They want to be European, but don’t want the stink of colonialism, whilst also feeling like rebels, so Ireland it is!

It’s not so much cheering on Iran, but not giving a shit about Israel. Like, Israel just attacked Iran, they reap what they sow.

What makes you think Orban will allow even a letter?

Not really. British are from Great Britain (the island).

US Press aren’t high profile by virtue of being American. An individual American journalist is nothing in the eyes of the public. If they shot and killed someone like Anderson Cooper, that’s a big story. Random journalist from ABC News? Would barely make a splash.

Nah, low chance she gets purposefully killed by Israel, she’s way too high profile and white for that to happen.

If she were a low level journalist or middle-eastern, she’s a goner, but she’s wrapped in enough privilege to make it politically non-viable to kill her.

Yeah and now that certain companies run the risk of getting flattened into the ground by Trump, only those companies that actually gave a shit continue to support Pride.

“AAAHHH! Hamas are attacking… Doncaster?”

Whatever Asmongold.

I’d rather smell like a rose than smell like shit.

It is easier than it’s ever been to host your own website. You could have what most personal websites were like in the 00s without ever once coming out of the free tier in Azure. Domains are still gonna cost you, but actual hosting is pennies.

You can’t even get regulatory bodies to have an RSS feed. In my last job I was really annoyed because the only way you could figure out if the EU had changed their chemical regulations is by being in either a very specific LinkedIn group or just checking their website again and again.

It’s hard to write software for regulatory compliance when the regulations and data schema change seemingly at random.

I didn’t subscribe to HBO when Game of Thrones was airing, I’m not about to start now.

Last time she talked about Harry Potter on Twitter, she told everyone that wizards just used to shit themselves until someone invented the toilet.

Or you could just raise the minimum wage to a point where employees earning it are earning too much for food stamps. That’s how the UK does it. They lower the benefits bill by putting the burden on businesses rather than the state.

Science isn’t a belief, it’s a method.

You know for a bunch of tech-savvy people you all seem to fuck up your installs a lot.

Linux can be booted from a USB drive, Windows is deliberately designed to be easy to install and takes less than an hour, and nobody’s installing MacOS anyway.

I reckon it’s because you can’t resist tinkering and never READING THE INSTRUCTIONS

They are kind of a crisis for pensions, mind. The whole idea of a state pension is that for every worker there are approximately two more paying in to cover the costs of the pensions. Every generation is paying the pensions of the previous generation. Obviously it’s actually less than two because of tax brackets and the fact that people die early, but on the whole, it’s roughly two people.

If population declines, well you’re gonna have to re-think your pensions and social care and find the money and/or labour somehow.

Does Superman often throw cars at people? Why throw a car when a punch does more damage when you’re Superman? Hulk would, but that’s just because he likes to throw and smash things, not because he’s being logical about it.
