Hi there!
- Comment on YSK about 15 bean soup. 14 hours ago:
I’m sold, this sounds fantastic! Where might I procure it in the UK do you reckon?
God I wanna eat it right now
- Comment on ... 3 days ago:
I haven’t heard anything from this guy in years and then yesterday I see he gave a speech about that bloke that got shot in America, and now this post too suggesting he’s Santa.
Is he making a bit of a comeback? Or just a random coincidence!
- Comment on Time to bash Americans again 5 days ago:
The above chap hit the nail on the head in terms of the UK.
Sure, hardcore criminals can get their hands on a gun, but the sort of people who want to cause trouble at a school certainly don’t.
I went to one of the worst schools in the country and while some of our students did occasionally murder people out in their private lives (I lived in the biggest shit hole in the country - the government even said so), in the school itself the worst thing I ever saw was a pupil throwing a chair at a teacher. And that was incredibly rare and shocking.
A student did arson one of the maths rooms too but that was over the weekend when nobody was there. They really hated that teacher haha. We had to do the rest of the year’s maths lessons in the Hall. So weird.
But ya, that’s all the extreme cases, and they’re nowhere remotely near “gun” territory. That’s just insanity. I never felt unsafe in a school.
- Comment on The USA prided itself on a nation of immigrant, heck even the Statue of Liberty says it. When did immigrants (US citizens from the old world) become anti immigrant and why? 1 week ago:
That’s a term? What’s it mean, besides identifying someone as black and Irish? O.o

American boomers*
- Comment on It is. Just accept it 2 weeks ago:
It is too late, yeah. Good to realise and feel it sometimes I think.
What’s with the picture tho? Is that a frozen chicken? Just a random choice?

Hey no fair, the US is just copying us! (UK)
We targeted Wikipedia first recently waaaaa
- Comment on Microsoft Word documents will be saved to the cloud automatically on Windows going forward 2 weeks ago:
Let’s say this huge breach of security and privacy is okay.
How are Microsoft ensuring these sensitive documents are not being transferred via or stored on servers located in hostile countries with lax data laws (such as foreign nations like the USA?).
- Comment on They are a lot smarter than you think 2 weeks ago:
Ah yes, hooman fee-mayles!
Does anyone else find it unhealthily creepy the way people put a voice to pets like this to anthropomorphise them, and gives them a creepy toddler voice to boot?
They’re smart in their own ways, but they don’t think the way we do, and we’ll never know exactly what they’re thinking or why. Let’s not presume to know what’s going on inside their heads.
And let’s not presume to add our own vocal track to their thoughts. Especially a creepy toddler one.

Vintqge Story is my favourite game :3
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
Which of the items in the list do you disagree with?
There’s one or two things in there that I could certainly understand somebody reasonably not entirely supporting.
- Comment on Creative and Inspiring building design 2 weeks ago:
I’d hardly call it creative or inspiring.
It’s good that it wasn’t just built as an ugly rectangle, but I could have come up with that basic design in 10 minutes, and I’m not very creative.
Still, it’s better than the alternative! Hopefully it’s nicer inside too?
- Comment on 3 weeks ago:
Americans fucking with the rest of us again? Why am I not surprised.
There’s so many good people in that country, I hope they can take down their evil fascist government and restore decency before we have to cut ties entirely to mitigate the damage they’re trying to do.
Our alliance with them is currently dying a death by a thousand cuts. Keep this up and eventually it’ll be over, sadly.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
Is there a way to limit it to news from Europe, or at least stop it heavily leaning into American stuff?
I took a peek but it’s too often USA this and USA that, and I’m a little sick of hearing about that country in general these days, haha.
Thankee sai <3
- Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
It’s weird that I never get any of that sort of guff, same with YouTube suggestions, they’re always at minimum decent quality things I might be interested in.
I’ve never been recommended a Mister Beast video, for example, or any of that rubbish.
Not that I want to just lean on Google services or anything, it’s just really weird that the algorithm works so well for me and so poorly for other people. I really wish I knew why!

Okay I drained another lake but I think this time I’ve got what you need;
- AI search recycles work into bland results.
- “Google Zero” may kill site traffic.
- Values human trust and personality.
- Humanity will be consumed all hail AI.
- Site is for people, not AI.
- Comment on This website is for humans 4 weeks ago:
Wow, 8 whole paragraphs? Don’t worry guys ChatGPT’s got ur back 🔥😎🔥
The author criticises AI search tools like Google’s for repackaging human-created content—such as recipes—into bland, soulless summaries, depriving original creators of credit, personality, and traffic. They highlight “Google Zero,” a feared future when AI answers replace visits to real websites, threatening independent writers and the ecosystems built around them.
They stress that their website exists for human readers, not machines. Each article is crafted with care, personality, and lived experience, intended to spark thought, connection, and conversation—not to be scraped, flattened, or mimicked by corporate AI models.
- Comment on Popup Ads in Your Pickup Truck? RAM Trucks Now Feature Scammy Ads on the Center Display 5 weeks ago:
Good. I’ve seen those RAM vehicles, they’re all american “tiny penis wagons” as I like to call them. Ridiculously pointlessly gigantic vehicles, all the better for running down children and guzzling petrol.
The tossers who drive those don’t deserve good things.
- Comment on California slave labor: Jailed pre-trial detainees work for private firm—for nothing 5 weeks ago:
“Jailed pre-trial detainees” is an interesting way of saying “Innocent people”.
Let us not forget that they are all innocent, because they have not been convinced of any crime at this point.
It’s just slavery, but then, they never did abolish slavery over there, sadly. Just moved it over to people who don’t have a voice, so that they can’t defend themselves. Evil people do sometimes learn from their mistakes, sadly.
- Comment on Trump says he plans to put a 100% tariff on computer chips, likely pushing up cost of electronics 5 weeks ago:
How much prison time have you served in state and federal prisons, if I may ask?
Forgive me for asking, it’s just to judge how much direct experience you have with what you’re claiming to be knowledgeable on.
There are sadly a lot of people in the Internet who would say such things without ever having actually experienced them firsthand, and it’s important we educate ourselves on the difference. Thanks!
- Comment on YSK: This recent war on adult content was mostly started by a single law in 2018, pushed by a few evangelical groups pretending to fight sexual exploitation 1 month ago:
Ah, this isn’t talking about the big war on adult content in the UK right now that’s across all the headlines. Just for those who wanted to see more on that. This is foreign stuff.
- Comment on AI Chatbots Remain Overconfident — Even When They’re Wrong: Large Language Models appear to be unaware of their own mistakes, prompting concerns about common uses for AI chatbots. 1 month ago:
People really do not like seeing opposing viewpoints, eh? There’s disagreeing, and then there’s downvoting to oblivion without even engaging in a discussion, haha.
Even if they’re probably right, in such murky uncertain waters where we’re not experts, one should have at least a little open mind, or live and let live.
- Comment on Rule34 blocked the UK entirely rather than comply due to the new law. 1 month ago:
And giving them sweeping ability to track everybody via their identity papers, to see what websites and services they’re using, what all their online identities are, etc.
They claim the info isn’t being saved or passed on to the government to form a big surveillance database to one day use against people - sure, it’s legal to, say, be gay or a socialist or of a particular religion today, but societies and regimes change, and the info they collect on you today may become ammunition against you in 10, 20, 40 years time.
But I don’t for a moment believe their obvious lies.
This is nothing but authoritarian police state monitoring and control. It’s extremely obvious. Yet, who are we to vote for in the next election? Not Labour, thanks to this (and a few other big reasons perhaps), not the Tories because, well, you’ve seen what they’re like.
It’s not impossible for a third party to be elected of course, not as impossible as places like the USA that have a very worryingly solidified two party system, it’s just very unlikely.
Knowing the British people and their seeming apathy and poor judgement at scale these days I wouldn’t be surprised if they elect the racist bigots at Reform - who ironically would be even more authoritarian and evil than what we have now.
As usual, there’s no hope for the future and no possibility of good outcomes.
Humanity is doomed to repeat it’s failures for all of history again and again, and we’re just along for the miserable ride.

- Comment on YSK Billionaire Rupert Murdoch owns Sky News, The New York Post, The Sun, The Times,Fox News and the Wall Street Journal. He is the most powerful businessman in the West 1 month ago:
Aahhhh, that makes more sense. I wondered how such a seemingly respectable, proper journalistic platform could be owned by that tosser, haha.
Well, small victories I suppose! Thank you for clarifying that.

Alas no, brain aneurysms don’t have to have any outward symptoms at all until they strike, and then you’re dead within minutes.
You can spot some issues before they kill you if you have a brain scan, but as you’ve got no symptoms, why would you be having a brain MRI once a month?
So, alas, it’s a silent, deadly killer. One day you just drop dead for seemingly no reason.
RIP Grant, you were fuckin rad.
- Comment on YSK Billionaire Rupert Murdoch owns Sky News, The New York Post, The Sun, The Times,Fox News and the Wall Street Journal. He is the most powerful businessman in the West 1 month ago:
It’s a shame, I had no idea he owned Sky News. I usually found them to be an excellent professional news source when one doesn’t want the Governmental bias of the BBC.
I wouldn’t trust Comedy Central though, joke or not, they’re American, and the Americans can’t be trusted these days either.
I suppose the lesson here, sadly, is that we can’t believe anything from any source at all. Assume everything is half-truths, half-reported, and what we’re being shown is the distraction from the thing they don’t want us to look at.
I wish I knew how to find the hidden “real news”, but the sorts of people that purport to provide it are loonies in their basements in tinfoil hats, alas. Though, perhaps that’s just the image of them that the media wants us to see…
:-(

Feck you too, I guess. If that’s how you want to behave.
I could understand you being unhappy with our government, but just blanket swearing at all 68 million of us is a dick move.
