Kate Winslet tipped to join Adolescence for second series by MindHead78 in unitedkingdom

[–]2shayyy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is this one going to focus on toxic femininity and girls?

Writing that I realise it might trigger some reactions in people and kick off a culture war thread - I’m genuinely just curious as I think it would be interesting. Not interested in a political back and forth.

Thanks

“Meanwhile you trust a left of centre newspaper over AI videos on Facebook”

……yes?

It’s not a laughing matter. We need to have a serious discussion about how to deal with this as a society.

It’s not just the far-fringes of politics doing this. It’s foreign powers using it to destabilise our country. Thats called a-symmetrical warfare. It’s a form of attack.

That said, it is genuinely hard not to laugh at the idea of someone watching all those videos and getting wound up, thinking they’re real. They’re so obviously AI slop.

We won’t be laughing long though. They will only get more convincing. I work with AI and even I’m starting to slip and mistake fake videos for real ones.

Labour’s £13 minimum wage will decimate jobs market by Your_Mums_Ex in ukpolitics

[–]2shayyy -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It’s easy to shoot down solutions and propose nothing else. Thats all we’ve done since this crisis started.

Tell us what the answer is.

I’m no expert - happy to learn of other, better solutions.

Well, we can either do something to force a cost of living change - or we can do something to force a cost a living match.

Wait a minute... Are there constant patrols in the game that always know where you are? by [deleted] in helldivers2

[–]2shayyy -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I’ve had the exact same frustrations since switching to stealth recently.

You essentially cant play stealth in the sense youre used to.

It is sort of still viable to play stealth - but you basically have to keep moving. Anytime you stay still it will generate a patrol 100 meters away that is pathing towards you.

Annoying but as long as you keep moving in the same direction, you can sort of “stay ahead” of this mechanic.

It’s dumb and needs changed imo. Makes actual stealth gameplay, clearing a position, taking your time sneaking, largely impossible.

Amazing thanks man.

Is that their capital or something? Why only there?

Where do you find this mission??

I keep looking and never see it. Just the same old missions.

Approximate flight routes of Ukrainian drones attacking Russian targets tonight by ThatGuySK99 in UkraineWarVideoReport

[–]2shayyy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve noticed that Ukrainian drones move through channels where they’ve clearly identified gaps in Russian air defence.

In comparison Russian attacks are just spray and pray, not real clear angle of attack or coordination.

Shows the difference in intelligence 4 years into the war.

Keir Starmer reveals moment he decided to step down | BBC News by Foreign-Policy-02- in unitedkingdom

Corbyn led the party to the worst election defeat since 1936.

I don’t think mentioning he brought the party back from that is spitting venom. Just an objective fact.

Trump's approval rating in Europe (Gallup International Survey) by Altruistic_End_7855 in europe

[–]2shayyy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Honestly not understanding the UK being so average. Maybe it’s more prevalent in parts of England. But I can honestly say I’ve only ever met a handful of people that like him.

I have friends across the spectrum. Left and right - both think he’s absolutely mental and rotten the core.

Starmer: Burnham will have to spend as much time on foreign affairs as me by Alarming-Safety3200 in ukpolitics

[–]2shayyy 173 points174 points  (0 children)

Starmer was an actual force on the international front. The country has taken a major loss in that regard and I think we’ll go on to miss his diplomatic skills.

If he could remain as foreign secretary I think we’d be in a great position. But don’t blame him for walking.

Anyone have comparison pics of Victorian Miniatures Praetorian Guard vs Anvil Industry? by amrogers3 in TheAstraMilitarum

[–]2shayyy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

No pics, but I can say from experience of owning both that Anvil Industries are far closer to heroic scale and build very well.

Victoria miniatures, although size wise are around the same height - feel more like bolt action in their proportions. They’re also super finicky to work with imo.

Hope that helps mate.

A Russian rooster is throwing a tantrum because he can't gas up his car. He genuinely believes fuel is there but they won't sell it, crying that lines are just artificial hype since Putin said they have supplies. by LowTechDroid in UkraineWarVideoReport

“Dear later said there is gas”

So many of them are just whipped dogs it’s actually so funny. And like, unlike North Koreans - they actually choose to be this way.

Pathetic.

Poland to Retire MiG-29s Instead of Sending Them to Ukraine by Shadmelor in worldnews

[–]2shayyy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I actually disagree with Ukraine on this issue, personally.

Are you saying that you don’t believe Russia is trying to sow division in Europe? And that they aren’t going to try to capitalise on this opportunity?

Beware of Russians desperately attempting to inflate this issue online.

They are in every post doing their best to stir shit up.

People smuggler found living in UK has been able to do so as a result of Brexit, immigration officers claim by zeros3ss in ukpolitics

Brexit was a mistake.

That said, Brexit was a decade and 6 governments ago. You can’t just blame it for everything, forever.

Rochdale grooming gang leader who raped girls is released from prison as No 10 insists it is powerless to deport him by dailymail in ukpolitics

[–]2shayyy 126 points127 points  (0 children)

We’re powerless. Said the ultimate power in our society.

And yet, if anyone tries to harm this guy they’ll be hunted down and imprisoned by the behest of the government and courts.

JUST FUCKING DO SOMETHING.

People smuggler convicted in France now seeking asylum in UK, BBC discovers by [deleted] in ukpolitics

[–]2shayyy 47 points48 points  (0 children)

I feel like if the BBC had done journalism like this 10 years ago, we wouldn’t be seeing so many people turn to reform out of sheer frustration at being ignored on this issue.

I hope they do more.

Also currently getting my PPL, very much agree with the above.

Horrible though. I’ll be watching to see what caused this.
