- Comment on Trans Pride Brighton secures £121,278 grant to safeguard community centre for next five years 1 day ago:
So if a building can do it for £24,000 a year, why did Farage need £5m?
- Comment on Tributes paid to Jason Arday after ex-Cambridge professor found dead 1 day ago:
You must have been reading different articles then because it all seemed to be about him.
- Comment on Tributes paid to Jason Arday after ex-Cambridge professor found dead 2 days ago:
I’ll defer to your knowledge on the matter, as one of the 99% who had no real idea he existed I’m not going to pretend I know more about what was happening.
But as a lay-person, I believe the matter deserved investigation and scrutiny from the University and exam boards. Not a trial by media
- Comment on Tributes paid to Jason Arday after ex-Cambridge professor found dead 2 days ago:
I suspect 99% of people have never heard of him outside of academia.
At the end of the day he was just a university professor. He didn’t deserve what he got.
Rapists get better protection from the media.
- Comment on Tributes paid to Jason Arday after ex-Cambridge professor found dead 4 days ago:
A private citizen hounded to death by the media.
If it could happen to him it could happen to any of us
- Comment on [deleted] 6 days ago:
People saying “woke” to describe things they don’t like is brilliant.
It means you know immediately whether or not someone is a moron and so makes it easy to avoid them
- Comment on Welsh Man Arrested After Standing on a Hospital Roof Dressed as the Grim Reaper 1 week ago:
He was arrested for causing a disturbance. You’d be arrested for the same thing if you acted like a dickhead at a school or in a police station.
I suspect he was probably asked to stop by hospital staff and he refused, hence the fine
- Comment on A $40,000-per-Year AI School With No Teachers Is Opening in Oklahoma This August 4 weeks 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? 4 weeks 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? 4 weeks ago:
I was talking about the film lol
- Comment on Can anyone tell me what type of bird this is I keep seeing? 4 weeks ago:
Its a flying monkey from Oz
- Comment on Britain ‘Does Not Have Enough Water’ for Planned AI Data Centre Boom 4 weeks ago:
Good. So no data centres.
- Comment on China ‘strongly dissatisfied’ with nationalisation of British Steel 4 weeks 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? 4 weeks ago:
You just carry both passports with you…
- Comment on The Dark Side of Match Day | Domestic Abuse Rises Whatever The Result 5 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? 5 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. 5 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? 5 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 5 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 5 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 5 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 5 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? 5 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" 5 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? 5 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 1 month ago:
Keep talking dirty to me
- Comment on UK waters hit with extreme heatwave as global sea temperatures reach record levels 1 month 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? 1 month 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 1 month ago:
That would be fucking incredible
- Comment on Political rivals vow to boycott byelection after Farage quits as MP 1 month 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.
