I'm only recently arrived here but already the tech stack seems significantly more stable

At time of writing the number of petitions over the lifetime of the system that reached Parliament and then led to law change or action stands at 0. Its a pointless PR exercise in looking like they care. The law on it doesn't even require it to enter the commons, merely to be debated in some back room for half an hour by 3 or 4 mps.

I did see that if you counted up EU stats as a single set of figures instead of country by country the EU would count as the 2nd greatest economy in the world and comfortably ahead of the third. Bet there would much more support for rejoining if that was widely known, it'd show how little chance there is even in principle of making international trader UK work well enough to offset the loss.

I honestly think if all secrets were revealed very few people would prove worthy. Practically no one depending on high you set the standard.

It makes me glad I have an exit path out of listening to Americans assuming everyone is American

I kind of always knew believing reddit was some kind of pure platform basically required being a stereotypical Californian but its declined so heavily in the last 10 years.

Its the number of clearly stupid replies you get now that really irritates me, from people who've very clearly not read or understood what you've said. It used to be a place where the average user seemed to be a PHD looking for cat pictures

I wrote that and now I'm imagining being required to take an exam to join a subreddit. Stupid idea but it would probably restore that sort of tone.

That'd be a crazy move. He must know there is an entire wave of new social media emerging thats just poised to punish such a stupid move.

I don't know why I find Uncanny so compelling. I don't even believe in this stuff.

I do know now though that any account from anyone remotely tired is totally worthless though. And that you can manufacture ghost experiences just with a few speakers your victim cannot even hear.

Hasn't he also blamed the control centre being understaffed on immigrants / race (somehow)?

You saved me typing

Exactly this. I very much doubt this is anything but the realpolik that is always going on that is a large part of keeping the country secure and the taps flowing.

Heat pumps still need to get much cheaper to be viable for most people.

The way it looks to me right now - pressure mounts on practically every side, Labour popularity rises toward the election (its been said front loading unpopular stuff is deliberate), Tories start trying to distance themselves from Reform (to avoid becoming known America apologists for a start), relationship repair becomes a keystone of the 2029 - 2034 session.
