There’s some little differences - for example, Qwant doesn’t spam you with irrelevant “Apple Maps” results on every search, as DDG has for a few years.

If the MAGAs don’t care about Trump’s “Epstein related activities”, then Putin’s supposed video blackmail isn’t worth anything.

The front woman’s fingers and ankles, and the rear woman’s face certainly look “AI suspicious”.

I hope they have a “packet of crisps/chips” pocket on the other side.

We used to suffer from this, but now have a cat-based monitoring system:

3 cats sleep on bed = perfectly clean
2 cats sleep on bed = clean enough
1 cat sleeps on bed = prepare to change sheets
0 cats sleep on bed = change bedsheets now

What if we let one Reform supporter out for each immigrant we let in?

“It’s a controversial way of doing it, but it looks like complaints about immigration are down”

All fair points for a motorway/highway/freeway/whatever. I’d mistakenly thought the previous post was referring to a smaller local road with a 55mph limit.

I don’t really care so much about what speed people do on motorways, but I have a massive problem with people doing 40-60mph in a 20-30mph limit residential area. Bear in mind where I live in the UK, the cars are driving 2 metres from the front door of everyone’s houses.

I don’t think it’s just Gen-Z.

Here’s former Manchester United and England footballer Gary Neville, telling us about his “mini-retirements”

Gary is 50 years old.

Not personally, no - but the police would only need to catch a handful each day to get things moving a little more safely in the area.

Why don’t they confiscate driving licences and imprison all the criminals who are driving 20-25mph dangerously over the limit?

Having read that, yes :)

Hahaha.

I used to have a home office room, and I bought and installed a whiteboard on the wall, for noting things down, planning, to-do list etc.

For five years, it had a single scrap of paper blue-tacked to it, which read “1) Buy a whiteboard pen”.

I eventually solved it by moving house.

I think it only works if your brain is wired in a particular way.

Tons of open browser tabs? Long, impossible-to-complete to-do list? Unread emails? Unplayed Steam Games?

Good chance of it working :)

“Of course, when we say ‘family’, we include the lesser-known definitions of the word, such as ‘supporting Israel’s far right government in their genocide’, ‘trying to make trans people illegal’ and ‘starving the poor’”

When I wanted to stop smoking, the idea of never smoking again would make me stressed and make me want to smoke.

The solution was I put “have a cigarette” on my to-do list, at the bottom.

So I never quit smoking, I’m definitely going to have a cigarette at some point, when I get round to it - just after I’ve re-tiled the bathroom, wrote a novel, made a computer game, taught the cat to play piano, finished a series of 100 paintings, wrote an album of songs etc…

… so it’s over ten years since I last had a cigarette, and there’s only a thousand or so things to do on my to-do list.

I didn’t know they’d made an American remake of it. Worth watching?

It’s not really that tough, is it?

“People driving vehicles expected to pay attention to their surroundings and take responsibility for their actions”

Ah, looks like the old “eat yourself entirely, so you are invisible, then when the plane is on the return flight, you poo yourself back out again” trick.

Yes, he’s had pretty much a constant stream of chances for over a decade.

For people who actually weren’t given a chance, we need to look at people like Ed Milliband, who once ate a sandwich wrong, or Jeremy Corbyn, who thought we should increase taxes on rich people (which was, according to the news at the time, apparently antisemetic).

I’m hoping it’s not one of those sudden lurches to the far right which seem to occur when someone suddenly needs access to the “special lawyers who make historical allegations disappear”.
