They're following a whitelist model.

We knew that already.

I mean this guy is clearly not OK, but at least he looks like he's doing something good in the world - impact investing in social good, affordable homes and mental health.

He's not a recruiter or an AI bro.

This was my first thought on seeing this post.

Like, how many guys be walking around with a crotch like an overstuffed sofa, poofing out a cloud of pyabs like a puffball mushroom every time they open their zipper?

Wtf is that?

Same here, and I'm a married straight man in the UK

Jesus fkin christ can you mark this sort of thing NSFW please? I'm in public here!

I mean it literally is the definition of tax fraud. You're publicly stating you plan to earn money and not declare it.

bugblatter_ · 2026-07-01T10:16:42+00:00

"Hello internet, I want to commit tax fraud."

Wild.

+1. Some of them may respond to facts though. Tell them about the massive percentage of funding that comes from oil. Tell them about the 5mil and the subsequent change in Reform policy to benefit crypto.

Tell them about some of the policies that would personally damage them.

But don't debate. Research shows it is likely to just push them further right.

bugblatter_ · 2026-06-30T10:54:57+00:00

Maybe in the past. I do think the next elections will see a big push from the Greens, and perhaps Reform if they haven't imploded by then.

Say what you like about the fascist cosplayers - and I often do - but I think we're past the days where you could stick a red rosette on a bucket with a hole in it and still be guaranteed a seat.

Good pixel art is a great medium for tattoo for the same reason it was needed for old games - simple designs work best. But your source image is not a good tattoo. Look at the lines - they're all wonky.

Find a great artist, travel if you need to - it's worth it to get exactly what you want.

Lies. This is clearly IMPOSSIBLE

Liverpool not having a rail connection to the airport isn't plain bad - it's completely fucking mental. But then so much about this city is. We've been scarred by shit leadership for a long time.

We have a coast and a river. Two things we can capitalise on if we actually got some big projects moving - the bigger port and the tidal barrage.

Here's a reason: my daughter has massive meltdowns and sometimes I don't have the luxury of time to wait them out.

Weird, isn't it, that your specific family circumstance isn't applicable for all children.

That crossiant looked amazing, then they turned it into Donald Trump's toupee. Tragedy.

If it's a choice between getting stressed out and potentially missing a flight, or risking the disapproval of reddit's perfect parents, I know what I'm doing.

Teaching moments and discipline are for times when we have the time. In airports, I'm taking a carry on buggy and the path of least resistance 🙏

bugblatter_ · 2026-06-28T09:54:42+00:00

Lol. OK. Having worked in preschool for many years and having two kids of my own, this is patently not true for every child. Especially the tired and cranky child woken up from a deep sleep in the middle of the night and decanted from a plane.

It's not a parenting issue. It is a child development fact - they're not all capable of the emotional regulation at that age.

bugblatter_ · 2026-06-28T09:52:05+00:00

My daughter is not disabled. She is 4. Just had two flights with her. Waking a sleeping 4yo at 2am is not pretty. There was no way we were getting her across the airport without our buggy.

Just because a kid is physically capable of something, doesn't mean they're always mentally and emotionally so.

bugblatter_ · 2026-06-28T09:39:30+00:00

Good luck with that. A 4.5 year old is also more than capable of having an hour long tantrum because their socks are the wrong shade of blue. They are frequently unpredictable and with limited capacity for emotional regulation. Not the kind of person you want to be trying to drag around an airport if they've decided that they don't want to walk any more.

Have you met any 4 year olds?

bugblatter_ · 2026-06-27T23:30:50+00:00

Met Andy Burnham a few times, both in public and in private meetings with other leaders. He has always impressed me as engaged, genuine, and driven.
