As a white heterosexual man I can confirm I have never been discriminated against for being white or heterosexual
As someone whose first name sounds like a 'black' name, I can confirm I have indeed been discriminated against when people knew that before knowing I was white ... funny how that works

It's very true
Any sufficiently advanced technology will be indistinguishable from magic ...
And for the vast majority of the population most science and technology is indistinguishable from magic
So as they understand neither, they value magic just as much

It's a very viable business strategy, and a good scam one too
Every "subscription" service is relying on people signing up and not cancelling even though they don't use it
Multiple businesses rely on whales buying stuff they don't need or even want and sometimes just get billed for

It's also a wonderful newbie discovers software engineering story
He literally has done what every junior dev does, and fallen into all the same pitfalls
From his own descriptions he has made their software infinitely worse, and that's without what he is failing to say

That's a very European thing generally

Buy fully ripened Roma tomatoes and you won't need sugar, they will be deliciously sweet
Similarly buy top end expensive passata and it will be naturally sweet as it will contain ripe tomatoes
Ripening requires time and you can't cold store the fruits, so it costs
comment in response to
post
A lot of good points in there, but the key one about "why put sugar in pasta sauce" is missing the most important reason ...
Most tomatoes you can buy (and most tin toms) are just not very good, so sauces using them are very meh
They lack the natural sweetness that fully ripened tomatoes have

Look, I get your thinking, and Labour has been a massive disappointment
But the last time a third party got some power they brought in austerity and nearly destroyed the UK
And PR promises plenty more of that type
