Not sure I’ve ever even met anyone who’d care if Northern Ireland split off. Maybe some Rangers fans?
There were literally decades of violence and terrorism over that, so clearly someone cares.
That being said, But then I’m Welsh and live in England, I do not have a horse in this race. If the people in NI want to unify with Ireland and regain all their EU citizenship benefits as well as removing the whole “Northern Ireland border issue”, then I wouldn’t blame them at all.
Maybe I should at least reserve my real name on it…
*gets asked for mobile number
Nope, don’t care that much.
It’s the ciiiiiiiiiircle of lif *gets eye scratched out
And I feel bad for those of them that didn’t vote Tory in the last couple of elections and didn’t vote for Brexit. The rest of them were turkeys voting for Christmas and the fact that they’re surprised about this means they’ll probably vote Tory next time too and think their problems are still due to immigrants…
Not to exclusively blame them, of course. Tory scum are the root of all the problems and the sooner we take them out and shoot them, the better for everyone.
Fugu. I’m far too much of a coward to try it normally.
Shenanigans.
How do we stop Iran killing their own citizens? I know, we kill them first! I are very smart!
Nah, cows can’t move that fast.
They can’t fly either…
I’m in two minds about that. One the one hand, yes, of course - as all the original COBOL folks die off, the skills will be even rarer and thus worth more.
On the other hand, if we keep propping up old shit, the businesses will keep relying on it and it’ll be even more painful when they do eventually get forced to migrate off it.
On the other other hand, we know it works, and we don’t want to migrate everything into a series of Electron apps just because that’s popular at the moment.
Hah. To swap eSIM on O2 in the UK, you have to order a physical pack that gets posted to you with the QR code in. There is no way to get the code to appear on a screen you can scan with your camera, or in an app on the phone you can transfer to the phone’s eSIM manager. It’s so dumb.
Yes. The answer to this isn’t to restrict what the NSA can do, the answer is to stop people’s privacy being a legally tradable commodity.
If we cap overdraft fees, how will banks make up the lost revenue?
Get in the fucking sea.
I mean, if we can’t be a properly grown up functioning member of the international community any more, we should at least be a cautionary tale…
Holy shit, Troy Baker is doing an incredible Harrison Ford impression…
I’m dubious on the first person stuff, especially since they seem to have put a lot of work into recreating Ford’s likeness. But I was dubious about Cyberpunk too, and that turned out OK, so what do I know?
Cautiously optimistic.
A few quotes from the article, for anyone looking at the headline asking “what does that mean?”
China had called the poll a choice between war and peace. Beijing strongly opposes [Ruling-party candidate] Lai
While domestic issues such as the sluggish economy and expensive housing also featured prominently in the campaign, Lai’s Democratic Progressive Party’s appeal to self-determination, social justice and rejection of China’s threats ultimately won out. It’s the first time a single party has led Taiwan for three consecutive four-year presidential terms since the first open presidential election in 1996.
Lai and incumbent President Tsai Ing-wen reject China’s sovereignty claims over Taiwan, a former Japanese colony that split from the Chinese mainland amid civil war in 1949. They have, however, offered to speak with Beijing, which has repeatedly refused to hold talks and called them separatists.
Those smiles are freaking me out
For certain crimes I’d be OK with it provided you can prove with 100% certainty that they are guilty. Not ‘beyond reasonable doubt’ or any other legal terminology. If there is any chance at all that they might be innocent, you cannot execute them.
But they’d have to be people who are dangerous to the rest of society, completely unrepentant and ideally having been through the rehabilitation process unsuccessfully before. You know the type. Those that don’t want to change. Those that even in prison are a danger to others.
Off the top of my head I can’t think of anyone over the last decade who’d meet that criteria, and in general terms I think I judge a society without the death penalty as more civilised than one that does condone the state killing it’s own citizens.
So while in theory I’d be OK with it, it’s safer for it not to be a tool available. When you have a hammer, every problem starts looking like a nail etc.
Plus the general public are absolutely not to be trusted with it, and I can’t imagine the sort of pressure that might be put on judges in high profile cases. Better for it not to be an option.
