I hear their love can be bone shattering.
(honestly I think whoever was rolling the dice for Toc just kept getting 1s)
- Comment on UK households could face VPN 'ban' after use skyrockets following Online Safety Bill 6 days ago:
how much effort they put on showing the world the consequences of extremely stupid acts so the rest don’t have to do it.
Kinda sucks to be the world’s policy alpha tester though.
- Comment on UK households could face VPN 'ban' after use skyrockets following Online Safety Bill 6 days ago:
You think given how well thought through this online safety act has been that they’ll understand that would be an issue and legislate accordingly?
- Comment on UK households could face VPN 'ban' after use skyrockets following Online Safety Bill 6 days ago:
How many small businesses can afford such permit? Hell, I’d argue that even bigger companies will have a problem paying for that.
Feature, not a bug.
They want people back in offices to help landlords and property prices. This way they can say that remote work is not banned and it’s just companies choosing not to buy a permit and offer it.
- Comment on UK households could face VPN 'ban' after use skyrockets following Online Safety Bill 6 days ago:
Oh that makes it easier for the government.
Maybe that the end goal, force people back into the office by banning vpn
- Comment on UK households could face VPN 'ban' after use skyrockets following Online Safety Bill 6 days ago:
Ban remote working, vpn now only allowed from business addresses as registered with companies house.
- Comment on UK households could face VPN 'ban' after use skyrockets following Online Safety Bill 6 days ago:
Next step: ban on remote work.
- Comment on UK Government responded to the "Repeal the Online Safety Act" Petition. 6 days ago:
What I don’t get is why it’s ok to view that at 18 but not at 17 years and 364 days. Surely just ban the site for everyone.
- Comment on UK Government responded to the "Repeal the Online Safety Act" Petition. 6 days ago:
For example, the Government is very concerned about small platforms that host harmful content, such as forums dedicated to encouraging suicide or self-harm.
So they’ve identified a problem with this type of content, and the answer is to put it behind an age wall. So is it a-ok for anyone over 18 to be encouraged to self harm or commit suicide according to the government?
- Comment on Too bad we can't have good public transportation 6 days ago:
This is a good point, however the me meme is comparing to 1996. I think there’s some way to go until it drops back that far.

It’s true that China’s co2 per capita has gone up sharply, however it’s still about 30% lower than the yanks. China is also dwarfing other countries with the amounts of renewable energy currently under construction globalenergymonitor.org/…/solar_wind_in_construct…
- Comment on I highlighted the VPN part so that everyone knows to not use them 1 week ago:
Should, not must. Like the highway code should rules and must rules.
- Comment on Age verification and the enshitification of streaming will help reduce the decline in computer literacy in under 18s 1 week ago:
The world has changed. I don’t think the lads mags of old or going to the one corner shop where you knew they weren’t going to bother checking your ID for a top shelf mag is going to cut it with teens who are used to 10 monster cocks gangbang pawg.

Hormones and porn addiction. You think a 16 year old who’s been watching porn for years is going to give it up over night?

They’d have to keep it for businesses. So I guess next headline: number of uk sole traders jumps by 1400%.

Wish we could have some of those rules here in the UK…
- Comment on ‘If I switch it off, my girlfriend might think I’m cheating’: inside the rise of couples location sharing 1 week ago:
I’m still good ta. But it might be ok for the person I was replying too. I assume that there’s been independent verification of their claims and we’re not just taking them at their word.

Are you happy with the company that makes the all and the 71960 partner companies with “legitimate interest” knowing where you are all the time too?
- Comment on I'm doing my part! 2 weeks ago:
Surely it’s fraud. They say they’re going to recycle (presumably charge whoever they charge based on that too) then just dump it.
- Comment on I'm doing my part! 2 weeks ago:
Surely that can’t be legal?

Aren’t most plumbers shelf employed though?
- Comment on It's just loss. 3 weeks ago:
But why that metric? What makes that metric a good metric to use? Was that metric genuinely the best, or was it the best to get the answer they wanted to satisfy whoever was funding the study?
we’re not voting for president of the mammals.
No, but in general it’s worth questioning any stats and figures because people we vote for use them to make policy decisions
- Comment on It's just loss. 3 weeks ago:
Which I think is intentionally disingenuous as it massively favours the large mammals over the far higher number of species of smaller mammals.
For example you’d need over 70 squeal monkeys to make to the biomass of an average American.
Humans and other great apes can be considered mega fauna, so it doesn’t seem surprising that us and the animals we consume make up a higher percentage of bio mass. Were bigger.
- Comment on YSK that apart from not having a car, the single greatest thing you can do for the climate is simply eating less red meat 3 weeks ago:
Isn’t not having kids more impactful than anything as that’s entire person’s life of co2 you’re not creating.

- Comment on Goals 5 weeks ago:
Serious money bags. Not only have they bought somewhere, they’re redecorating it and getting rid of the carpet the old owner left!
- Comment on Goals 5 weeks ago:
Exactly. Buying a carpet implies they’ve already bought somewhere to fit the carpet
