  The mainstream media is so fucking scared of the Green Party, look at how much effort they’re putting into making this into a big controversy. Remember, this is a measure voted on by less that 2,000 people, less than 1% of the membership and not endorsed by the party leaders, a party that we’re continually told have no hope of winning.

  This is because the Greens do actually represent change, they do challenge the establishment in a way that Farage and his balaclava’d alpha bros don’t. Yes, those chuds have caused immeasurable damage to the world, but the Greens are who, according to the media, we should condemn.

  Other countries take non voters into account for referendums, counting them as a vote for the status quo. If we did that, then only one third of the country wanted to leave.

  I’ve been hooked on this guy since the radio series of Fist of Fun, with Stuart Lee’s True Fables. This man has been a comedy genius for his entire career.

  Now we just need this reflected in the response to grannies being handcuffed for clapping at Palestine Action protests. The Labour government needs to be raked over the coals for this.

  They know why it’s so bad. The last time they go so much shit, they completely rebranded the company to get away from the name Hermes. This is about stopping the message and sending a warning. Unfortunately for them, the Streisand Effect is real.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve been using graphene for over a year now, had used stock android since the HTC g1. Honest answer, graphene is stock without the annoyances, and finer grained security configuration. Major frustration is banking apps/no google pay, but since I switched banks (which I did because my old bank funds Israel) the new app works perfectly fine, so your milage may vary. Lack of google pay is inconvenient only if I leave my wallet at home, which is rare. Otherwise, it’s rare that something is broken just because it’s graphene, and if it is, the forums usually have the answer.

  The ban was announced in response to concerns that social media is unsafe, making children miserable, and could cause lasting damage to their mental health.

  Sanction the companies doing the bad thing, not the people that have been brainwashed and made addicted to these harmful services, and by extension legitimate users of these technologies that are not harmed by these services.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨UK’s most iconic trade marks revealed, as voted by the British public⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
  1. Rolls-Royce - German owned
  2. Radio Caroline - British owned
  3. Twinings - British owned
  4. Cadbury - American owned
  5. Bass - Canadian/American owned
  6. Burberry - British owned
  7. Transport for London (TfL) Roundel - British designed
  8. Calpol - not a single product, just the British name for paracetamol
  9. Mini - German owned
  10. BBC - well, who knows at this point

  So that’s not a great track record for our most iconic brands.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 Director Says It Did Gay Romance "Right" By Not Going "Woke"⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  but it’s nice that the game recognises that gay people would have existed regardless of the cultural attitudes at the time.

  The late mediaeval period was actually fairly accepting of gay relationships, with a legal doctrine of Brotherment being practiced in several countries, where two men would legally join their lives and assets, and which often included declarations of affection.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Some things were better in the good old days⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  There is also a survivorship bias at play here. Old appliances that are still in use are exactly the appliances where all the constituent parts were top quality, that have had the right maintenance, that have, against all odds, survived. Plenty of those old appliances didn’t survive.

  Yes capitalism has done what it does to increase profitability and desirability, but there are still got quality appliances that last. They just usually don’t have the most features, or a luxury look. When I got a new fridge-freezer last year, the guy who installed it told me that he rarely saw that model returned or repaired, and when it was repaired, it was pretty cheap. He also said he’d never buy a smart fridge, so I felt vindicated in buying the simplest device on the market.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨EA invents new microtransaction nightmare as it breaks paywall promise on Skate: rent a playable area for 24 hours or buy a premium pass, bucko⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, that’s just to normalise rentable levels. Once it has been begrudgingly accepted, there’ll be one that requires premium currency. Never buy EA.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Those differences that are rooted deep in our DNA⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again: straight men are allowed to buy and wear sexy undies to both look and feel good. If you’re looking to upgrade your nethers, go to a gay underwear specialist, we have the best underwear.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Government drops plans for mandatory digital ID to work in UK⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’d also recommend watching Yes Minister so you can laugh at the irony when they’re discussing implementing a national ID card and you forget that it was filmed in the 80s.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Trying to activate a new BT account⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Unfortunately BT’s systems are a hodge podge of different systems written and built over the last 40+ years, in various states of development from brand new, bleeding edge, to abandoned, running on an excel spreadsheet. To say the overall system was “designed” is to misunderstand the size and complexity of BT and its legacy systems. The fact that it works at all is a miracle borne out of the sweat and talent of great engineers hampered by busybody managers.
