I’m actually really looking forward to lab grown meat becoming an established industry. Not just for the benefits of the environment and animal welfare but because you could feasibly grow the finest lobster meat, fois gras, wagyu steaks etc etc on industrial scales which would lead to much lower prices.

Before we move over to heat pumps and electric heating, a lot of work needs to be done on insulating homes.
A heat pump is not more efficient if you have to run it 24/7 to try keeping up with heat loss from single glazed windows and drafts from knackered doors etc.

A quick Google shows that they charged over thirties double for a premium account.
Devils advocate says that is because older people are more like to have money (people are probably getting a bit more desperate at that age too).
It looks like the policy is revoked tho.

I think some people do fucked up shit regardless of what they’re taught and it’s a situation that’s slightly more complex than “just teach the kids right and wrong”.
- Comment on Anon walks home in the city at 2 AM 1 week ago:
imo the solution is just not to do anything sketchy, and teach younger people what’s right and wrong, so that the problem can get solved with a better society in the future
Ah yes, why didn’t my parents or their grandparents think to teach their kids that rape and murder is wrong!? It’s all so clear now!!!

I’m cool if I can only faintly smell it, but when someone puts on too much it’s eye watering and as you say, they’d be better without.

Sometimes prophecies are self fullfilling, treat a man like the worst example of the gender he represents and you might find he behaves less than appropriately.
I’m not saying that excuses the behaviour, but if women looked at me and immediately thought “potential rapist/murderer” I can’t say that wouldn’t upset me and cause me to act less than amicably.
I mean what the fuck am I supposed to do, somehow talk the worst male scum out of their depraved behaviour? That’s never going to happen no matter how hard I try.
We all need to be realistic and keep things in perspective. It’s not OK to treat people as the worst of the people they identify with, it’s no better than the “all Muslims are terrorists” mentality.

Maybe it’s different in your area. Where I live the local fishing spot is nearly all men.

Oh OK. I’ve never watched it so that’s why I didn’t understand.
- Comment on A divorce lawyer gives a few dating tips to young men 2 weeks ago:
What’s the implication? Am I naïve? I just thought it was traditionally a man’s hobby with little interest from women, just as most men wouldn’t be very interested in crochet.
- Comment on A divorce lawyer gives a few dating tips to young men 2 weeks ago:
I like fishing, I just think it’s quite unpopular with women.
- Comment on A divorce lawyer gives a few dating tips to young men 2 weeks ago:
As long as it’s not fishing haha
- Comment on Two more cases of more transmissible mpox detected in UK 2 weeks ago:
Quick! Let’s shut the country down for a year, spend £250 billion on things that have no intrinsic value and then act surprised when we get a shit load of inflation and a cost of living crisis.

Something?
- Comment on Anon checks out mobile gaming 4 weeks ago:
There were brilliant games from the 80’s and 90’s that ran on comparatively primitive machines.
I understand that many people think good graphics = good game and vice versa but I think a interesting story, novel puzzles or original concepts are so much more important than how real a game looks.

- Comment on Posting the shopping cart theory because people had questions in a separate thread 2 months ago:
No, I want to argue the point that you think it’s a job worth creating, but that I also get the impression that it’s a job you wouldn’t want to be doing yourself.
But I also get the impression that engaging you in debate is going to be a waste of my time.

If we did, we would do something about it."
Like building conveniently place cart returns with “please return your cart” written on them?
- Comment on Posting the shopping cart theory because people had questions in a separate thread 2 months ago:
I’m not asking if you return your cart, I’m asking if you’re employed to return the carts of other people.

If they’re so tired after walking around the shop and walking back to their car that they can’t do that tiny bit more and return the cart to the corral, maybe they should be seeing a doctor and if they are eligible for disability (sounds like a severe case of lazybonesitis) and use a handicapped spot. Or you know, stop being so fucking lazy and making excuses.

If you piss on the toilet seat, do you clean it up (free labour as you call it) or hire a cleaner?

Are you a trolley returning person on minimum wage, or are you just saying it’s a good job for someone else?

Imagine living in a country where someone might threaten to kill you because you told them they are lazy.
