  • How can prostitution be arrestable? Other than an actual sting involving an officer, the exchange of money wouldn't be witnessed in almost all cases. So it's just two strangers having sex?

    Jump

  • Often countries have laws that make the solicitation the illegal act for that exact reason.

    Or the arrest folk for conducting their business in public... So lewd behaviour.

  • So... It didn't burn?

  • If only I had read more books I wouldn't have fallen for such an obvious trap.

    Although you'd think a book factory would have a ton of blank paper that is equally flammable. Must have been a busy day for them.

  • Ah yeah, there are dodgy books, but immolation is emotional and reactionary.

    Besides, recycling is cooler.

  • Can't think of a single instance of book burning being a good look.

  • Yeah, but she didn't sing it in front of a bridge that wasn't London bridge but that she clearly thought it was.

    Admit it, this was just a simple error made out of presumption and ignorance. Weird that you are defending it so hard by making such a stretch.

  • Brexit hit to UK trade less than predicted, says study

    Jump

  • It seems not everyone can work that out

    Here's the thing. You have twice insinuated I don't understand the news, or how it works. , it demeans us both.

    I feel insulted and you come across as a smug prick.

    I was just saying that different papers spin the news differently. There are no papers in the UK that lack bias.

    There is no such thing as "just reporting the news". The very selection of what you report onis the news.

    We could get into an academic debate, if you want. We could wheel out Sontag and Marshall McLuhan. We could go over all the basic first year undergraduate lessons in journalistic practice, or we could just drop this and move on.

    I suspect you won't be able to restrain yourself though. You'll have to point out for a third time that you think some people are incapable of being able to understand things that you, yourself, seem to be the one struggling with.

  • Any seat you want

    Provided that someone doesn't have a specific seat booked.

  • Yes, you are very smart.

  • No, they are spinning the news. A headline like that when the report goes into detail how damaging it was is deliberately misleading.

    They are focussing on the fact that larger companies seem more resilient. That's the one positive in the research. The rest is pretty brutal.

    That's like reporting a headline "Child escapes school shooting" and then mentioning the fact that five others died in the body of the text.

    They are not "just reporting the news".

  • Sausage, beans, eggs, and toast

    Jump

  • Nah.

  • Sausage, beans, eggs, and toast

    Jump

  • Thanks for the corrections.

    I can't believe I fucked up so badly that I missed half a cherry tomato.

    But yeah, if they say that is toast, who am I to disagree?

  • Sausage, beans, eggs, and toast

    Jump

  • That... Is the feeblest looking breakfast I've seen in a long time.

    Underdone toast. Technically just bread.

    Cherry tomatoes, a whole one and a half of them.

    Something brown that may or may not be sausage but has clearly been pre-cut as if you are feeding it to a toddler.

    And why does it all look as if it is sliding off the plate like it has been hung on a wall?

    I don't mean to kink shame, but if this is your food porn you need to seek counselling.

  • The only US spice is "ranch".

    Just seen a post where someone was dipping sushi in it.

  • I love Language Models! (ChatGPT & Gemini)

    Jump

  • Before GPT I would be googling things for hours each day, visiting forums, watching YouTube videos, etc.

    And then...

    Important Note: Please be aware language models can be innacurate and prone to mistakes, so always verify the data from other sources if you need accurate information and not just general knowledge.

    So, basically the same but with an extra step that might be bullshit.

    Cool.
