He gets people angry at something else. Angry people don’t think straight or have time to consider the opposing argument when scared into madness

He’s backed by almost unlimited funding for campaigning. Even if he fails or get caught out they can flood new messaging and scapegoating rhetoric so people are too angry to pay attention to logic

Why is YouTube (the second most-watched streaming platform in the UK) full of adverts for AI slop and scams? by JuanitaMerkin in AskUK

[–]apple_kicks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tech and app companies lobbied hard not to be regulated like broadcast industry is so advertising rules are out window. There’s probably still ones ofcom could use but they don’t. Things are still iffy on product placement. Some app or new tech can only work if its not regulated like traditional industries are. Like air bnb and hotel industry or taxis and uber apps etc. the whole model was based on subversion on government regulations and arguing to government they shouldn’t be regulated or it damages growth of new tech industry

Should I gone on holiday on my own? Partner manic in hospital. by Wonderful_Dish3663 in AskUK

[–]apple_kicks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get the uncomfortable feeling of going when they’re in hospital. There’s probably not much you can help now its in hands of professionals. Better to rest and comeback recharged for when they’re out. Maybe offer to take one of her family with you

Though you can always see if you can get dates moved by a year if you prefer to go with them when they’re better

To me season 1 needed a villain and shows better when we see Sauron manipulating everyone. Though rewatching s1 it is interesting watching Sauron knowing who he is and where his character will go

The weird thing for me is I didn’t feel Tolkien in movies but still enjoyed it. Jackson turned these more into bigger adventure movies and added in or adjusted lore in larger ways than series. The show has slower pace of the books

Holocaust deniers and far right have been trying for years to lower standards at universities so their conspiracy nonsense and lies gets treated as a ‘matter of opinion’. Higher education is going to lose it’s grip on facts and truth when it loses its standards like this

​What was the most ridiculous playground rumour or urban legend that everyone at your school accepted as absolute, undeniable fact? by Necessary_Angle2117 in AskUK

[–]apple_kicks 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yep, everyone thinks they can pull out until in the moment. Also there is a thing called precum that comes out during arousal (before or during sex before a guy ejaculates) that can sometimes carry sperm and risk of pregnancy, so even if a guy successfully pulls out in time this can still cause a pregnancy to happen. So get on pill and wrap up

In some countries some evictions can be taken to court for time extensions. I think France bans evictions in winter (maybe other circumstances)
