A woman on the tube berated me for giving a fiver to a beggar and then hopped off the train at Farringdon to “make a report” to the one loving copper working the underground today. I thought you Londoners stayed out of other people’s business?

Highly doubtful she's a Londoner - the local language is composed of looking down at your phone, passive-aggressive tutting, and a barely audible mumbled "sorry".

On the subject of peace and friendship, I found out something really cool the other day. You know the 1977 Voyager probes? On board, each has a Golden Record, with a bunch of music, songs, speech etc. The first track is a greeting from Earth, you know the stuff, we come in peace and friendship and so on; it was spoken by a dude called Kurt Waldheim, the then-secretary-general of the UN.

It was discovered in the 1980s that Waldheim had lied about his military service during World War 2 - he'd actually been part of the bureaucracy managing "population shipments" in Eastern Europe, had been awarded a medal by the fascist Croatian government during the Second World War for services in "resettling" parts of the Serbian population, and almost certainly knew about the Jasenovac camp. America then put him on a no-entry list as federal statute prohibited anyone who participated in Nazi war crimes from entering the country.

So, in millions of years, when the sun expands and burns all trace of our species from this blighted planet, our last testament and legacy will be an unprosecuted Nazi war criminal saying "We step out of our solar system into the universe seeking only peace and friendship". Sweet dreams!

No worries, if there's any spacefaring alien civilisations out there they'll just get our radio wave broadcasts and mark Sol as a no-go area

So my dea dear sister's birthday is tomorrow and has asked that instead of giving her gifts we donate to a fundraiser she is doing. Which is all very nice, but she's raising money for PETA UK. I don't want to be a dickhead to my sister but I also don't want to give money to those wankers. What do?

Depends heavily on what kind of relationship you have with your sister.

For example with my siblings I could tell them "don't be a loving wanker, PETA is loving terrible you idiot" without fear of offending them, but if that's not a possibility then politely tell them you've been involved with another charity and tell them you donated there instead, or if you have a weird distant relationship just tell them you did and don't I guess

Lol, so I tried to deactivate my twitter, but can’t even do that because it’s suspended.

Surely this goes against some level of privacy and data retention laws...

GDPR means you can send Twitter a letter asking them to provide you with all the data they have gathered on you AND the data gathered by others while on their site - depending on how it's interpreted this could mean traffic logs with IPs, etc. Sending them a lawyered up letter would have to make some engineers miserable for several days.

The fact that this hasn't been abused yet is nothing short of a miracle - I'm surprised some online group hasn't organised to send these letters en masse and completely shut down a company's IT department for months honestly.

I'm not sure it's even really possible to go through life without doing some crimes occasionally. For starters, trespassing, petty theft, and various traffic laws seem like something you're almost bound to break as a kid. Add drug crimes, vandalism and (minor league) arson for slightly more adventurous kids.

Have you ever committed a crime? (Y/N)

YES - I stole a lovely plastic toy from kindergarten when I was 4

Unbeknownst to most people, Threads was just a guy with a video camera walking around Sheffield recording people going about their business.
