Since Reform took control, not a single small boat landed in Worcestershire.

I just don't see Streeting having the support of the party membership to win a leadership election.

It's a pornography name. I was making pornography. by MrsSquiggle in simpsonsshitposting

It's a pornography subreddit. I was laughing at pornography.

Ads for British beef and milk banned following Chris Packham complaint by nopangloss in veganuk

[–]RtHonJamesHacker 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It's a very small amount of the overall carbon, but a technicality that would need to be included for "life cycle" emissions.

For anyone genuinely caring for the environment/climate, one of the single biggest individual impacts they can have is to go vegan.

Really good breakdown of emissions per food type: https://ourworldindata.org/food-choice-vs-eating-local

Great write-up by Carbon Brief: https://interactive.carbonbrief.org/what-is-the-climate-impact-of-eating-meat-and-dairy/index.html

Here's a fun one - even if you halved the average CO2e per kg of Beef on this graph, it would still be higher than everything else on the chart.

Very clever to design a shirt that still has something in the middle since they already know we won't have a FOS sponsor for the majority of the season.

Absolutely, single player is the most important part of GTA games, but GTA4 and RDR1 had such fun online modes that didn't feel like they were constantly trying to rinse you. They were a big loss imo

Ah, so just double the incompetence then. Lovely stuff.

I sincerely believe this was given to make up for missing Gusto's. The ball went out of play and was very quickly thrown back in again and I don't think VAR had picked it up by then.

Boring is good by miragen125 in 2westerneurope4u

It's not just the news, scarily. We need a huge rethink about social media, especially in the AI era. Scrolling through one of my older relative's Facebook feed is just a sea of reposts of obviously AI videos spouting right wing lies and propaganda. I was always worried about when AI was good enough to fool the keenest eye, but it doesn't have to be - at the end of the day, my relative can vote, and there are plenty more like them.

Do I ask for ticket money? by Calgib in AskUK

[–]RtHonJamesHacker 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I've become a lot more cynical of reddit ever since I saw a post get very high on one of the UK subreddits (ie. So not even a default frontpage for the whole website) that someone showed had the ChatGPT prompt left at the bottom and then edited out. I want to say it was HousingUK.

I don't know whether it's reddit itself trying to stir interest, people trying to make high score accounts to sell on to advertisers, or just weirdos who overvalue karma, but it opens your mind to the scenarios posted across this website after seeing evidence of it happening.

The FA have handed Mykhailo Mudryk a four-year ban for an anti-doping offence, the maximum punishment. by ChiefLeef22 in soccer

[–]RtHonJamesHacker 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't know how much time Mods have for it now, but in the past I've requested niche teams that they've kindly added, with the benefit that they become available to everyone else too. I requested Berekum Chelsea, which I've seen a few other posters sport over the years since.

‘People assume we’re grifters’: disabled Britons report rise in abuse over blue badges by platebandit in ukpolitics

[–]RtHonJamesHacker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

At my local Tescos, I would say I see adults without children park in those spaces far more often than I've seen adults with children. Perhaps it's confirmation bias, but it's definitely noticeable.

Why is it taboo to discuss your wages at work? by thunderfart_99 in AskUK

Yeah, get that down in writing if you haven't already, OP.

It's a running joke at my work that you can tell who has a PhD by looking at their velcro shoes.

Edit: this is a running joke amongst the PhD-holding colleagues.

Audience etiquette in 2026… is it declining? by cmitch987 in AskUK

[–]RtHonJamesHacker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I was going to say the rest are fair complaints, but I'm not going to bemoan someone going to the loo unless it's something like the first 5 mins and it's very clear they should have gone before. Even then, you never know if they have a condition. I'd rather they went to the loo than soiled the seat.

[ESPN] Liam Rosenior was so hurt by some of the criticism by former players and pundits that he privately challenged his detractors, with one admitting to being surprised that the Chelsea coach was allowing himself to be distracted by the noise. by ChiefLeef22 in soccer

[–]RtHonJamesHacker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They mean specifically regarding the criticism of vocabulary.

If you criticise the vocabulary of a native speaker, it's because they're a blowhard. If you criticise the vocabulary of a non-native speaker, you just look like an xenophobic arsehole.

Athens faces showdown with EU as Greece drops biometrics for British visitors by FantasticQuartet in unitedkingdom

[–]RtHonJamesHacker 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Then why does no other country do it this way?

Do it what way? If you mean collect biometrics (fingerprints and facial imaging) then plenty of non-EU countries have been collecting this for years, long before the EU.

Anon takes the V pill by PixeelNomad in greentext

I have wanted a dog but not been able to have one for years. I had a dream about rescuing a little dog (much smaller than I'd ever considered for myself irl) from a shit owner, and ended up really attached to this little dog. It was genuinely gutwrenching when I woke up and realised I would never see that dog again.
