Eh, we can start tomorrow.
- Comment on Starmer has rigged the deputy leadership contest so no one to the left of Thatcher can win 1 day ago:
Welcome to democracy. The year is 2025. You may choose which colour tie your right-wing authoritarian leaders wear.
- Comment on Vape ban isn't working, says waste firm boss 1 day ago:
I suspect the device will last about as long as one or two refills anyway. This would be why they’re so cheap compared to the older ones.
- Comment on The correct way 2 days ago:
This is why I scruffily daub England flags onto mini roundabouts.
I’m not sure who told the far right that flying a flag is anti-establishment. The fucking king flies them for fucks sake.
- Comment on Hollow Knight: Silksong Sparks Debate About Difficulty and Boss Runbacks 2 days ago:
Yeah, I wasn’t fond of 2. Although you could just kill them 12 times and never have them respawn. Quite tedious, especially in the DLC.
- Comment on Hollow Knight: Silksong Sparks Debate About Difficulty and Boss Runbacks 2 days ago:
For me though, a lot of Souls games are about opening shortcuts and then running past anything left to get another go at the bosses.
- Comment on Time to bash Americans again 2 days ago:
There was an incident in Dundee recently that far-right knuckle-draggers (like emerald mine nepo-baby Elon Musk) tried to pass off as a 12 year old schoolgirl pulling a knife and fighting off an immigrant rapist, and it turns out she was just tooled up and threatening random strangers.
- Comment on Time to bash Americans again 2 days ago:
In fairness nobody ever died from a stray banana.
- Comment on Time to bash Americans again 2 days ago:
Most British schools have bars to keep the kids in.

Or any country with responsible lending rules.
Lenders are not your friends. They’d take your organs as payment if they were allowed. The rules are there to stop them doing bad lending and then hounding you to your death.
- Comment on Polls be damned, Labour have tripled down on Starmerism 3 days ago:
They mean neo-liberals.
This is Lemmy, where auth-left propaganda has twisted the word liberal into something else because they want to normalise authoritarianism. Just ignore them.
- Comment on Polls be damned, Labour have tripled down on Starmerism 3 days ago:
Campaign for Reform, from the looks of my area.
- Comment on "Undercover Informant" 3 days ago:
So deep undercover that nobody knew.
- Comment on A conundrum 3 days ago:
My house was cheap in a shit area (like knuckle draggers shouting at hotels shit) and that cost me £800 a month 20 years ago.
And that was with a massive deposit. Still, paid that shit off now.
- Comment on Well, shit. 4 days ago:
Why is the default for some database tools to auto commit after that? Pants on head design decision.
- Comment on It's been downhill since 2020 4 days ago:
“With this character’s death, the thread of prophecy is severed. Restore a saved game to restore the weave of fate, or persist in the doomed world you have created.”
It was Harambe. We didn’t reload.
- Comment on The USA prided itself on a nation of immigrant, heck even the Statue of Liberty says it. When did immigrants (US citizens from the old world) become anti immigrant and why? 5 days ago:
Because they’re lives are shit and they need somebody to blame.
The right will accept a boot on their face as long as they’ve got a face on which to rest their own boot.
- Comment on Britain’s illegal e-bike boom: desperation, delivery drivers – and unthinkable danger 5 days ago:
Ridden on the road, fine.
Ridden down canal tow paths, cycle lanes, pavements, twitchels, places with much slower moving cyclists/pedestrians, they can fuck off.
I’ve no problem with them being classified as a cheap motorcycle. For their size, they shouldn’t have to pay road tax either. But you should only be going faster than regular pedalling speeds on a road.
- Comment on Hollow Knight: Silksong is out now on Steam - and it broke Steam servers for 15 minutes and counting now 6 days ago:
Maybe they allocate a bit more resources before the obvious big games, and the surprise popularity of this one just caught them all off guard.
- Comment on Ding ding ditch is punishable by death apparently 6 days ago:
Only if you’re black or brown.
- Comment on asked and answered 6 days ago:
Most horrific weapons dropped on a civilian population so far.
Although given the state of Palestine, I can’t say dropping lots of small bombs is any better.
- Comment on Good news. :) 6 days ago:
The next three Canadian provinces.
- Comment on Children as young as 11 tempted to try betting after being ‘flooded’ by celebrity endorsement 1 week ago:
That’s the hook isn’t it. They’ve been doing it for years, no harm done.
That’s how most addictions seem to start anyway.
- Comment on Children as young as 11 tempted to try betting after being ‘flooded’ by celebrity endorsement 1 week ago:
The problem with every gambler I know is they keep track of how much they’ve won but not how much they’ve spent.
- Comment on Children as young as 11 tempted to try betting after being ‘flooded’ by celebrity endorsement 1 week ago:
The “exposure” has been every mobile and multiplayer game for the last 15 years being loaded with it.
It’s no surprise that they eventually start gambling with real money. It’s like having adverts for BetFred in between episodes of Bluey.
- Comment on How long do we have before PCs get locked bootloaders and corporations ban installation of "non-approved" software? (for context: Google is restricting sideloading worldwide on Android ETA 2027) 1 week ago:
Didn’t MS already try this with Windows S editions?
- Comment on How did it come to be that only two companies supply all of the world's PC graphics chips? 1 week ago:
Runs it better than any PC costing a similar amount.
You can barely get an entry level GPU for that.
- Comment on How did it come to be that only two companies supply all of the world's PC graphics chips? 1 week ago:
Or indeed the PS5 which runs AMD chips.
