Are you implying that advocating a negotiated settlement is a radical leftist position?

UX should always cater for accessibility without the need for AI.

it just seems mad to me that we've spent years and years across the west going "well christ, people sure don't like immigration", but to the best of my knowledge no-one has very actively tried to defend the policy choice to the electorate over 4/5 years, just to see what'd happen, feels v

My personal favourites are the ones who say 'not sure' to the question. Like, my dude, how much time do you need?

Being tricked by a woman is the ultimate insult for these dudes. It's the same reason they're all now obsessed with not paying for dates or honestly just being kind or literally anything else that they can frame in that way.

There's so much feeding in to it but misogyny feels undeniable. The idea they could be attracted to a trans woman (ergo GAY) or be fooled into respecting a man who is really just a woman are both simply intolerable to people who grew up always being right, while yearning for masculine acceptance.

Really depends if the docs solve the issue or not 😂
When I was first learning the code it was annoying because docs usually assume a reasonably high level of familiarity with ancillary tech that made parsing solutions not always straightforward.

It's simply staggering that someone with that CV was surprised to find out it's possible to be both employed and homeless.

One third of children in the UK live in poverty. Negativity is warranted.

That interview made me so angry. Lots of people have shitty views about immigration because the rightwing press suffer no consequences for purposely conflating "legal" & "illegal" and this asshole doubles down and pretends persecution of a tiny no. of people is a Labour "VALUE"? Fuuuuuuuuuuuuck him.

Fuck her. The headline is an absolutely fair representation of her writing and it's garbage. Not only is she providing "feminist" cover for a rapist, it's a rallying cry for the perverse who treat values as expendable in exchange for power.

Loooots of men refuse to accept rejection and when they experience it, they pull out whatever verbal insults they can to punish the women. Literally every woman has experienced some form of this guy. Misogynists are usually racist and vice versa.

And to think that the last 20 years I've actually deluded myself into thinking I was contributing to the economy. Who can I write too for a refund?

Have you read any Anthony Doerr? Cloud Cuckoo Lane is incredible. Also Trust by Hernan Diaz is excellent. The plot itself isn't "speculative" but the construction of the narration is really unique.

"Her recently acquired view that it's a scandal, having spent a lot of time on social media over Christmas... Not once in eight years did she stand here and say what she's just said. They want a national inquiry... We had a national inquiry. Twenty recommendations. Not a single one implemented."

The state of those potatoes is shocking.

Lol Walsall (pop ~200k) v Chicago (pop ~2.5m) is an insane comparison. Walsall is much more comparable to somewhere like Grand Rapids, MI where public transport is considerably less available than any British city I've ever lived in. I've also never felt unsafe on the Edinburgh tram but on the L...?

Need to distinguish if it's the vengeful one who, if you're bad, leaves coal instead of gifts or the vengeful one who damns you to burn for all eternity.
