I read it, and you summed it up nicely tbh

bruh

That’s a lot of cope babe, are you ok? & thanks for posting Linus’ ravings to prove the other guy right

Braver than the troops

I mean what else is supposed to be the outcome of decades of defunding social services? There is no choice (for you or me)

I’m guessing by “reform” they mean taking the whole thing private? What is it with these ghouls having such a hard on for the us

So when rich people do this it’s called “innovative” and “disrupting the market”, but if you do it FBI busts down your door for being a criminal. Sounds like freedom to me jack

I think the limitations of not setting up port forwarding are that the upload speed is garbage and only one person can download from you at a time, but it’s still doable from what I understand

GOOD post, thanks OP. I’ve been meaning to try out i3 for a while, so maybe I’ll give it a go on my lappy where there’s less stakes if I fuck something up

Oh pwease Sir Kier, won’t you waise the wents for us poor wanwords being wavaged by infwation?? 🥺🥺

Excited for trans people using the toilet to be included under “violence against women and girls” /s

None (unless we’re talking about billionaires). GDP is a dogshit predictor of living standards, but gets presented as such by media pundits, who try to make the everyday person empathise with the ultra-rich

I suppose the bosses and managers can breathe a sigh of relief for the moment, but I highly doubt this will translate into an increase in living standard for those actually struggling with the “cost of living” (what a cynical phrase)

Worrying tbh that they want someone even more malleable than “peace at any cost” Zelensky, who immediately became a US puppet after the final Ukrainian election.

Definitely no way that English people might be racist on their own

lol, you thought you’d play down the effectiveness of Pal Action by comparing them to an epic anti-imperialist struggle that has withstood settler colonialism for the last 400 years? weird.

Either way, pal action have already permanently shut down multiple Elbit Systems weapons factories in the UK to date and have inspired similar groups in france and the US. Last time I checked this is working way better than emailing your MP, or even marching in the centre of town every week (not that people shouldn’t be doing that as well).

If you have any tips for Pal Action on how they could be more effective then join lmao

Palestine Action is doing something about it

So excited for our new red tory government

I do think this isn’t a bad idea for an article, there are definitely things on the up and up - it’s just kind of infuriating to see a person with this perspective being the one doing it. I want to see a disabled/queer/immigrant/Roma perspective on what particular aspects of British society are improving, because any of those will much more insightful than a person comfortably cushioned from even some of the milder effects of brutal govt policy. My suspicion however, is that very few people from any of those groups would be willing to write something like this right now

Austerity develops resilience in white middle class cishet women, but not without countless death and suffering of immigrants, trans children and racialised people in it’s wake. But if you just ignore those things as a premise for your piece then, yeah, things aren’t all that bad like everyone always says. Absolute zero sense of solidarity.

>Using an app for medical care (unheard of back in 2009, when nobody I knew yet owned a smartphone – and still not routinely used in France), I’ve had to ask for clarification several times on how to get a repeat prescription. But staff have been friendly even in the face of my incompetence, and never once have I been made to feel the nuisance I probably am.

The fact that even in the face of bad experience with a technology, this person’s techno-optimism just leads them to blame themselves for not being competent enough to use a technology… No! These apps are shit, they sell your data and they’re completely inaccessible to the increasing homeless population in this country, there’s no upside here.

She just keeps pointing out a really shit thing, then says “but I’m shocked my supermarket hasn’t devolved into chaos and anarchy and people still make small talk at me.” Like what’s actually our standard? Oh it’s that that particular thing doesn’t affect the writer of the article, right.

Edit: I guess I mostly don’t like that the Guardian considers this a valuable voice that merits featuring in their publication at a time when political grifters are grifting their hardest at the expense of every minority, but idk why I expect anything from that terf nest, so that’s for me to unpack
