What if this whole thing was a ruse and they're keeping them up there because they know they're dangerous aliens wearing human skin?

But if they realise that we know this they'll send a signal to their mother ship and kill us all.

So we're holding them up there while we come up with a plan...

They wanna ruin AI like they ruined their Chocolate after they got bought out by that shite company Kraft?

Cadburys tastes like crap now the same way American chocolate does, such a bloody shame too :-(

I've managed to avoid finding out what the slang term skibidi means so far, somehow.

I guess it just doesn't come up in the media I consume. Not heard Kruggsmash or Technology Connections mention it yet :-P

But yes slang aside, I've never enjoyed toilet humour, even as a child. Maybe because I'm very hygienic? It just disgusts me, haha. So this is good news.

Phew, good thing this essential national backbone public service is owned and run by a foreign billionaire.

It's for the best obviously, or our government wouldn't do it, duh.

WhatsApp? The instant messenger boomers use on their phones?

Damn, who saw that coming.

Gosh you're right, I'm so special and kind and humble, I deserve to be recognised for how extremely humble I am ♥️

In seriousness, I have good days and bad days, sometimes I'm grumpy or pretty my anger about a bag thing happening to people get the better of me and go into my words, but I do care about everyone, I do want a better world and an end to bigotry, fascism, racism, techno-feudalism, late stage capitalism, and if I could own my own house this lifetime that'd be great too, for my family's sake...

I'm just so angry at the state of things, so disenfranchised, so fed up, and places like this are where I actually see all of the articles and posts about this awful stuff, not to mention actually running in to bootlickers and scummy people. It's hard not to get grumpy and angry while I'm here :-(

I might take a break from this stuff next year, I'm not sure yet. Staying informed feels important, but at the same time feels futile and damaging to my mental health, so I might just let myself be ignorant for a while, you know?

Anyway, thanks for the kind words :-)

Uh, what?

What makes you think Christmas is for kids? Just because they enjoy it? Shall we ban movies, video games, etc for adults too?

I've never heard someone suggest that adults shouldn't enjoy their hard earned holidays, and spread joy with gifts and such to each other, because they're no longer 12 or whatever.

What makes you think my and my family and friends enjoyment of Christmas is less important than slightly reducing how much money some shop might make for a few weeks?

I'll keep enjoying the small joys of life, thanks. Kids can sod off.

Don't forget that Russian riot police have in the past been sent to the front lines in Ukraine, so I suppose one could see it as any military barracks at this point :-(

What if we gained these closer more beneficial relations with Europe by getting together into some sort of organised union of European states?

naaaaah, nobody'd ever try that! Let's do it the hard stupid way instead.

I agree but also how the heck did you forget Reach! 😅

What an absolutely phenomenal single player game in the series, and absolutely fantastic multiplayer to boot! :-D

Gosh the Reach score lives rent free in my head all these years later.... ♥️

Not bad! Is that actual sliced sausage or is it black pudding?

Gotta have some pudding with a full English, and preferably a couple of pork sausages too, and if you're really hungry throw some hash browns on there :-D

To be fair, lots of things exist that we can't see. Radio waves, nuclear radiation, DNA, my hope for my future, etc.

We can measure these things as a civilisation of course, but as individuals most of us will never have the equipment or know-how, and instead rely on being told these things we can't see are real and are the cause of X or Y that we observe in life.

I'm with you though this is very stupid, yeah.
