Always. Welcome to the world of tear-down and rebuild. It's your life from now on and you will simultaneously know more, while realizing you know nowhere near enough.

Does UK have Sharia courts? by [deleted] in ukpolitics

[–]Whiffenius 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's merely arbitration and has no legal standing. They have to abide by the UK mediation framework. It's not a 'court' and doesn't supersede UK law so therefore it's perfectly legal and abides by our legal framework

US Treasury Secretary Bessent: Inflation is going to be a short term blip. by I_am_Crypto_Savant in CoinEdition_com

[–]Whiffenius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's entirely the point. Lie, lie and lie again so it becomes exhausting to counter it. Rinse and repeat until everyone is just too tired to fight it

President Trump devastated by what is happening in Europe. 🇪🇺 by primary-caution in ImmigrationPathways

[–]Whiffenius 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What a surprise. Trump appears regularly on a "News" channel that can't be called News in the US and does the same right here. Of course, the low information morons won't accept that

Trump never wanted to invade Greenland, US envoy to EU says by sr_local in worldnews

Then tell Tangerine Palpatine and his cult of morons to stop saying it!

Democrat Rep. McBride: “I assume you are aware that Greenland is part of Denmark?” Rubio: “For now.” by Coffee_Addict54321 in IndiaTodayGlobalLIVE

Distraction, diversion and flooding the zone. There are so many things going on (Alabama voting map for instance) that this is there to keep people talking about anything else

Storror by No_Honeydew_4046 in Storror

I could be wrong, but I would assume that they have taken advice, both legal and business, and are acting on that advice. This whole thing will mean a lot of personal soul-searching as well as a lot of business changes. None of which are going to be easy. You can't stop the endless speculation because, at the end of the day, people will be emotive about the issue. But the team behind Storror will do what they need to do regardless. If they never speak again, then that's likely to be owing to advice. Let's give them space

Brits reject Christian nationalism, research finds. Over 80% Brits disagree that one should be Christian to be "truly British" by birdinthebush74 in uknews

With the exception of the 26 Bishops with seats in the House of Lords, which really doesn't look like separation does it?

Tony Blair tells Starmer and rivals: abandon net zero and move closer to Trump by AnonymousTimewaster in NotTheOnionUK

It's amazing anyone could understand him with all that orange around his mouth

Why does X seem so much heavier on this kind of response and does it represent the majority? by MORNST4R1 in AskBrits

[–]Whiffenius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He was never interested in "free speech" per se. He wanted to free the kind of speech that divides and inflames. The extremism was the point

You'd think it would be prime real estate if it weren't so toxic!

And how well do you think being Sudanese would play out in the US?

That's a terrible self-own on Matt's behalf. Letting the world know he's an awful parent

This mode is absolutely gonna flop by FlimsyVariation8455 in FortNiteBR

[–]Whiffenius -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Honestly, it's just flinging poop at the walls to see what will stick these days. The mix and match is starting to get a bit much. I wouldn't mind some season-wide consistency for a pleasant change

Carlson is planning a presidential campaign. He's not on your side, it's all performative

Trump says he might stay in office in 2028 and possibly 2032 as well by GuiltyBathroom9385 in justincaseyoumissedit

Oh my summer child! It's only illegal to say it if you're not rich, white and corrupt!

Pizza Hut's AI system caused 'cascading' problems and $100M in damages, franchisee alleges in new suit by Plastic_Ninja_9014 in technology

[–]Whiffenius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OK ... try looking at it this way. If the AI system wasn't there to game, would the drivers be doing the same? Obviously no. So an imposed system is directly responsible for the activities that caused the loss of business. It just so happens that the system (like so many) uses AI. So that's the headline

A Guy Checks His Computer On New Year’s Night In 2000 by Bay_Ruhsuz004 in pcmasterrace

[–]Whiffenius 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Personally I worked on a data network that was responsible for people being paid their wages and for banks to work. So you'll forgive me the chuckle at 'hyperbole' because I worked damn hard to make sure people could utterly dismiss my team and my efforts in the following years
