It’s almost all if Google chasing a quick buck is the issue.

If it makes you feel better I’d have loved to vote lib dem, but had to hold my nose to vote labour.

I think it’s important to note that the primary reason the conservative party has had many of their seats in the past is because the left/socially progressive vote was split between labour, lib Dems and the greens.

For me I’d say the one-nation part of the conservative party.

And socially progressive parties got 56% of the vote. But that’s split between about 4 parties.

Fuck my life we’ll be having Section 28 again at this rate.

Just because it’s safe doesn’t mean it’s the best we have right now.

• It’s massively expensive to set up
• It’s massively expensive to decommission at end of life
• Almost half of the fuel you need to run them comes from a country dangerously close to Russia. (This one is slightly less of a thing now that Russia has bogged itself down in Ukraine)
• It takes a long time to set up.
• It has an image problem.

A combination of solar, wind, wave, tidal, more traditional hydro and geothermal (most of the cost with this is digging the holes. We’ve got a lot of deep old mines that can be repurposed) can easily be built to over capacity and or alongside adequate storage is the best solution in the here and now.

Yeah if your desk is stuck just in one position that’s obviously going to be bad. Most ‘standing’ desks are actually height adjustable. You can spend some time standing some time sitting. But maybe even more important, you can adjust the desk to the right height rather than just adjusting your chair.

You could probably label the whole thing mental illness as what we’ve actually been able to detect makes up about 5% of the universe.

Better be turned off by default.

Like a fucking Valkyrie.

Exactly, which is why there needs to be a change in the law. They’ll suddenly care when there’s fines of 10% of global turnover on the table.

To me Dune is too big for movies. It should have been a series. We’ve had two long films and they’ve cut the book down so far they still barely make sense. The end of Dune two should have been the end of a first season of 8-10 hour long episodes.

Apple fans and people that fall for their slick marketing would

The cheapest card you can find with and leave the price sticker on.

Laws need to change to make it Amazon’s problem. They’re giving them a platform, so they should be liable for what’s sold on that platform.

How they do it doesn’t really matter how they do it, just that there’s laws in place to make them do it. It’s also more than that, if there’s people with fake goods on their platforms and they’re not doing enough to tackle it they should be fined into oblivion.

This is really horrific. But as this was second hand I’m not sure how having “independent third-party certification” in place would help, unless you could either get something you bought certified afterwards, or it was illegal to sell secondhand without said certification documents (but then you still run the risk of forgeries or after purchase alterations).

It points towards a bigger problem to me, that of dodgy imports in the first place. We need

• Online market places to be jointly and severally liable for anything on their sites. No more shirking responsibility by saying it’s on their sellers.

• Proper import checks (thanks Brexit) to catch stuff that’s not up to the existing safety standards.

• More money put into enforcing existing safety standards in general

• To work closely with the Chinese government to tackle dangerous products before they’re out on the open market.
