- Comment on How would you evaluate having more pay vs an easier job? 15 hours 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

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? 1 day 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).

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? 2 days 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 2 days ago:
That would be fucking incredible
- Comment on Political rivals vow to boycott byelection after Farage quits as MP 2 days 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? 4 days 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 1 week 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 1 week 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

Pizza - always 12-15 minutes at 180c.
- Comment on UK considers forcing social media firms to prioritise trusted news 2 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 2 weeks ago:
So why do you even care?
- Comment on UK considers forcing social media firms to prioritise trusted news 2 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.

Have you been on Facebook recently? The current state of what counts for “news” on there is a disgrace.

I’d have thought the answer was obvious.
Our 2-tier society is real, just not in the way the gammon think it is.

- Comment on Created by dorks to keep us down 2 weeks ago:
When i was doing my GCSE maths way back when, I asked my maths teacher as we were finishing a lesson on quadratic equations
“Miss, will I ever need any of this”?
“Are you intending to be an engineer working with projectiles or a maths teacher”?
“Erm…no”
“Then no, you won’t ever need it”.

- Comment on VPN ban on table in July as Labour confirm 'further statement' 3 weeks ago:
They’ll just make it impossible to download them.
They’ll instruct Google and apple to stop hosting the apps on mobile and They’ll threaten the big ones like Proton with legal action if they continue to offer them to British customers.
So it’ll push legit users to dodgy VPNS.
As for employers, like any government they won’t have thought of this

- Comment on Man allowed to drive off from nursery with wrong child 4 weeks ago:
Well put. Yet another person completely over reacting.
Yes, it could have been bad, but it wasn’t. Someone who keeps bleating after they’ve had an apology and the promises of a full investigstion to make sure it doesn’t happen again is usually someone who wants compo
- Comment on Do cops and soldiers go thru training to not freak out or get sick the first time they see an adult body? What about a kid or something? Or does it depend on the situation theie walking into? 4 weeks ago:
Haha no. Most people who died from natural causes were found by family members and we wouldn’t be involved. We were only called because it started as a concern for safety call and we were needed to force entry.
As a trainee I needed the experience with all different types of job so my tutor would cherry pick incidents and take us to stuff like this to broaden what I was exposed to.
- Comment on Do cops and soldiers go thru training to not freak out or get sick the first time they see an adult body? What about a kid or something? Or does it depend on the situation theie walking into? 4 weeks ago:
When i was in the police (UK) we did crime scene training, and a few hours of it involved talking about how we can try and cope when seeing a dead body for the first time.
The advice we were given is that basically they are no longer a person. They are a fleshy meat sack which we should consider as being evidence of a potential crime. We were told to ignore the body and concentrate on the scene.
What can we see/smell/hear. Document everything. Were lights on/off, were doors locked/unlocked. Windows open/closed. Smashed glass on the inside of the house or the outside.
It didn’t matter if it was suspicious or not. We were reminded we weren’t detectives, we weren’t there to solve a murder, just secure evidence.
And it worked. Found a dead person on my second day. She, like every other sinilar job I’d been to had died of natural causes. But I remembered my training and just did my job.
Other cops would rely on humour. Ignore the corpse, crack jokes.
And yes, we were shown pictures of incredibly gruesome scenes. My favourite was the embolism, looked like a scene from Saw.
- Comment on An economic draft? Drive to get young Neets in the military divides opinion 4 weeks ago:
Drones can be cheaper than live soldiers.
A british private - in year 1.
£26,500 salary.
£47,500 training/kit/accommodation/food
£fuck knows in national insurance and pension contributions.
That number increases each year as their salary does.
Unmanned drone costs -
£5000 for loitering munitions
£500 for consumer drones with grenades attached etc
- Comment on An economic draft? Drive to get young Neets in the military divides opinion 4 weeks ago:
You’re obviously not watching the news about the hundreds of automated drones in Ukraine…
Our military is unlikely to get larger in terms of manpower. I suspect for every soldier there will be 10 drones supporting them.
