I got a C in GCSE Geography so I know more than this guy!

Why not? Are my posts not good enough for you Mr Bluesky?

Given the batshit crazy other people that seem to be put into the other positions… I assume this guy doesn’t believe in money and thinks they should instead switch to a system where basic necessities and housing are provided by your employer, and everything else must be earned through hard work and a points system at your company and government run stores… right?

Or is it even crazier than that 😅

Boomers are all bigoted, sexist, climate change denying pieces of shit?

… kinda a shitty take there mate. Lots of them are terrible, but so aye lots of people from other generations too, and tarring them all with the same brush is only going to alienate the good ones and make them quite reasonably dislike you.

This is fucking hilarious, best news I’ve heard in forever.

I’m always annoyed when people say “You should just get therapy”, because of how completely inaccessible it is to those of us not wealthy enough to be in the upper middle class, which is most of us these days.

They’re basically saying “Your problems are fixable but only if you’ve got thousands of pounds to throw away on a therapist, if you’re a normal working class person you’re fecked”.

You might as well be saying “Homeless? Just buy a house duuh”.

I know you yourself mean well (and you do use the “practical” caveat which is appreciated), I don’t mean to sound overly harsh, it’s just this comes up a lot and as someone suffering greatly from mental illness destroying my life that I can’t afford to get treatment for it’s very depressing :-(

Is IPFS something your family and friends check on regularly? I don’t even know what it is.

Considering your reluctance to give any information about your assertion that such a project using it becomes useless, I’m not sure you know what it is either :P

I’ve met plenty of Tories and their ilk, but none of them would vote for someone they publicly think is basically Hitler.

This bloke’s thought processes are so alien to us they I don’t think we’ll ever understand him, sadly.

Probably the Tories

How is it gonna nag me to upgrade to Windows 11 when I don’t have a TPM?

I’d love to upgrade, the system is completely capable of running it, but because it doesn’t have a useless bit of hardware I can’t. Fuck em.

Oh my GOSH you did not just say FUCK, on MY internet?

Straight to hell!

Because space history and space archaeology is super cool :-D

PG Tips :-D

I know everyone goes on about Yorkshire Tea and sure I like it too, but I’ve been drinking PG Tips several times a day for my entire life, and I love it.

Proper tea that keeps England going!

I can’t wait to see Commander Shepard, she’s gonna be bloody great!

I wonder which origin they’ll go with…

What’s he holding in his hand? What’s he doing? I’m so confused xD

Many many things, but one I’ve not seen touched on much is how LONG the lead up is.

Here, quite often they announce an election and then a few weeks later we have the election.

It doesn’t really make any sense to drag it out, that’s more than enough time to learn about the candidates, the current state of the various parties and their manifestos, and time for debates and discussions and such before polling day.

The idea that an election run up can go on for months and months and months feels silly/wasteful.

The difference I suspect is in the ease of which we have access to local polling stations within walking distance of our homes, and how short the queues are, if there are queues at all.

In the US these problems can be magnified, especially if everybody is trying to pile in to the stations (or just reach them) within the one hour they have before their 12 hour shift, etc.

Good thing the “Feds” have zero jurisdiction in my country then. Feck em.

I say mould because I’m English and that’s just how it’s spelled here (we also pronounce it with a U, pronouncing it without the U as mold would be…strange).

Not an overly exciting response I know, but there you go :P

Ah yes, technology videos are really bad. Especially that Technology Connections guy, he’s the absolute worst.

And don’t even get me started on technology video reviews, tutorials, guides, educational materials and tech news. I only consume technology information in newspaper form. This new video thing just won’t catch on.
