Your reality, sir, is lies and balderdash… and I’m delighted to say that I have no grasp of it whatsoever!

Canvases as a visual index/MOC to collect notes on a specific topic. That’s my main use.

I have used them as a cork board for notes when planning writing (much like Scrivener). I’ve even got templates that have images of an index card to type over.

Nanny state etc. What do people want? A government that looks after them? The freedom to vote means the freedom to die of chicken-egg-poisoning. Dying of food poisoning is a fundamental British value that woke experts will have to rip from my stinking hands. (or something like that.)

By now companies must know that games based on an IP are almost always trash. Usually the IP-games that are supposedly great turn out to have have average gameplay and marketed hard with advertising spends larger than the development costs ( cough I’m looking at you Spider-Man).

Who actually cares which party wins which seat? Surely the idea that voting for any of these chancers will make any meaningful difference has been long given up? Regardless of whomever has more seats in Westminster, their agenda is to continue the reversal of post-WW2 social gains.

I saw that one of the polls predicted the tories would be left with only 25 seats.

That’s 25 seats too many!

How big does a movement need to be to describe itself as “mass”?

I’m not sure that any party that wants to participate in the Westmister House of Distraction is anything other than riddled with state security services operatives.

He claimed that he wears a hat following a hammer attack which left him hospitalised and severely scarred.

Time for UK to become Limitarian. Tax the excessively rich at 100% above £10 million. No one needs more money than that.

Yes, it’s an idea for an alternate reality where Labour retained some belief in equality and wealth redistribution. Sadly we live in a hellish neoliberal mirror universe where the Labour leadership salivate whenever the Davos Boys ring austerity’s bell.

HMRC has seen a 50% drop in investigations into wealthy tax evaders (bnnbreaking.com)

This significant decline, from 1,417 civil inquiries in the tax year 2018-19 to just 627 in 2022-23, signals a troubling trend in the enforcement of tax laws against offshore, corporate, and wealthy taxpayers investigated by HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) fraud unit....

HMRC claim that only 5% of UK don’t pay their taxes.

That 5% is worth £36 billion a year!

I’ve got my suspicions about who that 5% are. Damn you you single-parent, new trainer-wearing, work-shy benefit claimants! Damn you!

This apparently “spontaneous” group of “ordinary mothers” looks surprisingly media-trained. I’d be interested in knowing more about the founders. When the “keep our schools open during covid” group were examined they turned out to be a puppet of a right-wing thinktank.

I grew up with even less access. At school we used paper and ticker-tape to program computers. And there was no tv (which was black and white anyway) during the day. Those were the days. Boring as fuck!

You could be right. I listened to a Tory minister on the radio today talking about ending anonymity on the internet and - more interestingly - about silo-ing parts of the internet so that certain groups, such as children, could only access certain “versions” of the internet. I wonder whether that’s the longer-term agenda.

Strikes me that current White Dwarf has so much less text than this issue.

I was thinking “Did no one notice he’d been missing for 3 months?” until I read that time dilation caused it to only be 18 minutes. Of course it did. I like the precision of 18.

OK as long as we also adopt a limitarian approach to personal wealth in the UK. Tax personal wealth above £10 million at 100%.

It’s worth getting a copy of the new book by Ingrid Robeyns extract here. To answer your point directly: surely making everyone “middle class” is a mechanism for dealing with inequality (and poverty).

tenebrisnox,
@tenebrisnox@feddit.uk avatar

We don’t. The wealthy do. The wealthy who’ve been siphoning UK money upwards into their offshore accounts since 1979 have more than they need. Wealth redistribution and then investment would sort our public services out.

Just looked at Sleek (which I hadn’t heard of before) and looks pretty good. Thanks. I’ve been using the Obsidian plugin which has been fine up until now.

Ukrainians who have moved to the UK have highlighted the lack of dentists as among the most astonishing aspects of British life (www.theguardian.com)

One woman in her 30s, Boyka, told the researchers: “We don’t have a dentist. It’s crazy. For us, it’s, like, impossible! In Ukraine the dentist industry is huge, you know, everywhere, and because it’s everywhere you just go and it’s like £10, £8, and you can clean it, whiten it like [a] Hollywood smile!...

Do dentists in other countries have the same sense of prestige as British ones? I used to work with a guy whose wife was a dentist and he constantly talked about being a dentist as being on the same level as a doctor. Said that entry requirements for dentistry at university is the same as medical doctors.

Hmmm… 2024…. isn’t there supposed to be some sort of big thing happening involving politicians. And of course the British people can see right through any attempt to bribe them. Can’t they?

World leading water! Greatest water in the entire universe! Most amazing water in this realm of reality! Wealth-ceators deserve big pay ris… Oops, sorry, I’d gone full-Tory for a moment.

This table was in an article discussing benefits including pensions from across Europe. I’ll see if I can locate it. I think the data comes from this calculator: www.oecd.org/els/…/tax-benefit-web-calculator/#d.…

Lives “endangered” at school which restricted prayer rituals (www.secularism.org.uk)

According to The Mail on Sunday, court documents reveal that a group of around 30 pupils intimidated other pupils who would not fast during Ramadan, pressured a girl into wearing a hijab, and coerced another girl into leaving the school choir by telling her it was forbidden in Islam....

tenebrisnox,
@tenebrisnox@feddit.uk avatar

No, it is one-sided reporting. I wonder how much of the praying was used as a means of push-back by pupils at Michaela to the authoritarian way the school is run. I don’t think I’d like a school where even in my breaks and lunches I have to have conversations with my teachers using prompt-cards.
