- Comment on Switch 2 Sales Reportedly Struggled Over The Christmas Period 1 week ago:
I’m going to get one at some point, because my OG Switch’s battery swelled up so I got rid of it. It’s more about being able to play my existing games, than being in any way excited about spending £70 on new ones. 😔

This may or may not be a joke, but yes, this is very often talked about among ADHDers!
I’m AuDHD and thankfully this is one area where my ordered, autistic side wins out – i.e. I have meticulously organised bookmarks and “Raindrop” tags for everything instead. 😄 I couldn’t stand having tons of tabs open.
- Comment on The VPN panic is only getting started 1 month ago:
I don’t have kids, but if age restriction did come for VPNs, I honestly think I’d subscribe to one for them. Or at least bring back the idea of having a “family computer” in the main living area, where they can use a VPN with supervision.
I know everyone’s kids are different, but surely it’s better to at least attempt to teach them how to use the internet safely and in a healthy way (adblock, security, privacy, bots, scams, the perils of social media, discussions about porn and when it is and isn’t healthy/exploitative etc.) rather than keeping them on The Pretend Internet till they’re 18 and then unleashing them on the world. 😬 So they can fall for every scam and get “hacked” every few days and argue with AI bots like old ladies.

- Comment on What went wrong with Pizza Hut? 2 months ago:
Chris, 36, and Joanne, 29 say they used to go to Pizza Hut for a date “every now and then”, but now they order in a Domino’s and think Pizza Hut is “very overpriced”.
Unless things have very seriously changed in the last year or two, that sounds like bullshit. Domino’s is crazy expensive. Pizza Hut is just “kinda expensive”.

Will they be abandoned, though, or will they just become slums where the people who are too poor to move to the non-floody areas have to live? 😬

- Comment on Why do people call it “woke”? 3 months ago:
It’s from African-American English, from the 1930s! And it’s always had more or less the same meaning – originally “being awake to (aware of) racial discrimination”, but now it’s obviously grown to cover discrimination and inequalities in general.
Would that imply that things that are not “woke” or are “anti-woke” are “asleep”?
Yep! 👍 But don’t forget, these people are also against Antifa, i.e. “anti anti-fascist”. They don’t care how bad the labels sound, as long as they’re making people’s lives miserable.
- Comment on Britain’s Biggest Far-Right Protest: More than 100,000 attend Tommy Robinson’s Unite The Kingdom Rally 3 months ago:
I don’t think it should be called a “protest” when it’s, like, “protesting against certain subsets of humanity existing”.
Kinda feels like a totally different thing.

- Comment on BBC under fresh pressure over extent of Reform UK coverage 4 months ago:
In January 2006, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) changed the classification of the licence fee from a service charge to a tax. Explaining the change, the ONS said: “in line with the definition of a tax, the licence fee is a compulsory payment which is not paid solely for access to BBC services. A licence is required to receive ITV, Channel 4, Channel 5, satellite, or cable”. A briefing paper from the House of Commons Library described the licence fee as a hypothecated tax (i.e. one raised for a particular defined purpose).

- Comment on Nintendo’s Switch Mario Galaxy collection will retail for $70 4 months ago:
Any why wouldn’t you? Resolution and framerate are the same either way… and I think you can even play with a real Wiimote on Dolphin, instead of the shitty Joy-Con motion controls?
So it’s basically $70 for… what? New pages in Rosalina’s storybook? Lmao no thanks.
Nintendo’s greed is staggering, this generation. I couldn’t believe they announced the Pokémon Legends DLC before the game is even out. “I know you haven’t given us your money yet, but… please can we have some more? 🥺”
