Dev continues to maintain that the majority of them are basically radicalised by unfiltered tiktok which is just prank videos and Andrew Tate.

This sounds like total speculation and our generation's version of "TV/D&D/video games is corrupting today's youth". Like yeah those shits definitely exist but I'd want proof to show they exist in any larger number than other generations

I suspect it's more that those kids are the very vocal minority and the other kids are going along with it so they don't get targetted.

Unfiltered tiktok is much, much worse than twitter though, even new Musk flavoured twitter.

Unfiltered TikTok is just as capable of taking you down a hole of queer anarcho-communism. The algorithm is incredibly effective but all it does is respond to your own interests.

That reminds me of something else that's been baffling me lately. It seems mad how much people gamble. If I'm in the queue at the kiosk in a supermarket more often than not there's someone in front of me just spending like, 15 quid or more on scratchcards and lottery tickets. And it's just crazy. Surely if you spend that much you must see that you keep losing it. I get that gambling addiction is a thing but that's a significant amount of money. loving garbage society that has people that desperate to get out of it that it has them spending money that would actually make a difference on a hopeless bid to get out of it.

Makes me think of all those scumbag labour MPs in bed with the gambling lobbyists. Not enough rope in the world to right the misery they bring.

Just think of gambling and paying for the rush of being about to gain or lose something

But like, I've seen people not even seemingly experience that, like they'll just tell the cashier to scratch a bunch of them off for them, or my grandmother when she was alive on the fruit machines just shoveling money into it with a completely blank look. If there's feeling there I can't see it. I assume that's the addiction part but that's why it seems hosed up. And like, if you didn't spend the money you would have the money. That's the thing it's depriving people of the actual benefit of the money, you could buy yourself two lots of fish and chips for £15 and they would last longer, feed you, and surely be more enjoyable.

When you're doing it repetitively like that you enter a flow state so you're trying to maintain that for as long as possible. It's a form of escapism just like getting pissed or getting high and that's where the addiction comes in

Honestly, your cat won't give a poo poo. She'll be pleased when you're home, but honestly they're not that smart even if you think they are. As long as they're warm and fed and have somewhere appropriate to take a poo poo, their needs are met.

Your cat will spend 2 minutes wondering where their pet human has gone before getting distracted by a cozy blanket

Maybe some misinformed Lib Dem members/voters who haven't kept up with their party's policies at all in the last decade, but the actual leadership are all tories and will enact tory policies except maybe PR for obvious reasons. I don't even believe they'll ever try to get some of their non-poo poo policies like drug reform through.

There are two things to consider when choosing who to vote for:
1) do they have good policies?
2) do I trust them to actually follow through?

2 is a no for both lib dems and labour atm, even if 1 somehow squeeks through.

Look I just really want a skills wallet ok?

Last year I did some quick calculations based on sales figures and how much he claimed to have raised for charity. I don't remember the exact figures, but in his first year he raised something like £85k, and by the same metric, going by claimed sales numbers, last year it would have been about £130k.

Which is nice, but seems questionably low for the top spot on the chart.

No one buys records any more and there's no money in streaming
