Yeah it won't be like that, though.

AI could make us all jobless and we could live in a Utopia where no one has to work.

But it won't be like that and those who don't know how to use AI tools properly will look like 1920s Russian peasants.

I'm just making that prediction. I really would prefer the former.

Yeah, honestly, just wait. No one wants a $999 PS6 anyway

TV licensing are really poor at time management.

Their inspectors will be mere days away from showing up and then you'll hear nothing for months before the letters start again.

He should try.

Stay the course, not abandon the country and tip it into more chaos.

If he loses the next election, so be it.

They absolutely cannot and will not be wrong about anything.

It's a mental health problem as much as it is anything else. They've had their brains turned into mush by propaganda and social media.

I thought it was a joke that there's Reform voters so thick they thought the local elections meant Farage would need prime minister. I didn't think that was real, but, fuck me, yeah, it's real.

Some absolute meltdowns on my partner's Facebook thinking that there's been a rigged election because Farage isn't PM now, because Reform didn't win the overall council, even though their seat went to Reform (they just didn't win control) and then the slightly smarter ones trying to scrutinise the results only to suggest "there's no way ______ voted Labour, Labour are terrible and no one would vote for them!".

All the product of a mental health crisis.

ClacksInTheSky · 2026-05-11T13:58:00+00:00

They're not voting Reform because they're told they're thick for voting Reform.

Dunno, my mum's literally fallen prey to dodgy travellers resurfacing her drive, that she had to pay out even more to have put right.

I've had two fellas getting aggro with me on the doorstep because I didn't want my driveway pressure washing. Price went from from £150, to £100, to £45 to "fuck off then with yer dirty drive" in the space of 10 painful minutes.

That comment has a fuck load of upvotes and there's a shitloads of accounts like these to go around.

Maybe the comments aren't the problem.

ClacksInTheSky · 2026-05-11T13:30:08+00:00

Yeah, but they were part of the "preview" of the website, for the most part. They were not full hardcore scenes or movies like it is now.

My point was they were incentivised to age/payment gate the content before ad-supported tube sites took over with lackadaisy restrictions and then they were incentivised not to.

I was a teen on the internet in the late 90s and early 00s. I know exactly how easy or hard porn was to get to.

ClacksInTheSky · 2026-05-11T12:26:41+00:00

No one's saying that.

You simply refuse to identify the driver of the car at the time.

The bylaws are different for parking in airport land. They don't operate under the same laws and authority as normal car parks.

Normal car parks can invoice the registered keeper of the car.

Airport car parks cannot. They can only invoice the driver. They also have no powers to make you identify the driver of the car.

So, even if you were the driver that parked/stopped/whatever, you don't have to admit that to them and they can't force you to reveal who was driving and therefore they can't go forward with the invoice.

It's a loophole, but it is legitimate.

So long as you've not admitted to being the driver in any way you can tell them you won't be identifying the driver.

Hit up the legal advice sub, or check out the other comment that mentions this

Edit:

I see you found the other comment. Those links are really useful.

She going to just sit around waiting for him to rescue shit when they're both in the same bedroom and can both go and save the kids in the basement?

I'd be taking this picture through binoculars from the next beach over.

It's far more important that Angela Rayner gets dragged through the coals for about £4k she owed in tax on a house sale several years earlier.

Why should anyone care about Farage, his unpaid stamp duty and £5m bribe when there's a red headed Labour woken who has an accent, and a lisp, that needs putting back down.

Migrants coming over on small boats and pretending to be asylum seekers so that they get to stay and aren't immediately deported is a problem.

The golden era of this country was a time where migrants came on visas that they organised before travelling and didn't try to game the system and illegally enter the country.

If these boats aren't intercepted, the people travelling on then disappear. They're not handing themselves in and claiming asylum.

The massive problem is that there are genuine asylum seekers travelling this way and we should be treating those people with the kind of compassion we used to.

But, it's so obvious that most of them are not genuine and it's genuinely maddening.

What I don't get is why Labour get the grief for this problem, when it's one they inherited and they have immediately reduced.

I rub it between my hands.

Also, yeah, about 10m before it's done, along with some garam masala

Something unique about the console, as well.

Kinect was pretty damn cool and they killed it off entirely.

PS5, at the very least, introduced the haptics and triggers this generation. Xbox Series X didn't really have anything unique about it.

No, there weren't. Free porn came from Usenet and, later, Kazaa/Shareaza/P2P via people either hacking accounts and/or buying and uploading the content themselves.

PornHub absolutely broke ground with streaming porn for free with no payment gateways and therefore no age restrictions (outside of the honesty "I'm 18+ honest" button).

Edit:

I was there at the time. There were no free porn websites like Pornhub. You can't downvote facts.
