The line on the graph must go up, even if it's for one second! Glory to the CEO! Praise the shareholders! My life for the corporation! Now give me that minute-by-minute profit projection!

They should drop the pretenses and rename DWP to Aktion T4. It does the same thing.

Unelected and unaccountable - a perfect combination for the head of state.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Disabled people are trying to tell us how benefits system is killing them. It’s time we listened.⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
Exactly. I sometimes grapple with an urge to slightly exaggerate my issues to make sure I get a fair assessment.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Disabled people are trying to tell us how benefits system is killing them. It’s time we listened.⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
I love it when the ~~DWP~~ Aktion T4 question if I'm still autistic or not. Believe me, I wish I could stop being autistic and not have anxiety over very normal things and sudden changes. Even the initial application for PIP or DLA was a nightmare as an uncaring system was not convinced I was autistic despite all of the evidence provided by my GP. They very nearly ran me out of money when I got sanctioned without realising it, followed by a year of further paperwork battles as the ~~DWP~~ Aktion T4 continued to deliberately misinterpret everything.

Then there's a lot of anti-welfare crap swirling around the internet, so I sometimes feel guilty about claiming anything even though I know it's legitimate. People are salivating at the idea of the DWP having enforcement powers, checking where you go on holiday (even though a flight can cost less than a train ticket) and other intrusive measures.

Honestly, if I had to fight the DWP alone, I probably would have offed myself by now. It's tough enough even with my really good support network.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nitrous oxide: Laughing gas possession becomes illegal⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
There's already evidence in the UK that a progressive approach works, but it has been forgotten about. Middlesbrough police trialled a scheme where they provided heroin users with their fix. All of a sudden, the users stopped committing offences to raise money for their habit, which in turn deprived dealers of a lucrative source of income.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nitrous oxide: Laughing gas possession becomes illegal⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

"Today we are sending a clear signal to young people that there are consequences for misusing drugs. Both users and dealers will face the full force of the law for their actions,"

Criminalising the users has worked so well with other drugs, hasn't it? The war on drugs will be won any second now...

"In my day, I was able to buy a house for twelve pence by asking the boss for a raise. Why can't you do that today?"

I know Buddhism teaches that life is suffering, but I'm pretty sure the idea is to reduce suffering, not spread it.

Amazing beards, too.

Next the Tories will get outraged about people owning flatscreen TVs as though it's totally new technology.

Enjoy! Let me know how it turns out!
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If you could play one game for the first time all over again, what would it be?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
'Or?' Why not both?

That game was such a wild ride from start to end! The final mission made my heart thump and I appreciated the fact that nobody is truly safe, more-so with a few mods that make it less predictable.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If you could play one game for the first time all over again, what would it be?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
It's hard to pick just one:
- Deus Ex. It's timelessly topical despite being released in 2000. It predicted the War on Terror and a massive pandemic to name a couple.
- Spiritfarer, for maximum onion chopping. Saying goodbye to Gwen really messed me up since I became very attached to her, and I can't finish the last stretch of the game because it's too emotionally taxing.
- Undertale and wholesome fan-games like Act to Flirt.
- Half-Life 2, circa 2004 when it was a leap ahead of everything else. I was unsettled by the teaser screenshots due to how real it all seemed to be during its heyday. (I did re-capture part of that feeling with M Mod and its great yet faithful modernisation effects. Plus there's some blursed mods you can combine with it such as replacing Alyx with Krystal, voiced by the original actress.)
- Duke Nukem 3D: Alien Armageddon. It blew me away how much custom content and passion has been invested, so good that it almost felt like I was playing Duke Nukem for the first time all over again.

⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Workers at Amazon UK warehouse to walk out on Black Friday⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

In response to a request for comment, Amazon UK Country Manager John Boumphrey said the company offered competitive wages and benefits.

'Competitive wages' translates to 'shite to mediocre.'
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨France VPNs might be banned amid SREN Bill's new "unreasonable amendments"⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
I fear that the UK might try to join this list not just out of authoritarianism, but out of a fear of technology they do not understand. Worse yet, the Conservative party once threw around the idea of banning encryption in its entirety and acted like WhatsApp is only used by criminals.

I'm sure they're already planning a traditional riot as I type this comment.

I think many of them know that and are just career hooligans.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can you melt eggs? Quora’s AI says “yes,” and Google is sharing the result⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
I read a lot of world war two history, so search engines naturally shove such parts of Quora at me. Some are more subtle about being Neo-Nazis, but are defintely pushing the agenda.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can you melt eggs? Quora’s AI says “yes,” and Google is sharing the result⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
Even when Quora isn't being ruined with AI, it's flooded with Neo-Nazis that are self-proclaimed historians.

Sprinkled with self-hating immigrant background for good measure.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:
This is why I've shied away from new AAA titles in general. I keep going back to the older stuff because in the words of Godd Howard "It just works." or smaller indie titles where a beta state is forgivable, yet still less of a mess than Cyberpunk on launch day.
