- Comment on People are realizing celebrities are unnecessary 6 days ago:
Taylor Swift’s Eras tour causes a bump in GDP of the areas it goes to. OP’s statement is crap.
- Comment on How rental ‘libraries of things’ have become the new way to save money 1 week ago:
“Rental” and “Library” are contradicting concepts and should not be used next to each other like this.
- Comment on Oh, oh no no no 1 week ago:
“If you knocked this wall down, the crack would stay put, because the crack isn’t in the wall.”
- Comment on pick your side 1 week ago:
Red for English, brown for history, yellow for geography because green was taken.
- Comment on Smart meter data: the Government’s at it again 1 week ago:
“the government’s at it again” is a good slogan to sum up the last 14 years.
- Comment on Freely's Live UK Broadband TV Stream Service Goes Live 2 weeks ago:
I dislike this push to move all of media to the internet. Just look at what’s happened to print journalism once the managers decided to cut costs and move online. Now most of it is clickbait for ad revenue. Indeed, print subscriptions have been making a comeback recently because at least in print there are standards.
Plus there’s the security concern of putting every craptacular TV on the internet and we’re one shitty company giving all their displays the same default password away from a massive bitnet sending a million Viagra emails a second, or worse, hosting ransomware.
In the future I hope for a separate system from internet protocol that can handle free to view TV. Something that is receive-only like current TV ariels and GPS. Virgin already does this with their one fibre line to the home carrying both their TV service and a separate internet connection. You can get one, the other, or both over that same line. With the rollout of fibre across the country I hope this becomes the chosen solution for people to be able to plug their TV into the line to pick up the free channels without having to pay for internet service if they don’t want that (remember that a lot of people’s internet connection is their phone).

- Comment on MoD giving Ukrainian soldiers in the UK free cigarettes to 'boost morale' 3 weeks ago:
The British army tells you not to quit smoking when you join as the training is tough enough without the withdrawal added on top so this stands to reason.

- Comment on [deleted] 5 weeks ago:
I’d say those strides have already achieved their goal now that all other car makers are offering electric versions of their models. There are even e-vans and e-trucks now and they’ll only get better with each passing year.
- Comment on [BBC Sounds] Helen Lewis has left the chat 5 weeks ago:
You really can’t it’s been a settled issue for a long time.
Trans women get shit for the possibility of testosterone improving their performance but the science shows they actually have less testosterone than some of the cis women they’re competing against. This is thanks to the puberty blockers the government just decided that kids can’t have access to. Transphobia begets transphobia.
- Comment on People think onlyfans is weird 5 weeks ago:
Nah, everyone has the right number of fingers.
- Comment on [deleted] 5 weeks ago:
A lot of them have a similar mindset. Their next cars won’t be Teslas. That’s going to be a problem for the company moving forward.
- Comment on Forget boomers vs millennials, the next conflict is millennials vs each other 5 weeks ago:
It’s never really been boomers vs. millennials. It’s always been rich vs. poor.

- Comment on You may want to sit down 5 months ago:
That’s it. That’s really all there is. And yet whenever you see posts about women in love there’s always a reference to this one 5 second video. It’s also never in the stories about people’s uncles having a “friend” who lives with them in a one bed flat in the Castro, it’s only ever a wlw thing.
