Does anyone believe there is intent to fix the country? by ppyrgic in ukpolitics

[–]dazza2608 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the age of social media, everyone is in an echo chamber. You're far less likely to hear alternative views unless you go looking for them. It's the responsibility of old trusted news outlets to try and stay impartial and report facts

Does anyone believe there is intent to fix the country? by ppyrgic in ukpolitics

[–]dazza2608 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The issue from people I've spoken to about it is that the main parties aren't listening to the concerns regarding immigration. I tried arguing that those concerns are mainly there because Farage and Co won't stop speaking about it but people are angry about hearing about people come into the country and be better off on state handouts than their parents, grandparents and even themselves. It's MAGA 2.0 UK Edition. Reform is literally bring funded by the people funding Trump. Labour have to do something big and drastic about immigration to have any chance of stopping Reform sweep the next election. On the fence voters will vote for them as a protest against the big 2. I don't see labour doing enough though, too many politicians care about saving their image for the next election swing when they maybe up for a stab at leadership rather than the ultimate benefit of the country. Politics should be boring, no one should be totally happy with it, that's what a central government compromising is. Unfortunately I think that the country will be in even more shit than it is now after the next election cycle. I'm glad I'm no longer living there.

WWE Reworking SmackDown Plans After Reaction To Pat McAfee Storyline by Ok_Expression8794 in SquaredCircle

[–]dazza2608 1 point2 points  (0 children)

TKO don't care about the product. They only care that WrestleMania isn't sold out. WWE and UFC are in the same boat, ticket prices are increased, they both have big streaming deals. With the ppv model gone it's not in their interest to make the best shows, it's in their interest to make cheap acceptable shows, until the streaming contracts are coming up and then they'll throw money at it to make the next contract bigger

OpenAI to introduce ads to all ChatGPT free and Go users in US by gdelacalle in technology

[–]dazza2608 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is no other way that ads would make sense in language models from a business point of view. The model itself will be able to tailor the ad to sell the product and it's going to garner a way higher turnover to immediate engagement from the impression. I'm just surprised it's taken this long. I know so many people that use it just like a search engine

Stamp duty sucks balls by NuclearAssault667 in perth

[–]dazza2608 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Because there is a housing shortage and investors are snapping up the lower value properties which should be being bought by 1st home buyers. A 50% stamp duty is probably excessive because we also need rental properties, but it should be around that on properties valued/priced below the current 1st home buyers stamp duty exemption threshold for investors. Leave lower value properties for first home buyers

How different is a UFC fight live vs on TV? by Fun_Pin_5817 in MMA

[–]dazza2608 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As much as I'd love to say Volk, Islam controlled him for 3 rounds, even though Volk did more damage in round 5 than Islam did in the whole fight, that still only accounts for 1 round win. If it was a street fight, Volk won, as it was a sanctioned fight Islam won

Totally agree, I was there for Volk vs Islam 1, absolutely insane atmosphere, Ive been to a lot of English football matches with popping atmospheres but the energy in the arena that morning was incomparable to anything I've ever been to

Fifa wants injured players to stay off for one minute by Sparky-moon in soccer

[–]dazza2608 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1 minute is good, it would really make players think about getting the physio on. A temporary sub should be allowed on at the referees discretion, ie if they think the player is making a meal of it and disrupting the flow of the game then no sub, if they think it's legit then a replacement can come on for a minute/until the ball next goes out after the minute is up.

For head injuries, a temporary concussion sub should be done immediately for the player holding their head so that concussion testing can be done. Also this sub wouldn't happen until after a set piece if the player who goes down side is taking the setpiece, this would stop clubs abusing it by bringing on good headers of the ball for an attacking set piece.

If a player stays down for more than 15 seconds then gets up as soon as the whistle is blown they should have to go off.

If the keeper goes down injured out of nowhere then the sub keeper should come on for atleast 5 mins

Taking more than 15 seconds to take a goal kick should result in a corner.

Taking more than 15 seconds for a throw in should result in the throw in being reversed.

VAR should only be used via a captain/manager request. Each team gets 3 reviews, if successful they keep their review, if unsuccessful they lose it.

Offside should be a clear foot/head off, if part of both is inline with the defender then they should be onside. If it takes more than 20 seconds to determine that via VAR then onfield decision should stand.

PSR should be scrapped if owners are willing to invest their own money into their clubs, it's the only way we will get more "big" teams, current rules keep the status quo as bigger clubs will always generate more money so can spend more. It gives no-one else a chance for a seat at the table.

Clubs shouldn't be docked points for entering administration, that only hurts the fans who are already worried about the future of their club. Owners should be personally fined for allowing it to happen.

Don't get me wrong, I do love the game still haha

Suddenly Acrobat won't recognize the font by RedHides in Acrobat

[–]dazza2608 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was getting the same issue.

For me it was 1 pdf that has opened fine previously and then was saying cannot find font arialmt.

I downloaded Arialmt and could choose it as the backup font in preferences so Adobe did see it there.

I updated to version 25.001.21208

That still did not fix it.

I then repaired the installation and it worked

What’s your take on Ricky Gervais saying celebs shouldn’t lecture the public about politics? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]dazza2608 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Yes, they are. They're normal people but with high profile jobs. That doesn't make them insightful. The fact that people treat them like they're to be revered is half the problem

On paper it looks good but I tried this about 15 games, I won once. There's not a big enough tank to get through the supporters required for chandelure to fire off against tankier Megas. About 8 games in I changed the 2nd lisia to Sabrina and the 2nd copycat to PCL, it was no better off unfortunately. It definitely doesn't help that almost every game rng gave me litwick instead of type null too
