This is fucking hilarious, best news I’ve heard in forever.

I’m always annoyed when people say “You should just get therapy”, because of how completely inaccessible it is to those of us not wealthy enough to be in the upper middle class, which is most of us these days.

They’re basically saying “Your problems are fixable but only if you’ve got thousands of pounds to throw away on a therapist, if you’re a normal working class person you’re fecked”.

You might as well be saying “Homeless? Just buy a house duuh”.

I know you yourself mean well (and you do use the “practical” caveat which is appreciated), I don’t mean to sound overly harsh, it’s just this comes up a lot and as someone suffering greatly from mental illness destroying my life that I can’t afford to get treatment for it’s very depressing :-(

Is IPFS something your family and friends check on regularly? I don’t even know what it is.

Considering your reluctance to give any information about your assertion that such a project using it becomes useless, I’m not sure you know what it is either :P

I’ve met plenty of Tories and their ilk, but none of them would vote for someone they publicly think is basically Hitler.

This bloke’s thought processes are so alien to us they I don’t think we’ll ever understand him, sadly.

Probably the Tories

How is it gonna nag me to upgrade to Windows 11 when I don’t have a TPM?

I’d love to upgrade, the system is completely capable of running it, but because it doesn’t have a useless bit of hardware I can’t. Fuck em.

I still don’t know who it is, but I’d imagine it’s an American bloke, probably famous for something recently over there.

You’re all on some kind of… Star Trek?

Huh weird, the only reason to use Premium is to cut out the adverts.

“Would you like to buy Premium?” “Ooh, what do I get?” “YOU GET NOTHING! GOOD DAY SIR!”

PG Tips :-D

I know everyone goes on about Yorkshire Tea and sure I like it too, but I’ve been drinking PG Tips several times a day for my entire life, and I love it.

Proper tea that keeps England going!

What’s the little elephant star logo from?

Many many things, but one I’ve not seen touched on much is how LONG the lead up is.

Here, quite often they announce an election and then a few weeks later we have the election.

It doesn’t really make any sense to drag it out, that’s more than enough time to learn about the candidates, the current state of the various parties and their manifestos, and time for debates and discussions and such before polling day.

The idea that an election run up can go on for months and months and months feels silly/wasteful.

The difference I suspect is in the ease of which we have access to local polling stations within walking distance of our homes, and how short the queues are, if there are queues at all.

In the US these problems can be magnified, especially if everybody is trying to pile in to the stations (or just reach them) within the one hour they have before their 12 hour shift, etc.

What if I told you to take a good long look at the entire republican party, and ask you to give me a single compelling arguement that these people are actually people?

I thought they were the ones dehumanising their opponents?

People don’t need to provide a compelling argument that they’re people, even if you don’t like them.

Good thing the “Feds” have zero jurisdiction in my country then. Feck em.

I’m guessing this is a repost bot or such?

I say mould because I’m English and that’s just how it’s spelled here (we also pronounce it with a U, pronouncing it without the U as mold would be…strange).

Not an overly exciting response I know, but there you go :P

What’s with the Half Life guy coming out of a urinal o.O

Ah yes, technology videos are really bad. Especially that Technology Connections guy, he’s the absolute worst.

And don’t even get me started on technology video reviews, tutorials, guides, educational materials and tech news. I only consume technology information in newspaper form. This new video thing just won’t catch on.
