  • “Almost overnight, the school fees went up from £55,000 per year to £70,000. The increase was shocking, but not entirely unexpected,” Moy says. “Ultimately, I believe, the education provided and the sacrifices we will have to make are worth it.”

    So they readily admit it's a fair price, but still felt the need to complain to the media?

  • Columns

    Hilariously, that style of game is also more popular than Tetris clones now.

  • I hope you can understand how extenuating circumstances such as yours aren't the norm.

  • An indoor cat wouldn't stand a chance. The lack of experience is an absolutely enormous barrier to overcome, and indoor cats really struggle a lot if they ever get lost outside.

  • I like how the Game Gear lost hard to the Game Boy, but now their design is the standard for handheld consoles.

  • Most other people who you interact with aren't actually seeing you individually. Instead they are confronting images they've previously developed regarding one or two characteristics they noticed. Don't take what they say too personally.

    Edit: Be aware that you do the same thing.

  • Dude. Power seekers have been doing this shit since ancient times, and you're getting your panties in a twist about people who fight back against them? Anons know this stuff because they've been dealing with it since the dawn of the net.

  • Here is a great piece someone put together a while ago which goes through many of the techniques bad actors use.

  • It's a test of pattern recognition. The difficulties come from trying to apply similar measurements between disparate populations, as the questions themselves tend to rely upon common understandings of the world. You can measure two people from two different cultures with two different tests, but then it's more difficult to claim that the resulting scores are comparable. As long as people understand that it's a rough approximation rather than something akin to video game stats, it's quite useful.

  • Why do we keep paying people like this to enshittify everything?

    Because if you refuse to destroy yourself, your family, and the rest of the world, they'll import 3rd worlders who will do it because they're being threatened.

  • It's quite something how they're trying to force the Internet to work as an artificial version of things we already have, instead of using it for the unique purposes which it can actually fulfill.

  • It's great to see sex workers getting legal protections.

  • No, I'm sorry, but there is absolutely a need to be mean about fetishising arson.

  • You idiots are so dead if there's ever a real conflict.

  • Literally the first novel ever written "Sinuhe" speaks of a very similar crisis in ancient Egypt.

  • If only everyone who tried to warn about this sort of shit happening wasn't an alt-right troll, maybe something could have been done!

  • I'd love to see the numbers for western nations.
