Not sure if the future tense ‘will’ is appropriate here

This is the point. Whether ice is likely to form is a very important aspect of weather.
Is it going snow instead of rain. Are the roads going to be treacherous. Will my water supply stop flowing.

- Comment on there's now more ads in "legit" sites (YouTube, amazon) than in piracy sites 1 month ago:
They’ve still got a good reputation for news. So good that after a few combative interviews with Tory MPs (back when they were in power a few years ago) the Culture Secretary wanted to sell the channel off.
Don’t get me wrong they can still produce the occasional good comedy or documentary but they used to do so consistently.
- Comment on there's now more ads in "legit" sites (YouTube, amazon) than in piracy sites 1 month ago:
You won’t get any disagreement from me on the corrosive effects of advertising.
I do think that Channel 4 used to regularly produce greater content than it can now. But that probably is more to do with advertising revenue being leeched away to online platforms and the growth of its direct competitors.
- Comment on there's now more ads in "legit" sites (YouTube, amazon) than in piracy sites 1 month ago:
Well the distinction here is that TV license paying citizens of the UK don’t get the ads.

These days, you get arrested and thrown in jail if you say you’re English.

In the UK the BBC only has advertisements for its own content, nothing else. As bad as its got since Tony Blair and David Cameron both undermined its independence and quality, at least there are no ad breaks in its shows.

Well… in my mind and in my car, we can’t rewind, we’ve gone too far.
Oh-a-a-a-Oh

The usual cycle of tech-bro capitalism would put them currently on the early acquire market saturation stage. So it’s unlikely that they are currently charging what they will when they are established and have displaced lots of necessary occupations.

List of Distributist parties in the UK:
National Distributist Party British National Party National Front
Hmmm, maybe the Catholic part isn’t the only part worth reviewing.
Also worth noting that the Conservative Party’s ‘Big Society’ schtick in 2010 was wrapped in the trappings of distributism.
Not that all this diminishes it entirely but it does seem to be an entry drug for exploitation by the right.
I gotta hold my hand up and state that I am not read up on it at all, so happy to be corrected. But my impression is that Pope Leo XIII’s conception was to reduce secular power so as to leave a void for the church to fill. And it’s the potential exploitation of that void that attracts the far right too.

- Comment on Handy guide for today's eclipse. 7 months ago:
I was on holiday in Munich for that eclipse. It was badly overcast there too. When the full eclipse hit in it got really dark so everybody was screaming and yelling at the sky in the park we were in so at least it was a bit of an event.
- Comment on Minimum wage is UK’s ‘most successful economic policy in a generation’ 7 months ago:
To be fair we’ve had various shades of unfettered neoliberalism for near on 50 years; so it’s a policy without an awful lot of competition.

I think that’s more, ‘edgy’ incel humour, than your standard boomer contempt-of-partner knee slapper.
- Comment on First game you played 9 months ago:
Mazogs on my godparents ZX81. Back in the days on cassette tape uploading. The game was basically navigating a maze and occasionally fighting spiders. Which was a luck based thing where you just ran into them and waited for the result.

Same. Gonna have to find some way of pirating the shows I ‘purchased’ on prime so that I can still go back to them.
