Hi there!
- Comment on "Nuisance begging" and rough sleeping as soon to be illegal 2 days ago:
That’s not what the quote you posted says, it says it tackles that two things, not that it makes them illegal.
It does mention some things that are to be made criminal offences right before this bit though, to trick people into posting such headlines, I suspect.
This whole thing sucks anyway, but I think we could use some clarity on exactly what will be made illegal?

donald tr*mp gets 10 warnings for intimidating witnesses and indefinite trial postponement for hoarding and most likely leaking classified documents. Sweet sweet justice.
Why are you censoring Donald Trump’s name? Is it a swear word now in your country?
We’re big girls here, we can take a little rude language, don’t worry :)

I already have a Steam account, I’m not giving yet another company my details and login data just to play a game on a platform I already have an account for. Nope.
- Comment on How come liberals dont hate conservatives the way conservatives hate liberals 1 week ago:
It’s worth noting that you’re looking at conservatives from a USA perspective, which is valid and very informative, it’s just that OP didn’t specify a country, so it might also be worth discussing conservative vs liberal culture in places like Europe too, or perhaps prefacing your wonderfully detailed response with something to clarify that when you’re talking about conservatives, you mean a very specific subset of them (as opposed to, say, the conservatives of the UK, where their political party is itself called the Conservative Party).
Rock on! :-D

SMS are completely free? I mean yeah, they cost money back in 2009, but that was a loooooong time ago.
Wherever you are, you’re being completely screwed, yeah.

- Comment on How does the day-to-day work of not wearing shoes in the house? 5 weeks ago:
I have slippers for when I want to cook in the kitchen or nip outside for a minute, etc. Other than that, I just wear my socks indoors.
Also of course, don’t wear dirty shoes past the entryway of the house. If they’re not dirty that’s another story, but if they are, off they come.
- Comment on C O L O N I Z E 5 weeks ago:
Fungus in general is incredibly alien. It’s not a plant, it’s not an animal, it’s… something outside of our traditional understanding.
Quite reasonable to be put off them, I love eating mushrooms but they’re… creepy…

If we could afford to go to the pub many of us would go out now and then, but jesus wept the price of it all… we can’t even afford to drink at home any more.

Literally everybody. Well okay, not literally. But figuratively literally everybody.
You’re a small child incapable of providing for yourself, what else are you going to do? You eat what you’re given or you starve to death.

So, I’m assuming then that people here think speed limits are bad, and drivers should be able to drive as fast as they like?
Otherwise, we wouldn’t be supporting vandalising equipment designed to reduce speeding, right?
Just so we’re on the same page is all. Safety bad, going fast good. Right?

- Comment on Awaab Ishak: Plan to force landlords to tackle mouldy homes 4 months ago:
Speaking as someone in Manchester near where that child died, also in a house constantly fighting mould…
The mould is caused by our inability to heat our homes due to the huge cost of running heating.
I hate landlords as much as the next Mancunian, but the root cause of the issue isn’t them (unless you’re going to force them to make their rents reasonable). It’s the cost of living crisis, which itself has many for causes… from government austerity plans to capitalists squeezing every penny out of us from both ends - what we earn and what we must spend.
Yes homes with mould need to be cleaned and repaired, but if you don’t solve the issue of WHY it was able to take hold in the first place? It’ll just come back again.
We’ve not been able to run the heating throughout our house for two years now, it’s just so wildly expensive. I wish everyone in our situation the best of luck 🫂

“Okay but hear me out, if people are dead we no longer have to throw away perfectly good tax money on them, which would be better spent on X” - Tories
(Just replace X with whatever you like, stopping small boats, propping up boomer pensions, funding private schools, improving the police force’s response times and manpower to improve suppression and arrest numbers at peaceful protests, ensuring that hundreds of thousands of people who need social care or benefits don’t receive them because what if one guy somewhere might be trying to game the system?!, etc etc)
- Comment on 'I told police who my burglar was - but they did nothing' 4 months ago:
Well yes, police don’t care about theft, unless the victim is a business. The police basically exist to protect capitalists and their interests, not us.
What very little they do for us, detering and solving murders and whatnot, is just a means to this end - business/capital in an area will suffer if there are murders.
Your house being burgled doesn’t affect anyone but you, so why should the coppers care?
:-(

I would say you’re just in the wrong communities, as that’s not the consensus where I browse.
But yes, every extremely large open community has people of all beliefs and all walks of life in significant numbers, and some are more obvious than others.

- Comment on Does anyone else feel like 90% of the population is stupid? 4 months ago:
Right, but when these important things are also very basic things everybody needs to know, like how to boil an egg, how to vote, how to dry wet clothes, how to treat people and items carefully and with respect, etc, I don’t have much sympathy for adults who come across as an idiot in these ways, you know?
There’s things that other people don’t know because they’re not as interested in them of course, but that’s not what bothers me, it’s all the stuff they should all know that they’re ignorant of… :-(
