What's funny is I have had this dipshit blocked for ages, even before his gooning to barely legal stolen porn on the job incident. Iirc I blocked him when his friendship with the pro-pedophilia organization Prostasia was revealed. With the nuclear block we were *already* invisible to each other.

You can’t buy non-food items with SNAP. The average amount of benefits a person gets from SNAP is $6 a day. No one is living on SNAP alone, it’s a supplement to other forms of income that you have to budget to make last a month.

Live facial recognition. A waste of time. Waste of money. And, crucially, lays waste to our rights. For the supposed golden goose of digital policing to spit out one (false positive) match is an indictment of this invasive tech. Tech and surveillance aren't the solution to complex social problems.

Just had an interesting conversation as to why some people on here don’t use alt-text in their images. 🤔 After their initial reply to my post about not using alt-text, that they don’t do it as it trains AI, they then said I was wasting their time. 🫤 #Accessibility
💀Their second reply to me after I asked for alt-text on their images and they said it trains AI:

Unfortunately the developers of bluesky have taken this position.
I did not.Their final reply, with an image of a line chart, showing Pointless Questions along the x axis and Indigenous peoples time wasted along the Y, with an arrow pointing to You halfway up the line.

“You have the most powerful invention mankind has ever created in the palm of your hand. And rather than using it, you choose to waste my time? Please consult the chart.”

The difference in UK and US temperament is in the UK we “couldn’t care less” and the Yanks “could care less”. So the UK starts at complete disinterest, but the US has an innate level of enthusiasm that still has the capacity to move downwards. The Aussies, of course, don’t give a fuck.

If you still suggest it's easy to get any form of benefit from the asset-stripped, denuded and parsimonious UK state - disability aid, neurodiverse diagnosis, just general living assistance - then you need to have your elbows broken once a week and be forced to juggle hot rusting engine parts.

Only men aged 84+ will have done military service (the average male life expectancy is 79) so very, very few over-65s would have experienced military service themselves, they seem happy for others to do it though. The people who would actually suffer from conscription are overwhelmingly against it.

I stand by my long held opinion that Caitlin Moran is fucking awful
Well. What a week. The history of conflict in the Levantine Middle East stretches all the way back to the Babylonians, Persians, Greeks and Romans. To try to understand the clashes of cultures, religions and factions in this region requires weeks of heavy reading, almost always ending with the exhausted conclusion, “Wow — this is all very complicated. It feels like there maybe isn’t a straightforward solution to the whole thing after all.”
But the worst bit? I think we can all agree: it’s Ed Sheeran’s backing band quitting his world tour after things got heated on TikTokFor a super-online generation for whom Gaza is the defining issue, Sheeran is now being talked about far more than either Binyamin Netanyahu, who ordered the indiscriminate bombing of Gaza (unlike Sheeran!), or Khalil al-Hayya, the leader of Hamas, who helped plan the October 7 attacks (also unlike Sheeran!).

We are in the ambulance now. He is unconscious, but not.  Nobody unhooked anything but they tied into the eeg and is sending some sort of messages across the screen.  If cook be gargled junk or it could be coherent.   We dont know what’s going to happen but his organs and brain all see to be fine.  Please pray for us and for God will be done here.  He is not done with with Matthew yet.  All I know is is called his friend Shawn Webb and said something about making carbon.  That may or may not have anything to do with this but we do need his prayers.  Thank you everyone.
