- Comment on HMRC criticised by watchdog for failing to track billionaires’ tax 1 day ago:
I stopped freelancing alongside working a full-time job because the one year I did pull in a nice payment for a frankly miserable project, they wanted 50% of it and then the other 50% as “payments on account” because their system assumed I was going to do that well again next year.
It was the first time I’d earned a decent amount in about five years of freelancing, and the stress of seeing those demands was just too much for me.
I was freelancing alongside a 40+ hour a week job to get out of debt, but I’ve jacked the whole thing in because it feels so gross.
Glad those billionaires aren’t being chased or hounded though. Those guys have it tough enough already, what with the uh… Oh, you know… sometimes the maid doesn’t do their pillow exactly how they want!
- Comment on Two men behind ‘senseless’ felling of Sycamore Gap tree jailed for more than four years 1 day ago:
Oh right, I read your comment as sarcastic but it seems like we’re saying the exact same thing.
- Comment on Two men behind ‘senseless’ felling of Sycamore Gap tree jailed for more than four years 1 day ago:
That’s fair. I understand the frustration and anger at these two and what they did - it was senseless and I was definitely a bit heartbroken to read about the felling at first - but four years is so long and they’re going to come out worse for it, in my opinion.
- Comment on Two men behind ‘senseless’ felling of Sycamore Gap tree jailed for more than four years 1 day ago:
“this kind of treatment” meaning harsh sentences. Fining a company means very little 🤷♂️
- Comment on Two men behind ‘senseless’ felling of Sycamore Gap tree jailed for more than four years 2 days ago:
Very, very, very harsh. Too harsh.
Would love to see just a single one of the besuited cunts who are polluting our rivers and air get this kind of treatment by their mates in the courts. Never gonna happen tho - this has been a rich man’s world for centuries.
- Comment on Tim Davie insists he is still right person to lead BBC after series of scandals 2 days ago:
The condemnation towards him as of late is because of the BBC airing material more sympathetic to Gaza or critical of the genocide Israel is perpetrating, including that Bob Vylan performance.
To me, that’s criticism not worth listening to. Those are good decisions.
However, it is weird to want to run a well known nonce factory.

If you don’t want to answer, just don’t answer lol
- Comment on Without the precursor of Spirituality and Religion, there can be no morality. 1 week ago:
I honestly still just feel like we’re agreeing on the order of things here though. Premoral behaviours develop naturally, become ingrained, and then get written into religions or spirituality to give them even more weight – sort of like how a lot of myths about evil water spirits supposedly being warnings to children to not play near water cos they’ll drown.
I don’t think we’re disagreeing here, right?

- Comment on Without the precursor of Spirituality and Religion, there can be no morality. 1 week ago:
Thanks for the response :) it’s an interesting question you’ve raised, and I haven’t looked into it enough really.
I think I’ve keyed into your phrasing, particularly “precursor”, in my answer. If “premoral behaviour” is a step in developing morality, does that make it a precursor?
What happens between premoral behaviour and morality that develops it? I would have assumed that reward/punishment behaviours between humans socially based on those “premoral” behaviours I described would have led to more nuanced moral systems that would have then been written into religious and spiritual practices.
What do you think happens between premorality and morality? What role does spirituality or religion play – does a higher power give us our morals?
- Comment on Without the precursor of Spirituality and Religion, there can be no morality. 1 week ago:
It doesn’t serve us well to murder our own communities. It doesn’t serve us well to cause conflict and strife among ourselves when external circumstances are tough enough. Living on the steppe or on the savannah would have been extremely tough, and pragmatism would have naturally lead to a sort of morality – don’t steal from, harm, kill, antagonise other people in your group or you’re putting the entire group at risk.
It doesn’t have to be spiritual or religious!

- Comment on Rumor: Telltale Games Working With Influencers For The Wolf Among Us 2 Marketing Campaign 1 week ago:
Sorry, yes, I totally focused on the wrong thing here. I never played Wolf Among Us, but I remember when I was younger being really excited for a play through of it – a very cool setting, and I love the art style and I agree I definitely felt the first Wolf Among Us was among the stronger Telltale projects.
- Comment on Everybody talks about beliefs like they're this big important thing. 1 week ago:
In my view, beliefs are important. To me, a person is built from their beliefs.
Beliefs are mutable and can change for all sorts of reasons, at all sorts of speeds, and in all sorts of ways. They’re not permanent, but I do think they’re fundamental to people.

Are people still falling for influencers?

- Comment on Tough new driving rules could land Brits with a ban for ‘minor’ mistakes 2 weeks ago:
I see so many drivers tinkering with their phones while they drive. It’s unnerving as a pedestrian to see people in 4x4s with one hand on the wheel and one hand holding their phone which they’re concentrating on while they drive forwards.

- Comment on Mario Kart World Faces Massive Backlash After Update, Online Racing Experience Ruined 2 weeks ago:
Now, the fans has taken over on Metacritic by starting a review bomb, the user score of Mario Kart World has dropped from 8.3 to 7.7 in just a few days and that is definitely big. We can see tons of negative reviews, and it truly looks like the players aren’t happy at all.
The message is clear, the new update has ruined the entire online gaming experience. We saw many reviews using the word “ruined” which clearly shows how upset these fans are.
Is it possible that this is ESL instead of LLM? Or maybe a mix of both? I’m getting way more ESL vibes from the first paragraph, but the generally meandering nature of the piece does point to an LLM too.

I don’t think OP is talking about mainstream music. I think OP is talking about mainstream music streaming services (i.e. Spotify)
