When did you realize that rich people live in a world of their own?

  • If the poor families are buying $1000 iPads then I don't think they're that poor

    • [BBC News] Claims that smart motorways tech leaves drivers at risk

    Jump

  • Weren't "smart" motorways originally just supposed to be automatic detection of traffic to apply temporary speed limits and reduce traffic? When did the 'while we're at it turn the hard shoulder into an extra lane to save the cost of expanding' plan get tacked on?

    • When was the last time you answered a Lemmy or Reddit post/thread that was more than five months old?

    Jump

  • Thankfully not, I don't miss scrolling past publicly-posted comments which could have just been the save button!

    • Every single person in this post is a fucking lunatic

    Jump

  • You only inconvenienced one person who doesn't know how to set their client to view posts the way they actually want to see them, don't worry!

    • I've only got one tentacle and can't deal with these unrealistic body expectations of having many tentacles.

    Jump

  • I much prefer my realistic body standards of giant eyes that somehow float in front of my hair

    • If there was one page that Donald Trump refreshes the most what would it be?

    Jump

  • Everywhere you look maybe

    • What do you think will happen if we don't pass the aid for Ukraine?

    Jump

  • We're on a lemmy.ml community, so Mali I guess

    • Face / Off?

    Jump

  • I wonder how many other people this works for

    • Life was better in the nineties and noughties, say most Britons

    Jump

  • When asked to think about their own lives, Britons are most likely to say that the best years of their life so far have been their twenties. Three in ten Britons aged 20 and older (30%) nominate that decade as their best, a figure which is largely consistent however old they are.

    While the 90s was a bit of geopolitical stability, these findings seem to be more influenced by people enjoying the freedom of their youth

    • Keir Starmer: Labour wants to increase defence spending to 2.5%

    Jump

  • Update now I've actually bothered to read the article:

    Writing in the Daily Mail

    So yes, I think I was right!

    • Keir Starmer: Labour wants to increase defence spending to 2.5%

  • "as soon as resources allow"

    Sir Keir's aim matches that of Chancellor Jeremy Hunt

    Just a tactical statement to win over any floating voters for whom this might be the deal-breaker, with a caveat that there might never be enough resources to allow it then?

    • What's the most interesting traditional or formal politeness behaviour or table manners in your culture? Or for any service personnel, in your restaurant?

    Jump

  • True, that was the "technically" part. If it's rush hour and everyone is standing on all the steps on the right and everyone is walking as fast as they can on the left then the overall rate of people is less than if everyone was standing more densely. At quieter times then the people who need to rush can get there faster because they don't need to stop at the beginning while they wait to get on.

  • They say English isn't a tonal language but the way you pronounce the word "quite" can change it from being 'unexpectedly good' to 'barely passable'

  • Pretty standard in the London Underground too, despite technically being way more inefficient than if everyone just stood two people on each step!

  • Imagine losing a job because an armchair psychologist took you to the fanciest restaurant you've ever been to and you like salty food. Ah well, free meal!

    • Why stand in line to board an airplane?

    Jump

  • I've not known any airlines that let you bring on hand luggage that's too big to go under the chairs so consider yourself lucky to even have that!

  • In addition you can bring a personal item

    I see you've not had the pleasure of traveling with Sleazyjet before!
