- Comment on Itch.io is delisting NSFW games due to pressure from payment processors 1 week ago:
be careful. stablecoins are a step towards central bank digital currency. once CBDC is established, it’s all over for freedom to spend money.
- Comment on Labour MP claims it'd cost "Upwards of £100bn to Nationalise Water". He is an extremely smart man. Why does he lie like this? 2 weeks ago:
No, they need to be made to put it right. But that requires a strong regulatory framework, sustained pressure from government backed with expertise and oversight from a capable civil service and it will take years.
Or we can burn it all down and get faraj who will not give two shits about water quality. The choice is ours.
- Comment on Labour MP claims it'd cost "Upwards of £100bn to Nationalise Water". He is an extremely smart man. Why does he lie like this? 2 weeks ago:
100% I’d love to see nationalised utilities more than anyone else but we need to be realistic that the two choices are:
- the government spends an obscene amount of money to buy out the private interests, economy collapses and faraj gets in, or
- the government changes laws and takes ownership of the companies (and the debts) some way, needs to borrow tons to service the debts, economy collapses and faraj gets in, or
- the government just straight up steals control and the shareholders eat the losses. The above scenario plays out where pension funds collapse, the country is punished by investors withdrawing, economy collapses, faraj gets in. Free holidays to El salvador all round.
- Comment on Realities of hosting a tor relay node at home 1 month ago:
Tor operator here.
If you don’t have a second IP for your relay, don’t host at home. You will have CAPTCHAs everywhere, many sites will block you and your ISP will eventually contact you to stop degrading their IP space reputation.
Most website owners don’t discriminate between Tor exits and relays. They subscribe to block-lists that include all known Tor IP addresses. Major online services will make your browsing experience really shitty and once you’re a “known Tor IP” it will take months to remove that reputation.
- Comment on What are some good examples of "Where the fuck do you go" kind of games? 2 months ago:
Beneath a Steel Sky, where literally half the game is going back and talking to everyone you’ve spoken to before for one extra dialog option that advances the plot
- Comment on Liz Truss to launch her own ‘uncensorable’ social media platform 3 months ago:
Desperate to somehow stay relevant. Shunned by Trump at his inauguration, despised by most of her party and the laughing stock of the opposition.

- Comment on [deleted] 4 months ago:
too bad you can’t get plastic unistrut. that would be perfect.
- Comment on How likely do you think there will be a run on the banks? 5 months ago:
I mean, they’re offering a 1 year fixed rate bond and paying 6.71% interest, no wonder they went bust 🤭
- Comment on Elon Musk wants the U.S. to “Liberate the people Britain from their tyrannical government” 6 months ago:
it’s all a big ploy to give the US bargaining chips when negotiating with the UK for trade agreements.
“well we’re going to tariff the shit out of you unless we can sell chlorine washed chickens in your country”
“oh also fuck your publicly owned railways and roads, you’ll sell them to us at a discount or you’ll be sorry.”
“by the way we’re still going to endorse and fund far right parties and destabilise your democracy - that’s just what allies do, right?”

- Comment on Row as Starmer suggests landlords and shareholders are not ‘working people’ 9 months ago:
you’ll put those savings into a stocks and shares ISA where any gains from stocks are tax free guaranteed.
If you have more than £20k a year to put away into stocks and shares then yeah you need to pay some tax bruv.
- Comment on Random Screenshots of my Games #7 - Battlezone 98 Redux 10 months ago:
In the first mission of Battlezone, it’s possible to travel out of the map and find a 1960s lunar lander that you can enter and pilot. It’s equipped with a one of a kind super weapon that plays trance music as you fire it.
Unfortunately it’s only available in the first mission and you can’t take it with you to subsequent missions.
