Thanks

Lemmy is obviously very triggered by what you’re saying, presumably because speaking against lockdowns and furlough is very controversial. But you are largely correct.

COVID cost the UK in the ball park of £360 billion, some estimates go as high as £410 billion, most of that was printed money. You can’t inject that much in to the economy all at a time where there is comparatively very little productivity and then not expect significantly higher levels of inflation, it’s economics 101.

About half the sum in the headline, maybe a little more, can be directly attributed to how we dealt with COVID.

Even it was AVNJ, you shouldn’t let some random strangers on the internet ruin things you like. Every one has a skeleton in the closet but if you like the videos, watch them.

What’s syncthing?

Why is AI bad?

I mean it’s not perfect, but it’s only going to get better.

I think despite the downsides of the internet that it’s clearly overwhelming good for society.

The amount of landys I’ve seen off the road in snowy/icy conditions is hilarious.

I’d guess it’s a combination of them not being as good as their reputation and the false sense of security that they give the drivers.

It’s my opinion that a huge proportion of people that identify with Reform will get cold feet in the ballot box and decide to stick with what they know.

I thought you were talking about disposable vapes, if not, apologies.

Buy a reusable one

That’s not a very nice thing to say about Jacob.

Do you remember when their protest outside the HQ of BP made the news? Me neither, but I’m sure the high rollers on their 6, 7, 8 figure salaries felt terribly inconvenienced!

I don’t have to agree with their methods or their ideology to recognise their right to protest. We’re talking about dyed cornstarch here, it’s not like they blew the thing up.

Only $7.2M? Can we start a go fund me? Ex PM’s shouldn’t be living in absolute poverty.

I’m not taking the bait. There’s obviously many worse countries than the UK to be trans in and like I’ve already said, the UK isn’t perfect but it wouldn’t be as diverse as it is without being as accepting as it is.

You can reply to this if you want, but don’t expect me to reply in turn, this is my final statement on the matter.

Yep, it’s a really stupid take. If your worst enemy likes strawberry ice-cream, does that stop it from tasting good?

Why is it sus?

Are you one of the people that thinks criticism of Israel’s foreign policy = antisemitism?

You’ll find that whilst far from perfect, that the UK is one of the most accepting and diverse populations on earth.

Who made you ambassador for the UK? I’m in the UK and I don’t hate them.

The whole point of protest is to cause disruption, you’re not meant to like it, that’s the point!

Pedant here. You can touch this mushroom, just don’t eat it!

Still waiting for this to return to the UK and I’m absolutely furious that it wasn’t so popular that it became a standard menu item.
