Hate her, but can't disagree that the two-child benefit cap is fucking awful for families that need the help. Those kids don't deserve to be punished for being born. Something, something, broken clock.

Note: I do not have or want children, I just have empathy for them because I grew up in poverty myself. I still think she's vile.

I don't think this is what the smart people meant when they said neuroplasticity is a good thing...

If you're in the UK, Dualit kettles have repairable heat elements and are built to last. Don't think they have an international version sadly.

I mean, the bar is on the ground at this point at best.

It was a painful process, having my love of Pokémon games slowly stripped away until I finally gave up on them. It's hard giving up on something that you've loved from childhood. Pokémon used to be my comfort game and it's now unplayable trash.

The only reason I still have my Switch at all right now is the Zelda franchise because I currently lack the means to emulate. And the occasional sale item from the eShop because I'm not paying full price for a Switch game ever again after they ruined Pokémon.

I'm surprised no one's brought up the hellscape we know as the Nintendo eShop. It's >90% trash.

I don't think there are any vegans in The British Miracle Meat but I could be wrong. It says a lot about the state of everything that people actually thought it was real!

Ew, two ugly people both inside and out.

This. I worked in a call centre for a while. Service was not the priority, speed was. I got in trouble for staying on the line to actually resolve a customer's issue because it took a long time (basically ended up having to do a conference call with the third party who had fucked up). I left that job ASAP because fuck that.

In descending order of good privacy:

  • Tor (not necessary for the majority of use-cases)
  • Hardened Firefox (you can find tutorials for this with a quick Google)
  • Mullvad
  • Librewolf
  • Brave (yes there's controversy about crypto and the founder being a dick, it's still miles better than Chrome)
  • Everything else
  • Chrome itself (seriously, don't use Chrome)

My number 1 recommended plugin for privacy and getting rid of ads is always ✨ uBlock Origin ✨ (not uBlock, that's not the one by the OG dev).
