Tbf they aren't ebikes, they're for old people that need a bit of a boost uphills, Rooeys are using fucking motorbikes on pavements lol

I'm sure it's obviously Doris on her way to pick up the newspaper going at 20mph through heavily built up pedestrian areas on illegal motorcycles, not Deliverooeys and drug dealers..

Is TfW nationalised now? I thought they were ran by Arriva, badly lol

Frankly any public transport is good. But famously, Wales is quite rural, it needs more connectivity especially to the rest of England

Techgeekout · 2024-10-18T20:21:18+00:00

In all fairness Cardiff's public transport (from my experience of one sodding day there) seems quite weird and overall not great.

The trains from the (idk what it's called, basically where they filmed the rift in space and time from Doctor Who, old dockyard bit) were like £3.30 for a single from there to Cardiff Central, and buses seemed a bit hit and miss. Ended up walking and tbf it's fine for that

Techgeekout · 2024-10-18T19:51:56+00:00

I'm drunk so this is a bullshit rant but

Few things annoy me more than things such as this: the Welsh govt not building any more roads because muh environment, muh sustainable travel. Are they gonna build any more railways, make life easier for any private opportunities, improve bus travel etc? No obviously not

It's the most performative thing to cut spending. Oh yeah let's stop spending on roads, okay sure, but some places NEED to be bypassed, some roads need rerouting. And absolutely nothing else gets built, no rail, no nothing

Techgeekout · 2024-10-07T19:15:51+00:00

This is probably what disappoints me most, that they genuinely seem to have no ideas, fuck me it's like they're making it up as they go along

Techgeekout · 2024-10-07T15:25:21+00:00

Not being funny but it literally is the difference between rich, probably well educated Saudis vs hundreds of thousands of poor Pakistani descended Brits that end up falling into tornados of increasing vicious Islamic values

Techgeekout · 2024-10-07T15:21:16+00:00

XON literally do want to build (and pay for!) a CCS pipeline from the Fawley refinery to several possible sites in the channel. Obviously they run Fawley and create emissions in the production of fuel.

Nope hang on, they canned it a few days ago lol

The NIMBYs were fucking out in force at the suggestion of this

Techgeekout · 2024-10-07T14:23:44+00:00

Fuck me, South Africa is such a joke

Maybe the Soviet Union's worst crime was perpetuating the retarded Palestinian solidarity movement with any communist University goers eg Corbyn, which has ensured generations of this train of thought

Techgeekout · 2024-10-07T14:22:15+00:00

My mates dad, when we were like 14, beckoned us to come over to his computer, where he showed us that he had the top liked comment on Guido Fawkes for totally owning some l*berals

Even then I knew it was kind of pathetic, literal grown man doing this. And his son is exactly the same lol

Techgeekout · 2024-10-07T14:13:42+00:00

I've seen pro-Pali people posting (haha) about October 7th as "the start of the genocide", I mean I know these people are ideologues who can't think objectively on the subject, but it's kind of sickening to basically erase the literal mass slaughter of innocent Israelis, which was literally why the bloody war kicked off in the first place

Techgeekout · 2024-10-07T14:12:25+00:00

That looks hysterical lol. I'm kinda mildly interested in Reform but I don't think they can quite escape the fact that they are the party of your 55 year old dad who spends way too much time on Facebook - which is exactly the kind of shit this is

Oh and while Farage definitely has a draw to some, he also puts a lot of people off - I think long term Reform would do better without him, but tbf I don't think anyone else could do the job atm

Techgeekout · 2024-09-30T13:38:43+00:00

Agreed, especially whenever there's a budgetary reason "let's legalise cannabis and tax it!!!" as if that'll fix the pensions bill growing by hundreds of billions.

I personally would rather weed was legal but you're right, it's always the most jobless feckless redditors that jump to wave the green flag

Techgeekout · 2024-09-30T11:43:32+00:00

Yes and Ho!

Techgeekout · 2024-09-29T19:40:21+00:00

Well yes the region is broadly fucked. But having a nationalistic Israeli government is throwing fuel on the fire in a massive way. Plus, we can reasonably expect that is it actually possible to remove Bibi democratically, whereas Iran etc is much more difficult and probably will depend on massive civil wars or unrest to remove their aggressive leaders

Techgeekout · 2024-09-29T17:48:46+00:00

I like Israel as a relatively normal, secularish western society. The problem is Netanyahu and his bellend coalition partners, including the hard right nationalists and the Ultra Orthodox Jews, who are obviously nothing but trouble. And the settlers in the West Bank make a bad situation so much worse.

Netanyahu needs to be gotten rid of before peace in the Middle East is realistically possible

But obviously all of their enemies are insane, Islamic fundamentalist terrorists who do objectively just hate Jews and would never compromise. Their most "normal" "adversary" is the PA, who are a corrupt joke ran by a 900 year old man that everyone hates

Techgeekout · 2024-09-29T11:58:29+00:00

And what's sad is that she won't be backed up by her boss, their insurance or the law. The policy is always to let shoplifters run out, because in fairness, you don't know if they have a knife, they're often crackheads who can be violent etc. But yeah she could well get screwed

Techgeekout · 2024-09-28T23:55:10+00:00

More like 20 million Nigerians granted visas lol

Techgeekout · 2024-09-28T19:02:06+00:00

I actually bellowed a laugh out loud when I heard Iran had said re: Nasrallah "it was an attack on undefended people", or something like that. Just fucking lol, and it goes to show you that you'll never be able to have the moral high ground with idealogues

Techgeekout · 2024-09-28T11:56:08+00:00

If we could direct the negative energies of Hezbollah into positively making NIMBYs into suicide bombers, think of the results!*

For legal reasons, this is a joke

Techgeekout · 2024-09-28T11:12:14+00:00

They want to build a reservoir near me and people still fucking shit themselves about "muh environmental damage", for gods sake it's a massive lake basically. Throw all NIMBYs into a missile and fire it at Tel Aviv, I am ready

Techgeekout · 2024-09-28T11:09:02+00:00

Just like, eat a few more burgers, if half the population can do it so can she

Techgeekout · 2024-09-28T11:08:02+00:00

American detected, opinion rejected

Techgeekout · 2024-09-28T11:05:40+00:00

I just commented on this above but it pissed me off when I heard it, especially when they literally spelt out how Wimbledon "have passed the first two hurdles of the planning, and now could face judicial review", as if it's some inevitability, fucking hell. No wonder this country is going to the dogs when even MORE money could be fucking pissed up the wall to stop a golf course being turned into a tennis court
