- Comment on Society may have overestimated risk of the ‘manosphere’, UK researchers say 1 day ago:
It’s incorrect to say they have 0 expertise. One of their main functions is to set and enforce content standards, and a lot of research is done connected to that.
- Comment on DARPA is testing a device soldiers can swallow to make them less stressed 3 days ago:
Maybe stress is appropriate to people who kill people for a living?
- Comment on Franks and Beans: Take 2 4 days ago:
Or find some British baked beans.
- Comment on VPN Registrations Increase by 1,000%, less than Hour After PornHub Blocked France From Accessing its Website. 5 days ago:
Ironically, it was PornHub’s parent company that was set to run the UK age verification scheme.
- Comment on Why are American cops allowed to be morbidly obese? 1 week ago:
They have representation in other ways. For instance in Britain, where it is illegal for police to unionise, there is instead a government-funded Police Federation, which independently advocates for police working conditions and supplies advice and representation for police in disciplinary affairs. The main difference from a union is that it is free to members and that police are not allowed to go on strike.
- Comment on Why are American cops allowed to be morbidly obese? 1 week ago:
That sticker was exclusive to the LAPD, but it kept turning up in films made in Hollywood set elsewhere, so other regions adopted it eventually too.
- Comment on YSK about the GI Rights Hotline 1 week ago:
People who have decided to take up arms against other humans for money have passed some sort of rubicon I feel. They might be pursuaded to suppress their violent mercenary instincts for a while, but ultimately every violent repressive regime relies on these people, and has indoctrinated them accordingly.
- Comment on France's president will visit Greenland in a show of EU unity, Danish leader says 1 week ago:
Yes, it is. But it is a territory of Denmark that isn’t part of the EU.
- Comment on ‘Cleaner, greener and absolute reliability’: trams make UK comeback 1 week ago:
It’s all about the cost savings (in the short term. I don’t know how long such trackwork would last)
- Comment on YSK about the GI Rights Hotline 1 week ago:
If the sort of person who was part of those organisations cared about rule of law, none of them would have boarded planes to Iraq. Appreciate the optimism though.
- Comment on France's president will visit Greenland in a show of EU unity, Danish leader says 1 week ago:
Greenland isn’t in the EU however.

What a surprise.

E-ink is a slow deve
- Comment on Reform UK to accept donations via bitcoin, Nigel Farage says 2 weeks ago:
They’re required to collect details.
- Comment on Sure.. 2 weeks ago:
Try saying it again in a higher register.
- Comment on The UK government is considering mandatory chemical castration for sex offenders – it’s an ethical and legal minefield 2 weeks ago:
No medical professional worth a damn would ever advocate this. Indeed it’s a violation of the Hippocratic oath.
- Comment on Reform UK to accept donations via bitcoin, Nigel Farage says 2 weeks ago:
They aren’t anonymous.
- Comment on Former Meta exec says asking for artist permission will kill AI industry 2 weeks ago:
They’re referring to a font used in promotional materials, rather than the advert itself.
- Comment on Former Meta exec says asking for artist permission will kill AI industry 2 weeks ago:
That’s a myth. The music was licenced, as was the font.
- Comment on How I discovered my partner was an undercover police officer sent to spy on me 3 weeks ago:
7/7 was committed by an internal threat. As was the Manchester Arena bombing, the assassinations of Jo Cox and David Amess and attempted assassination of Stephen Timms, the Streatham stabbings, the London Bridge attacks in 2017 and 2019, the Westminster car attack, Finsbury Park attack, 2017 Westminster attack, murder and attempted beheading of Lee Rigby, Glasgow Airport attack, London nail bombings……
But sure, we don’t need internal intelligence agencies at all.
- Comment on 53% of Israeli public opposes aid entering Gaza, new poll shows 3 weeks ago:
Not wholly, as if there was any proof then US funding would have to cease. The first official acknowledgment came in 2023.

The Nazis never got nuclear weapons.
- Comment on Comfy cozy 3 weeks ago:
And over decades, many of you didn’t care enough to vote those stains out. Here you reap the harvest of decades of apathy, laziness, performative “patriotism” and religion. Trump was an entirely predictable circumstance.
- Comment on Comfy cozy 3 weeks ago:
The US is no longer the number 1. China is way ahead in global influence now.
- Comment on Common British L 3 weeks ago:
I thought Americans thought English Mustard was far too spicy.
- Comment on Trump says a 25% tariff "must be paid by Apple" on iPhones not made in the US, says he told Tim Cook long ago that iPhones sold in the US must be made in the US 3 weeks ago:
Apple spent millions per year in fines for decades just because Steve Jobs didn’t want illuminated fire exit signs polluting the decor of his Apple stores. Their cash reserves exceed $150bn. They won’t do anything they don’t want to do.
- Comment on Trump says a 25% tariff "must be paid by Apple" on iPhones not made in the US, says he told Tim Cook long ago that iPhones sold in the US must be made in the US 3 weeks ago:
Airline pilots and train drivers must be passed as mentally fit before they’re allowed to control the destiny of a few thousand people.
Perhaps at least that much care could be taken with the job that holds the ability to launch nuclear weapons.
- Comment on Speak American 3 weeks ago:
The last royal veto was in 1708, and any attempt to do so now would probably end the monarchy.
- Comment on Someone has finally been held accountable for the war in Gaza, and it's Gary Lineker 3 weeks ago:
He was supposed to return for whatever big tournament is next up.
