I don't think it's even about being in anyones pocket. They want the publicity. And unless they are all forced to stop using it, everyone has to use it.

Agreed it's 100% not an education/money/class thing. I moved into a larger office, high tech company, and the number of times people need to be told not to leave the toilet in a state or to take their rubbish out of meeting r

I very rarely see separating walls in the UK. Are they common in your country?

It was valuable for me. I've been waiting for Asahi on M3 and quickly wanted to know what the 'caveat' was. Saved me some time.

Because it's a lazy response. OP might not be a software developer. Should they learn complex software engineering to try and contribute or should they call out a missing feature that's important to them so the actual developers h

I think speed is going to be important for a second reason - ever since I've started using LLM's a lot in my work I enjoy it much less. The main reason is that I ask the LLM something and have to wait because I know it's goin

I find it really interesting that online sports betting, which has been a thing in my country for 15+ years and largely a non-issue, is suddenly a total shitshow once it gets legalised in the US. I feel like the US always takes things too f

If you vote for a man that thinks he can "grab women by the pussy" because he's famous, and then you vote for him AGAIN, you should be held accountable for everything he does. It's patently obvious he's an absolutel

>> People in the UK voted for Brexit because "well it can't be worse, can it?" They were suckers. I don't think that's true it all. They were promised that it would be better and sold pretty obvious lies. Same

The country is demonstrably worse because of their 'views and opinions' and many of them don't need to worry about it - because they're dead. Fuck them.

Re-read the sentence. It wasn't referring to an entire generation.

>> As for 16 years old voting, I'd argue the age to vote should be raised to 21. Why? Brexit will impact 16 year olds for decades. A large number of the old farts who voted for it are dead now and won't have to suffer the co

Look at the UK for a much better system. It's got problems too but there's no concept of stacking the court in your favour because you were lucky enough someone died while you were in power.

by basisword 2mo ago
When you can't trust your highest court is impartial the whole system is untrustworthy. Unfortunately the US system is designed in such a way that the highest court can't be trusted (life terms, appointed by the sitting president)

"You need to do well in your exams because they're important for your future" is not 'scarring' kids.

Just did the same for the 'severe' alerts (you can do it in the iPhone notification settings). I thought I might be overreacting but after reading a few threads 90% of people's first thought was "nuclear attack". Us

Other than test alerts I think this is the first time this has been used in the UK. It's a great example of how not to use systems like these. Nuclear attack? Earthquake? Floods? Nope - don't use disposable BBQ's as they coul
