The only thing I disagree with here is Win8 being apparently better than Win10.

Win8 was really damn annoying to use without a touchscreen, and while Win8.1 did help, Win10 was by far the better implementation of PC Metro IMO.

Having said that, Win11 is exactly where it needs to be. It’s all of Win10’s worst traits cranked up to 11 with a heaping of it’s own bullshit and spyware on top

Well if we use JD Vance’s Razor, it checks out to me.

You wouldn’t post it if weren’t true, right @obscur_e@lemm.ee

Don’t worry - I’m sure in a few years time when our next election comes up, our population will end up forgetting about the previous decade of getting fucked by the Tories, and immediately put them, Reform-UK, or some other alt-right party into power for round 2 just like you guys

To borrow @goatbeard@lemm.ee words, an economic disaster. The price of basically everything skyrocketed overnight, even basic essentials, which pushed swathes of people below the poverty line, and even today is putting increasing pressure in foodbanks. The effects of the Tories’ complete mismanagement of Brexit, the Covid19 pandemic, and the Russian Invasion of Ukraine only served to compound the damage.

This cumulative Brexit damage and mismanagement is what finally got the Tories kicked out (which they should’ve been years ago if you ask me) - and while the economic effects have slowed down somewhat recently, prices are still going up substantially, and I think we’re gonna be feeling it a while longer.

It annoys me to no end that we knew this would happen, economists literally predicted this economic shitshow during the referendum and +50% of our population decided to just put their fingers in the ears and shout racist rhetoric instead.

Unfortunately the world often does the fucking around part for you, and you’re stuck finding out with them. Sincerely a Remainer being forced to find out on Brexit.

Honestly not even bad life advice…

You might not get somebody’s POV, you might think it’s weird or bizarre, hell you might have no fucking clue how they got there, but the end of the day, as long as they’re not harming other people in the process, does it matter how they view the world?

Being exposed to all different walks of life is a good thing, no matter whether it’s Tumblr fetishes or real-world diversity. There’s a reason that higher education leads people to be less bigoted, and this is a big part of it.

Edit: Just adding on. I know myself I used to be a lot more close-minded than I am now, and I credit going to university with that - as said above, it opened my mind to different POVs and walks of life. Albeit I’m still not quite ready for whatever fetish pooltoys involves haha

Bloodletting is actually still used to treat some diseases - for example it is the primary way to treat Haemochromatosis. Until recently, in the UK at least, people with this condition couldn’t donate blood, so it was just thrown away like back then too - though more recently they started allowing donations to help treat hospitalised anaemia.

Oppressing fascists and their ideologies is a price I’m more than willing to pay to keep freedom for everyone else

The poor VESA mount, she wasn’t built for this!
