You’re still too kind to them. Even if they did this they’d be giving equal attention to different parties and apply critical thinking equally to them. In reality studies have shown they spend disproportionate time on Reform at the expense of the Lib Dems and Greens, and tend to be less critical towards Reform’s messaging than other parties, often simply reading out Reform’s statements while being critical of the other parties.

Yes, stopping gun crime is how they sell it; protecting corporate profits by forbidding home-made repairs is how they will use it.

It won’t just affect Californians. Printer manufacturers will make one model for everyone, and it will comply with this law.

- Comment on 92% of American adults aren’t going to a doctor because they cannot afford it. The health insurance industry must be dissolved & all of its executives criminally prosecuted for murder, conspiracy, an… 1 week ago:
Where I am in Canada we do have problems with wait times, and many people can’t find a family doctor. But it wasn’t always like this. Successive Conservative provincial governments have cut healthcare funding again and again, trying to force people into private for-profit healthcare. It’s the same story in the UK: public healthcare has been undermined by every government since Thatcher’s in the 1980s, and the NHS is not what it was.
Both are still better than the US system though, even after all the cuts. I have to wait about 2 weeks to see my doctor unless it’s an emergency. Emergencies can mean an hours-long wait at the hospital. I was recently admitted after an emergency and needed surgery and follow-up examinations. I’ve had an MRI, EKG, ECG, and a whole bunch of other tests with specialists, and more surgery. The care has been very thorough and the doctors excellent, and I have not had to worry once about costs.

- Comment on All part of their scam plan 1 week ago:
Companies always day they are forced to pass their increased costs on to consumers. Oddly, they don’t feel any such obligation when it comes to their reduced costs.

Chatbots speak in coherent sentences and don’t mess up the number formatting. I think they are using their own words.
- Comment on Man, 28, charged with murder of former UK MP Ann Widdecombe 4 weeks ago:
They’ve since clarified that he appears to have supported Jeremy Corbyn and identified as a communist. It’s quite terrifying.
- Comment on Man, 28, charged with murder of former UK MP Ann Widdecombe 4 weeks ago:
Yes, if they really thought he were a terrorist they would be looking for his accomplices in order to prevent the next attack. But the word “terrorist” is thrown around by UK authorities as a matter of convenience these days.
