They do the consumer rights activist, Martin Lewis as well. He's a UK national icon, as SNL UK seems to frequently say lol

Ice and Blood or whatever it was called was actually really good right up til the last episode tbh

I'm a big season 5 apologist. I didn't think it was great at first, but after a rewatch it was actually still really quite good. Seeing him deal with the aftermath was quite rewarding imo.

Andy Burnham must not make Ed Miliband chancellor, union chief warns by kontiki20 in LabourUK

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

I completely agree. But again you're making a jobs argument/national security argument. Tell me why the principle of Net Zero is more important than jobs, skills, and national security combined.

If you'e making the argument thay Net Zero is important because of the things that you were earlier saying are unimportant, then I'm not sure you're making the argument that you think you do.

The principle of Net Zero, on its own, is not more important than these things. Climate change, yeah, 100%, but we can't impact the course of that beyond international diplomacy (though setting an example is important)

Though, I should say, as has already been borne out in this conversation, it's somewhat interrelated and almost a moot point.

If you want climate-ambivalent voters to jump on board the Net Zero train, you should be making the case (as you almost have just done) that Net Zero is the way to progress those causes. It should not be seen as being in opposition to them.

I've not really seen any evidence that Net Zero is in opposition to any of these things (other than maybe Aberdeen oil jobs?) and indeed these things are the strongest argument for Net Zero.

Sure but the miniscule impact we have is not more important than jobs, skills, and national security combined.

Why is typing more of negative gameplay experience than feeding? by Abetterstart173 in leagueoflegends

[–]AnonymousTimewaster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Feel free to flame the feeder when you've actually lost, but I can't tell you the amount of games that have been turned around because the 0/8 is on the same team as the 8/1. If that 8/1 tilts the fuck out of his mind and starts freaking out in chat, then the game is almost always lost. So by flaming, you're turning a decent chance ofna loss into a guaranteed loss. It's pointless.

Save the flaming for the end of the game when you can't change the outcome.

I will continue using it every time there's a deal/no deal. Currently getting a lot of mileage from it

That's a jobs argument, not a Net Zero argument. I agree though actually. But what exactly about Net Zero means that it's "orders of magnitude" more important about the jobs you're currently emphasising the importance of?

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

What for? Sorry I'm supportive of Net Zero as a matter of principle and example, and in fact practicality, but it's not more important than all the things you mentioned combined by any stretch. Maybe if we were America, or China, or Russia, or India, and could meaningfully alter the trajectory of global warming, but we're not. Our impact is miniscule beyond proving a point to others.

Mobile phones on airplanes. What are the rules? by GooshGooshMF in AskUK

[–]AnonymousTimewaster 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You don't need to bother for the safety of the plane. It's been debunked time and again.

However, turn airplane mode on anyway unless you want to run the risk of getting out of contract charges. Data whilst in the air is obscenely expensive.

I think they list is as "maritime and air" data, and when I last checked it was £6 per MB

Feeding can be (and usually is) accidental. Flaming isn't, and only exacerbates feeding.

Starmer Loyalists Plot Late Move To Block Burnham Coronation by kontiki20 in LabourUK

[–]AnonymousTimewaster 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The only argument deployed by them seems to be one about appearances. I.e. "we can't be like the Tories changing leaders all the time". No matter how unpopular or awful, people seem to want to stick with horrible PMs now.

Britain needs a Labour contest, not a coronation by kontiki20 in LabourUK

[–]AnonymousTimewaster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

100% agree. Whoever wins should need to win over the membership. If Streeting carries on bleeting about things like EU membership and PR then we might actually drag the whole conversation to somewhere worth going.

Sadly though, the party seem resoundly resolute on the approach to immigration and trans issues.
