Ah yes, there’s famously never been fires in brick buildings.

You knew your actions could easily lead to a massive fire and loss of life, you said so yourself, and still you chose to do it repeatedly anyway.

Now you don’t seem to be showing much remorse, which is unfortunate. I guess I just hope you’re a bit less of a piece of shit.

The content of your reply to me was the weird thing, not the fact that you replied itself…

Weird reply, in that case.

I never said he was a piece of shit.

John Lennon admitted to hitting an ex girlfriend. He came out, apologised for it, and said he was trying to better himself but he had a whole load of problems.

Bizarrely, his ex later came out and said John didn’t beat her and that she didn’t know what he was talking about.

Ringo has also admitted to hitting a girlfriend before.

You literally said you nearly burned the school down multiple times.

That’s true. And I’m not usually a massive fan of Doombar but it was £1.49 in a spoons (relatively) near me recently, so I couldn’t say no.

I’m not surprised. All my costs are going up and I have to make cutbacks. When a single pint is £5-6.50, that’s something I can’t justify.

I do agree that the supposed justification for this change sounds quite daft and chest-thumpy… almost to the point of sounding like political satire.

He’s definitely playing it up in that way because he’d be crucified by the tabloids and Twitter for saying anything less on VE day, which is unfortunate, but I guess it’s the political climate we live in.

But the actual law itself seems quite standard. It’s not unusual at all for climbing on statues and monuments to be an offence, here or anywhere else. It’s particularly touchy when it’s one related to WW2, and it wouldn’t be completely unreasonable to argue this one is.

I guess it shows why I could never be a politician lol. I’d probably say something like ok, ban climbing these statues, fair enough, but piss off with the putting words in my mouth. Churchill was a complicated man and I should be free to criticise him until the cows come home, and then I’d immediately face immense backlash, the usual GB News ghouls would be calling for my head, and I’d be ousted from [party].

It’s already illegal to climb on a bunch of statues, memorials, and the like, and that’s not just a UK thing, that’s a most places thing.

I’m somewhat surprised people were allowed to climb this one.

Chlorinated chicken isn’t happening, it’s been ruled out time and again.

Food standards and animal welfare is something that’s taken quite seriously by both our politicians and our populace. The EU has strict food standards and yet our minimum standards are substantially higher than theirs (somewhat surprising, I know, but it’s true). So to be blunt, I’m not worried at all about food standards.

I’m far more worried about other things. Regulation of big tech, data/privacy laws, further rigging IP laws (especially software patents, which are mostly banned in the UK) in a way that benefits US giants.

This damage limitation is, I guess, a good change. Although I’m more pleased about the other stuff going on, we’re shifting to become more self-reliant on some things (particularly defence), and cooperating with continental Europe more again.

I just hope that by next election there’s serious calls to do things like rejoining the Customs Union.

Correction: they’ve been doing it since Windows 8.

Windows 8 came out 13 years ago.

They literally do not lol

In game purchases in steam games don’t have to pay Valve, nor does Valve prevent you from uploading your game to other stores, which is what this ruling was about.

Maybe if you send enough fan mail to Tim Cook

Clearly you didn’t understand the point I was making. I never said you weren’t allowed to like a product.

The article exposes the title as a lie. People shouldn’t reward that kind of journalism by reading it.

Congrats, you sound exactly like some Apple fanboy.

Huh? EVs are more popular than they have ever been, and most of the developed world is edging ever closer to ICE bans for newly sold cars (most are 2035).

Why are you being so ideological about the fuel type people’s cars use?

People frequently act like Lemmy users are different to Reddit users, but that really isn’t the case. People act the same here as they did/do there.

Good.

If Tommy Robinson was calling for people to murder their MP, people would rightly be giving him shit for it and calling for him to be charged for inciting violence.

To apply a different rule to these people would be pure hypocrisy.
