Other ventures include naturopathic 'weight-loss' pills, and a fake tan product via Ultimo Beauty.

Sounds like she's one of those people at the top of MLMs.

If Rishi Sunak is serious about restoring faith in politics, he should start here.

About as likely to take place as the second coming of my dude JC.

It's entirely possible there's someone in politics who can do this. That person isn't any of the current Tory leadership. Or past Tory leadership. And most likely future too.

I say this as a long term caffeine for the rest of my life addict. Coffee + sugar is a wildly different effect than just coffee. I avoid sugar completely during my coffee hours.

Yep. Taking the piss aside, it was a smart move to co-star with someone so famous.

Good luck getting to stay in most of those places. They're happy to have tourists, not residents. Unless you have a lot of money to open a business. Proud little boys don't strike me as wealthy.

Don't tell the people fighting this about coal power plants and other things that actually fuck the environment and kill us.

Welcome to the world of training datasets.

There are many ways to go about it, but for a limited number they'd probably use human analysts.

But in general, they'd put a lot more effort into a chunk of data and use that as the truth. It's not a perfect method but it's good enough.

The world has its own CO2 cycle so it's not that we need to reach 0, we just need to reach a balanced emission threshold. Though at this point we will also need to aid this process with further removal.

The issue is mostly that we are outputting too much. Shipping industries, energy production, other transport such as cars and planes. These industries are a big part of the problem and the ones fueling (e.g. oil) them are the ones most interested in your feeling of hopelessness, as then they have free reign over their actions.

The world has and will get hotter. There will be more disasters. But it's unlikely to be the end of civilisation. The more we act now, the fewer people will suffer.

It's not a hopeless cause at all. Look at our tech now vs 100 years ago. Humanity has the means to do it.

So many corporate cock gobblers commenting on this topic.

Parasites like Meta infiltrated our society, did their damn best to become a monopoly, currently steal from smaller businesses, lost personal data from shitloads of people, makes you their product, and even fueled instability in entire countries. Then people wonder why a government wants to use it to perhaps save a few more lives. It's not like Meta is a company deserving of goodwill, so are you people getting a cent for this PR work or are you just suckers?

The dangerous route was already taken. Ukrainian people are getting slaughtered, today.

What a beautiful speech you give, completely blind to reality.

An idea I like is a branch of BoE entirely dedicated to create accounts for politicians and their parties where every single transaction is a public record.

The issue with existing banks refusing services to political parties is that established parties have no issue with it. They already have so much money and power that they could be their own bank. This is not the case for new parties. If you think the current two-party system is bad then you should probably consider this lady's argument.

Is some software getting worse?

Fixed for ya.

It was very polarised. I found it hard to get along with the left subs, impossible with the right subs. People are increasingly less interested in making compromises and more so in having their way or the highway. Though I doubt this is a Reddit issue alone. The world stage has been moving, fast. No doubt sped up by the numerous global crises we just had or are currently having.
