I was in the police (UK)

For very minor issues there was always an attitude test first.

Polite/respectful/apologetic/remorseful/minor infraction?

Then you’re getting a warning.

Start our encounter off by calling me a cunt or being a general all round bellend? Yeah you’re getting a ticket mate.

You can fly but only a couple of inches above the ground and only at walking pace.

I have a single grey hair in my eyebrow that is thicker, and more wiry than the others. It also suddenly sprouts to an inch long and sticks out.

Another vote for the anbernic.

I had to ditch the memory card that came with it though. I use GarlicOS and use it for gba games

Depends on the viewpoint.

My brother is a conspiracy theorist, it’s absolutely impossible to talk to him about anything. No matter what evidence you produce, he’ll just ignore it.

The closest I got was when he mentioned the moon landings were faked and filmed on a sound stage. He pointed to the flag flapping “in the wind”.

I asked him why, if NASA had gone to all the trouble and expense of faking the moon landings, would they have installed a giant fan to make the flag flap…

I also won’t have anything to do with anyone who supports the likes of Nigel Farage or Tommy Robinson.

It’s been decades since the UK was cold and snowy enough for us to be able to build snow forts. Iirc it was possibly as far back as 1989.

Fucking North Atlantic current keeping our climate mild.

I’m picturing you having a huge wall of books. One of the books has money in it, but you’re forced to search each one everytime you want the money because you keep forgetting which book it is

The UK market is filling with electric cars from multiple manufacturers now. Cars made by actual car companies.

We have a mini as a run around. It is a better car in every way to a tesla. Range is excellent, handling is amazing and the build quality is what you’d expect from a premium vehicle.

Its actually a car. Not a test bed for unproven technology.

Teslas are cars designed and made by a computer company, nothing more.

Ha, jokes on you Master Bruce. I have an airsoft pistol that carries 30 rounds.

Part of my job means i have to deal with complaints from individuals who are, lets say, fucking dumb.

Being able to put their unhinged 2 page long, zero punctuation rant into copilot and ask it to summarise the key points, giving me something tangible that I can follow up on saves me a huge amount of time and work.

But ai slop, fkn hate it

I’m just used to the UK version.

The government of the day sets the budget. Each year they announce things like tax rises/lowering etc but funding doesnt just stop.

A system that requires all parties to agree government spending every year is fucking moronic tbh.

Agree completely. Social media is a fucking blight

The law in the UK is that adult sites need to verify an individual’s age before allowing them access.

Banning people under a certain age from social media is arguably a lot stricter…

“I made it up”.

Its fucking ridiculous. In my job if I made some shit like that up I’d be sacked.

Hello fellow human, I’m so glad you asked. All evidence points to there being no bots here

Personally I’d like to see a total global ban of social media.

Humans aren’t designed to communicate with this many people at once, and it shows.

And as soon as they do Trump will declare them traitors and demand the head is fired

Worked in a pub in the UK.

Yes, we had regulars. They’d be there nearly every night after work for a quick pint before heading home.

Very few of them would stay for more than one or two though

I have Wallpaper Engine on Steam. My current wallpaper is a 1980s synthwave style animation of the big kalua mountain thingy.
