  • People should be scared, this kind of thing will likely be normal eventually. It’s amazing how quick people just become normalised to shit like this. I remember a Reddit post about Angry Birds 2 where someone had posted a picture of it requiring an internet connection to play and then had just written “Uninstalled” beneath it; now like 80% of the free games out there require an internet connection to work. We could have Netflix that’s half the price and included password sharing, we could have all games working offline, and so much more, but there’s so many people out there simping for these corporations that don’t give a fuck about them.

  • European lawmakers say they were pressured by Chinese diplomats to not attend conference in Taiwan

    Jump

  • I think this is pretty standard stuff tbh. This is basically why diplomats get posted overseas, to try and influence things their own way. If they’re just politely asking people not to go it’s fine, as long as they’re not crossing a line.

  • Manchester Airport: Police filmed stamping and kicking man's head

    Jump

  • Context is everything. Police officers are police officers but they’re also humans and they get stressed and do things that they wouldn’t do if they were thinking clearly. For all we know this guy might otherwise be an upstanding officer who immediately regret what he did.

    It’s the UK, not the US. They don’t just let all the police walk around with guns. This guy’s a firearms officer and if they’re called to an incident at an airport then something pretty serious is kicking off.

    If you got really stressed at work and made a split second decision that you immediately knew was a bad idea you’d want people to know the context.

    I’m not defending kicking the guy in the head, I’m just wondering what it takes for someone to get to that point where they think that’s a good idea.

  • I’d like to know more context about this whole situation, apparently there was a big kerfuffle and another police officer had to be treated for a broken nose.

    This guy looks like some dumbass kid who got himself over-excited after being given a gun and a badge though. He’s probably set his career back by 10 years after this dumbass move.

  • I use it out of laziness. Despite all the shit they still have great customer service. About a year ago I ordered a £150 multi-tool and they accidentally sent me a £200 reciprocating saw. Due to a complicated living situation at the time it would have taken me about 6 months to send the wrong tool back so they just said I could keep it and refunded me so I could buy the other tool again.

    The other thing I like is that I’ll just see a price and buy it easily. I’ve often shopped around and found something cheaper but then the whole purchasing process is terrible. They add on a bunch of extra costs, then make me create an account, then add on more costs. By the end I could’ve paid less and got it quicker from Amazon. Not always the case but it happens often enough that I will just go to Amazon half the time.

    But I guess the main reason is that I hate being forced to create accounts and so many shops require that for no good reason.

  • I don’t think charging for content is the problem, it’s just the way some companies do it.

  • How Russian propagandists spun the Trump assassination attempt

    Jump

  • I’m not a Trump supported or anything but that picture of him pumping the air with blood on his face is pretty badass. It can’t be hard to spin that one, especially compared to Biden who runs out of breath finishing a sentence.

  • Thank fuck.

    Most people in the UK don’t even consider taking a train because they’re so bad.

  • I can’t tell if we’re quoting Trump or Biden nowadays.

  • Somebody needs to tell me what they’re doing to Plasma to make them like it so much because when I install it with Breeze it just looks like Windows 2000.

  • Loads in Morocco as well, they have loads of pharmacies due to all the French influence.

  • Labour wins majority in UK General Elections as Tories lose two-thirds of seats

    Jump

  • They didn’t do that bad really, it just wasn’t reflected in the results. A new further right party showed up and split the right wing vote, which is largely why Labour won. If you look at the total votes the righter win parties did pretty well (Tories are really all that right wing but they did get the right wing vote).

  • Nobody voted for Corbyn, that’s why he isn’t the leader of the Labour Party anymore.
