  I’m siding with the government on this one.

  It’s sad that it’s so rare to see them on the correct side of a disagreement.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Increase in vapes found on Britain’s coastline by beach clean volunteers⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  In the common day-to-day shops, they seemed to phase out the earlier refillable/repairable/replaceable ones for “disposable” tops. Even the e-cig shops near us stopped selling the cotton wadding and pre-coiled wires for rebuildables.

  With a rebuildable one, I was using a 5x50mm strip of cotton wadding and an 8cm length of very thin wire every month or so. These pod things seem to use a coil, wadding, heating element, metal case, plastic case, spring, screw etc every few days.

  Yeah, I think they do still have some of them in most city centres, which kind of makes sense (if you were closing 95% of your branches, those are the ones you’d keep) - though it’s a long way from when there used to be a few different branches in every town centre, and amongst the small local rows of shops in housing areas i.e. the local high street.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨High street banks lose £100bn in deposits as UK savers shift to online rivals⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m not sure how well the term “High Street Bank” works these days. Does anyone’s town/city still have any accessible physical branches on an actual high street?

  Perhaps they could start opening “high street banks” in old, disused former Wetherspoonses.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Revealed: Yorkshire Water boss was paid extra £1.3m via offshore parent firm⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  That wouldn’t be “growing up”. That would be giving in and accepting it.

  People destroying other people’s lives and the world around them, for their own personal benefit and greed, should never be acceptable.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[Update: Valve Responds] Mastercard Denies Pressuring Steam To Censor 'NSFW' Games⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Nuggan Mastercard has decided the following things are abominations, and are therefore unacceptable to sell:

  Cats, the colour blue, oysters, mushrooms, chocolate, garlic, cheese, the smell of beets, jigsaw puzzles, and rocks

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Public urged to help catch gangs bringing drugs on ‘mother ships’ to UK coast⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Despite the illegality, these people manage to sneak into the country with tonnes of coke, then distribute it to tens of sub-distributers, who in turn distribute it to hundreds of large dealers, who in turn pass that on to thousands of local dealers, in time to supply tens of thousands of parties, to supply the coke requirements of every doctor, solicitor, TV executive and regular weekend coke fan in the country, every Friday evening.

  These people need hunting down and capturing.

  Then we need to make them run our railways.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Got emotional thinking about this⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  On Google Earth (rather than Google maps), you can view all the previous streetview photos from any location that has them - so the 2012 one won’t be the default one, but you can switch back to it with a few clicks.

  Nobody’s asking you to kiss guys. They’re asking you to kiss comrades.

  Because those cars are too big and don’t fit in the parking spaces any more.

  It’s good to know Brexit is only temporary.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Starmer and Macron to announce ‘one in, one out’ migration deal⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  What if we let one Reform supporter out for each immigrant we let in?

  “It’s a controversial way of doing it, but it looks like complaints about immigration are down”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Welcome to petty lane⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  All fair points for a motorway/highway/freeway/whatever. I’d mistakenly thought the previous post was referring to a smaller local road with a 55mph limit.

  I don’t really care so much about what speed people do on motorways, but I have a massive problem with people doing 40-60mph in a 20-30mph limit residential area. Bear in mind where I live in the UK, the cars are driving 2 metres from the front door of everyone’s houses.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Welcome to petty lane⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Not personally, no - but the police would only need to catch a handful each day to get things moving a little more safely in the area.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Welcome to petty lane⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Why don’t they confiscate driving licences and imprison all the criminals who are driving 20-25mph dangerously over the limit?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I understand what Trump cares about, says Starmer⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  “Of course, when we say ‘family’, we include the lesser-known definitions of the word, such as ‘supporting Israel’s far right government in their genocide’, ‘trying to make trans people illegal’ and ‘starving the poor’”

  It’s not really that tough, is it?

  Yes, he’s had pretty much a constant stream of chances for over a decade.

  For people who actually weren’t given a chance, we need to look at people like Ed Milliband, who once ate a sandwich wrong, or Jeremy Corbyn, who thought we should increase taxes on rich people (which was, according to the news at the time, apparently antisemetic).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Glastonbury 2025 live: Festival says it is 'appalled' by Bob Vylan comments after controversy⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m hoping it’s not one of those sudden lurches to the far right which seem to occur when someone suddenly needs access to the “special lawyers who make historical allegations disappear”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Glastonbury 2025 live: Festival says it is 'appalled' by Bob Vylan comments after controversy⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Sadly, it’s been reported in numerous newspapers, from an interview between him and The Times.

  Here’s one from The Independent, but it’s pretty much in all the papers.

  “Rod Stewart tells UK to ‘give Farage a chance’” - The Independent

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Glastonbury 2025 live: Festival says it is 'appalled' by Bob Vylan comments after controversy⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m more appalled by Rod Stewart saying:

  “We’ve got to give Nigel Farage a chance”.

  and

  “It’s hard for me because I’m extremely wealthy, and I deserve to be, so a lot of it doesn’t really touch me. But that doesn’t mean I’m out of touch.”

  And rightly so. We just call them “serial ports” these days.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨*fliiiinnnnnggg*.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It depends where it was in the country. Even now, after fast travel, radio, television etc, you can still get completely different vowels within 100 miles.

  If I took the word “road” and travelled 100 miles either North/South/East/West, I could find it pronounced (as it would sound to me) as reud, raad, rird or roud.

  Sorry, I’m not American, and I’ve likely only seen it on Lemmy, and likely in satirical forms.

  Anyway, I’ve read the other linked info and a bit more, so at least feel I do know now :)

  I’m also not a youth, but I’ll absolutely take that as a compliment, thank you very much :D
