- Comment on Every time a stranger has saved me from something they always dressed in the same "unusual" way. Is this actually weird though? 9 hours ago:
I miss the days when lunatics didn’t have the ability to communicate with anyone further away than the local pub.
- Comment on Why do big people wear the tiniest shit especially at rallys or riots? Like on Jan 6 I saw a bunch of big stupid people have on bullet proof vest that was only maybe 6inch by 6inch or tinier? 10 hours ago:
Who knows. Yeah the plates came in fixed sizes but they made sure you were properly fitted with the most appropriate size for your height and body type
- Comment on The Good News in Rachel Reeves’ Budget 11 hours ago:
The good news if you have kids and you’re on benefits…
For everyone else I’m not really seeing any benefits.
They had a real opportunity to go after the truly wealthy.
- Comment on RAM is so expensive that stores are selling it at market prices 11 hours ago:
Or its affecting America more because of a combination of tariffs and profiteering.
- Comment on RAM is so expensive that stores are selling it at market prices 11 hours ago:
You can get 32gb of ram in the UK for the equivalent of $130…
You guys are being ripped off
- Comment on Why do big people wear the tiniest shit especially at rallys or riots? Like on Jan 6 I saw a bunch of big stupid people have on bullet proof vest that was only maybe 6inch by 6inch or tinier? 12 hours ago:
Proper stuff does.
When I was in the police my body armour was fitted, the plates went down to about an inch above my waist
- Comment on Forever young 1 day ago:
They’re all 50 years old
- Comment on Forever young 2 days ago:
I’m 42. I suck at FPS. I downloaded battlefield 6 and hated it.
It wasn’t always this way. I still have a screenshot from COD World at War where I got over 100 kills and only died once during a game.
- Comment on Could another country like Great Britain Release the Full Epstein files? 4 days ago:
Yes. Who would stop us?
- Comment on Hertfordshire police admit unlawful arrest of couple in school WhatsApp row – report 1 week ago:
Completely agree. Sounds like the police totally bungled it
- Comment on Hertfordshire police admit unlawful arrest of couple in school WhatsApp row – report 1 week ago:
I’ve encountered these sorts of parents before and can tell you they are a fucking nightmare to deal with.
Every indication was they weren’t just advocating for their kids. They were bombarding the school with repeated and vexatious complaints and encouraging others to do the same.
If the repeated contact had gotten to the point that the school felt they needed to report it to the police then thats typically a sign that it was bad. Can 100% guarantee the school would have sought legal advice first.
- Comment on Why the NHS doctors’ strikes look set to continue 1 week ago:
The last pay rise was afforded by making hundreds, if not thousands of civil servants redundant.
I’m curious, where is the next above inflation rise going to come from?
Dont get me wrong, they (some of them anyway) deserve the money. But not at the expense of everyone else.
- Comment on Protip: Don't lose count 3 weeks ago:
Ha, jokes on you Master Bruce. I have an airsoft pistol that carries 30 rounds.
- Comment on Are bots on lemmy? 3 weeks ago:
Hello fellow human, I’m so glad you asked. All evidence points to there being no bots here
- Comment on Did it really used to be common for guys to go to a bar every night like in Cheers or The Simpsons? 4 weeks ago:
Worked in a pub in the UK.
Yes, we had regulars. They’d be there nearly every night after work for a quick pint before heading home.
Very few of them would stay for more than one or two though
- Comment on We must act now: without a written constitution, Reform UK will have carte blanche to toxify our nation 4 weeks ago:
America has a written constitution. Can’t see it’s helping very much.
- Comment on Family seek £180k-a-year tutor from 'socially appropriate background' to prepare one-year-old son for ‘Eton or Harrow’ 5 weeks ago:
A 1 year old?
I’d quite happily wing it for a few months until I got found out. 4 months and thats a few k over my annual salary.
Remember, nobody can prove you weren’t a regional manager for ToysRus
- Comment on Why do so many boomers and even some gen x believe so peristently that if you dressup and show up in person anywhere you will get whatever you went there for? 5 weeks ago:
The only time showing up in person works in the UK is if you’re a teenager looking for part time or apprenticeship work in independent shops/hospitality/mechanics etc.
- Comment on The Ofcom Tea Party: 4Chan Lawyer publishes Ofcom correspondence, British regulator claims “sovereign immunity” to defend itself – and sovereign powers to regulate foreign companies 5 weeks ago:
Probably not a lot.
And for the same reason I cant imagine the government would have any problems or issues blocking them altogether. Its not like there’d be an outpouring of support, I imagine you could ask any 10 people on the street if any of them know what 4chan is and you’d draw a blank. Maybe 1 in 20 will know its for dank memes.
- Comment on The Ofcom Tea Party: 4Chan Lawyer publishes Ofcom correspondence, British regulator claims “sovereign immunity” to defend itself – and sovereign powers to regulate foreign companies 5 weeks ago:
So are you saying the UK government doesn’t have the power to block 4chan in the UK?
Interesting.
- Comment on £6 million repaid to workers as Government cracks down on employers underpaying their staff 5 weeks ago:
The trouble with the likes of Uber etc is they claim that the people working for them are technically self employed and thus not entitled to NMW.
I know there was a court case a few years ago about the worker’s status but I’ve not really been familiar with the issues since I worked for HMRC
- Comment on Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week? 5 weeks ago:
Trying to decide whether or not to spend £60 on battlefield 6
- Comment on The most important person in Britain you’ve never heard of 1 month ago:
True, but still. Having someone named who coild so easily fall victim to some blackmail scheme is a problem waiting to happen
- Comment on The most important person in Britain you’ve never heard of 1 month ago:
I can’t help but think that publicising his name and role are literally the worst possible fucking thing someone could do.
Jesus wept, we may as well just tell the Russians where he lives and what car he drives
- Comment on Texas National Guard arriving in Chicago 1 month ago:
He even talked about fucking his own daughter if he had the chance
- Comment on Defence ministry spends millions on private schools to avoid Welsh 1 month ago:
A parent has a right to send a child to any legal school they want.
If a parent is forced by circumstance to live in a specific area then they shouldn’t be forced to send their child to a school they believe is unsuitable.
In this case, if it were me I’d consider forcing my child to spend X number of hours a week learning a language that is of absolutely no use to them an unacceptable waste of time.
- Comment on The UK can't see Imgur links right now, apparently. 1 month ago:
Can confirm. Cannot see anything
- Comment on Discord customer service data breach leaks user info and scanned photo IDs 1 month ago:
Having all your data leaked is a small price to pay to prevent kids accessing stuff their parents should be preventing them from accessing.
- Comment on Do you think The Boys is an accurate representation if real people had superpowers? 1 month ago:
The only thing stopping Homelander from going on a rampage, killing tens of thousands of people and seizing control of the world is that he cares what people think about him. He wants to be loved, not feared.
He kills innocent people but he does it discreetly or when it looks like he can justify his actions.
But can you imagine an absolute piece of shit like Stephen Miller getting super powers? He’d be far, far worse.

Love some nice baps
