goddamnedtwisto posted:This is because apparently, for various complicated reasons mostly to do with BAOR not wanting to deal with multiple classes of driver, German driving licenses over a certain age legally count as C1 (LGV) in the UK - but that wouldn't entitle you to drive a tanker lorry or any kind of HGV, just cut out a couple of bits of the testing regime. I thought it was because all Germans had spent hours playing truck sims

goddamnedtwisto posted:Also someone at Facebook is getting sacked because it looks like they've just crashed their entire network - routes to it keep appearing and disappearing at random and it's causing big enough issues that some internet exchanges have blackholed them altoghether. Yeah, WhatsApp has been dead for the last 30 minutes too

ThomasPaine posted:Anyway, what I'm getting to is that now we have a solid vaccine rollout and everyone who wants one has been offered one, but I know so many people who are still losing their minds about getting on buses or whatever. I genuinely don't get it! You've had a vaccine that reduces covid's likelihood of killing you from 'very unlikely' to 'almost zero'. And yet you're still refusing to leave the house you're so terrified of catching it? And you're getting mad at other people trying to get back to a semblance of normality? I just... if you've had the vaccine what more can you do? You're basically fine. It turns covid into a potentially unpleasant but basically harmless cold. I fundamentally do not understand why anyone is remotely worried anymore. Yes, it might still kill you if you're very unlucky. You can also just die from a thousand other things on a daily basis. You might get cancer or fall over or crash a car or whatever. But for some reason you obsess over covid and covid alone, and insist on this quasi-wartime attitude of stoic self-denial and permanent isolation until what, we have 0 cases globally, as if that's even possible. And all that for something that, assuming you're vaccinated, is less of a threat than slipping in the shower? People are not rational actors, I’m absolutely not surprised that after the first few months of the pandemic where little was known about transmissibility of COVID and people were terrified of even leaving the house some are unable to just leave that behind. Knowing on an intellectual level how much safer it is now isn’t enough for everyone

Tsietisin posted:I think this is happening even earlier as parents are using these items to get a break from parenting. Having the tablet entertain the child instead of them. Im sure there’s a lot of instances of parent not wanting to just leave their kids to their own devices but being forced too by schools being closed but still being expected to work

If I win hundreds of millions I’d set up a fund to just give money to homeless people. We all know that giving them money does a lot more to help than any other measure and is probably cheaper to boot, I could probably end homelessness in Leeds and provide a concrete example of what could be done if the government committed funds to it

Jaeluni Asjil posted:I just don't believe this Special K thing. I think he made that up for some reason to make himself sound more interesting. Funny thing is I doubted for a moment that Special K had actually been on the market when he was born and I looked it up and it was launched only a couple of years before he was born. Which sadly makes it more plausible that he was telling the truth tbh, that it was still a ‘new’ thing so yeah maybe his parents did that

I’m sure being wealthy can’t make you happy but it surely can remove the two biggest sources of unhappiness, money insecurity and the need to endlessly work to live

feedmegin posted:When, to add, the proper ingredients are actually readily available. You can’t grow avocado in this country though, you’d have to fly it half way around the world. Like, the point of using local produce is for that reason, and to support local economies, both of which are good things.

The Question IRL posted:Okay. The idea that Dennis Hutchings was "silenced" before he could name names might be an attractive conspiracy theory.

peanut- posted:Criminal penalties for social media bosses if they host extremist content is an intriguing idea, on the basis that the one thing that might actually harm the Tories polling is YouTube being withdrawn from the UK. If we can use the same laws to force ISPs to stop serving the Mail Online then I’m all for it

Yeah this is something I’ve log thought, that liberals hate leftists so much because leftists actually believe the things that liberals only profess to and it makes them feel bad in ways they simply can’t admit to

big scary monsters posted:The climate is hosed, and we can acknowledge that it's hosed, but that's not a reason to say "Well guess we can just keep on going as before, it doesn't make a difference anyway." There are still degrees of hosed that we can choose between and the worst case scenario is considerably worse than the best case still possible. Hopeless doomerism is pointless, there is still plenty of meaningful work to do. It’s not that people have given up on being able to theoretically mitigate some outcomes, it’s that we all know there’s not a loving thing going to change the way the cunts who run things run things

fuctifino posted:I don't think words on paper matter anymore. My guess is that they are conditioning the gammon into accepting sanctions for breaking the NI protocol among other Brexit conditions, and labelling it up as though it is us who are in control or something. The same rumour goes around here too (Bradford) so I guess it makes sense that it makes it as far as Keighley too. No clue if there's any truth whatsoever to it but I know Bradford does have a lot of drug use, and random fireworks at all times of the year
