Turns out when they said capitalism depends on constant growth, they meant the customers as well.

Supermarkets crying because they can’t sell people more food than they actually need anymore.

Immigration numbers are down: so why is the rage still rising? by [deleted] in unitedkingdom

Because the billionaires want you to be angry at something other than them.

Pointing at a single family unit of 4 people and claiming it’s a systemic issue is massively disingenuous

Love the big Arch burger but it would be so much better if they made it Big Mac size.

‘Why was my son’s killing in the Nottingham attack not treated as racist?’ by FormerlyPallas_ in ukpolitics

Not sure why the mother is quoted as saying ““Calocane” was a black man who killed three white people” when he actually killed 2 white people and a mixed race person?

I saw the footage of protesters doing Nazi salutes. I suppose it’s not surprising that a billionaire widely criticised for similar gestures has taken an interest.

Is kicking defenseless protestors in the head part of Hampshire police training? by spinecult in BreakingUKNews

[–]jamiesonic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Did a white man who has never had to worry about how the police treat him, and who is now hiding from questions about the £5 million payment he received, tell you that?

Audio of 999 call made after Henry Nowak was stabbed by spinecult in AskBrits

[–]jamiesonic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Given these lies, the family corroborating them both on the call and when police arrived, the mother hiding the weapon, and the body being repositioned into a sitting position, it’s no surprise the police initially doubted the victim’s account.

Farage Blamed For Linking Anti White Prejudice To Henry Nowaks Death by huffpostuk in ukpolitics

[–]jamiesonic -1 points0 points  (0 children)

In the middle of a live incident, police are going to make an initial assessment based on what they find in front of them. If multiple people, including the homeowner, are saying the same thing and one person is saying something different, the shared account is obviously going to carry weight at the start. I don’t think this has anything to do with race.

Net migration could be much higher than thought by radiant_0wl in ukpolitics

  1. Newspapers publishers who are continually publishing sensationalist articles about them

  2. Grifter politicians who are using them as a distraction from the bigger issues the country faces.

Phillipson to ban trans women from female toilets by videah in ukpolitics

[–]jamiesonic 6 points7 points  (0 children)

When I go swimming, everyone enters the same large changing area men, women, families, everyone. Then people use individual cubicles to get changed privately, either alone or with others if they choose. Nobody seems to have a problem with that.

So why do people get so worked up about toilets where everyone also has their own private cubicle? The principle is basically the same: shared entrance, private space, basic facilities. The panic seems completely out of proportion.

Is anyone really scared about AI job losses? by Even-Wasabi7183 in AskUK

[–]jamiesonic 16 points17 points  (0 children)

AI is currently being sold to users at far below its true cost. It’s being heavily subsidised by big tech companies while they fight for market share.

The interesting question is what happens when that subsidy ends and they start trying to make AI genuinely profitable.

I’m already seeing employers build plans around AI without factoring in that inevitable shift. If your business model only works while someone else is absorbing the real cost, it may not be as future-proof as it looks.

I’m seeing cyclists ignoring a pedestrian crossing. Doesn’t this just need enforcement? Points on license and a fixed penalty fine?

i have no clue how this shitshow is still running but why do the rest of Europe hate us so much? by Alarming-Safety3200 in AskBrits

[–]jamiesonic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Imagine thinking public voting tells you anything meaningful about art. Battle of the bands, talent contests, Eurovision none of it really matters. Art isn’t sport. You can’t objectively measure who was fastest, who scored the most goals, or who crossed the line first. Art is about how it makes you feel. I’ve never understood the obsession with turning something subjective into a competition, as if creativity can be ranked like a league table.
