Things are getting worse in the UK in terms of wealth inequality, living standards, civil rights and democratic freedom.

crapwittyname@feddit.ukto United Kingdom@feddit.uk•UK pornography taskforce to propose banning ‘barely legal’ content after Channel 4 documentary airsEnglish8·3 days agoYou stop at the R and change if to a Z. Barry = Baz, Darren = Daz, Carol = Caz etc etc. Because British English is non rhotic, it doesn’t work if we stop at the R (like USAians can say “Gar” for Gary) so the z sound gets used instead, because it’s pretty close.
Then the A gets added if you’re being extra friendly or cute, a bit like Michael > Mike > Mikey. Gareth becomes Gary becomes Gaz becomes Gazza.
Make sense?

That’s a very good point you make.
crapwittyname@feddit.ukto UK Politics@feddit.uk•New trans activism group Trans Bash Back have smashed windows at Wes Streeting's campaign office21·5 days agoThe comment I “ignored” (written after mine, so I don’t know how you expected me to take it into account) was a biased reading of history. To claim the suffragettes were “a total failure” and that the suffragists would have succeeded if they hadn’t existed is complete conjecture. Your resorting to insults shows how weak you believe your argument to be.

crapwittyname@feddit.ukto UK Politics@feddit.uk•New trans activism group Trans Bash Back have smashed windows at Wes Streeting's campaign office72·5 days agoAre you fucking serious? You really think this is going to pass through undetected?
No disenfranchised group in Britain ever gained the vote through violence.
WOMEN.
Women literally gained the vote through violence. Check your facts before you vomit your opinions all over the internet and masquerade it as analysis.

You said that they are costing taxpayers. So why would you give a single solitary shite about that if it’s not your taxes? Where do you live? Why are you weighing in on this as though you do live here?
crapwittyname@feddit.ukto UK Politics@feddit.uk•New trans activism group Trans Bash Back have smashed windows at Wes Streeting's campaign office13·5 days agoYou got a better idea?
Democracy is built on this shit. This is a clear attack on an elected official’s mandate. And it’s more or less the limit of what the people can do to express their discontent in modern civilised society. Or would you rather we just stayed home drinking wine and watching Love Island while our rights are eroded?
My friend you need to have a look around. Are you a fabulously wealthy while man? No? Then you’re on the same side as the trans youth, whether you like it or not.

People need to make a fucking point. Let them.
crapwittyname@feddit.ukto UK Politics@feddit.uk•New trans activism group Trans Bash Back have smashed windows at Wes Streeting's campaign office7·5 days agoYeah. That is absolutely the most important issue here.
Good grief, Penfold.
crapwittyname@feddit.ukto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Humanity will likely survive climate change, but the vast majority of humans won't.12·5 days agoIf, in some cataclysm, all of scientific knowledge were to be destroyed, and only one sentence passed on to the next generation of creatures, what statement would contain the most information in the fewest words? I believe it is the atomic hypothesis that all things are made of atoms — little particles that move around in perpetual motion, attracting each other when they are a little distance apart, but repelling upon being squeezed into one another. In that one sentence, you will see, there is an enormous amount of information about the world, if just a little imagination and thinking are applied.
Richard Feynman
So, if, during the apocalypse, you have access to a means of passing on a message to the poor bastards who have to live in the New World, it should be this:
“Everything is made of atoms”

crapwittyname@feddit.ukto LinkedinLunatics@sh.itjust.works•LinkedIn removes hate speech protections for transgender individuals4·6 days agoThis is half baked, to put it as kindly as I possibly can.
crapwittyname@feddit.ukto LinkedinLunatics@sh.itjust.works•LinkedIn removes hate speech protections for transgender individuals32·6 days agoHere in the UK, it’s up to 35% according to the latest data. And that’s just in person. Online bullying has risen from zero in 2008 to 19%
crapwittyname@feddit.ukto LinkedinLunatics@sh.itjust.works•LinkedIn removes hate speech protections for transgender individuals71·6 days agoSo you’ve used the word ‘inarguably’ there, which I take as a challenge.
Bullying is not less widespread than it was before 2008. Anecdotally, I have two kids in high school and bullying is rife, it seems the environment in school is exactly as it was 30 years ago. This is the general consensus between myself, other parents and education/healthcare professionals that I’ve spoken to.
Less anecdotally, cyber bullying is now a thing. Kids can no longer escape their bullies by leaving school. This means that bullying is now immeasurably worse than pre-2008, which is exactly converse to your assertion, and may also be part of the cause of rising suicide rates. Social media’s insipid ability to reach into the same “safe” spaces with advertising-driven beauty and masculinity standards has a lot to answer for there as well, which also explains the diverging figures along gender lines.
Hierarchy!
Man, don’t you know? The law ain’t made to help earthy cats like us. Here on our planet, back in the old days - back in the real old days - it was just every man for himself, scrooblin’ and scrat-scroblin’ for the good stuff, the greenest valleys. And the strongest, meanest men got the best stuff. They got the green valleys and were like ‘The rest of you, y’all scrats get sand.’ And that’s when they made the laws, you see? Once the strong guys got it how they liked it, they said ‘This is fair now, this is the law.’ Once they were winning, they changed the rules up

crapwittyname@feddit.ukto News@lemmy.world•The Worst ICE Agents Are Coming | Tens of billions of new dollars plus a rush to hire 10,000 new agents equals a disaster in the making2·10 days agoIt’s looking pretty catastrophic, the future. The climate catastrophe, the AGI singularity, and techno-feudal fascism are all imminent. Then, less imminent there’s the altered nuclear threat, antibiotic resistance, societal collapse (due to all of the above, plus unprecedented wealth inequality) to name a few.
Revolution in some form is inevitable, but it’s not guaranteed to be effective in making things better.
We’re about nine historical turning points deep already, but I think the big ones are yet to come and I hate it.
Gonna have to heavily disagree with this take. Firstly, “Luddite” isn’t the insult you seem to think it is - Luddites were pretty righteous people.
Second, and I think this is the most important thing, comparing a politician’s use of Google, an iPhone and an LLM is a big fat false equivalence.
