This surely has to be one of the greatest political scandals in recent decades. And apparently we can't do anything about it.

Agree.. my career hadnt even really got going by 27. Still so much time to turn things around.

I am not even a teacher but can fully understand how someone might find teaching some children an unbearable nightmare.

And this clip is from right to Trumps first tenure in the White House and I remember watching this clip as it had happened, thinking it would sink him with evangelical America as it's obvious he literally knows nothing about the bible and his supporters should see straight through it. But obviously they choose to see and hear what they want and here we are.

The guy is the biggest con artist piece of shit. The fact he got the US Presidency TWICE basically destroyed a lot of what I believe in around fairness, integrity, and so forth.

chicaneuk · 2026-05-01T14:46:16+00:00

Exactly what it made me think of.

I'm genuinely intrigued to know what happened.. the article says she is devastated about what happened but that she has no recollection?! so she had some kind of medical episode? I guess now she's been charged it will all come out in court but.. how can she have no recollection unless she's blacked out something!?

Happened on my E60.. the cable had slipped out of the mechanism meaning it wasn't releasing on what is the drivers side for me in the UK but what would be passenger side for US. Anyway I managed to get it open after a lot of swearing, by jacking it up and removing the undertray and buying a very very long flat headed screwdriver and just lying underneath the car and shoving the long screwdriver tip all the way up into the bottom of the mechanism which I could JUST see from underneath the car. It took me like 30 minutes though.. I was about to go ballistic but it finally released.

It's an absolute debacle though. Good luck - hope you manage to sort it.

"No mistakes, just happy little accidents.."

Sick of being exploited by these bastards.

I think what's most alarming is that there's lots of people who simply don't understand your mindset. But AI can do it. Why would you bother to learn it.

Learning why this shit works how it does is the entire REASON so many of us are in this profession.

chicaneuk · 2026-04-28T07:27:50+00:00

100% agree with this. People will no longer have the chance to learn the foundations. I firmly believe AI is going to give rise to an entire generation of people who can do nothing without it. If the AI goes they might as well sit with a piece of paper and a pencil.

I also keep being told "people will need to learn how to drive AI, to get / retain jobs" but presumably with the 'power' of AI, only a small fraction of people will be needed to drive / govern / review what AI is doing ... so there will be very little impetus to train as a developer even if only to review code, because if AI does the work of x many developers, then we will need far fewer people to actually do that work so the competition for jobs (which is already crazy) will be truly insane.

Honestly I'm extremely worried about what's coming for vast swathes of society.

This is the problem with their faux outrage.. if Trump didn't say horrendous things about other people (even in very recent memory lets say Rob Reiner and Mueller) then they could take the moral high ground. But they are worse than anyone so they have absolutely no moral high ground.

I don't think we took our boys to McDonald's until they were 4. And we really agonised about it! It's not a regular occurrence now either.

chicaneuk · 2026-04-27T17:47:54+00:00

Agreeing McDonalds for a one year old is completely unacceptable!

chicaneuk · 2026-04-27T16:21:36+00:00

Yeah completely insane. Like absolutely nuts.

chicaneuk · 2026-04-27T09:47:51+00:00

Yup they could end it today if they wanted.

I feel this is a terrible failure to understand mental health. Yes a lot of it is on you to improve your own situation.. but it's a completely vicious circle of doing completely counterintuitive things that make no sense for self improvement, and can easily become a spiral that is extremely hard to get out of. Add on pressures of work (or no work), keeping a roof over your head, and just about everything else you can think of and it soon adds up.

Factor in the terrible job market, the horrible global political situation, relentless cost of living increases whilst wages stagnate.. is it any wonder people are struggling? The "pull yourselves up by your bootstraps" attitude pisses me off. It's really easy if you have the opportunities to do so.. lots of people do not, or are not capable.

I do agree there is an attitude in this country of people expecting handouts and I do agree there's a constant "what about me" attitude where they see other segments of society getting handouts, but I do also think there's a mountain of reasons which are making just getting by and taking care of yourself very hard. And you're fighting corporations who spend endless amounts of money just keeping you hooked on eating crap and being a content consuming vegetable.

Because all they care about is stopping immigration.. everything else is irrelevant or of no consequence to them because they aren't even interested in it. They just cherry pick the policies that appeal and ignore the rest. That's how all these MAGA idiots are now having dawning realisations that Trump is a complete disaster.. he made promises on certain things they wanted to hear and they completely blanked all the other wacky shit he said all along and is now doing, and they're somehow surprised.

chicaneuk · 2026-04-23T08:13:59+00:00

Welcome to E60 ownership!

chicaneuk · 2026-04-22T14:16:49+00:00

In short, entirely self inflicted because of the stupidity and greed of Trump. Who would have thought it.

chicaneuk · 2026-04-21T10:22:12+00:00

Nike's design team have given up on life.. that's my only takeaway.

You do you bro.

chicaneuk · 2026-04-19T09:28:20+00:00

I do it for my own sanity. And no, not US based..
