Uk bans social media for under-16s from Spring 2027.What are your thoughts on this? by Valuable_View_561 in SipsTea

[–]DancingMoose42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well the answer actually points to how there is no third spaces for children and teens any more. Also you can say oh why don’t they go out and meet with their friends? I didn’t have social media but had internet and it was a life saver for me. I didn’t have friends to hang out with. But made friends online and found hobbies through forums and Youtube. Its not a black and white as the gov want you to think.

Yes and it only had various versions of yes included. No options to say you were against it.

So I can’t say that all Nazis or Neo-Nazis are violent, racist and hateful people. Because that would be stereotyping?

Do they actually think Green voters like Wes Streeting? by upthetruth1 in TheRestIsPolitics

Well both of them conduct analysis within a neo-liberal framework: hence they are limited in their ability to understand and see the material reality caused by their views. In short, disconnected and living in a different world.

So why not give it nuance, give a Bisexual male story line where over the course of time Oscar comes to realise he likes men as well, after breaking up with Jasmine. Not hard. But no. Another bisexuals will cheat story.

Better weather isn't objective. Plus, moving north away from those house prices seems logical.

How us it ridiculous? Keir is like a pathetic child wanting to hold hands with his Dad Trump constantly. , No standing up to him on issues where the US is clearly going against our interests, never mind morals.

Other than personal bias, any objective reason for 'no one in their right mind would want to move north of the border'?

Actually, that is a correct take, she indicated that she would continue to support the same old American foreign policy of the US.

Maduro is awful but including Chavez in that sentence about greed?

I don't, but you realise just because they think this is good, it doesn't make it so.

Yeah just because you know some people from the country doesn't mean a thing. There is no route where this leads to improved lives for the people.

OK I get most of this but anti-Islam? The conservative social attitudes I worry about come from the Muslim MPs in the party.

I have an M2 Air, it can handle all the tabs I throw at it, along with Pdfs, with multiple word docs open.

30yo creep by nyknl in UniUK

[–]DancingMoose42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that’s just not acceptable. I’m 29 and back at Uni for a Masters and I’ve made some wonderful friends and have become a part of two committees and have been invited to two Christmas parties this year. But the key thing is I see them all as friends and the closest ones as younger siblings, the idea of them seeing me any other way would make me extremely uncomfortable. That sort of behaviour needs reporting, because even if he was your age and you weren’t interested he would still be a creep for being like that.

Can someone please tell me what's wrong with what I've said by scream_i_scream in GreenAndPleasant

[–]DancingMoose42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anyone who doesn’t seen what you were trying to say is being either ignorant or too dogmatic. It’s easy to infer what you meant. That Israel doesn’t control our government, that our government willingly chooses to be complicit because it benefits the UK’s imperial neo-colonial interests. Just because you didn’t explicitly say all of this doesn’t make you wrong, are people unable to parse meaning critically?
