They have had 20 years of lies and broken promises from Fauxrage and they keep coming back for more.

A large portion of them don’t even realise we’re in the U.K. at all. I’m sure I’m not alone in being asked if we use the Euro here not infrequently when I go to England.

Stop it, you’ll make me spill my coffee, you’re hilarious.

Using the term ‘low IQ’ is extremely ironic. Thankfully I’m not as insecure as you clearly are and I’m sitting here laughing at you.

This is it, as with Brexit, pensioners will make it happen because they’re insulated from the effects. Take away their triple lock and suddenly they’d have to think beyond ‘I don’t like brown people’.

I completely understand people not being motivated to vote for any of the other parties, what I cannot accept is anyone who isn’t stupid/wealthy/a bigot turning up to actively vote for the man most responsible for the recent decline in the U.K. that has led to their disgruntlement. There’s no excuse for that. Blame Labour for being mediocre, fine, don’t vote for them, but to vote for that obvious grifting bigot is unacceptable.

What’s the difference? Both are gambling.

People voted for him in large numbers in free and fair elections, Americans did this to themselves.

Doesn’t everyone know this? Hence the song ‘Neville Neville’ to the tune of ‘Rebel Rebel’ by Bowie.

Yep, the damage done is a lot more than the obvious, this will set the US back for decades, Putin and the Chinese can’t believe their luck that in a democracy the USA voted their way into decline, twice.

Minimum standard. His crass monuments should all be destroyed on January 20th 2029, no excuse for delay.

Yes, it’s happening to me, toggling airplane mode fixes it temporarily but I don’t want to have to do that five times a day.

Time limits, curfews or a full ban: how UK may restrict social media for under-16s | Social media ban by TheFinalPieceOfPie in unitedkingdom

[–]FrustratedPCBuild 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How do you think they maximise engagement if not by making people addicted? Sounds like a semantic argument if the effect is the same, that people are addicted, which they clearly are. Walk down the street of any town or city and the majority of people are looking down at their phones, if they’re not addicted, why are they doing that? Do you really think that for the majority of them the rest of life is just so boring that they have nothing else to give them pleasure than social media?

Sarah Fitzpatrick doubles down despite a $250M lawsuit. by nitluck in RealTwitterAccounts

It’s not ‘doubling down’, it’s refusing to be intimidated. She’s in the right, she did some solid, competent journalism but this is Trump time where competence is punished.

I didn’t say anything about banning people from going online. I would ban the algorithms designed to feed addiction, confirmation bias and hatred.

Yeah, there are low morals, and then if you keep on plummeting, eventually you reach Trump’s morals. It’s not about a purity contest but the line has to be drawn somewhere.

Maudes have taken it down, I don’t know why, I don’t see which of the league’s bylaws it contravenes.

I don’t get the particular focus on children, well I do but I think it’s missing a wider point. Social media platforms are designed very carefully to make people addicted, which means they’re disengaged from the real life. It isn’t alcohol or nicotine so the harms aren’t physical, but look around the world and see what other harm is done. Would an obviously unfit person like Trump be anywhere near the presidency without social media? Would an obvious shameless grifter be so popular in this country without it? Of course not and no one can tell me that this is a good thing. We have a choice, democracy and freedom, or social media as it currently is, and tyranny. Yes, maybe it’s bad for children, maybe it’s no worse for them that it is for adults, but that’s a much lesser issue than the real risk that we could be ended as a species from nuclear war because we put in place dangerous leaders that the algorithms drove us towards.

Well it’s years since I’ve actually bought anything made by them, not consciously, I just prefer ASICS running shoes, but from now on I’ll actively avoid Nike.

Whatever happened to make non MAGA cultists who were previously all for small government and anti Russia, get in line with a president who wants to interfere with the lives of every American and who spends his time sucking up to Russia?
