Owners of care homes in ‘current year’ are potentially the worst example of unregulated capitalism. Somehow managing to profit off of the suffering of both the workers and the residents/residents families. It’s awful and not even like it’s that easy to fix because most can’t afford the higher costs that come with ethical care homes.
Sooo if you skim the previous posts on here, you’ll know that Feddit.uk’s only Admin (@tom) has been missing for a couple of months and in that time we were defederated by lemmy.world (although we’re back now) and we are one upgrade behind (just a minor fix) with one much bigger one whistling down the pipeline that may...

Just the first of these would be massive. If after your 9 points wear off and you are back to 0 any further offence instantly is 9 points instead of 3 for 5 years then you aren’t going to speed are you.
Let us know how it holds up, I remember it as a kids book but maybe it’s better than that.
I’m still reading the stormlight archive as per forever but also the secret barrister and just started asimovs foundation which has been on my list for years.
I lived with a lad last winter who said he never switches the heating on. I went back to pick up some stuff just after I moved out and it was 3 degrees inside the bedroom… No thanks. The government is completely failing people like him.
Okay so after a 12 year gap I’ve finally decided to start my A Song of Ice and Fire re-read. Only difference between now and 12 years ago is that I have two kids, so I imagine this might take a while....
I’m three quarters of the way through the stormlight archive after nearly a year! It’s superb but very very long. The dialogue and characters are actually worse than I expected but the story and world building is incredible. And there was recently finally an emotional moment for me.
I’m also reading the secret barrister which makes the bottom of your stomach fall out with how sick you feel. This Tory government has taken something that was t working well and ground it into the dust so it barely works at all. Everything is to get cases processed faster instead of obtaining justice.
Wise words in the end. How they could vote for the Tories after how poorly they were treated by Boris is beyond me, but then they voted him back in so…
I’ve read stuff on Reddit in the past about people charging your card multiple times or other general dodginess. I think I’ll try not to get too drunk as one defence but being informed would be useful too. Anyone got some tips?
I'm sure I'm not the only one to have enjoyed the recent boom on YouTube of urban planning and transport content from the likes of NJB, citynerd and citybeautiful. Not to mention the one of videos from others like Adam something etc....
