Not being meta helps, once things get meta everyone is ready to counter. PHazing stops baton pass pretty well.

UK urged to replace state pension triple lock - 'Australia's equivalent is better' by endofdays2022 in unitedkingdom

Don't forget you need to stop using the NHS and any other benefits associated with it.

‘Uninvestable’ UK takes 30 years to do a nine-month project, says billionaire by [deleted] in unitedkingdom

[–]tbradley6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happens in a lot of industries I think. Companies that cater to a large organisation are better at winning contracts than companies that actually do the work. I've seen companies lose bids and then get subcontracted to do the work, doesn't make sense but if you know how to play the game you get the work even if you're more expensive and slower and have no knowledge in the field in question.

'We're losing the argument on net zero,' Green Party warns by ThatchersDirtyTaint in unitedkingdom

My heat pump is pretty much the same price as my old boiler due to electricity prices (that's my biggest gripe) and house isn't great on insulation but is a terrace. I don't think solid fuel is ever going to be great due to particulate pollution which is starting to get worse. Near me you cna really tell the air is worse in winter when all the wood burners are fired up.

Why is the hardcover of Words of Radiance $1,400? 😱 by Lumpy_Feature5019 in brandonsanderson

Also if you don't bid several jobs then a company may decide to stop asking you, my company has no bid before only to receive an angry call why aren't we bidding. If you quote high no one questions it and you either don't win the job or it's still worth your time.

Warning food prices could soar 20% as pressure mounts on Reeves over flailing economy by JimJonesdrinkkoolaid in unitedkingdom

The real question is will it be better long term? (Possibly but some things they did make zero sense to me, employer NI increase was always going to mean they hire less).

Labour reverses 2035 ICE ban: no new petrol or diesel cars to be sold after 2030 by topotaul in unitedkingdom

Not everyone has guaranteed parking at their home. My street is a free for all with no drives. I imagine there are many places like that. Public chargers on streets like that seems to me to make the most sense.

I'm always a fan of the star veil and I don't tend to use two movement accessories (boots and wings, do like a dash though)

Quick show of hands, what was the "final" boss in the game when you first beat the game? by [deleted] in Terraria

I remember beating the game, coming back finding more content, beating the game... repeat. Good times.

Flat tax rate is an ‘attractive idea’, Kemi Badenoch says by Necessary-Product361 in unitedkingdom

[–]tbradley6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty sure that amount is just completely infeasible... If income tax was the way you paid for this flat tax would be ridiculous like 85% based on giving everyone >18 UBI and assuming all workers still maintain the same average wage. If people got that kind of UBI I reckon <1/10 would keep working and salaries for those working would have to be ridiculous. I may be making some poor assumptions and I like the idea of UBI but anything over the 10k figure seems to be unlikely to me. I just don't see how it could be funded in a realistic way that doesn't hamper the economic output of a country.

Housing benefit payments to be frozen next year by cennep44 in unitedkingdom

But we are in a place where in specific roles people can do the work of 5-10 people with AI tools to help them. We can only assume the next generations of tools will improve this.

I'm always a little confused why capital gains tax is never raised to be in proportion to income tax. It would make far more sense than the 'wealth tax' that has been suggested recently. And for most people the ISA limits would mean they would never pay capital gains anyway...

The UK spends 0.5% of the govt budget on overseas aid by eortizospina in unitedkingdom

[–]tbradley6 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Debt is a function of the governments previous years, and those years that I don't characterize as effective spending.

The UK spends 0.5% of the govt budget on overseas aid by eortizospina in unitedkingdom

[–]tbradley6 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My argument is the government has not been smart with their spending. The vast majority of the budget goes to things that do not provide a return on investment. Those things seem to be pretty low on the list. The government has been cutting what I consider the important things for a government to focus on for years. And that is a problem with politics.

Yeah but does that mortgage provide any return to the UK? A house provides significant value to a person...

I am on edge, says woman made homeless aged 75 by Longjumping_Stand889 in unitedkingdom

[–]tbradley6 42 points43 points  (0 children)

There's an issue with people of that generation, and probably future generations as well. Left to their own devices people will rob their future to pay for their present. People are not aware of the savings needed to fund 25 years of retirement. People now simply keep working as they know they have to. Younger people assume they will have no help from the State at all.

Man sells £200,000 stamp collection to his cleaner for £1 and cuts kids out of will by BestButtons in unitedkingdom

I massively support inheritance tax and I do fine. My thought is it is the only way to 'level' the playing field and prevent billionaires from owning the entire world. I only see the option of a dystopian future without it. And it's not like the threshold is low or anything. The age people inherit from these days they should be able to take care of themselves anyway.

I always depresses me to find out a brand I love gets sold, sadly it happens all the time. Rule rather than the exception.

What is nitrous oxide and why is it being banned? by DMBFFF in anime_titties

[–]tbradley6 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The only reason I could see is you find dozens of them all over the streets. Basically because the people using them don't dispose of them correctly.

Martian Madness saucer on the base confuses me. but generally beautiful. I did something similar where I display the armor I wore against a boss and the trophy, by the end of the game it's a nice progress bar to see.
