Was speaking to Vodafone support today. They offered me 100GB for £10/month, for 24 months. For once I thought that was a good deal, so I took it.
Incredibly they have doubley missold this to me. They lied about the price (mid-contract rises), and ommitted key information about the speed cap.

The COP30 deal has fallen short.
Morally, economically, environmentally and scientifically. There are reports that a record number of fossil fuel lobbyists (1,600) attended this UN climate summit.

the solution is of course to just give trans kids HRT
No matter what the politicians say, this is discrimination. Look at how the regulation is worded: This is not a ban on its use for a particular indication, it's a ban for a population.

In primary school they told us "you have sweet taste buds here, salty here, sour here" etc. And I knew that was bullshit because when I taste flavours it's not exclusive to sections of my tongue, all taste buds can taste, then the "taste bud map" was finally debunked 10 years later, science updates
