  If I steal your credit card, you’re my surrogate parent now. Thank you, daddy. 🫡

  Roblox is an actively predatory marketplace for parent’s credit details.

  I mean, it’s called enriched uranium for a reason. 😅

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Okay… but this person was elected, right…? Does the GPC feel that the people who did the electing were somehow misled?

  This just seems like a real self-mutilation in all respects. The GPC have pissed off everyone that there is to piss off.

  As people should be, a backdoor for one party is a backdoor for any party, even if you did trust the UK government not to negligently/maliciously use it…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨'Millionaires tell me every day that they want a wealth tax'⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Sure, it shouldn’t be their choice by any means, but if they’re going to actually step aside and let actual tax policy take effect rather than lobbying tooth and nail to stop it. Good.

  If they’re just paying lip service, as so often they do… well we’re back to the eventual defenestration.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨'Millionaires tell me every day that they want a wealth tax'⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  If rich people would like to preemptively pay more money in to society to stop societal collapse and their own eventual defenestration… I’ll take it. There will always be imbalances of power, which we need to effectively regulate and not leave the most powerful to regulate for themselves.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨ESA bafflingly declares private Minecraft servers 'illegal'⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The ESA is a mouthpiece for companies that want you to own nothing and do nothing that they don’t approve of and benefit from.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Cool.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I am just going to have to disagree with you, conflating the idea risk with the things you’re associating it is not appropriate in my eyes. But we can leave it there at this point.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That is still explicitly a risk that they at taking. That risk doesn’t conflate to bravery, innovation, or a good idea. It is still a risk they take because either their new service flops and they write it off, or their new service makes crazy amounts of money.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Tell that to every publisher constantly flipping a coin on Live Services that are expensive, risky, likely to fail/underperform… but could make them oodles of revenue.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  As ever, even if they make acceptable profit… they’ll never make obscene profit. So betting on a high risk, extremely high reward product will always been more attractive.

  My friend’s dog was traumatised because his wife opened a moisturiser tube too loudly. Watch any dog for any extended period of time and then armchair diagnose its trauma.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[Video] Hasan Piker wonders why he is banned from the UK but Elon Musk is not after inciting race-riots in Belfast⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Responsible dog owners remember to switch off their tesla coils.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[Video] Hasan Piker wonders why he is banned from the UK but Elon Musk is not after inciting race-riots in Belfast⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This is the dumbest imagined controversy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨“I genuinely feel GameNative could replace handheld PCs like the Steam Deck” — Inside Android’s Fastest-Moving Gaming Project, GameNative (my article!)⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t particular agree with their conflict of interest comment on the quote, no. I guess it could be said that interviewing individuals that you have a personal relationship with could be a conflict around expectations of unbiased article writing, but this isn’t exactly the New York Times.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨“I genuinely feel GameNative could replace handheld PCs like the Steam Deck” — Inside Android’s Fastest-Moving Gaming Project, GameNative (my article!)⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Not so much a conflict, but “my friend says his software is amazing” comes of as something of a fluff piece.

  I imagine he would, yep.

  They’ll release some photos, then admit that the photos were just photoshopped propaganda, then everyone will move on without comment.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨UK is ‘unwelcoming’ and ‘racist’ for overseas NHS health workers, warns top doctor⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  As per design, the UK is now undesirable for people to come to or stay in. We are putting enough dog shit on our own front lawn to stop people approaching the house. Got 'em.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨UK is ‘unwelcoming’ and ‘racist’ for overseas NHS health workers, warns top doctor⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  “I hear you’re a racist now, father.”

  As ever, having a monarchy is absurd.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Brits in disbelief as new refillable drinks ban implemented across UK⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t fundamentally have a problem with this personally, but it’s one more nail in the coffin full of nails that is the labour party. Their timing is impeccable, as ever.

  Obesity is destroying the NHS, and not for the sake of your freedom but for the sake of keeping people addicted to product.

  At the very least, spoil the data that they hold on file for you.
