I can’t work out, how kinder eggs can’t have toys inside them in the US, in case some kid scarfs the whole thing in one go, but a product that could cause serious scalding by not following the steps exactly, especially to such sensitive skin could possibly be ok?

I'm just trying to come to terms with my trauma, can the world, I don't know, improve with me or something instead of getting worse?

I had ten years more WW3 is about to happen at any time than you did. We saw Northern Ireland become a peaceful place after such a long time like a war zone, the Middle East calmed down after always being a warzone somewhere or other. We watched the Berlin Wall come down in ’89 with such optimism, the USSR broke up peacefully and Europe started to be a more interesting place, now these borders with Russia are bloody dangerous. Somehow there’s a new and improved ‘Cold War’ that isn’t actually a secret at all, a real war hiding behind words like conflict, the holy lands are all to hell again, my god we are useless at this peace thing - the rich twats just can’t make enough money unless we’re all suffering obviously.

What’s fucking ridiculous, is that any industry could not have to report water usages. Let alone an environmental disaster area like AI.

Go right and you’re in oncoming traffic, go left and you’re risking further traffic stopping at this junction crushing you against the back of her car? I’d rather not. Bunny hop and skid mark on the roof is much better

EHRC commissioner calls for trans people to accept reduced rights

Jump

waz @feddit.uk 7mo ago

That’s my point about permissiveness, if the rights weren’t there about self identifying, but everyone’s ok with it, then it feels like more rights, which may or may not be supported in law. But then when a lack of support in law is being enforced by bad feeling alone, people who want to cry about who’s using which toilet, then the end result is that it feels like a loss of rights. I think it’s a bad thing, but I also understand that in law, being able to do something without a fuss, and then later not being able to, is nothing to do with rights unless the law actually changed.

Misleading title, they’re apparently not reducing rights, they’re communicating that the rights have not changed, but assumptions were incorrectly made and it ‘feels like reduced rights’. It’s not a nice thing to learn and needs to be handled carefully and compassionately, even a policy to be permissive and encourage to normalise what the assumed increase in rights were, working towards making them actual rights. But yeah, antagonistic headlines as always.
