if you ask people why they say "of course you have to segregate people by sex how else will you stop the male patients raping the female ones" and act like that's obvious common sense rather than completely insane

the problem with throwing people under the bus is that sooner or later the bones puncture the tires

can't speak for the rest of Europe but in the UK you can only get a couple of packets of ibuprofen or paracetamol at a time, and they don't do big bottles. As for whether it actually does anything, eh, evidence mixed: academic.oup.com/jpubhealth/a...

Restricting paracetamol in the United Kingdom to reduce poisoning: a systematic review

Abstract. Background Paracetamol poisoning is implicated in about 150–200 poisoning deaths per year in England and Wales. We review previous studies assess

in theory? yes. In practice no, because we don't have enough beds or doctors to have single sex wards (that's what the "breaches" in the article refers to). So not only are we barbaric, we're incompetent barbarians

there are limits to how many you can buy in one go, i guess that's what they're referring to

Sega just put out a statement that they're pulling the game and putting the original back, which is *wild*

We're aware that Total War: Shogun 2 - Complete Edition has fallen short of both your expectations and our own standards. We've seen your feedback, comments, and reviews. We agree that the current experience is not where it needs fo be.

As a result we are working with platform holders to temporarily remove the game from sale and reinstate the original game while we investigate the issues. Existing owners will still be able to access and play the game.

We are working closely with our development partner to identify the causes of these problems, deliver improvements, and ensure Shogun 2 - Complete Esition meets the quality standards players expect from Total War

this particularly funny because I looked up a bunch of reviews yesterday and they all said it looked great and none mentioned AI

Also I’m not gonna let the linguistic point go: the BBC, the courts, and now the NHS all refer to trans people using slurs as a matter of official policy. That’s where Britain is at now.

the only way you could not have seen this backlash coming is if you never actually talk to authors (who hate AI) and only publishing house executives (who love it)

the very basic bare minimum for a "govt announces" piece like this is a one para statement from a union official saying it's bollocks or something not only do you not have that, instead you've made it MORE glowing than the press release

Hospitality is one of the worst culprits for zero hour contracts. So not only will businesses take advantage of these unpaid ‘placements’, they’ll also cut hours for the staff currently on their payroll. Why spend on wages when the government has given you a team of slaves at your disposal?

this is such transparent fluff a) they're not jobs they're indentured labour under threat of losing access to UC b) even the DWP's own press release doesn't say they're jobs, just that the scheme "has the ambition" to create 100,000 jobs at the end of it

170

Crowsa Luxemburg @quendergeer.bsky.social · 15h

note that when the DWP announce a placement scheme where there is a wage, like the one in the image, they say so: where there isn't, they fill an entire page with quotes from CEOs and don't mention wages at all. They are also careful not to call it a job: www.gov.uk/government/n...

everyone has always known all along that reform were racist nazis, which you'd think would get people asking questions about why they kept getting invited on question time

this is just the YTS for the 2020s, it was slave labour, it never led to an actual job, and it entrenched social exclusion If you need these people to work then you can afford to pay them. If you don't need them then you're obviously not going to employ them after the scheme ends
