  • Growing number of adults avoid booze, NHS survey suggests

  • It's a bit annoying isn't it? They raised the price of all alcoholic drinks with "minimum price per unit of alchohol" rules, as a disincentive to supermarket special-offer binge-drinking, but then they charge this increased price for the alcohol free versions too...

  • Pornhub to restrict access for UK users from February

    Jump

  • I don't think anyone disagrees with that, but the current "upload a video of your face, a copy of your passport and your full name and address to a criminal company based in Cypress" combined with "if you don't implement it you must block the UK" is one of the most stupid, dangerous and incompetent things I've seen for weeks.

    It's not just porn being blocked. It's Discord servers, Twitter, image hosters, other hosting websites, media websites, images on websites, international companies' websites, tech support, equipment manufacturers, fucking paint suppliers.

    It's a sack of badly thought-out shit by bell-ends. An opt-in from a mobile phone provider or ISP, plus some parental controls was all we needed. Now we can't order some fucking specialist paint for work, and the pictures in the online safety manual all say "not available in your region".

    At least we'll soon be able to buy a pack of 1000 stolen uploaded British passports and photos for £50.

  • I want that sticker

  • Except that ugly "Lightning" one, flashing its pins all over outwards like a slag.

  • National insurance hike and energy bills behind food price rise, say UK retailers

    Jump

  • Yeah, you see all these newspaper/online articles about "how to live for cheaper" etc, then you notice "but that's how I've already been living for a decade".

  • Almost exactly 2 Hulk Hogans.

  • Thanks 🙏🏻

  • I think "intersect" keeps only the shared sections, so it would give you "Rick Man", the exact opposite of what we need. We'd need an "exclusion" or an "XOR" to retain the non-shared sections.

  • Thanks 🙏🏻

  • Alan Wake is a boolean operation between Alan Rickman and Rick Wakeman

  • What's it like living in 2?

  • Oh, they added a "modesty Norway" to cover up that filthy border.

  • The Lord of the Ring

  • I'm not going to let a post about "Jesus wrestling" go by without letting you know about our Lord and Saviour MDickie and his computer games.

    Best known for making lovable janky wrestling games, he eventually branched out to making non-wrestling games where you:

    Served your time in prison (via the medium of wrestling)

    Followed the career of a musician (via the medium of wrestling)

    And last but not least:

    Lived the life of Jesus Christ (via the medium of wrestling)

    The original, 3D classic - MDickie - The You Testament

    The modern 2D remake - Steam - The You Testament 2D

  • Oh great, now I have to start hoarding water, too.

  • In the UK, the lowest guess (from the government) is "more than 10,000". Most anti-slavery charities agree on an estimate of about 120,000 - 130,000 in the UK.

    Each year, about 10,000 - 20,000 are newly referred to authorities (and potentially rescued).

    Though there's often a perception that it's only foreign workers in the UK that get trapped like this, 25% of those are British nationals.

  • There's just as much a problem with older people being radicalised by far-right social media, so perhaps look at adding the over 30s too.
