I think OP meant it more in the sense that he has the ability to harm queer people. Labour’s stance on trans issues isn’t great, currently.

Honestly, as a Brit, I’ll take the current Labour party over any Tories.

I voted LD because I had to to ensure the Tory candidate didn’t get in, but I had to hold my nose while doing so. Last time I voted for them nationally was 2010, and we all know how that panned out.

To be fair to them though, after the 2015 election they had so few MPs that you could tag them all in a single tweet. So to have 71 now is impressive.

Yeah, as much as I hate everything Farage stands for, fair play to him for splitting the Tory voters and delivering a Labour government. I just wish that kind of thing wasn’t necessary.

I will always upvote Supply Side Jesus. Because he pays me 20 shekels to do so.

He’s just found gold, so he’s going through a range of emotions.

My mate Gary who puts them on his enormous Plex server. He’s a good lad.

Non-American here.

I don’t dislike America. I was a teenager in the ‘90s, when the culture was peaking in influence here in the UK, so I have great nostalgia for American things (which really helps when playing the daily NYT games). I’ve visited a few times, and always enjoyed my time there.

But I am real fucking tired of the American influence on the internet, on politics, and on attitudes around the world.

I’m tired of the American view being the default on social media, because the majority of social media sites are American, populated by Americans.

I’m tired of saying something that would completely uncontroversial outside the US that attracts a rash of people bitching at you because it’s not normal over there. Like letting our cats outside. I once said something on Reddit about my cat getting killed by a car, and got a bunch of replies from people telling me how irresponsible I am for letting her go outside.

I don’t use TikTok, but my wife does, and part of her kinda wants the US ban to go ahead, so that her feed is a bit more balanced towards Europe. And I get that.

:edit: I accept that this isn’t the fault of individual Americans, and hold no ill-will towards them. It’s down to the vast majority of global tech wealth being held in the US, giving the illusion that the whole internet is an American thing.

I also accept that this is rank hypocrisy coming from a Brit. If we’d had the internet 250 years ago, the whole world would be speaking English now, as opposed to most of it.

The easiest way to find coppers is to get naked on the high street.

Folks ITT

No, that can’t be it.

This here. The One True GIF.

If Brent Rambo approves, we do.

Oh aye, I wasn’t suggesting that they have to know ALL of the tech to be able to post on a tech forum, I’m just surprised that they’re completely unaware of it, given it’s ubiquity on the tech forum over the past month or so.

Yes, obviously, but that thing has been everywhere over the past month or so. I’m just surprised that they were completely unaware.

I mean, today’s 10,000 and all that, but you’re on a technology forum and haven’t heard of the Rabbit R1?

Not everything. By default the contents of your desktop and documents folder, both of which are easy to switch off if you want.

They are not, but they do sell products over here, so are subject to British law.

I’m in the UK, where the law may be less mental over things like this.

IANAL and could be wrong, but it is not the case that the T’s&C’s we all have to agree to aren’t necessarily legally binding, because people can’t be expected to read and understand them all.

With that in mind, it doesn’t matter what the user agrees to if they have no practical alternative available to them.

Oh yeah, I feel your pain.
