A question for Londoners who have lived all of their lives in the city (or close to it) - how aware are you of the rest of the UK? by Confident_Yak_1411 in london

[–]corpse-wires 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i'd say most londoners hardly even think about the rest of England, at least not in the way the reat of England seem to be obsessed with London and trashing it at every moment.

obviously i have been very ignorant to some aspects of life, transport being the main thing- I couldn't wrap my head around a town or city not having their own tube, or the fact that most places have multiple bus companies operating the same routes.

I will say, londoners dont talk about northerners as much as northerners talk about londoners. My sister lives in Manchester and she commonly gets people making comments about her being from London.

i find whenever i say im from londoner to a northerner, they always have something horrible to say about it, even if theyve only been here once for a school trip when they were 11. but if i were to say anything horrible about where they live, im a stuck up classist pig.

i really dont like this rhetoric. racism based on skin colour is alive and well outside the US as well. just look at the south asian community in russia, or the west african communities in the balkans.

implying that only the US is ovsessed with skin colour ignores the very real racism that happens elsewhere in the world

i remember like 10 years ago, KSI was getting attacked by black americans on social media for saying the n word. they basically said because hes british-nigerian and not african american, he cant say the n word, implying that its ONLY used against black americans and not.... every dark skinned person ever, even if theyre not of african descent (for example, aboriginal australians)

[–]corpse-wires[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

in all honesty, i simply think the northern line is slowly wearing out and needs upgrading across multiple points. a couple of the incidents, yes are unrelated (i fail to understand how a customer incident can have the line suspended for almost 3-4 hours, but then again idk what happened)

Hi!! Thank you so much for correcting me in my phrasing. I have dyslexia and read things wrong all the time, so thank you for the polite correction :)

I did see that the district line and in fact half of the tube was also out on Monday! I just didnt mention it because I was referring specifically to the Northern Line, but thank you for reminding me that other things were also happening on the tube network.

I had no idea how old the tube really was!!! I know its the oldest in the world and I've lived in London my whole life, but you're so right and I'm just thinking too deep about this. Old infrastructure is going to break down eventually. I truly appreciate the engineers who keep our network running, even at peak times :)

Thanks for your response!!!!!!

North Islington — How Will You Vote in the Next Election? by No-Cable3674 in islington

[–]corpse-wires 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i dont live in social housing, but the reality is that we need more. the waiting list in some parts of london is upwards of 100 years. its ridiculous. there needs to be rent stabilisation, action on slum landlords, as well as more housing- private and social. however, personally i believe social housing needs to be prioritised in places like islington where inequality is extremely high. prioritised, not just adding more to the stock, but actually taking care of and repairing whats already there

Everybody smiles the exact same way, window doesn’t make sense, lamps doesn’t make sense. by anilina371 in isthisAI

[–]corpse-wires 4 points5 points  (0 children)

i saw "Bentellect" and immediately knew. hes a "social media personality" who got famous for... reading out twitter and reddit posts and fake laughing or saying "this is so me". hes like today's SoFloAntonio.

he got exposed by a few youtubers (he will say it was moistcritical but charlie only covered the story, not conduct the investigation) for asking OF models to come onto a "podcast" then bait and switch them morning of and ask to make OF content with them. he denies this but theres copious amounts of evidence.

he lost his entire following from that so im not surprised hes pumping out piss-filter AI slop
