- Comment on Pornhub to restrict access for UK users from February 2 days ago:
The windows/xbox parental controls never worked for me, luckily it would have only been for screen time, so we managed that the old fashioned way. (After countless MS support calls on an OEM prebuilt machine too!) The apple mac parental controls were faultless both MacOS and iOS.
- Comment on Pornhub to restrict access for UK users from February 3 days ago:
I was aware of this and used it exactly as intended, set an age appropriate filter setting, with a watershed to switch to “18” in the evening. When the kids got old enough to stay up past this watershed, I decided to run the age limiters settings 24hrs and instead allow vpn as the only route for me as an adult to access the ‘adult internet’ Paired with parental controls on their devices, worked fine. Included in this was conversations with the children about their devices, what usage time looked like, internet safety and as an aside we had no TVs in bedrooms.
Guess what? It took a little effort and had to be consistent. I guess most parents are lazy. - Comment on Childhood trauma 😩 1 week ago:

They created a toxic work environment, and I’d just legislate them out of existence.
- Comment on Life as a food delivery worker: ‘Sometimes men open the door naked’ 2 months ago:
The short version is; These delivery companies created a modern slavery situation which simultaneously creates road safety and personnel safety issues. Simple solution, ban deliveroo, just eat and ubereats outright. Delivery drivers should be employees of takeway companies. Then minimum wages can be enforced and traceability and transparency for all rights and safeguards can be seen. Bonus is, you’re not going to get hit by an unlicensed e-moto in a city centre by some shattered forgotten body who may or may not be entitled to work.

- Comment on Disabled people ‘effectively working for free for rest of year due to pay gap’ 2 months ago:
But the issue then is equal pay for the roles, which is already protected. The pay gap phrasing is not helpful is my point, and should be made more clear that the issue is opportunity. And this is very easy to understand that organisations have to put effort into making it possible for persons with disabilities to be able to work in their organisation in roles the more able persons would be automatically able to do so.
- Comment on Disabled people ‘effectively working for free for rest of year due to pay gap’ 2 months ago:
This is irritating, not because disabled people don’t deserve fair chances, but because of the measure of the ‘pay-gap’. This is the same issue with ‘gender pay gap’. It does not mean that people are getting paid differently because of being disabled, or because of gender. It is a measure of how often people have the salary they have based on having jobs that get certain salaries. Again; if they did the same job, they get paid the same. But they do different jobs and therefore get paid differently. So the issue is, how to make more types of jobs available to disabled people, not how to pay them fairly, equal pay is already a legal right.

Not in the slightest. News occurs to me naturally via diverse sources, I don’t go looking for news about republic campaigning groups, and clearly succeeded in never finding any. Except this reference today. Which I’m emotionless about to be fair. Andrew is a disgrace though, I don’t disagree that he should be dragged through the same shit a commoner would if found noncing

Also, people treat polls as a kick up the arse for the incumbent, then vote on their personal politics come election day. So it’s really unlikely even the lead in the polls will see that in reality.

More sloppy reporting from the guardian, at least proof read the work. Tax £66,610 on an 85,000 vehicle? 3 times as much as the cost in the uk of £3200? I think someone put another 0 on that, ABs they still managed to publish it.
