Just as well those committing wrongs against the RNLI are not holding placards supporting a proscribed organisation, else they would really be in trouble.

You kids today, with 'net and games I fought in World War 2 You're not content with airfix planes, I fought in World War 2 In my day (nineteen ninety three), We didn't have what's yours Things were simpler, much less woke, I fought in both World Wars.

Can't remember a graphic having such a visual impact as this one with regard to speed of change in public health that has been managed by a politician You might have to go back to changes in water supply in the 19th Century and vaccinations will have had similar impact, but this is pure politics

I'm not saying she's necessarily the stupidest person of all time, but she's definitely the person with the biggest ever gap between how clever they think they are, and how stupid they actually are.
JKR: Trouble is, 'trans' isn't an adjective. 'Trans woman' is a compound noun meaning 'man who wants to be considered a woman.' If the individual being described isn't trans, he's simply a man, whereas a bespectacled woman remains a woman even if she's not wearing glasses.

There is a moment in Monty Python that encapsulates why Britain is in such a mess. “No, no, ‘e’s pining!” No wonder the economy is so bad when customer service is at such a level that a shopkeeper says that a dead bird is alive. Fraud or stupidity, it’s a damning indictment of modern Britain.

Being in a standard classroom with windows that don't fully open on an exceedingly hot day, with 30+ teenagers, makes you feel incredibly unwell. Learning grinds to a halt, tempers flare, misery ensues. Any journalist writing that schools are making a fuss over nothing should spend a day in one 🥵

Usually when the government seeks to prohibit or ban something they treat it like a spell. That’s why they often don’t work. But sometimes the government will self-sabotage a ban by having exceptions so wide so as to render the ban ineffective. Like fox hunting, and now like this.

Typing from a colder state, I think the solution is to sell people on heat pumps rather than air conditioners. “Replace your heating system with something that will save you money and keep you cool in summer” is a better pitch than “install this brand new system just for a couple months a year”

Maybe the reason people struggle to name Starmer’s achievements but can readily recall this, his comments on cutting off Gaza, him kicking people out of his own party en masse, blocking Burnham from G&D etc. is because he made a loud performance of being a thoroughly nasty piece of work.

It will never stop being funny to me that the street fighter subreddit has a much better, well reasoned ai policy vis a vis literally all universities.
Hi, thanks for posting! We do appreciate you thinking of us even though we have to moderate.

Our stance on all AI generated content (Images, Video, Voiceovers, and whatever else LLM based AI gets up to in the future):

At best, they are approximations of street fighter characters as the AI has no clue what it is trying to create. Because of this, there is no street fighter content so they are not allowed. (rule 1)

Also, they aren't allowed per our source rule. As AI sources cannot be tracked, we must assume that they use uncredited sources in the learning data. (rule 5)

Finally, AI images, video, text, and voiceovers are barely any different than posting a screenshot of a google search. The level of effort is so low that we consider it spam (rule 3).

Because of these reasons, AI art and other AI content is not allowed.

If you would like to contact the moderators about this removal, you can do so here.
