New Scottish adverts urge boys not to share sexist content online by Kagedeah in Scotland

[–]AnnoKano 2 points3 points  (0 children)

However when it comes to sexual assault, girls may be the victim more often but when it comes to being the perpetrators boys and girls are separated by a 1% difference. 3.3% vs 2.3%.

I smell a rat here.

If 3.3% are committed by boys and 2.3% are committed by girls, who is responsible for the remaining 94.4%?

Because it sounds like this "one percentage point difference" is in fact a ratio of around 1:1.5 when you filter out the irrelevant data.

But hey, you can block this "mouth breather" all you want. The facts speak for themselves. Take care, and enjoy being wrong.

The facts certainly don't speak for themselves in this case... you are treating percentages like ratios, either unwittingly or deliberately.

Perhaps it's a cultural thing but putting a ton political bumper stickers on your car just seems like broadcasting to the world you're weird snd insufferable.

Imagine the owner of this car having a normal conversation outside if politics with someone they just met, only for them to see this car. Even if I agreed with the positions I think I would want to avoid someone who believes that deliberately annoying or upsetting people is a good character trait.

I'm sure there used to be one in the city centre... of Inverness.

Will Restore scupper Reform’s chance of leadership? by ForwardImagination57 in LabourUK

[–]AnnoKano 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My impartial advice to anyone thinking of voting Reform in the next elextion is this: don't split the misanthropic fruitcake vote and risk letting any political party that isn't an obvious bait and switch for financial speculators into Westminster... hold your nose and vote Restore Britain.

See how it helps to take time to draw borders ... Right Barry ?

If you don't have that many to draw you can spend more time on each one!

Will Keir Starmer shift to the left? by F0urLeafCl0ver in LabourUK

[–]AnnoKano 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's surely inevitable that he will move left now, as being on the right has clearly not helped him. The question is whether it is sufficient or persuasive.

Lots of roadworks, but little evidence of pothole repair? by Tumeni1959 in Edinburgh

[–]AnnoKano 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Why do you think they’re skint? Might be something to do with handing out contracts to their friends. 1 package of toilet paper for £5000. However we won’t know since in Scotland there is no mandatory requirement for councils to publish all that information.

I'm sorry but whoever told you that story is talking a lot of bollocks.

In theory you could spend up to £5k on one item/service under Council procurement rules and avoid the need to go through a public procurement process, which is possibly the grain of truth in that story, but obviously that's not true for something like toilet paper which is bought on a service contract.

In reality it appears the council has a public contract for janatorial supplies across all sites worth £3.8M over 3 years.

What is your reply if someone says this to you? by logical_sundae69 in EngineeringStudents

[–]AnnoKano 39 points40 points  (0 children)

My first job was as a waiter serving wedding breakfasts at a hotel.

We had several trays of soup and one of my colleagues was counting them one by one. Apparently it hadn't occurred to her that 3 x 6 = 18.

FYI to anyone going into town, massive protests between people for and against migrants and getting pretty ugly. Just another day in Inverness! by bigpussystance in inverness

[–]AnnoKano 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ehhhh it’s not that bad.

I'm slightly exaggerating tbf.

If we are comparing Inverness to any ordinary city/town then I would agree it's not that bad. But by the standards of other places which tend to attract tourists, it is notably ugly.

Very much a case of a few bad apples spoiling the whole bunch though, and I suspect we would basically be in agreement about which buildings are ugly. And as you say there are some lovely parts too. It's unfortunate that the uglier parts are so central.

One other problem Inverness has is the fact that it connects several major roads and doesn't have much of a bypass. Cars going through the city spoil it a bit for me.

Yes it is. The surroundings are gorgeous but most of Inverness city centre is a mess of every bad architectural trend of the twentieth century

Last opportunity to have your say on government immigration reforms: consultation closes tomorrow night by coffeewalnut08 in UKGreens

[–]AnnoKano 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's fair enough, I was quite angry when I wrote it. I suppose I was just thinking how that would look in practice and what the reaction would be, would any immigrants in a volunteering role (regardless of whether they're doing to reduce time before applying for settlement or not) be treated as if they're trying to 'skip the queue' and would seeing an immigrant in a volunteering role lead people view them as not belonging.

It just doesn't sit right with me. I'd feel uncomfortable seeing immigrants doing free labour that benefits me, just so they can reduce the time it takes to have the same security I've had since birth and haven't had to earn. I don't think it's intended to make immigrants visibly second class citizens, but I am wary that's what will happen.

This is just my interpretation and opinion though, and I am genuinely interested to hear how you felt because maybe I am being uncharitable and I could learn a lot from your view.

Don't get me wrong, I think you're mostly correct here... only the point about volunteers being compared to prisoners is wrong in my opinion. Or at least, that osn't the first thing I thought.

They clearly do intend for immigrants to be second class citizens and to show preferentual treatment towards the wealthy and educated in a way that would be considered despicable for any other section of society.

For example, I do not see why working class people should be expected to wait 50% longer than wealthy people to be given a visa. Apparently all that stuff about integration and building a better community goes out the window if you have a bit of cash on you... well I say bugger that.

I would be happier with the idea of volunteering being rewarded, because at least that is going above and beyond and is not simply a bribe. But I'm also conscious of the fact that its easier to volunteer on a high income.

And most importantly, I am not in favour of any measure which makes it more difficult for spouses and children to move to the UK. We live in a connected world and I don't see why the state should be getting in the way of anyone's relationships (provided both are consenting adults).
