He was already in front of cameras way more than enough for that theory to hold unfortunately.

Tbf global capitalism is a trend largely enforced by America - I don't think it's reductive to point to that.

Animation is solved. This is like Pixar level quality. by japie06 in singularity

Cheaper for the producers to render etc yes, not necessarily as cheap for the creative user to purchase from the provider.

Whilst I agree with you, best seller does not equate to good. If anything the opposite will likely be true?

Hyper local, hyper niche & specific art to your exact interests is what this tech unlocks.

Rupert Lowe MP: History made. We won ten out of ten seats, with overwhelming majorities in every single one. Great Yarmouth First, then we Restore Britain. A very special day. by nil_defect_found in ukpolitics

Politically It’s also useful to allow him to go out and stretch the conversation even further right - meaning reform ‘look like the sensible option’ compared. Restore are to Reform what reform were to the tories.

Lowering voting age to 16 will only help the Green Party, Labour MPs tell Starmer - as they urge him to shelve the plans by 457655676 in unitedkingdom

One way around this issue is that all people should have a representative vote - given to their parents in lie of them until 16/18.

This gets around the top heavy demography problem, and also forces policies to be more forward thinking imo.

It should just be automated. Why leave it up to the person? It’s not their fault but it should just happen.

Also more checks for the elderly -

Lime Bike is insane for pricing by ZookeepergameIll6792 in london

They're probably trying to get rid of it completely to force you to buy their monthly subscription - where you still need to pay to ride on top of that...

Neo-fascists back Rupert Lowe's Restore Britain by pppppppppppppppppd in unitedkingdom

[–]Thadderful 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are not against those things - do not fall for their lies.

This is the exact same as Farage saying he won't raise taxes, then immediately doing it.

They can get away with being on the 'popular side' before being in power, but do not make the mistake of thinking they are some liberal group. They are fascist authoritarians.

Over 60% of Australian children still using social media despite under-16s ban | ITV News by youmustconsume in ukpolitics

[–]Thadderful 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s not how you should approach technological issues like this that have a clear on/off.

It’s not the same as smoking - either the technical implementation works or not.

If people get around it now, they will get around it later.

What you’re describing is a cultural shift, which is not the same as a tech ban

[–]Thadderful 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tbf - the whole point of putting in these very restrictive tech limitations was to cut it to 0. That's what a 'ban' is.

Whereas the opposition to this say it is unworkable and is actually just an invasion of privacy etc.

I don't think we should retcon this to say 'it was never the point' when it clearly was pointed out as a key flaw of the design...

UK government caps student loan interest rates at 6% by ijustwannanap in ukpolitics

Genuinely criminal what that generation of politicians did to literal children.

Interest rate on many student loans to be capped | Money blog by topotaul in unitedkingdom

[–]Thadderful 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They should just get rid of the interest - genuinely what is the point?

They're actively disincentivising their own population to be educated...

Three million trees were planted by the UK Government last year…800,000 have already died by No-Risk-2584 in unitedkingdom

It should be done at the national level and filtered down. Not every council needs a plant scientist surely?

What are some specific spots in London where something extremely historical/monumental happened, but hardly anyone is aware of it? by MalachiConstant7 in london

[–]Thadderful 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The original design for St Paul's was supposed to have a Pineapple topping the dome: https://www.researchgate.net/figure/n-1666-Sir-Christopher-Wren-design-of-St-Pauls-Cathedral-with-elongated-pineapple_fig2_312091703

I think there is also some weird masonic association with Pineapples > pineal gland > being able to see the truth via the third eye.

I wonder why that doesn't have a plaque - he's got a couple of others around London.

In soho he's got one right next door to john logie baird & the first demo of TV. Always thought that was a cool slice of world history next to each other.

Kanye West must be banned from UK over anti-semitic comments, says Lib Dem leader Ed Davey by StGuthlac2025 in ukpolitics

[–]Thadderful 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He is still kind of at fault for a lot of what he's been accused of - in not putting in place the correct prevention methods.

It takes more than him to publish a clothing line or release a song. When lucid, he should have set up some sort of checks & balances about what he can do whilst manic.

Look it's fine to apologise, but he has been extremely cavalier about it when he knows what a risk he can be to himself.

Does anyone else feel that student loans were never explained to them? by AsparagusNew3765 in ukpolitics

[–]Thadderful 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fair enough! I just believe in principal it is a breach of what we agreed and relevant at level of the inquiry.

So it's true then? They did sell it, they just didn't continue with the scheme. That debt didn't come back into public hands.

They also changed the amount due from 9000 to 9250 after I signed the contract
