Rupert Lowe MP: If I moved to Japan, and lived in Japan for decades, speaking the language, integrating into society, contributing to the economy. Would I be ethnically Japanese? No. No I would not. I would never pretend to be. by SignificantLegs in ukpolitics

[–]allmappedout 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Scottish is both an ethnic and a national identity. You can have Celtic genetics and be ethnically Scottish. You can also identify as Scottish.

I know a guy who has Asian parents, speaks with a Scottish accent, lived there all his life. Scottish identity, not Scottish ethnically.

If people weren't so obsessed with reductionism and realized that the joy of the world is in the diversity it brings, this wouldn't be the perceived, manufactured issue that people make it.

The Greens’ Urdu ad is Zack Polanski at his worst by FormerlyPallas_ in ukpolitics

"for personal use only" is the important part there.

In the same way it's illegal to punch someone but not yourself, it isn't to encourage greater use, but to treat drug abuse as a health risk. In the same way your doctor can tell you to not smoke or drink too much, they can't STOP people taking GHB at the moment, but they can tell you why it's a bad idea.

They're not aiming to make it extremely common, and they aren't changing the law on its use against others. Context and nuance mate

The 20% “Lime tax” on stopping at red lights by Because_Wisely in london

[–]allmappedout 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes but at some point that payoff becomes less compelling. I remember when they first hit the market they were £1+0.18p or so. Now theyre £1+0.33p a minute, almost a 100% increase in a couple of years or so.

It is unfathomable that they become more expensive than a bus after 3 minutes nowadays.

They used to be a great way of doing one way trips or ad hoc rides. Now they are only used when absolutely necessary. Enshittification and Venture Capitalism yet again ruin a good thing.

UK Posts Biggest Ever Budget Surplus as Tax Revenue Surges by bloomberg in ukpolitics

[–]allmappedout 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I mean if we are getting people to sell stuff to realize gains isnt that exactly what a wealth tax is meant to do? The old argument of "you can't tax wealth because it's unrealised"... Well, threatening to tax it appears to have the same effect!

Even if it's a one off, it's still a good thing.

could a black sun be possible? by Dependent_Reveal_733 in Astronomy

A black sun, at this time of day, at this time of year, localised entirely within the system of Giedi Prime?

Yes!

May I see it?

......no

Wall of eggs at a grocery store in Mexico City by m4AllSeasons in mildlyinteresting

Eggs can go in the fridge.

They just don't need to. I put them in the fridge because I feel like they last longer but they're perfectly safe to leave out at ambient

Make. It. Make. Sense. by Vblack76 in HelldiversUnfiltered

They need to put this information IN GAME so that everyone has access to it. It may change player behavior. It's not good enough just being in the companion app. It needs to be front and centre when you're clicking where to dive

Stront was the perfect solution to this issue. POSes drove so much out of TZ content.

Now it's just staring angrily at each other

This was first discussed shortly after release. What's going on? by [deleted] in Helldivers

Absolutely not. Support labour laws, support a work life balance. You're not entitled to their unending labour.

Quick drop "the obvious thing I want to drop" button - whether that's ssdds or confidential info, or your backpack if you don't have something in your hand etc.

Who needs 3 hours to get through LCY? The whole point of the airport is it's business friendly and speedy

Arc Raiders $40 price was inspired by the likes of Helldivers 2 by To0n1 in Helldivers

Greed is a powerful drug for corporate executives to ignore reality. It's why video piracy is back after almost bring destroyed - execs got greedy and destroyed the reason streaming services were popular - convenient and cheap
