First they came for steam, then they came for itch.io .

  • It absolutely is, it's naive to think these puritans will just decide to stop here

    • Ellen DeGeneres says she moved to Britain because of Trump

  • Oh 100%, I'm a republican (lowercase R, in the British sense). I just find it ironic that the US portrays itself as having removed monarchy, when it was just replaced with dictator that has a term limit

  • Ironically, our king has incredibly limited power that is enforced by a strong belief that religion should be separate from politics and an independent judiciary. Your king doesn't seem to have the same hurdles

    • Russian lawmakers say 'security threat' WhatsApp should prepare to leave Russia

    Jump

  • Whilst WhatsApp is still owned by meta and I'm sure the US military would have a lot use for the metadata they collect, let's be honest, I'm sure Putin would prefer if Russians switched to a platform they can spy on themselves

  • From what I've heard from Americans, the standard of dress for basic tasks like going to the shop is apparently high compared to the same in America

    • Reddit users in the UK must now upload selfies to access NSFW subreddits

  • A shadow contract is one of few mechanisms to enter large-scale consensus (it isn't THAT large when compared to a solar or galactic scale, but large enough for planetary control, and with some clever management, can scale larger).

    You don't know that, I've seen shadow contracts that apply to intergalactic scales. I would wager they can be used for interdimensional organisations

    • 'It's a cover up': Musk floods X with posts attacking Trump over Epstein

    Jump

  • That makes no sense to me, it just reinforces the fact that the US president is essentially just an king that gets elected and has a term limit

    • 'It's a cover up': Musk floods X with posts attacking Trump over Epstein

    Jump

  • It's absolutely wild that the US president is able to pardon convicts. Like you have a supposedly independent legislature and judiciary, and the the president can just go "nuh-uh" to anything he doesn't like

    • Voting age to be lowered to 16 in UK by next general election

    Jump

  • Yes it is, it's essentially giving people with children extra votes to use.

    • Voting age to be lowered to 16 in UK by next general election

    Jump

  • Sure, but I want mature enough at 18 either. A lot of people aren't mature enough at 40 to fully comprehend what they're voting for. We don't enfranchise people with votes based on their level of knowledge though, we do it if they're considered active members of society - and 16 year olds are considered adults in a large amount of their day-to-day life
