I'm not sure you've seen what's happened to the Software Engineering market. They've been firing people left, right, and centre because they assumed AI would make their core staff so much more productive they didn't need them. It'll ruin many of these companies. I've already seen it happen.

It's disgusting. 2 years for not disclosing information that in no way has been legally required before. If they had any level of consistent values that would inevitably include prison sentences for withholding other information the other party might object to. Like membership in right wing party.

Men rape women all the fucking time and nothing gets done about it in this country but if a trans woman performs a sex act on a man who consented she'll be found guilty and locked up with men.

The judiciary hates all women.

Kind of wish someone would tell the government that's hellbent on preventing me from participating in public life. 😞

As was said two messages higher up this very thread, you can make separate lists/feeds for that. You don't have to follow someone to see their content. It's actually a lot easier to deal with the hatemonger content if you split it off from your main feed and you don't have to follow them.

to where we're from if we don't like it here. We're somehow inherently ungrateful if we want to improve this country despite the fact that I'm from a wealthier country and the UK wasn't doing me a favour letting me move here. Not that that's required to contribute or to be worth sheltering.

It's "funny" how the "good" immigrants (born in the UK, moved abroad) have every right to be involved in the politics of both their country of origin and country of residence, even to the detriment of those who still live there while the "bad" ones like me (immigrated to the UK) should go back

The insufferable weirdo keeps repeating that line like it's gold in the replies. 🤦‍♀️

You can just tell they're aching for someone to ask what it means so they can feel intellectual and superior. It's downright pathetic.

It made a huge difference for me. I haven't used it for a couple of weeks as I have a bad cough at the moment and it's a stark difference. With it I can sleep for an hour less and feel actually refreshed and have some actual energy.

Sorry I don't have better news. 😬

No, that's not what's going on. They're falling as expected. They're not made to stay up very long at all. The headline isn't great, I'd be a lot more concerned about the report that some are surviving re-entry which Musk of course claimed they wouldn't. You'd hope he'd get at least fined, but... 🤷‍♀️

They're not really a concern as space junk. Lots of junk is up there that will be there for centuries or more while these last a handful of years. There's a concern around telescope visibility for sure and if they're not fully burning up in the atmosphere that's bad, maybe other things, but not junk

Are deliberately making trans healthcare and waiting lists worse. How all NHS waits are bad so it could just be that. It's so easy to sound like a conspiracy nut talking about this stuff.

It should be a national disgrace, but getting cis people to care is an uphill battle. We're getting there a little, but my goodness every cis person I know in real life just doesn't believe it's half as bad as it is. One of my closest friends thought I was going too far when I said the government

Again.

Labour isn't complicit in this - they're ramping it up. Labour has been worse than the Conservatives ever were in their 14 years on this issue.

I'm nine years into a wait at the moment, and the latest news is that it'll be over 200 years before my GIC will see me?

And remember - 1/2

I'd be shocked if they weren't to be honest.

If you vote Labour at this point, you're literally just letting Reform into government

Latest poll puts Greens just two points behind Labour. When I said we weren't here to be disappointed in Labour but to replace them, I meant it.

Join us and let's make hope normal again.

Poll from find out now showing greens on 15 and labour and Tories on 17. Reform on 32.

It's a red flag of sorts, though personally I wouldn't consider it anything like a slam dunk. But Bluesky hasn't exactly been showing their solidarity with the trans community of late so I'm not surprised people are sensitive to potential connections. The Heritage Foundation is particularly heinous.

What do you mean she only follows them? She's following 4.3k accounts.

Thousands, maybe tens of thousands of people somehow made a difference of 2.3 million votes. I'm not sure how they've convinced themselves of that.

I'm so impressed with this game, really glad it's a success, it's richly deserved. I'm very much looking forward to seeing what you make in the future!
