• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Isn't having your own domain name for email very bad for privacy? And how do you pick a good domain name that doesn't sound goofy?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨hour⁩ ago⁩:

  Buy two domains at least. One for the actual email and one for redirection email addresses with something like addy.io .

  In the UK, open personal details can be resisted from whois listings under data protection, but you can use a mailbox or office address to make that a redirect.

  I use a control domain to control all my other customer domains and I separate DNS, domain hosting, email, and websites so no-one has too much control. That was a painful lesson to learn.

  Boys, no-one has yet stated that the front bench has paid the due tax on the freebies they’ve been getting so far. Not even thinking about the free cash the last twenty years worth of government have given to their mates.

  The seriously rich only pay tax voluntarily. Start with the medium wealthy and the grifter MPs.

  Gen Y/millennials and X discover Christian religion (at least?) is a safe place for paedophilia. Gen Z not listening to parents or grandparents.

  Be careful people. It’s not safe at many levels.

  The biggest thing that needs to happen is that there needs to statistics published.

  All governments have lied or pretended not to collect the numbers. That has to change.

  Everyone on the streets knows what’s going on, the statistics will prove it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Isn't EU's "VAT" a regressive tax? Why do they have that, instead of something like, taxing the rich?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  The rich don’t have to pay taxes. The taxes they pay are largely voluntary.

  That is the way of the world. It’s a truism. That’s what happens. You cannot change it.

  Bonus extra: the trickle-down theory almost entirely doesn’t exist either. BUT the second generation - the grandchildren - after the original rich person will usually piss almost all of the fortune away.

  Second bonus extra: the same thing happened with serious socialism; the leaders become dictators.

  Anarchy for the win. 😁

  Since very recently they can look through your bank accounts if you just receive any government payments, including stare pensions.

  Meanwhile freebies all the way for the front bench. And no-one is expecting anything for it, would you believe. 🤬

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Benefit cheats could lose driving licences in anti-fraud drive⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes. Make sure that they can go to work by removing their ability to drive, as well as the criminal sentence, and jail time.

  Another dumb idea by yet another corrupt government.

  Everyone knows how desperate this government is to throw the disabled under the bus. So I have little confidence that those labelled frauds are actually did anything wrong.

  I’m old and it wasn’t always like this. Or at least it wasn’t so open.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's the deal with male loneliness?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  My apologies. I was confused why you asked me about the word risk. My bad assumption.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's the deal with male loneliness?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  1. dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/risk I’m assuming you’re not familiar with the word and English is not your first language.

  2. 1. 80 - 90% of women win custody battles, despite prisons being almost entirely of fatherless homes.
     2. False accusations of violence are free or fully funded for women. In the England/Wales when legal aid introduced the requirement of domestic violence before legal aid was granted, on the quarter of this rule coming in (2011) applications under domestic abuse were multiplied by 10 times. Either men collectively decided to start beating their wives in that quarter or fully funded false accusations were exposed as an issue.
     3. About 20-30% of children are not related to their father as named on their birth certificate. Statistics from the child maintenance body in the UK shows that for the thousands of men placed on child maintenance applications over a third were shown to be false applications citing unrelated men. Google for other numbers. In France, it is illegal it seek the DNA child - father match for your own children.
     4. In the UK the 1971 law (MCA) says effectively that joint marital assets follow the children. The woman typically gets around 80%+ of net assets because they have custody of the children. that’s a personal observation because these are private law cases. The government refuses to publish the real numbers.

  3. (I’m tired of typing now) Domestic violence against men is ignored; or the victim is arrested. There are no shelters for men and children in the whole of the UK. Erin pissey, a lovely woman, who came up with the idea for shelters for DV survivors for both sexes was removed from the organisation she started by feminists and now campaigns for DV shelters for men. All of these government money for supporting male victims of DV is given to 'Women’s Aid" after their successful bid years ago. There is still no support for male victims; it doesn’t take a genius to imagine why.

  4. Someone else is going to have to finish these.

  When you have a significant change in the population dynamic, it takes a significant time for the population not (really) effecting this change to adjust.

  From my perspective as an old bloke, Women now treat relationships as transactional, men haven’t kept pace. There are obviously a number of reasons and I’m not making that statement to judge or analyse; mass change requires motivation. The motivation presented itself. Society is in the same incredible flux as when the pill became a real and common thing fifty years ago.

  The risks for a man of a relationship significantly outweigh the rewards. Being aware of the overwhelming risks and deciding not to engage doesn’t stop one being lonely.

  Kind of. My parents were appalling people. I was a good kid but it didn’t matter.

  You can leave them, but you can’t leave yourself. When you get away, learn to be kind to yourself. It’s much more difficult than it sounds.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If someone murdered me, how long would it take (if ever) until they catch the murderer?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This.

  Only about one in twenty of recorded ‘crime’ is ever solved. I don’t know whether that includes posting a tweet (aka non-crime hate incident). That’s recorded crime (if they’ll let you record a crime).

  Same view as you: got turned away with that same phrase “civil matter, sir”.

  I’m guessing that the real figure is maybe 1 in 100 at best. I’m sure I saw a pod cast of that undercover detective (Pete® B-something?) who was evicted from the Met who said the figure was in that ball park. Can’t find it or remember his name. Bah!

  Sounds like you’re having a tough time at the moment. There are some good communities here if you’re needing a virtual hug bigger than I can give.

  Hopefully your throwaway line is just that you’ve had a fixable row with them and are cooling off somewhere else.
