  • What’s the most surreal "small world" moment you’ve ever experienced?

    Jump

  • I ran into a girl I went to school with in New Zealand (school was in the UK). Didn’t know she was there working for a year, and even if I had, what were the odds I’d end up in the exact bar she was working in?

  • Whats the worst baby name?

    Jump

  • Brexet (pronounced “Bridget”)

    😐

  • What is the technical hill you are willing to die on in your industry?

    Jump

  • Sure, but the reason isn’t always just security.

    We have government contracts and want more. But to get those, they insist on us doing a bunch of security things.

    So it sucks for the users, but if we don’t implement the restrictions, we lose the contracts and thus the income.

    And as a side benefit, holy shit we are pretty secure. Next annual pentest soon and I’m expecting good things from it!

  • Kemi Badenoch: Tories to scrap petrol ban if they win next election

  • EAT SMOG, POORS

  • What's your winter holidays movie?

    Jump

  • Die Hard and Violent Night

  • Where will Europeans flee too?

    Jump

  • Yeah, but the non-Nazis need somewhere to go as well…

  • Ya know, a little interdepartmental communication would go a long way

  • I’m convinced the Picard ones were just the Reapers from Mass Effect

  • I completely agree.

    You could almost say that my reply… lacked nuance 😉

    Part of it is microblogging. Part is the ubiquity of internet access and lack of general education in critical thinking. Part of it is a concerted effort by hostile actors (whether corporations, nations or other groups, such as oligarchs) to discourage long form media because it’s easier to push out Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt that way than it is to be positive.

    I think a lot of people have always wanted easy answers to complicated problems. Now they’re getting messages saying that they exist, and the people saying “I think you’ll find it’s a bit more complicated than that” are the ones trying to twist them to an agenda.

    Easy solutions are comforting. Why think hard if you can just blame someone else and not have to do anything?

  • Twitter and its 160 character limit.

  • just because its true doesnt mean you have to say it

    Jump

  • If they show interest, you can go into detail. If they don’t, that’s previous seconds of life you can use for more productive things.

  • just because its true doesnt mean you have to say it

    Jump

  • It’s easier to tell someone you play D&D than it is to say you play Pathfinder, get the “… what?” question and then say “it’s for people who think D&D doesn’t have enough rules”

  • Who are some widely loved fictional characters that would be hated if they were real?

    Jump

  • Given how people deify billionaires, I’d imagine there would be plenty of people that would defend a real life Cave Johnson.

    Hell, he does get shit done. His company came up with the red and blue gels, and THE FRICKIN’ PORTAL GUN.

    He actually solved the energy problem (run water over a dynamo into a blue portal, then open an orange portal above it so the same water powers the dynamo forever, and that’s just the easiest one I thought of!).

    People love Jeff Bezos, and he’s done a lot less and treated more people worse!

  • A UK government department spent hundreds of millions upgrading its systems to Windows 10 - just in time for its official end of life

    Jump

  • If this project was authorised after November 2021, people should be fired for the waste of public funds.

    Once Windows 11 came out, it was clear that Windows 10 had an end date and they should have just gone balls-deep and skipped 10 altogether.

  • RAW says it's okay

    Jump

  • It’s not a war crime if no one has passed a law against it…

    Also, if you make it to level 20, who exactly is going to hold you accountable anyway?

  • California resident who tried to kill Brett Kavanaugh jailed for eight years

    Jump

  • Under the current regime, he’d probably be replaced with someone younger and even worse who’d be on the court for fifty years.

  • Reform UK suspends councillor linked to account calling for Starmer’s death

    Jump

  • At some point we’re going to admit that Reform Ltd. is just a hate group, right?

  • Removed

    So how do you feel about the whole Charlie Kirk divide?

    Jump

  • I don’t support murder, but when people who do call for it like checks notes Charlie Kirk get murdered, I’ll enjoy the irony.

    There are some people who the world would be better off without. Can anyone honestly say the US would be a worse place now if Trump had been killed instead of “wounded” at his own shooting?

  • Counterpoint - Tuvok and Neelix were lost in an industrial accident.

    Tragic, but this is Starfleet. Risk, as they say, is their business.
