The Tories were notably not a EU maximalist party and the only reason they added support for an in-out referendum was due to pressure from the side of the party who wanted "out". The Tories are in fact not the same party as the Li

The whole point of the Lib Dems supporting an in-out referendum was that in the event they were actually elected to power and therefore able to enact their platform, the UK would be in a state where they would obviously support "in&quo

I vouched this dead submission and voted yes as a support of the status quo, because you can trivially put "Elon" into search bar and find that they aren't a shortage of Elon political submissions. Look, my highest rated comm

My dad and I both bought a 4a (5G) at the same time, ours both died within a week of each other. With mine at least I know the issue was that it just stopped charging entirely, no cable plugged in would fix it. Unfortunately, the 5G variati

I guess it's been over a year since the reddit blackouts, we were due for more ludicrous drama and laughably inflated moderator egos. I wouldn't be surprised to see similar posts in other subreddits, at least until Reddit swoops i

Previously she was elected by a coalition of the center-left, center, and center-right. Due to major losses by the center, she made concessions to get the greens on board as well, which is why the vote count is up. It's part of a broad

I definitely feel a bit drained about my job lately, but then last night I was looking through my linkedin connections and basically everyone who left in the last 6+ months doesn't have a new job title, at least not one they care to sh

We have this nonsense in Washington too, I made an effort last time I went to pick up takeout to bring one of my reusable bags with me to avoid the 8 cent bag fee, they had already bagged my order in a new one, the restaurant was like &quot

Funny to see this now. A couple days ago I was on vacation in San Diego and visited the San Diego Model Railroad Museum in Balboa Park and a lot of the traffic flowing through my head about it are all points addressed in the above article:

I'm in this situation with my car right now, I have the money to pay it off but why bother when I can make the monthly payment with savings account interest.

This is where I'm at. I want very little more than to than to buy some permanent property that I can remodel to my taste at my leisure, but mortgage rates just keep going up. Why spend 3.6k+ a month on mortgage when I can spend 2.1k a

I'm generally pretty pro "pay for the service you're using", but, I just can't bring myself to pay for youtube. It's so...creepy. I'll be in a small Twitch chat talking about donuts or something, I go over

Ha, one of the Seattle ones shut down is the former Dollar Tree on the Ave in the U District. They started a big remodel of the building right around when I left in 2017, thing barely lasted 4 years apparently.

Not for nothing, Postwoman has existed for years, but a couple years ago they renamed to Hoppscotch. Might want to choose a different name because I definitely thought you were them changing their name back, and I'm sure others will as

I bought a 6800XT because I was due for an upgrade anyways (I've come a long way since playing Skyrim 20 FPS low on intel integrated graphics laptop) and it came with the game. I'm playing it on 1080p high everything. Realizing th

As a frequent pedestrian, I can't square this thought at all. If the right has a red that means the crosswalk directly in front of the car has a green. I've never had issues walking perpendicular to traffic because almost no one t

Personal opinion, I have negative interest in a platform whose name implies that I'm going there to get into a stupid internet fight with someone. Don't get me wrong, I'm willing to have internet fights on occasion, but in my

Ludicrous circus. If the Canadian government thinks social media should pay for journalism, they could just raise tax revenue from social media and spend the proceeds on journalism. Instead they create this mechanism which basically lets th

I don't really identify with this article, mostly b/c it's talking about material goods, whereas the most I do with my friends lifestyle wise is play video games and go out to eat. But speaking as one of the wealthier friends

Everyone left on reddit after 2016 are by definition people who viewed Spez stealth editing comments of users he didn't like as "not a good enough reason to leave" (with some new users who had no idea that happened). Hopefull

Yeah I clicked this thinking it was a poorly made intentionally meta humour site...and I still have no idea whether it is or not because I can't interact with the rest of it because WebGL, at least on my computer, is the most annoying

Yeah, the article is comparing the blackout, which started on a Monday, to the traffic a previous day, a Sunday. I don't have any deep insight into social media traffic, but 6.6% Day to Day with no other context of what a normal usage

Interesting, I do my shopping out of the Bothell QFC so that's my frame of reference. It must be a more Seattle proper thing. I guess Bothell is also nominally a college town so maybe it's just students looking for cheap, bad beer

I gotta think this says more about the types of grocery stores you go to more than anything. I live just outside of Seattle and any random Safeway or QFC (Kroger) is going to have all the generic big corpo American light beers in it. Someth

I rotated the credentials on things I care about like the masterpass, banking, stocks, etc, but I couldn't be bothered on like, Jersey Mikes. If they steal my upcoming free mini turkey club, then congratulations tbh.
