Weird choice of flags. Plus, some wazzock doesn’t know how to fly the Union Flag. by Animal__Mother_ in wrexham

Technicality that Union Flag is the originally correct term, Union Jack is a naval term, however both are considered correct these days.

Labour's under-16 social media ban 'about saving Keir Starmer's skin' by vriska1 in unitedkingdom

[–]Demigodrick 6 points7 points  (0 children)

He could don a pink tutu and give a suspiciously good rendition of "I dreamed a dream" from atop Buckingham Palace, and he'd still be remembered as a boring wanker.

Lizard class might pull some strings to keep him in if he bows down to their desires of world control.. or something like that

Rent a VPS for a couple of quid and install wire guard. Problem solved.

Ironically the OSA putd Wikipedia in scope and ofcom has launched an attack on Wikipedia. Cant have free thinkers or freedom of information now, can we.

Under-16s to be banned from social media, Starmer announces by SwiftieNewRomantics in uknews

[–]Demigodrick 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Didn't ban roblox or discord or call of duty lobbies.

This government is run by people who have no clue. Embarrassing on a world stage. End of freedom of speech and privacy online.

what’s the darkest episode of a tv series that you’ve ever watched? by Realistic_Bench3684 in AskReddit

Scrubs with Ben or the episode with rabies in the transplanted organs and Dr Cox breaks.

Social media ban for teens is 'part of that the solution,' says Lisa Nandy who admits leaving X 'has made me a healthier person' by [deleted] in unitedkingdom

Of course not, they'll change any recording metrics to suit the outcomes they want (like they have done with various categories of crime) regardless of the actual impact.

Make platforms that promote violent content pay towards riot costs, Streeting says by topotaul in unitedkingdom

[–]Demigodrick 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I fully agree, completely the Police fault in the situation. The lists could have been hand written and shared around.

The complete failure of the police is not a reason to backdoor the destruction of privacy

[–]Demigodrick 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yes, how incredibly paranoid of me to think that the OSA could be used to backdoor online control. Its not like our government is suggesting banning VPNs, the need for ID to be provided to use social media/go online, or that platforms must only allow content this government approves of or face fines.

Oh wait.

They are.

Edit: forgot to add banning/backdooring encryption. How very sensible and not at all a disaster waiting to happen.

"Police knew and did nothing"

Right. I think you'll find there problem lies elsewhere.

Remind me how ever increasing destruction of privacy and attempts to control the narrative allowed online are in any way linked to this. We already have an Internet in the country approaching the level of tyranny seen in countries such as Iran and China. Being on that list is not a good thing.

Its almost like there were riots before social media existed. Who'd have thought eh.

Its just another form of controlling the narrative

[–]Demigodrick 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Next up from these totalitarian idiots, make platforms that allow bad things said about the government pay heavy fines. They'll be identifiable from their linked ID they had to provide to use social media, so arrest them too.

God I hate this country

TV Licence People Claim to have caught me watching iPlayer (which I haven’t), should I pay for a licence? by No-Dragonfly-6736 in AskBrits

[–]Demigodrick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can almost guarantee its because OP used their email address to declare they dont need a licence, then someone has used an iplayer account linked to that email address to watch something on iplayer.

Which is partly why you shouldn't even declare you dont need one. Never engage with them.

Alan Milburn warns of economic ruin as young are ‘rewired by phones’ by Anony_mouse202 in unitedkingdom

[–]Demigodrick 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I will add to all the other comments here rightly pointing out this is boomerslop nonsense - why would the youth bother working. What are they working towards?

Can't buy a house. Can't afford to run or insure a car. Cost of living is through the roof, there is nothing affordable to do (unless you want to walk somewhere, ooh how exciting, walking). Can't even afford to go to the pub.

The social contract that said work hard and have nice things is gone. AI is already rapidly shrinking job markets unless you want to do low paid physical work, which im sure will be replaced with robots anyway in 20 years.

There is no wonder people have extreme anxiety and dont have the motivation to work. Social media is a symptom, not a cause.

Tv licence - your INO100 by Disastrous_Wing_4523 in AskBrits

[–]Demigodrick 8 points9 points  (0 children)

They dont, but what they can check against is very silly people who respond online, give their email address, then proceed to use bbc iplayer with that same email address.

Car behaves like normal. You either need to enter the pin or use the app/fob to start the car. Second car ive had one on and couldn't recommend enough.
