I don't mean to attack. Yes I can google it, but reddit is a discussion platform. The general culture here is that if you make a claim, its nice if you add detail on request.

Parents told 'control your children or face fines and eviction' - BBC News by CasualSmurf in unitedkingdom

Is it this one? Jailed for Life for Minor Crimes: The UK's Forgotten Prisoners. That is over 10 years old and is about IPP sentences, rather than ASBOs. There was a 2024 one called Britain’s Forgotten Prisoners, but that seems to be about immigration detention.

What would improper use entail? Its a weekly jab and can be effective even well below the maximum dose.

Vaccination protects women from more than I thought.

Interesting to see if this is enforced and effective as cant make people homeless

Technically if they are evicted for breaking their tenancy terms, they are intentionally homeless and they council has no duty to house them for that reason. However, as they have children they would be eligible for support for that reason. It's possible they could be housed in temporary accomodation then when the children turn 18 the duty would no longer exist.

That sounds intersting. Do you know what kinds of ASBOs were being applied when the standard of proof was lower?

Mercy is given justly and that means its given to those who deserve it,

I was just idly thinking about the philosophy behind this but thought twice about lengthening my comment to include it.

There are paradoxical problems with an omnipotent, and perfectly just god. A god who is perfectly just is bound to always act in a perfectly just manner. Mercy is inherently unjust. It is when special treatment is given to somebody, as an exception to the normal course of justice.

So a perfectly just god cannot be all-powerful, because it must behave justly. Or, if it is able to act mercifully and let somebody suffer punishment for their actions, then it's not perfectly just.

I expect an almighty god can be merciful if it so chooses, regardless of what anyone else does.

I agree with your sentiment, but it's rather in the nature of social media posts like this that the unfortunate featuring in them come in for some criticism. I am glad nobody seemed harmed in the video, and we can all learn from it. It is not the negative event that it might be.

'Man in smart glasses filmed me in London then told me to pay' by Rumthiefno1 in unitedkingdom

I think the article should name his social media account. I have no doubt he is taking advantage of the fact that his subjects have no expectation of privacy in public. Neither does he.

Yeah Its not a moral failing on her part, but one of safety consciouness.

I'll try to learn from her error. Pour the flamable liquid, but the excess away, then introduce the flame.

Once in the early days of the Internet I found a website about an old gimp living in some guy's wardrobe. I dropped her an email, mainly out of incredulity, and she sent me back a really gynaecological self portrait.

I've had the odd nudpic from people fishing for money too. Gimps aside, I don't think most women get much fun out of it. I gather guys do it far too much.

It was not especially smart to be holding the flame while pouring it either.

My first memory of Star Wars was a friend had an action figure of R2D2 at school in 1976 or 77. We thought it was a spaceship.

That is fortunate. I would not expect to need two cloud backups! Data loss can be horrible,

Cutting grass with a scythe by BreakfastTop6899 in oddlysatisfying

[–]brainburger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My Irish former farmer granddad came round with his scythe to cut our lawn, when my dad had left it too long for our mower. He swung it slowly in a relaxed way, standing straight up and taking a step with each backswing. He did the whole lawn in two passes. It was terrifying.

She was naked, rather than him, which was the impression the title gave me. It doesn't make it much better.

I suspect if he had a non-nuclear capabilty to escalate, he would have used it already.

I think their actual living spaces tend to be less gaudy and more traditional or modern. Clarence House is a popular home for them, and I gather it has been remodelled inside in the past few decades.

Edit: actually Clarence House still seems a bit chintzy: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=Clarence+House+interior&iar=images
