Nah, I need the gold. I need to build myself a mid-range gaming PC.

The US has one of the most easily forged currencies in the world you would have thought they’d done something about it by now. You just bleach low denomination bills and then print hire denomination bills on the resulting blank paper. It’s such an utterly stupid hack that absolutely should not work.
That’s how Trump is planning to make his $250 bill. He’s just going to print them on bleached $1 bills. It’s the sort of thing he would do.

It wouldn’t be funny though would it because it would mean we would be on the road to a fascist regime. You have to have the short-sightedness of the heavily concussed beetle to think like that.
- Comment on The Neo-Nazi and Far-Right Coalition that Converged on Southampton Over Henry Nowak’s Murder 1 day ago:
Because the far right don’t care about the cause they just care about using the cause to achieve power.

I think there’s a list where they all try to organise schedules so that they don’t interfere with each other’s plans.

Yeah he didn’t start any wars. What sort of US president doesn’t lots of wars.

Yeah because why do the fishermen deserve to know what the weather is going to be like. How could that possibly be useful.

In my country my side is in power and they’re all useless. But it’s still better than the alternative, at least we’re not at war with Iran alongside the US and Israel. Which is what would have happened otherwise.
Everyone knows it’s the rich and powerful who are in control it’s why socialism is such an appealing idea, and why of course it will never happen.

The Nazis were of course famously English speakers, so it all tracks.

I do love how everyone is basically ignoring him.
There is definitely some irony in an overweight guy telling everyone else he doesn’t approve of their life choices.

I think that must be the most cold take anyone has ever had in the entire history of thinking. There were mollusks who already understood this. This isn’t news to anyone.

Yep that sure is Japan all right.
- Comment on What’s your favorite video game that most people didn’t like ?? 2 days ago:
I think most of the complaints about no man’s sky came from the fact that it was a system exclusive for the PlayStation. It’s a pretty bad exclusive game you have to admit.

I still don’t understand though why Europe so many languages, a good chunk of it was in the Roman empire so you would have thought that they would all have a single unified language as a result of that but even in the Mediterranean there’s different languages.

My favourite word is pterodactyl
It’s got a silent letter at the beginning, and then a silent o in the middle, and an invisible a, which you pronounce but don’t type, and then a silent c, before going back to some sort of sanity for the last three letters. Who decided that’s how it should be spelt?
We already had the word Terra so why did they have to go spell this version Ptero

English has no rules, we should all revel in the chaos rather than having our language be stringently defined.

The RM is already funded by taxes. So the least they could do would be to actually supply the service that they’re being paid for.

Oh I know. I get constant leaflets for random takeaways I’ve never heard of many of which aren’t even that local.
- Comment on 'Disgraceful' parking leaves village gridlocked 4 days ago:
The fine covers the towing cost, obviously.
Part of the reason that car parks are so expensive is because they’re not actually controlled by the council but by for profit companies who are trying to make lots of money out of a slab of concrete. That’s clearly an insane concept and car parks should just be nationalised.
- Comment on 'Disgraceful' parking leaves village gridlocked 4 days ago:
I’ve actually wondered what happens when a car gets towed. How does these people find out where to go to get their car back, do they leave a note on the ground or what?
- Comment on 'Disgraceful' parking leaves village gridlocked 4 days ago:
I wish they’d come down my street with a battering ram. There’s always some tit in s BMW who’s just abandoned the car, but it’s okay because it’s got the hazards on, on the double yellows because he wants to use the ATM.
- Comment on Nearly 500 seriously injured in e-scooter collisions in Great Britain last year 1 week ago:
If the police want to get up to pre-budget cut numbers they can just sit out at the bottom of my street and rest every idiot that comes down because they’ve all got e-scooters, they’re all going way too fast, and they’ll ride in the middle of the road. There’s a bus station right at the bottom of the street but I’ve never seen a single one of them get run over, very disappointing.
- Comment on Nearly 500 seriously injured in e-scooter collisions in Great Britain last year 1 week ago:
I like to imagine they all happened in one big mega crash in Milton Keynes.
- Comment on Valve hikes Steam Deck prices by more than 40%, blaming rising costs 1 week ago:
Well yes of course they could but why should they? I also think it’s hilarious that people acknowledge that we live in a capitalist society, and then get upset when the realities of that society hit them.
If you want to go seize the means of production I won’t stop you, but otherwise stop whining about increasing production costs been passed on to the user.
- Comment on Valve hikes Steam Deck prices by more than 40%, blaming rising costs 1 week ago:
Classic BBC headline trying to claim there’s more to the story than they’re actually is. They’re not blaming it on anything, they’re citing the reason.
Component prices have gone up because the AI industry is gobbling everything up, we already all know that. Sony have also increased the price of the PS5 so I don’t think there’s any conspiracy here

I can’t tell if you’re trying to make a joke.
- Comment on Polanski calls for workplace temperature cap as Labour dithers 1 week ago:
A big glass office building was a furnace on Tuesday and of course none of the windows open. It has air conditioning but it’s not really designed for these kind of temperatures so it wasn’t really doing anything. I actually did go home in the end and just worked remotely, but there were people that just stayed in the office all day. Presumably they are the cold blooded lizard people we hear about.
