- Comment on Stabbings, kidnap threats and arson attacks: how the Iranian regime targets UK journalists 2 days ago:
Does it? I feel like i would’ve already heard from journalists who had this happen to them. I also lnow that the iranian state’s arm doesn’t seem to reach this far - if it did, it would go for america or israel first.
- Comment on Game developer calls Bafta nomination 'massive honour' 2 days ago:
Would love to see a thriving British video game industry. Everyone knows that Indie games are better than AAA companies and we happen to be very short of big corporations likely to eat up smaller studios, so thzt won’t be a problem🤧👍
- Comment on People assume I can't speak Welsh because I'm not white 1 week ago:
Doesn’t seem like an unreasonable assumption, Wales is mostly white and almost all white outside of Cardiff, Swansea, and maybe Newport and Wrexham. And I have heard they only push it in schools to the west of Caerdiff

- Comment on Two ex-soldiers were entrusted to look after a 15-year-old in an illegal children’s home, Instead, they plied her with alcohol and abused her 2 weeks ago:
This is a completely different and bigger problem than the culprits being ex army. For starters, they’re also ex-convicts, which i think is a more accurate indicator of being a child abuser. But secondly, there’s a fucking child rape industry - a “shadpw care system,” as the article puts it - and the article just briefly mentions thst like “yeah that’s just something thst happens in a socoety like ours, can’t be helped”
Maybe the headline should be “Child rapists control the entire framework for looking after vulnerable children”

Good. How can i let them know i approve? Big blimpf flying past the hospital saying “fuck palantir, big up the NHS”?
- Comment on New report reveals widespread data sharing and retention of Prevent referrals, including children’s data 2 weeks ago:
Okay i’ve seen several articlws on prevent now, which makes me think the government is gearing up to do away with it. Given thst they claim to have got rid of non-crime hate incident policing.

- Comment on Palantir’s UK boss criticises ‘ideological’ groups as ministers move to scrap NHS contract 3 weeks ago:
Lmao, yeah the Ideologies at play here are 1. Believing in equal access to healthcare, which a genocidal AI company like Palantir will NEVER BE ABLE TO FULFILL properly, and 2. An opposition to AI because we believe in not letting robots steal human jobs

The British government in the year 3000 when a clerical error at 4Chan HQ leads to them panicking and actually paying this fine

As a kid and teenager all the people who said they wanted to be engineers were also patently aggressive priviliged snobs. PAPS.

I think this is completely true.

I’ve met so many civil engineers who are hateful little tossers, there might (might) be something wrong with the industry in that regard. Or maybe it just attracts macho dudes.
- Comment on Weight-loss drugs alone will not solve UK’s obesity crisis, says Chris Whitty 1 month ago:
This kind of moral judgement type of advice really doesn’t help.
Sorry if that was triggering, I’m not actually that kind of super critical person. I just thought it would be an appropriate time to slip in a joke-y phrase and I guess it didn’t come across as lighthearted. I myself am very sedentary, so I don’t actually hold contempt towards people for it.
That being said, the reason I threw that phrase in was because i feel the NHS (or at least, Wes Streeting) is making precisely these kinds of moral judgements when doing these decisions. And that the government is shying away from holistic improvement of our society.
On top of that, dieting triggers a hormonal process that seeks calorific foods and holds on to more of those calories. This has evolved to help us survive food shortages, but is backfiring on a population wide level now that food is no longer scarce. If dieting were the answer then Weight Watchers and Slimming World would have solved this problem decades ago. Instead they encouraged people to fall into the yo-yo diet trap that leads to ever more weight going on each time the cycle completes.
What GLP-1 inhibitors do is to shut down or quieten this hormonal response. This means that people can then do the obvious bit of eating less and moving more without their own bodies sabotaging them.
Very enlightening. This is pretty much what I wanted to know - if it’s actually regarded safe and useful - because when ozempic was rolled out in the USA there was some uproar about it and I personally don’t trust Trump’s regime with healthcare, so seeing that the NHS was promoting ozempic gave me pause.
After seeing your reply and mannycalavera’s i’m more optimistic about ozempic
