This is fucking hilarious, best news I’ve heard in forever.

Probably the Tories

How is it gonna nag me to upgrade to Windows 11 when I don’t have a TPM?

I’d love to upgrade, the system is completely capable of running it, but because it doesn’t have a useless bit of hardware I can’t. Fuck em.

I’m sorry, but at 15 you’re old enough to know that stabbing a stranger to death is wrong.

Yes? What do you think they’re implying, that we should try to rehabilitate criminals… but only if they’re still young?

I think (and forgive me if I’m wrong) they’re essentially saying that without a rehabilitory justice system, we’re just locking people up for life and creating a net drain on society. Financially, culturally… it’s a morale drain on our nation, even.

Not to mention that as a society we’re abandoning a person who, through a justice system built on rehabilitation and not some ye oldie Catholic concept of creating a punishing Hell on Earth, could actually flourish one day, adding to our society instead of taking from it.

A prison system designed to simply incarcerate, punish and torture those it touches will never offer anywhere near the same benefits to us as one that is designed to attempt to rehabilitate.

Not everybody can be rehabilitated, of course, but that’s like saying we shouldn’t try to treat cancer, because not everybody can be cured.

Good thing the “Feds” have zero jurisdiction in my country then. Feck em.

Ah yes, technology videos are really bad. Especially that Technology Connections guy, he’s the absolute worst.

And don’t even get me started on technology video reviews, tutorials, guides, educational materials and tech news. I only consume technology information in newspaper form. This new video thing just won’t catch on.

Okay, so… leave then, if you hate it so much?

Or are you lying and you actually love it, hmm Orby?

What is it with people trying to make the entirety of October into Halloween?

It’s one single night, it’s not a season. Is this the Americans trying to push it on us to increase our capitalist consumption or something? I see it a LOT these past few years.

What’s next, turning Easter into a month long extravaganza?

Well, I have no First Amendment rights, so there’s that.

Except it’s mostly Americans, and their politics mostly has nothing to do with me. Such is life I suppose.

Okay but what about the image cast on our retinas through our eyeballs that we use to see?

Those are imperfect imitations of reality also. What’s their stance on those images…

Don’t forget that your employer doesn’t give you your legally mandated annual leave, it’s one of your basic rights, like sick pay (applies to the UK, and hopefully a lot of other places).

Thing is, that’s exactly how you do it as a capitalist.

Compartmentalise your businesses and ensure they’re registered so as to never come after your personal assets should they go bust.

Then, if the business fails and goes bust, shut it down, sack everyone, and a week later reopen in the same place with a slightly different name and rehire most of the same staff under the new company.

The new company is not in any way legally connected to the old one, and the one one’s debts are to be handled whatever administration firm took all that over, etc.

I’ve seen it happen first hand here in the UK, good example of why capitalists are scumbags that are above our laws.

If nothing else it’ll make a decent bit of filler before something better like Firefly Season 2 comes out!

This is such a David thing to say, ho ho, you japester!

Oh yeah, forgot about those! I enjoyed the boys and invincible a lot, I never got around to watching wheel of time, I will eventually, but I’ve heard nothing particularly good (or that it’s middling at best) so I’ve shoved it to the back of my to watch list.

American Gods, Rings of Power, Good Omens, the Expanse, Man in the high castle, the Last of us, etc etc.

It’s not always as good of a selection as other services, but it’s got a fair few gems on there and a good amount of back catalogue films and tv shows that are fab :-)

And the fact that they collect so much stuff that would otherwise not be available at all (usually because its only on some random foreign streaming service and refuses to work with netflix) is where they really shine.

That said, I immediately stopped using it when they brought adverts in to the paid subscription. I’m not paying to watch adverts, sorry, no.

Check out Ludwig on iPlayer it’s a good watch! David Mitchell in some light, witty modern day Poirot detectiveing.

I’ve been binge watching the fever dreams (⊙ᴗ⊙)

I’m mostly worried about my mother, I caught it from my father (somehow, after seeing him like once last week in passing) and even though he isolated from her once he knew he had it, she tested positive yesterday too, …and she’s due to go on her first big trip abroad in her ENTIRE LIFE in like 4 days to Paris (we’re a bit lower class haha), supposed to be a big special once in a lifetime treat from her daughter, planned it for a year now :-(

First time any of us have caught it too, my father is in the high risk category (twice over) so we’ve generally been careful this whole time, and we’ve been getting the boosters (ironically this year’s booster became available TODAY) but ya know it was going to happen eventually…

But enough of my story of extremely bad timing, glad to hear you recovered without and lasting negative effects :-)

Watch out Soup, I’m sick with COVID right now and I will slurp u

I’m a soup slurpin, joint achin MACHINE right now 😆
