Having a local councillor who is vocal in advocating for something like immigration for example, will be valuable to immigrants. As well as being a voice heard higher up, a supportive councillor inevitably means a community minded to vote for them, and to be supportive themselves.

True to an extent. Certainly I don’t think local politicians focused on international issues first will be very successful, less so promising things outside their control, but there is still value in addressing those issues.

My grandparents lived in Innisfail, until they died. I used to dread the long road trips north to see them. The town flower is mildew.

My ads get weird. After a campaign of making mobile games and just about everything else, Facebook gave up. I’ve had ads for school lockers, industrial quantities of seeds and ram semen, and a full spectrum of underwear, ranging from sexy to strange.

They are accessibility features. Buttons are easier to press than physically manipulating a lock, and the larger room is to fit a wheelchair. It’s about giving people the dignity of being independent. People want it. Don’t assume no one wants it until you have spoken to all 8 billion of us.

It’s funny how the NHS is such a beloved institution, that even as a outsider who has never been to the UK, I still care deeply about the NHS. Even more so possibly than my own local public healthcare system.

No, the reverse. Commuting should be done by public transport. Leave cars for recreational use.

I wear the same work uniform every day, and on my days off wear clothes very similar to my uniform. Two of my shirts are in fact from a work trial of a different supplier for the uniforms. They are literally work uniforms sans branding.

You can now schedule text messages which makes this easier.

Oh fuck off with your differently-abled, handycapable nonsense. Failing to recognise and call things a disability with mocking inspiration porn motifs makes it harder for people who need supports to get it.

One bloke I still watch today responded to a parent’s email saying something along the same lines with an invoice for babysitting. As a parent it’s up to you to make sure what you allow your kids to watch is appropriate.

Oh please. Petty revenge against a partner and what you left in a random letterbox as a kid trumps all the dull opinions about musicians and bands I’ve never heard of.

I have a sign on my fence with my house number and street name, added below that it’s not the adjacent street, because I kept getting deliveries for the same number on the next street over.

Oh, you know, insider trading, deporting citizens to slave labour camps, just shenanigans.

I recall hearing that one of the Nordic countries makes all fines means tested.

I wonder if that’s on purpose, to have so many scandals that it’s impossible to keep track of, dividing the opposition to fight back on so many different fronts.

To true, but it’s always funny to say I don’t want to be reminded of the traumatic experience when I decline their offer of a receipt.

Theres an argument made about safety, but it’s a flawed argument. Tyre noise accounts for most car noise, and all cars regardless of fuel type have tyres. At the low speeds where tyres are quiet, EVs are already mandated to create artificial noise as a safety device.

Car noise ruins cities. I live beside a railway line, trains go past seven meters from my window, yet the ‘quiet’ suburban street on the other side is responsible for all of the noises that disturb my deaf wife. I can hear the roar of the motorway a kilometre and a half away all day and night.

It was not long ago that a quiet car was a mark of excellent engineering and quality. Rolls-Royce Motor Cars were bragging about how you could hear the ticking of the dashboard clock over the engine noise. Now days it’s electrics and for various reasons quietness is attacked not applauded.

I did it naked.
Now I’m no longer asked to clean the kitchenette at work.

Oh I need more context here for sure. From my point of view I’ve always said driving an electric bus is less fatiguing than sitting on a noisy and vibrating diesel 7+ hours a day. What makes your electrics in Canada so bad?

Aside from once every couple years when I talk to the bank to renegotiate my mortgage repayment, please the benefit to me. The property value has gone up, and so has the council rates I pay every quarter.

That’s funny, I just finished a rewatch of the Star Wars prequel trilogy.

The high prices as an owner don’t even benefit me. I pay more taxes, I can’t sell and make a profit because I will have to buy another ridiculously expensive house, with higher taxes as part of the sale. High housing prices only benefit developers and investors.

The massive amount of help I had from my dad to buy a house in 2019 just before COVID hit would not be enough these days, now prices have doubled here. It was an absolute fluke we bought when we did, and had we even waited a few months, chances are I’d be stuck renting until I got my inheritance.

I would also like to stage a coup to fix some things with my local transit system. I’d love to be a Napoleonic figure and seize control of the country as my own empire. I’ll happily retire to exile on a little island afterwards, so long as I can have a working museum tram line across the island.

No, I still don’t like it. I don’t like anything bitter.
