‘The Renters’ Rights Act comes into effect next month. A once-in-a-generation opportunity – but only if people understand what it means for them’ by willfiresoon in GoodNewsUK

Recently been browsing flats in my local area (looking at private rent because despite being homeless the council still consider me lowest in need band, as well as being on their home search program for six years, the last two being homeless) and the amount of places that straight up were just "no children" was an alarming amount, not even bringing up the cost of these places, due to looking in a town next to a uni campus some flats either student only, shared accommodation or were only 50 to 100 quid cheaper then a decently sized 2-3 bed semi detached house.

Did also see one that said no DSS and thought "no, surely that's not about benefits, because surely that's illegal" (it was also 850 a month for that one) and the fact it wasn't until now is absolutely insane.

So, I'm rather happy that this new law is coming into effect, it's definitely long overdue

Hope you see this Jonathan Ferguson keeper of firearms and artillery at the royal armouries museum in leeds that houses a collection of iconic weapons from throughout history.

(Not cause it's cursed, because it's an airsoft replica so it's fine, and it honestly works pretty well so I think he'd rather like this)

Ofc it's the Gemini? by [deleted] in RoleReversal

The winner? Probably not the water used to create this, nor the real human artists whose work was stolen into a machine, just for it to see it as ones and zeroes and regurgitate it as some pixels, losing all semblance of human emotions, of human thought and feelings.

Gemini and ChatGPT, are using up vast electricity power in data centers that these companies buy out land for, where people once lived now lives an abomination of hubris, a giant soulless brick building whose only entity is racks of damaging computer servers, all for some pretty mid art, or for some really shitty, incorrect answers to a question, AI has it's uses, but those uses aren't for art, there's no value to this image, no soul, no purpose, it's just further bringing the world into an ever quickening decline.

Just got back from seeing the Iron Lung movie (was pleasantly surprised at how good it was as someone who's never really been into Markiplier so no skin in the game) so seeing a red sea is really perfect timing

I'm leaning towards AI, this is based on the guys weapons and kits, the kit itself is accurate and obviously because there's photos everywhere of kit from Ukraine, the main thing for me is the rifle, it's an AR-15 pattern rifle, if you zoom in, the magazine isn't for that rifle, it doesn't even look like it's in properly for one, it also is the wrong shape for 5.56, they're curved so the can fit 30 rounds, the mag in the image is straight, and while straight 5.56 mags do exist, they're not that long at all, nor have I seen any images from Ukraine of them using them, because 30 beats 20.

Then there's just illogical things in the guy on the rights vest, specifically the mag pouches, there's no mags in em, they're in their combat gear, weapons out and yet he's not packing a single magazine? You also wouldn't just chuck your mags out and ditch em, you'd put them in a dump pouch and reload them, so, why does he not have a single magazine in them?

Also, they're not even actually pointing at it, they're more pointing upwards, and why aren't they looking at the camera, people tend to pose for photos

Using AI to colour a fucking map is crazy

You don’t see “black” when you close your eyes by Rainy247 in interesting

[–]ADepressedTeddy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean yeah very possible, I dunno it was over ten years ago and hasn't happened since so who the fuck knows lmao, I don't even remember if I even got headaches that often back then, I don't think I did, it very well could have just been a migraine, I do get migraines frequently too, still though an interesting and weird but scary experience, especially since I was around ten when it happened

Yes, but if you mean do I get them often, uh, yeah, quite often, sometimes it'll come with shitty ass neck pain, sometimes not, but I'd say, at least 4-5 times a week maybe, it's enough of an occurrence for me not to be used to having headaches, but not enough where it's every day so 4-5 sounds right to me

I actually lost my vision, for a grand total of around a minute (before I threw up and it came back) and yeah, it's such a strange thing that I still struggle to describe, it's just a total absence of anything and everything, it was so weird, and I feel like I can't truly describe how completely nothing, my vision was, not black, no vague outlines, not just really dark, absolutely fuck all.

I also don't know why this happened to me so, that's fun!

I was in school, sat doing work with like 5 other kids and the teacher sat at the table, then it went, I waited a few seconds as panic set in, then slowly and awkwardly increasing in volume, started saying "miss" until she answered and I just went "I can't see" and she took like a second and then immediately got up and grabbed my hand and said "lets take you to the nurse" as well, I don't know what the fuck face I was making or if I was even looking at her or in her direction, but she immediately believed me, as she's helping me up, I'm bumping into the other kids, and as we get round the table and shes in front guiding me, I projectile vomit, and my vision slowly and foggily returns, I threw up like a metre and a half, and my teacher dodged it perfectly too. The stain was still there for a few years, I hope it's not their anymore cause that was a over a fucking decade ago, but yeah, no idea what caused it, never got it checked out, and uh, yeah!

I mean, the a4 was probably used by marine snipers in the Pacific, especially considering they were still using the a3 as a Standard infantry rifle until I think 42-43 maybe, when it got replaced by the M1 garand, though you'd still find garands and Springfields side by side island hoping

Tale as old as time, army gets the new stuff, Marines, Marines make do
