You know that old saying “if a fish cries in the ocean, does it make a sound?”
Yeah, I think Samsung’s app has been able to do this for years.
Nice. Be proud.
Dunno what of, but be proud anyway!
Then I think it’s fair to ask, “Does his height have nothing to do with his fuckwad-ery?”
The title of their manifesto!
Seems this time we’ll likely evade the resident weevil
That’s the really stupid part of all this.
Small amount of money massive personal and political consequences. Hilariously stupid.

Ah, the precious main memory… Let’s see if we can’t get this mouse driver to load in upper memory to save me some precious main memory…
I started with the last version of DOS, 6.2, on PC.
Unless you count the Amstrad CPC464 I had before that? Ran on tapes, disks were futuristic!
Which of us is older? I’m not sure it natters. What matters is that the kids will never understand the elegance of a command line interface or of running out of memory to store your code.
Its a simple law. If your party has received evidence that your clai is false. You must stop using it or face legal punishment.
Let us reflect on how parties might react to this and how a simple law might not achieve your aims.
Another wrinkle is deciding who is going to police this, who is the arbiter of truths and lies?
In almost every case I can think of, political parties already avoid lying.
With statistics they can find the right one to backup their point and ignore the other study which contradicts them. They offer opinions, points of view, oversimplificatios and predictions.
None of these are lies. Manipulation of the same family certainly. It was true that we sent £350 million per week to the EU, except it really wasn’t and yet if you offered evidence that it was a lie it’d be easy to produce evidence that it wasn’t. Truth is complex.
Add to this we have a mechanism built into democracy that is intended to punish parties who lie or otherwise behave this way, its the voters. For this to work we need an informed and aware population to vote in elections, your post suggests you don’t see the voters as capable of this?
To achieve an informed electorate who understands complexity and nuance getting out of the simple mindset of right and wrong is needed, away from simple truths and lies.
In short… “Examine a law not for the good it will do if correctly applied but for the harm it will cause if incorrectly applied”
I’ve never learnt to dance
And yet everyone knows that.
The real threat isn’t our credulity. It’s our cynicism
I’d love to see those things.
I’m going to maintain hope. Reason being that no one except me will be helped or harmed by whether I choose worry or hope.
Masculinity is on the verge of facing extinction
Why isn’t this getting more attention?
Perhaps because masculinity itself isn’t a moral good or requirement for survival? 🤔
Brilliantly expressed. Thank you
No, I’m not part of Reddit in general, if I were I wouldn’t be on that community.
The fact that I specifically said 90% refutes your other, incorrect, assumption.
On the internet, no one knows what a dog you are unless you display it.
I organise my work so I earn enough on the weeks I work that I can take time off. Same as an employee in effect.
Of course, not everyone can do that. If their self employment doesn’t allow them to save.
