
- Comment on Some things were better in the good old days 4 weeks ago:
How did you see my comment? I realised someone else had written the same thing and deleted it
- Comment on Would it be silly of me to get a small dog if I am a little afraid of bigger ones? 4 weeks ago:
I recommend a cockapoo or cavapoo.
Ours is 5. She loves to snuggle. She loves to play. She’s particularly good with our 2 year old nephew who was afraid of dogs, she is very gentle and patient with him (obviously we need to sit poised and ready to intervene as he can be a bit clumsy).
They also make amazing proximity alarms. If anyone so much as dares walk by the house she’s up at the window barking her little head off (mainly because she sees a friend she hasn’t met yet).
- Comment on In this modern world of AI, with devices everywhere having microphones, is it even safe to satirically joke and banter with a friend anymore? 4 weeks ago:
COULDN’T care less.
Ffs.
By saying “could care less” you imply you still care, but there is room to reduce your level of caring.
Here is a video explainer
- Comment on What the Hell is this Bull shit ? 5 weeks ago:
An imperial pint is 568ml
- Comment on Is the UK falling out of love with social media? 5 weeks ago:
Nah, its mundane. Generally community notices and things for sale. Sometimes it’ll be a heads up about suspicious people checking door handles or something
- Comment on Is the UK falling out of love with social media? 5 weeks ago:
I never post anything on Facebook and haven’t for years. I only keep it for the local community page,otherwise I’d bin it off
- Comment on What the Hell is this Bull shit ? 5 weeks ago:
Ah right, I’m not good at maths so thank you.
- Comment on What the Hell is this Bull shit ? 5 weeks ago:
Then there’s some dodgy measurements going on the side of that can.
Also explains when I’ve been in America and asked for a pint of beer I’ve been given a child’s size glass compared to what I’m used to
- Comment on What the Hell is this Bull shit ? 5 weeks ago:
TIL that an American pint (500ml) is smaller than a British pint (568ml).
- Comment on Ex-Alex Jones employee reflects on job at Infowars: ‘It was nonsense. It was lies’ 5 weeks ago:
How is Jones still around?
Are the American courts so weak that they can’t enforce the multiple judgments against him?
- Comment on British cyclist refused £15k payout because thieves ‘weren’t violent enough’ 5 weeks ago:
So reading between the lines, they were left in an unlocked van, or a locked van that had a lock that wasn’t suitable for securing £15,000 of gear.
My wife has two very expensive road bikes. They are d-locked onto a fixed shelving unit in the garage as a condition of the insurance. I did this because when I insured the bikes as specific named items on the house insurance I asked them what steps I needed to take.
This doesn’t take away from the fact that this is entirely the fault of the criminals, but being morally right and the insurance company being morally wrong won’t lead to a payout if they can prove you didn’t secure your property in a manner consistent with the insurance policy. And I can guarantee with items this expensive there would have been explicit conditions of insurance
