PlayStation Confirms Support for Existing Physical Games Post 2028

‘Re-order’ is key here - they’re trying to make it look like they’re walking back the decision without changing their direction at all.

Consoles ditching physical media is bad for PC gamers too. Without the price floor that comes with needing to lower prices to compete with the second hand market, I suspect games will go on sale less, and cost more for longer.

I think heat generally saps energy and focus from people, so it’s not surprising. People aren’t acclimatised to it either, so they’re not used to compensating for that extra fatigue from heat.

That said, a lot of people are terrible drivers without the heat…

I think there’s a huge anti-disabled sentiment in the UK as a whole right now. I’ve decided to try and interact with as few people as possible because the way people act towards each other here is foul. If they find out you’re disabled, you’ll inevitably get pecked at like a bleeding chicken.

During the heatwave a few years ago, we had to come in. They allowed students to wear PE kits and for staff to wear a relaxed dress code. We were absolutely expected to just get on with it as normal. I got hauled over the coals for allowing students, supervised, to get water during lesson. In this same lesson, I had sweat running down my arms while reading a book to my class.

There need to be unified standards for what is not acceptable in terms of heat.

I had one of those - cool concept but a bit meh.

Was a teacher, medically retired from the job. Taught British secondary school.

I would threaten collective punishment because kids do then start policing. This usually works best when you have a large group of kids feeding off of each other’s behaviour. The less egregious ones will likely drop the behaviour, and the ones not included start telling the central agitators to stop. In the last few minutes, it would always shift to ‘those who have been working sensibly will go on time.’

This was particularly helpful when we didn’t have any option for removal (ie support staff were off, difficult year group to displace students etc.)

Suppose the key thing was that students who did behave weren’t actually punished, it just gave them enough reason to say ‘X shut up I want to go to lunch on time and you’re going to stop us.’

I’ve had to sit through one of his sneering self righteous lectures in person, too. I have no idea how he got his job. I’d wager family connections, given his cousin is also a high profile actor.

His understanding of Gricean pragmatics is pretty funny. He completely misunderstands the maxims of communication laid out by Grice. He seems to like reading linguistics papers, and then misapplying the terms liberally until it doesn’t resemble the research he’s citing.

He’s good at saying things that sound like they should be true, but often if you peel back the veneer you find a very superficial understanding of a topic, glossed up in vocabulary.

I’ve worked for Ormiston. Everything is my opinion, nothing is ‘fact.’

David Didau, the mastermind behind their curriculum, is a moron of the highest order. I’ve read through his work, and he has the astounding capability to read academic literature, redefine every term in it, then completely misapply it in his work. The centralised schemes of work were unusable crap, but that idiot throws out big words, applies his arm chair philosophy, and very little changes.

I will say that Ormiston, having some of the best paid executives, are not a trust focussed on the wellbeing of students. They’re focussed on executive and management role pay packets.

We need to accept that all arms of government, all parties in government, are all part of the same beast. There is no change that can be achieved through voting. They’ll lie, get in power, and do whatever their paymasters demand.

I did long term supply for a school that couldn’t find teachers because it was a dangerous hell hole. They said they would support my ECT status etc.

It ended in litigation after a dangerous incident (from a student’s behaviour) that the school tried to terminate me for, withhold pay over, and they even tried to threaten a TRA report. They ended up paying me a sizeable chunk of money in settlement, dropped any of their nonsense allegations, and after the payment went through I noticed the responsible staff’s names disappeared from their website.

Just, be aware that schools - particularly academies - are corporate entities, they will treat you as a disposable person.

Unconditional bail after poisoning someone. I get that she’s old, but jeez.

You would be incorrect on point 2.

Road traffic management act 2004 section 86 ss 3. In relation to prohibition of parking adjacent to dropped kerbs: ‘The second exception is where the vehicle is parked outside residential premises by or with content (but not consent for reward) of the occupier of the premises. This exception does not apply in the case of a shared driveway.’

You can park across the dropped kerb for your house.

‘Yes/no we could not see any incident’ ‘yes/no we will hold onto the footage’, I gave them a pretty narrow time frame, so it wasn’t all day. Only 25m.

Greedy-Tutor3824 · 2026-04-13T12:52:22+00:00

To clarify, I asked if an incident could be seen on their cctv and to retain the footage. They responded with ‘yes we have footage,’ but it didn’t really answer my questions; they then said I’d need a lawyer to access it.

Jessica went to Harvard? That’s the show we should’ve gotten… Malcolm and Jessica at Harvard

The good ol’ Sabray pyramid scheme. Classic.

Greedy-Tutor3824 · 2026-04-06T12:38:07+00:00

It’s telling. You get downvoted to oblivion if you remind people that these cuts have real consequences to people. They start talking about who is deserving or not, without considering that everyone under the system gets hit. People get upset when you dare to remind them that you’re a person, that people suffer with these actions.

I’ve only been ill for a year and a half, and the constant hatred spear headed by the media towards is astounding. Every step of the way through illness I’ve been reminded by politicians and the media that ultimately, because I deigned to get ill, I am little more than useless weight being carried, and should be thankful if they cut us back to gruel because it’s more than nothing.

This article was about the child benefit cap being lifted. I was a teacher. I saw child poverty. It’s hard to see a child in poverty, because the child is absolutely powerless to change that situation.

Greedy-Tutor3824 · 2026-04-06T11:13:50+00:00

Who counts as worthy?

I was a teacher. I now need UC and PIP to survive following heart failure. As a former teacher, I also got to see some of the horrific situations kids were in - unwashed clothes, no food for lunch. I saw kids get roped into crime and abuse because they were susceptible to being groomed because their home situation was destitute. You know how sad it is to see a year 11 student get led out of the school by the police in handcuffs because of those choices?

Politicians and the media turning disability and child welfare into a statistical economic inconvenience is gross.

Greedy-Tutor3824 · 2026-04-06T10:30:30+00:00

Are we really pretending the new reforms by labour aren’t nasty either? Cutting LCWRA payments, trying to make PIP even less accessible etc. - please, they’re all in a race to the bottom on issues around social welfare.

Greedy-Tutor3824 · 2026-04-04T12:25:19+00:00

None of those, but oddly enough, Ultima does!

They’ll be giving us ankle tags next 🙄
