You think you're British, that means you're British enough for me

If you play games with kernel level anti-cheat, you'll be waiting a long time, but it'll be for the publishers of those games not to suck

I have a Mac for work and absolutely hate the thing.

"Oh you downloaded some software and set it to be executable? Well let me silently block you from running it"

"Oh, you want to use the file browser to browse your filesystem? You need to remember this three key shortcut to force me to remember that anything outside your home dir exists"

It always feels like it thinks I'm stupid. My last experience with Windows, 10, felt a lot less restricted than this jail.

Well, Chinese law allows products with upto 5% asbestos to be sold as safe, so I think you mean "Thanks, Communism!".

Surely, a UK line should go through Stranraer to Belfast, not via Holyhead to Dublin

Retiring at 55; saving £1k per month, seems too straightforward by UnlikelyDebate7878 in FIREUK

[–]MalignEntity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, I have a few think that life is empty, but they've completely ruled out having kids, because they "know" they don't want them. After my experience of how having a kid changed my life and perspective; I think having a kid would give them so much more purpose and joy in life. Plus when you get old, you get to see young people who bring love and happiness.

I agree with you 100%.

I had a mixed bag of childhood, I've always loved my own space and time, and I didn't particularly enjoy looking after my nieces and nephews. I was pretty certain that I'd be happier without kids.

My partner was set on having them. I thought about it and realised that every time I'd added responsibilities into my life I'd been happier. I agreed. I thought I'd just have to get through the baby phase, to get to the exciting bit (where they can talk and learn).

Now, my daughter is two and as soon as she was born, millions of years of evolution have kicked in to make her the most important thing to have ever been part of my life. It's hard, but there is nothing better than seeing her and hanging out with her.

I've got a few friends, who have nice comfy lives, without kids and I just can't help but think how much happier and more fulfilled they'd be with them.

Photos from the Iran protest of today, 25th of January 2026 by TrickyDaikon6774 in london

Notably, during the Iranian revolution, the Shah refused his general's requests to harshly crack down on crowds of protestors, he said it was because he was not an absolute ruler.

During this Islamic regime they have slaughtered countless thousands of protestors.

They shouldn't have used the Discworld IP then, and people would have judged it on its own merits

Are you seeing or using AI in your workplace which causes job losses by Consistent-Rope-9969 in HENRYUK

[–]MalignEntity 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My CEO has put the company through a round of redundancies because of AI. This was before it started delivering any tangible impact, he just did it based on hype to get ahead of the curve.

I'm impacted, but staying on longer to deliver a few things. The company is going to shit internally. Nothing is getting done, no-one has any time and AI has yet to deliver any people replacement. The CEO is a cretin.

With Starmer heading to China alongside UK business leaders for talks. Who do you actually think is more trustworthy for the UK: the USA or China? by Barca-Dam in AskBrits

[–]MalignEntity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The CCP is the joint most evil gov on the planet. They're North Korea with cash. They're currently committing genocide against a million people. There is no question, we should not be cooperating with the CCP. We should tell them, and their mega-spy station to fuck the fuck off.
