- Comment on British Adults Overwhelmingly Support UK Ban on Illegal Israeli Settler Imports 6 hours ago:
Apparently the international British Union of Jews or something along those lines, has got all bent out of shape about this. Personally though I’ve got very little sympathy for them, if you are deliberately misconstruing anti-zionism as anti-semitism just because you want to be the victim, then you’re a terrible terrible person.

You know just in case you had any doubt about if he was a serious politician.

Perhaps they should temporarily replace it with the BBC’s hot air balloon.
- Comment on Anon remembers the $49 GameCube 18 hours ago:
I can’t really remember because it was ages ago but I think we actually got a load of empty boxes from the warehouse specifically for display, they weren’t just boxes that had the consoles removed they were display boxes. They didn’t have a barcode on them.
This would have been for the Xbox 360 and PS3.
- Comment on Palworld lead worries Steam early access has "lost its meaning": players treat it like "a normal game" and the program has been "abused for a lot of reasons" 20 hours ago:
It depends how you use it.
If you put out a game that works but hasn’t got all its art assets yet then it looks like you’re basically just releasing the game early.
If you put out a game which only has its first two levels and upon completion of level 2 it has some text that says “more to come” people understand that’s an early access.
But there’s way too many of the first example and not enough of the second example. None of this is helped by games like No Man’s Sky, Cyberpunk 2077 and Starfield that released in buggy states, making people think that early access just means broken.

I know right wingers in general a thick, but Americans really do seem to take it to a new level the dull witted.
I’m sure that IC% of them wouldn’t even recognise the joke.

It’s still sort of ridiculous that they’ve suspended her and haven’t put her to statement as to why. The really should be no scenario under which you can suspend someone without an explanation.

That’s why I recommend becoming an an aunt or uncle; you have kids but on a schedule and when they start to get irritating you can go back to being childless.

Hitler’s generals were so afraid of him that they didn’t even tell him about the D-Day landings for several hours because they didn’t want to wake him up.
- Comment on Police launch criminal investigation into Reform UK donations 1 day ago:
Easiest police investigation in history. They got the confession right at the start, usually have to wait till the end for that.
Not that I have any hope this will actually lead to a conviction, perhaps it’ll scare Farage out of politics, if it turns out he too has to follow the rules

You obviously haven’t been fucking the right blueberries.

It’s weird isn’t it, how a and an basically mean the same thing, and yet we’ve got two different words for it yet you kind of just know which one to use.

So exactly the cities would think, i.e everything that’s not in Scotland.

Well it’s not a PC release so there won’t be mods for a while.

I haven’t heard anything about them using Generative AI, or not as the case may be, so I think you’re just going out of your way to find content to be annoyed by it.

- Comment on Trump opposes UK plan to boost newspapers on social platforms 3 days ago:
No one is bowing down to him, the administration is just grumbling but it’s not going to change anything. As per usual with the US it’s all projection, they are constantly accusing others of the things they themselves are doing.
But since Iran doesn’t listen to the US, Israel doesn’t listen to the US, Russia doesn’t listen to the US, and China doesn’t listen to the US, I don’t see why we would either.
- Comment on Trump opposes UK plan to boost newspapers on social platforms 3 days ago:
Well as per usual the rambling of president tiny hands are irrelevant. If social media companies want to do business in the UK, and presumably they do, then they have to obey by UK laws.
What the leader of another country thinks about it is utterly immaterial.
- Comment on Cat vs Dog 4 days ago:
I doubt my cat would eat me, he barely tolerates it if I change the flavor of kibble beside I don’t taste like his favorite foods which appears to be grass, fluff, and spiders.
- Comment on Bunnies are metal 5 days ago:
You could say the same for the past, we don’t know when dinosaur World War 2 was, perhaps you’ll meet dinosaur Elon Musk and have to talk to him, it’s a hell of a risk.
- Comment on Bunnies are metal 5 days ago:
I’m glad it was so happy when it died. Doing itsy little walk, my cat does that when he is successfully captured the elusive ball of foil.
- Comment on 5 days ago:
I didn’t actually know there was a film adaptation although it makes sense. I’ve tried reading 1984 a few times and they just can’t get into it, so maybe I should watch it instead I don’t know how accurate to the book it is though.

Yeah all those criminals in those boats. The flagshagers fear the competition.

Unfortunately the day in their games don’t really have much mass market appeal and they haven’t innovated. They very much make the same game again and again and again and again with iterative improvements.
- Comment on Police seize £200k Lamborghini under tightened antisocial driving laws 5 days ago:
As someone who has a muscle car that is loud, if you’re doing what you can to be respectful, then people can just be people and live together and not be Karens.
So you have a loud car but also apparently been respectful? How can both things be true, either your bothering people at 8 o’clock in the morning with your loud car, or you have a normal car. You can’t have a loud car, but in a respectful manner, because by being overly loud and obnoxious, it is being disrespectful.
Are you absolutely 100% sure that the people around you don’t think you’re an arsehole, have you checked?
- Comment on Police seize £200k Lamborghini under tightened antisocial driving laws 5 days ago:
And then we can go after the idiots that by American pickup trucks and try and drive them around the back streets of York.
- Comment on Police seize £200k Lamborghini under tightened antisocial driving laws 5 days ago:
Well likely to cause really means likely to do again since these laws usually target problem individuals with a history of law breaking.
All it does is save time, these idiots would get arrested anyway but now the police don’t have to sit a round the corner waiting for them to commit a crimes so they can arrest them.

This must be quite a more tolerant region of friends because the the 2 French people I know would have immediately resorted to violence. Totally valid as well.
