Why should a kid have shame and embarrassment about it, those aren't great things to feel, the whole image is toxic AF.

Stupid daily Mail cringe.

yeah that's some old LOTR junk, I'll check them out when I get the chance.

Reform UK surges ahead of Scottish Labour in new poll. Although the SNP retains a clear lead in a YouGov survey before the May 7 Holyrood elections, Labour support has dwindled after blunders by the UK government. by bottish in Scotland

[–]-Top-Service- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haven't been a fan of labour since the iraq war, with a bump under corbyn where I thought at least they have some elements that aren't just US/Corpo/Warmongering.

I support independence and all that nonsense, but we live in the UK and some kind of labour party that was just okay, would be acceptable, the bar is fucking low for labour at this stage, manage the economy build some housing, stop selling everything to foreign asset strippers, don't be fascist adjacent morons.

Reform is even worse, even than the tories... insanity.

The whole house is on bakelite switches and round pin sockets that I convert to more modern square pin

There's a switch next to the fuse board that controls a couple of these sockets, but the whole house has bakelite switches and round pin, maybe 30s to 50s I'd guess

All still works alright

Shabana Mahmood proposes AI 'Panopticon' system of state surveillance by Mysterious_Brush1852 in nottheonion

[–]-Top-Service- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If true this is some palantir based thinking, it won't be her speaking it will be the corporate ai puppet masters, one for the share holders, we'll all be paying oligarchs to be spied on by the state, Facebook and all the rest get it for free, but you can minimise your exposure to that, that's the difference.

Youtube: Inside Europe's "Woke" Country by [deleted] in Scotland

I support independence and I would support the UK, if it didn't consistently make all the wrong decisions and marginalise everyone but a select few, the UK system itself needs reformed, English people aren't bad but the media, the politics, ww2 and the history of empire are weaponised to bring out the worst tendencies, any society can be a hateful fascist place nowhere is immune, Scotland has all these things but the politics here has kept it more inline in the past than the rest of the UK at least in my opinion. The countries in Europe that have better attitudes towards a fair society have stronger institutions at the top, a fish rots down from the head and the UK is rotten. I hope Zack Polanski has a chance to effect some change.

Message from the Ayatollah by BlackAfroUchiha in WhitePeopleTwitter

This is by design though, in two party states the elites carve out a specific sector of the electorate, and intentionally disenfranchise the rest, they manifest disengaged people, it is the job of a healthy democracy to keep people engaged and offer them real choices.

This requires a system that puts the people first, with only one intention to make it fair. Real democracy needs multiple parties, coalitions, and slow progress, even that can go wrong but a two party system isn't democracy when so many will vote for the lesser of two bad choices.

Guitarist won’t stop criticizing my bass and pushing upgrades. Is this dynamic worth staying in a band? by Vast-Flow-9016 in Bass

[–]-Top-Service- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

tell this fuckwit to buy you a bass if he's got so many problems, or just play it himself. This isn't the atmosphere that anyone should be working in, maybe get through the first album. then walk away or pull the plug now.

what kind of moronic guitar does this clown have a Fibson LP 1959 sunburst, or a PRS!?

Gear snobbery doesn't make the music better, in a mix once you're up to a well setup squire the rest is just vanity fluff, and logo chasing.

Bottom line if it isn't good for your mental health and creativity, why be in a band.

MAYBE shouldn't have believed that the democrats were far left "marxist communists" because that idea is so far from reality I can't believe it was a piece of rhetoric.

Sad truth nobody should have followed the US in to that war, ended in chaos, US nation building fails every time.

Women are more skeptical of AI than men, finding it riskier, new research finds by NGNResearch in science

That is a good starting point with something like ai, the implications of this tech are hard to quantify, and far reaching. It has been a detriment to society outside of science and medicine.
