  • It's a theory, and I hope you're right. But there gas been no hint that he is doing anything like that at all

  • Blair, for all his faults, had charisma. He knew how to twist a crowd and how to twist the media. I would have expected a decorate lawyer to have those skills too, but Starmer seems to be a wet blanket who's only skill is the occasional good quip at PMQs

  • Oh I would absolutely rather Starmer's Labour than anything tory, but that's not a very high bar. I never liked Corbyn, I thought he was a hypocritical arsehole at times, but I did like many of his policies and polling showed so did much of the populous when you took away party designation. So my hope was that Starmer would continue in the same vein as Corbyn but be a more electable individual

  • Authoritarian, yes, fascist, no. We need the term fascist at the moment to call out actual fascists, diluting it by using it label people who aren't fascists but are also problematic plays directly into the misinformation the fascists thrive on

  • Not great, but nowhere near the same level of problem in the west where most of us are commenting from right now, so your whataboutism is irrelevant. Wanna try again?

  • I had such high hopes for Starmer - he was a Human Rights lawyer, he was in Corbyn's cabinet , and he looked to be more of a politician willing to play the game of politics than Corbyn. And yet... And yet...

  • Oh no, how awful, an old thing on the internet!

  • If they grab the back of your head, sure, but if they grabbed your nose and angled it up your vision would go up. The question, then, is where is your perception of the mouse

  • My A-Level in biblical criticism thirty years ago. Sorry, I don't have the notes any more. Maybe google can help?

  • Extra spicy, hut the kind of spicy you get on your anus after shitting out a too-hot meal

  • Not everything anti-Ai is luddite, some is just poorly thought through or downright incorrect, this is absolutely a luddite take

  • Then it is horrifically badly written. Maybe get an AI to give it a once over?

  • Top quality luddite opinions right here. Plenty of fear and oprobium being directed against the technology, while taking the kleprocratic capitalism and kakistocracy as a given that can't be challenged.

  • No he didn't. That line was added at the Council of Nicea a couple of hundred years later

  • I imagine "there were none to check" is the simple response. As a non USian I'm not gonna read the above tho

  • It doesn't optimise storage, it does exactly the opposite. The point is to try to reduce dependencies by having everything in one atomic unit. This means if two programmes would use the same library you waste space by having it installed twice, but if two programmes use different versions of the same library you don't have dependency problems because they each have their own copy to work from. I can see the pros and cons but personally I don't have a use for it so I avoids it

  • Yes, but the point is that once inflation gets back to 2% (the bank of England's target) the problem is not solved, everyone is still effectively poorer except the rich, it's just not getting worse

  • Steve Bannon was quoted as wanting to create an "international network of nationalists"
