They don't want to be political opponents, they want to create a UK maga-like cult whose members unthinkingly parrot anything they say as long as it is couched in the idea of defending a notional identity that the cult has created.

I think people care who the PM is. This would definitely get office chat and I'm sure it'll be along the lines of 'arranging deckchairs on the titanic'. It's just another reason not to vote for them.

Ironically, the only thing (IMO) that could make labour more unpopular right now is a leadership contest. Their whole vote was based on being 'not the conservatives'. A very un-labour-like leadership change just cements that they are nothing different from the last 14 years.

Bro 1: Let's make like a ring doorbell, but better
Bro 2: oh like, the lord of the ring, bro we should totally call it sauron
Bro 1: bro that is so smart and funny
The only woman in a 100 mile radius: It's a little evil overlord sounding
Bros: ugh women are so emotional and unlogical

The idea that a city that has over a metre of snow a year doesn't have an **actual snowplough** with chains or Awd police cars is just so beyond crazy I think I'm going to have to rethink my entire opinion on Canada

As you have said not ripping up floors I'm going to presume this is an upstairs room. Are you 100% sure it's not easier to take an ethernet cable from the router to the attic and then down through the ceiling of the room in question?

You should go on and argue that it's cultural erasure. BUT from the standpoint that US dominated streaming services, social media and news corporations are eroding our traditional anti-authoritarian, tolerant and educated culture and turning it into an American sewer of neo-liberal capitalist bile

Sometimes I feel like I did my son a great disservice by not clamping everything down for precisely the reason that I knew he would get round anything. It's how we all learnt how to use computers properly.

fair enough, I interpreted as you were looking at alternate OS and had concluded that it meant you couldn't have google play, but the comparison shows those OSs that are compatible with google play. But what fucking ever you miserable cunt. Have a jolly good fuck off and an unfollow.

But the super-efficient gas turbines that data centres could also use are a similar way off delivery, and would presumably have higher associated costs of fuel and maintenance. So possibly not a total white elephant?

Wild or just classic fascism? Create an imaginary threat which needs an authoritarian answer so that the populace willingly accepts oppression.

It's right after 'you're alright'. He's talking about the beer that otto just poured on the floor. It's one of my favourite lines because it was so casual, like it happened all the time. Just one sentence but it told you everything about that office.

Except it was always a solution looking for a problem. So fundamentally it shows how poor product development is understood at meta. Ultimately it's a media company that thinks it's a tech company. It has no idea how to create a product, it can only acquire.
