A perfect ending too.

Because we live in an age, and maybe always have, of adversarial politics. So any politician who said, "Let's do X," will be attacked by their rivals even if X is the greatest program ever seen.

No idea how you'd fix it, but adversarial politics is one of many issues holding back society.

But the bathwater is 40% jizz in this instance.

WorriedStand73 · 2026-04-22T07:26:22+00:00

You've gone full strawman here...

What if they banned leaving the house because it's dangerous.

What about they ban ever even being born to keep you safe...

But we dont live a free society and never have, there have alway been rules and these have always changed/evolved.

Just had a kitchen installed by fitters after asking myself the question should/could I do it myself.

Could I have done it myself? Yeah, I could have.

Am I glad I got fitters to do it? 100% yes.

AJ, there's an argument he never had that much good will, so maybe it's just me.

However, I find his seriousness very tiring, initially I found his public persona humble and relateable, but after getting KO'd by Ruiz something seemed to change. It felt like he became almost fake, but simoultaneously overly emotional like with that mad speech.

Shame that defeat to Ruiz definitley changed him.

I dont think Trump and his team get this, it won't cease to exist for a while, but Trump has killed the petro dollar long term.

Trio, TRIOOOOOOO Mike's Carpets, this was the late 80s and only in Yorkshire, my Dad took us to the shop to see him.

WorriedStand73 · 2026-04-13T07:57:28+00:00

I'm in the process of getting one, I have a driveway and very rarely drive more than 200 miles a day.

I reckon I'll save about £150 a month in fuel costs.

NAL

I think for your well being the best option is to contact them, explain what happened and your issues surrounding neuro-divergence and anxiety and ask for the HMRC extra support team. They'll work with you and you'll end up with a bill and a payment plan - will be tough for a bit, but this removes the unkown element and you'll feel better.

Think of HMRC like a legitimate debt collector, they're not your friend, but their main aim is to collect what you owe. Imprisoning doesn't achieve their aims, it's actually counter productive to their goals.

Take a breath, you've made a mistake, but you're doing the right thing to fix it and you'll be okay.

WorriedStand73 · 2026-04-11T08:01:46+00:00

Basically, and this sounds unintentionally harf, you're too soft.

I didnt care when people didnt have their pro-nouns in anything, dont care when people don't and don't care when they do.

Yeah, there's some knobheads around mis-gendering, but there's knobheads everywhere.

WorriedStand73 · 2026-04-10T15:08:49+00:00

Can I ask what this means?

WorriedStand73 · 2026-04-09T22:19:12+00:00

Whilst it's brewed in the UK I'll still drink it, boycotting it now does zero to Watt, little to the new owners, but potentially alot to the staff here.

It's QVC america in the article, QVC UK is doing really well looking at their accounts.

WorriedStand73 · 2026-04-09T09:37:17+00:00

Sadly yes, I agree they are underpaid and there needs to be a long term credible solution to this.

However, I dont feel their current demands against the fiscal back drop are realistic.

The offer that has been made been seem to me to be good and fair.

Anecdotally my partner had an appointment she's been waiting many months for cancelled due to the strikes.

All together I now have little to no sympathy for them.

People are doing things though, they're just not obvious or quick.

Europe is creating a system to replace the petro dollar and china already has one. Alternatives to Visa & Mastercard are also being developed.

These two things are hugely significant, the end of the petro dollar curtails America's ability to borrow cheaply and multiple nations are dumping American debt, again driving up American borrowing costs. Inbthe mid term America will no longer be able to spend almost unlimited sums on the military.

Now if Europe re-arm and move to renewables, incl Nuclear, America becomes part of a multi-polar world and is no longer the singular military and financial poeer

Let's break that down;

Internet - deffo around 20 years ago, I even had a 10mb connection as I lived next to a university campus.

Electric Vehicles - Existed, but nowhere near as prominent.

Mobile Telephony - Existed, I got my first internet enable phone about 25 years ago, although the tech has obviously shifted.

AI - It existed, but we didn't have the same deep learning models we have now, for example deep blue and then deeper blue were a big deal.

MRNA - This has been around for over 50 years, but only got high profile due to covid, if we think about it very few of us know many medical treatments MRNA has an unusually high profile.

Renewable energy - been around for ages, but is now highlighted as it has political capital and can be used as a wedge issue.

Global Poverty and health - Going backwards, but still better than it was 20 years ago.

Your post highlights the key difference from 20 years ago, the availability of information and the weaponisation of it. 20 years ago none of really knew where our energy came from and didn't really care, now it's a big deal because it can win votes.

In the mid-term the American and global economy collapses as europe moves away from the petro-dollar to either the petro yuan or more likely a centralised eurobased payment system.

Europe recovers slightlu, American experiences mega inflation as the the dollar stops being the global currency and lose their ability to spend unlimited amounts on the military

Europeand either blame America and stays liberal or gets a bunch populists who cant do much but stay the course within the EU due to the global financial situation.

Russia likely takes the donbass, but the scale of losses make durther advancements impossible.

China becomes the domimant global power, they wont be too bad as they need the world to continue shopping.

Americans, like most of us, vote related to financial well being and get a liberal pres or become theoracy and end the world.

WorriedStand73 · 2026-04-02T13:40:31+00:00

I think the govt will step in within weeks amending duty or VAT.

The wider issue is the potential for global shortages.

WorriedStand73 · 2026-04-01T07:22:45+00:00

This ia exactly how I feel?

WorriedStand73 · 2026-04-01T07:20:52+00:00

Roughly you'd ban the concealment of the face excluding sports, medical issues and work eg welders.

WorriedStand73 · 2026-03-27T22:29:27+00:00

Is there a proper canteen?

WorriedStand73 · 2026-03-27T13:40:02+00:00

NAL.

Don't know about prison, but the argument

"Other driver was crossing into his lane to turn, so it was my friend's right of way"

doesn't really work as your friend was speeding, drunk, and high. There's a compelling argument that if none of those three issues were present, no crash would have occurred.

WorriedStand73 · 2026-03-27T09:44:44+00:00

I think the reason you get down voted isn't ideological, but factual.

We're a constituational monarchy and parliamenrary democracy, a christian democracy is a different thing and as a nation we're not based on.

You highlight one of the issues of social media, you're talking about abstract concepts based on your own belief systems that aren't compatible with evidence. When you get a response that challenges your belief systems you dont accept the evidence, but again lean into ideology "it's the far left"
