As if you need to be highly educated to realise building more wind turbines would be better than burning coal?

All sounds very nice, I doubt much will see the light of day, but to be honest if they just got rid of the age range minimum wages and employment rights from day 1 that would still be a great improvement from today!

Obviously it depends on the relationship and how risk averse you both are. But yeah why not both? Seems like a pretty good way to be really sure!

Hopefully it less hormonal side affects than the female pill. But yeah having an extra level of protection will be nice.

Nah I think it was a company called “Packt” that everyone in the thread was complaining about so hopefully this one is different. But for sure would love to hear from someone who has read them.

It will depend on the books maybe someone already has read them can chime in. But I saw a post like this for golang, and everyone in the comments were saying the books were ai generated crap.

They have a two party system, if both of those parties support genocide then what other options are there except a revolution?

Of course not. But allowing their political rival (who also supports the thing you want to protest against) to win because you get apathetic and don’t vote is the most idiotic thing I’ve ever heard of.

If they both believe the same thing on one topic, then you can cancel that topic out and only look at the other policies…it’s really not that difficult of a concept to get. Obviously, no genocide would be great, but if that literally isn’t an option, then just vote for the one that isn’t also actively trying to screw you’re over personally.

Look I’m not American so I don’t really have a horse in this race. But it seems to me, unless you have a revolution and burn the entire system to the ground and build it back up, it makes 0 sense to “boycott” the democrats because then you will just end up with right wing genocide instead of centerist genocide. (If you can even say democrats are Center, where I’m from they are still right wing!)

Yeah but, option a) someone who supports genocide but wants to make your life more difficult or option b) someone who supports genocide but what’s to try and make your life better?

I don’t know what being fine means though! I can just sit back and relax and check my postbox in a week? Or in 4-5 weeks? Or I need to print something off and send it myself? I couldn’t find anything actually describing the entire process on the gov website…

Still the lesser of 2 evils no? Not like trump’s moral compass is particularly good either…

Question because I don’t remember. I am registered to vote via post because I’m currently living abroad. I re-registered a month or two ago because I knew this was coming. Now I’m registered already, what do I have to do? Does my ballot just come in the post automatically? Or do I need to trigger it somehow?

Leave it at home?

But it’s voting for nobody. So it doesn’t actually count for anything. The only way it would, would be if “spoiled ballots” “wins” by having the most, then ever running MP in that constituency has to step down, be replaced by someone else and the election re-ran. But that will never ever happen so it’s futile to spoil imo.

I don’t see the point really. Been having this conversation recently with someone who said the same. The problem is, while technically it’s counted as spoiled for the statistics, it’s effectively voting for no change. If you are unhappy with the state of things then you have to vote for the lesser of all evils imo. Voting tactically is what everyone who wants to spoil should do I think. Unless they are somewhat happy with the current situation and don’t want change ofc.

No party is perfect, and obviously it’s still a little early to tell as I will read the manifestos of all, except the conservatives this year as just their behaviour recently has been enough to tell them to get fucked.

NATO not the UN, Russia isn’t a member.

There is an iOS app I discovered yesterday called ProxMate, and it seems pretty nice!

Instead of encrypting the entire drive, encrypt the home folder. That way it’s unlocked when you sign in.

Honestly, I skimmed this title and thought it said he was found in a ditch. I’m surprised he has lasted this long.
