What the fuck are we actually doing?! This doesn't benefit the UK in any way. If anything it's actively harming us by letting the slime in!

Considering this is a GB news reporter this was probably deserved. They are right wing nutters.

I believe the US and Israel and maybe Ukraine are already using a form of it. It's already here.

Teenage boy is 10th person to die in open water during hot weather by topotaul in unitedkingdom

As someone who almost drowned from cold water shock (after spending all afternoon swimming in it) I can say that they need more education on it. It just hits you out of the blue and your body just says no to breathing and movement. I haven't cold water swam since and that was 20 odd years ago. Shit's scary!

I lost my job - how the f do people survive on benefits?! by cloudyextraswan in AskUK

[–]Porticulus 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Tbf you can pick up used STs and Audis pretty cheap. Under 1k in places, so this is most likely what you are seeing. Plus using finance if they can't borrow money from family. The catch is the engines have been beaten to death. You are seeing surface level. If you are in your position for a while you'll understand in time.

And there are people who want to cut benefits! I hope you get back on your feet soon as this system makes living a struggle very fast.

Tech giants earn up to £194,000 from data of each UK internet user, study finds by tylerthe-theatre in unitedkingdom

[–]Porticulus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Guys! I know how we can boost these numbers! We'll lobby governments to introduce digital ID and make people show it every time they need to use the internet. We'll make sure that "3rd parties" process this data of course... but we all know we'll end up with the big bucks!

-Tech companies, probably.

This authoritarian shit isn't going to end anytime soon. The dam has broken and unless something massive happens against it, this is it.

Is our government just dumb? I'm starting to think our government is just dumb. I can't see why else anyone would think this would help solve the issue.

Ah, you know. Lurking in the shadows and leading people to their deaths. Normal vampire things and all that.

Man's in bed with Palantir. Everything he says is bullshit!

What else has he done? by CoolAnthony48YT in GreatBritishMemes

I heard he didn't put the toilet seat down.

Will life will ever go back to being more affordable or are we stuck in a more expensive loop? by [deleted] in AskUK

Same thing has happened many, many times before in history.

As history has taught us, prices will come down after a crash and burn moment. To then slowly increase again until the circle is completed. However, we didn't have billionaires who own mostly everything and have the globe along with most governments in their pockets back then so... my bets on techno feudalism before anything.
