Alterations to a comfort food! That’s exactly a problem I’m having at the moment.
Do any of you know if they’ve changed the recipe to Cadbury’s Fingers in the last few months? I used to always have a box in, but they’ve been tasting weird the last few months - so much so that I didn’t buy them in the last big shop.
I didn’t see that coming.
Normally I wouldn’t expect either side to move an inch towards creating common ground, but this has been a strange few weeks. Labour are now predicted to win the next General Election, and Andy Burnham is the only leader with a positive score on the option poll.
I wouldn’t be surprised if both Reform and Restore think that this might be in their mutual interest.
You do what you’ve got to do.
Frankly I’m a little bemused by you framing being expected to behave like a well-adjusted adult as “tone policing”. Then again, your opening gambit was essentially a “well if you love it so much why don’t you marry it?” kind of reply, so maybe I should have realised it was a non-starter…
I won’t say I’ll miss further interactions with you, but I’ll wish you well nonetheless.
Nobody here is arguing in favour of the downfall of civilisation.
Look, if you want to act like a dick towards strangers then Twitter/X is right across the hall. You’ll have a field day.
Otherwise, maybe try to stop projecting and start acting a bit more civilly? You know, like we do in civilisations.
Let’s not be mean to strangers on the internet, eh?
I mean, Google has over 90% of the global search engine market share - I think it’s safe to assume that most of those users are not MAGA.
Sorry, no can do. I’ve never had an Instagram account, a Facebook account, a Bluesky account, a Snapchat account or anything like that.
My entire social media presence is/was a Twitter account that I abandoned even before Elon Musk bought it (because Twitter was turning into a tyre fire even back then), a Reddit account that I abandoned during the great exodus, and a YouTube account that I posted a single video on in 2012. And this, of course.
Also… Are you genuinely using the fact that someone uses Google as evidence that they’re a bad person?
All that following Charlie Kirk proves is that she clicked a button once. Literally that’s the sum total of the evidence.
It’s entirely possible that she’s not even aware of what her “public perception” from a few internet oddbods even is.
Look, I’ve been called MAGA in the past and I:
The internet is full of people who are eager to assume the worst about people. The world is horrible enough - if this woman hasn’t actually done or said anything bad, then let’s leave her be.
Labour nearly had it in the first round, with 47% of the vote already.
Reform would have needed virtually every single person to have put them as their second choice.
That said, the number of second round votes to each party were surprisingly close…
FIRST ROUND VOTES
SECOND ROUND ADDITIONAL VOTES

Sorry, but this is bad form.
The onus of proof is on you proving she’s MAGA, not on her proving she’s not.
To do something like this, something she will likely never see, and say that you’ll take it down if she proves your theory otherwise, is unfair.
Kudos for the seamless edit, but it’s not a cool thing to do.
I meant these days, not in the Dune universe. Stuff like people passing AI-generated stuff as human-generated, and businesses replacing workers with AI.
Neural networks have existed for decades, but it’s only in the last few years have companies started replacing people with the technology en masse.
That’s a weird coincidence - I literally read that exact passage to my kids a few days ago!
The listener replies by saying it should have said ‘Thou shalt not make a machine to counterfeit a human mind’ which I think is doubly relevant these days.
Very much agree. As a UK bod, American chocolate bars generally taste like poison and smell like sick.
My kids were big fans of Mr Beast when the chocolate bars came out, so of course we had to buy it when we saw it. And honestly, it was actually really good.
(forgets that heterosexual women also exist)
My friend, nobody is blaming you - it’s a failing of the language. I was just explaining where the misunderstanding likely occurred.
I don’t think that’s the part of the sentence that’s the issue - I read it the same way as the previous poster, and realise what the problem is. You said:
But in every other civilized country they wouldn’t have to be able to self-assess something like that
On first read, it sounded like you’re saying “they wouldn’t have been able to self-assess something like that”, whereas you’re actually saying “they wouldn’t have needed to self-assess something like that”.
Please remember that this is an internet where seemingly half of the Americans we meet are 100% convinced that the US is the only place in the world with cars, electricity, running water, etc. The assertion that the US is the only country with nurses capable of self-assessing injuries totally seems like something that someone would post.
In the UK the mountain rescue air ambulance is free to use. As far as I understand it, that the pilots are actually RAF pilots assigned to the rescue teams as part of their training. Putting them in the rescue helicopters kills two birds with one stone. Many rescuers are volunteers, and the service is funded via tax and public donations.
There are definitely a couple of bits of the trailer that are pretty jarring, but the starter Pokémon feel like a welcome return to form - they’re clever and distinctive.
The bits that stood out to me as really weird in the trailer:
None of those things reflect on using AI to create the actual game, though.
Another touch typer here. I cut my teeth on online MUDs in the 90s - literally a type-fast-or-your-character-dies situation.
Very sus.
One weird turn of phrase she uses is “factual information that I believed to be true”. It sounds like she used her considerable clout to make a false claim about someone and is outraged that there are repercussions.
The fact that only GB News has picked it up speaks volumes.
