- Comment on UK must 'actively prepare' for potential of war in the 'homeland', review warns 4 hours ago:
Russia’s military is crippled and they’d have to get through NATO. China likewise would have to get through NATO and I doubt they would have much of an interest in attacking the UK. However, the USA, if Trump woke up on the wrong side of the bed one morning, probably could. If anything, the USA might be the biggest threat.

What possibility? I think the biggest threat is probably in Northern Ireland which isn’t even that big of a threat anymore as it was 30+ years ago

Depends how well encrypted your computer is. Your phone is probably fine, those are usually encrypted to hell by default.

I’m a die hard Ulster Unionist, but even then I find it hilarious how these lads from West Belfast are pissing everyone off. Lol.
- Comment on Why is the progress pride flag so poorly designed (especially the intersex progress pride flag)? Will it be redesigned? 3 days ago:
Also very america-centric. Different races are oppressed in different places.

I believe the progress one is less open than the classic six striped

Organic developments of virtue signalling by corpos, I found.
I think you can display two flags- the normal generic pride one and then whatever subgroup you identify with (trans, lesbian, non binary, etc)
- Comment on Why is the progress pride flag so poorly designed (especially the intersex progress pride flag)? Will it be redesigned? 4 days ago:
It was poorly designed ever since they added the chevrons. The six colour pride flag was already pushing it with having six colours, but it pulled it off well and made it work. But anything else just screws it up.
Personally, I think adding intersex, transgender, black people(???) makes it seem as if they WEREN’T included in the original. I was always under the impression that the 🏳️🌈 flag included the whole LGBTQ+ groupings

- Comment on What do you think the solution to selling progressive politics to young men is ? 6 days ago:
Exactly. Men want to feel important as well. I think taking away masculinity has led us to this dangerous place.

Real men wear cat ears, maid dresses, and share their gf with other men
- Comment on What do you think the solution to selling progressive politics to young men is ? 6 days ago:
Be nice and respectful to them and masculinity. Like “It’s masculine to protect the oppressed”
Don’t belittle anyone for that matter, such as based on race, gender or religions, even if you’re upset at that grouping.

Singapore time 😈
- Comment on Threads is adding fediverse content to your social feeds 1 week ago:
The most they can do is add a load of more users to the fediverse then take them away again. For them to successfully EEE the fediverse, it would require convincing existing fediverse users to switch to threads. I cannot see that happening on here on any noticeable scale.
If anything, Bluesky is the bigger threat as it touts itself as “decentralised” in order to gain users who would have otherwise gone to Mastodon, then easily pull the plug.
- Comment on British woman laments Brexit rules that would stop her Italian husband moving to UK 1 week ago:
It’s completely vile.
- Comment on British woman laments Brexit rules that would stop her Italian husband moving to UK 1 week ago:
Not just working, but earning at least 29,000.
I believe the rule can be combined with the spouse’s income, but the spouse needs the visa to get a job in the first place to meet the requirement.
- Comment on British woman laments Brexit rules that would stop her Italian husband moving to UK 1 week ago:
Oh okay
- Comment on British woman laments Brexit rules that would stop her Italian husband moving to UK 1 week ago:
What?
- Comment on British woman laments Brexit rules that would stop her Italian husband moving to UK 1 week ago:
Having a salary requirement on a spouse visa is extremely extremely idiotic, stupid, disgusting and an abuse of human rights, specifically article 8. Apparently even Japan is less strict for foreign spouses- and that country is notoriously difficult to migrate to.

Lol
- Comment on Web 3.0 is basically a webring 1 week ago:
What even is Web 3.0? I hear it thrown about a lot and something about blockchain which is good for storing cryptocurrencies and nfts and not much else. Maybe a blockchain could be used to decentralise DNS? Or maybe not. Don’t even know if we’d explicitly need that (although having a more tangible ownership of domain names would be cool)
How do you store and update an HTML page on a Blockchain? And if you could, why? Would it even be efficient causing everyone to update a ledger when you fix a typo?
It sounds like the type of thing made up by LinkedIn lunatics who have no idea what they’re talking about
- Comment on I wonder how the owner of the dog in the Dodge meme feels about someone using their dead dog as a shody government initiative 1 week ago:
It was made by two software engineers as a joke parodying cryptocurrencies in 2013. One of them called musk a self-absorbed grifter.
