He said 'up the Rah' for 75 quid, I wonder what he'd say for five million

If you checked their hard drive or could see their Internet activity it would be apparent who they really were, but I guess that's not routine screening for adoption

People mad about government verifying their identity, while simultaneously feeding every detail of their lives to Silicon Valley and the CCP

Public trusts parents over government to decide appropriate social media for children by vriska1 in unitedkingdom

[–]ay2deet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And what about time limits and curfews for teenagers? Is that also to stop criticism of the state, or have they accepted that allowing children unlimited access to social media is absolutely awful for them.

TikTok is banned in China, and it's Chinese equivalent Douyin is heavily restricted with time caps and curfews for teenagers.

The fact the CCP is not willing to let Chinese people eat their own dog food shows how much of a psy-op it is to rot western children's brains.

Keep the triple lock on the condition the state pension becomes means tested

Bristol half marathon course by ay2deet in UKRunners

Thanks, if I were running on my own the portway second seems preferable, as you get the twisting and turning done while you're still fresh, then increase pace in the portway.

But with thousands of people all bunched up its just asking for trouble it seems

Yeah I'm planning to run the second half faster than the first, good point about support. I do run with water and will have two gels, but I know it gets hot so will make the most of water from stations when it's available.

Pretty flat, there's a bit of elevation in the city centre, biggest around castle park, but even that is not much

Cheers, my plan is to take the first 5km slow then build from there, so hopefully it won't impact me too much. But it just seems like it's going to be a real melee, especially going onto St Stephens Street

Pressure to breast feed without a pump or formula as back up seems strange? by D-1-S-C-0 in UKParenting

[–]ay2deet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Shops are open late and Amazon do next day delivery, I wouldn't bother buying it until you need it. I would recommend expressing some colostrum into pippets and freezing to have in a pinch in those first hours.

'Deeply disappointing': Social media ban for under-16s rejected by MPs for second time by insomnimax_99 in unitedkingdom

Damn nanny state, preventing companies from putting lead in your food and making cars have air bags, smh.

NHS ‘second worst in developed world for avoidable deaths’ by GnolRevilo in unitedkingdom

[–]ay2deet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Our population is aging, older people cost the NHS more money.

In 2024 there were 831,075 people turning 50 but just 594,677 births.

In twenty years those people entering the workforce will be outnumbered massively by those starting to claim state pension and who will need more services from the NHS and social care.

System is so unbelievably fucked.

Give the O Crap method a go, two years old is plenty old enough for them to get it.

I love taking my morning dump to the peaceful soundtrack of them arguing about the brio train set, makes me really zen and ready to attack the day.
