  • This is the shortsightedness of US politics:

    On the one hand you have a spoilt rapey trust fund brat that's too stupid but will implement fascism in behalf of those whispering in his ear verses a near dead self proclaimed zionist actively taking part in the genocide of the Palestinian people and in doing so has side stepped Congress multiple times to carry out that participation and promises to do stuff if you vote him in but despite having control of all 3 branches of govt, does fuck all.

    So who do you vote for?

    It's either eat the shit in some fake consensual choice and fucking smile about it or get force fed it whether you like it or not, and you all do this every 4 years but never stop to ask why you're all eating shit

  • What's a hobby or interest of yours that you really love explaining to others?
  • Lately I've found myself info dumping on people about some tangentially related subjects that I've been reading about over the last decade:

    • Loss of the 'third place'
    • Privatisation of public space.
    • Decimation of the high street & how removing, not increasing parking spaces will be instrumental in reviving it
    • How out of town retail shopping parks contributed to the obesity epidemic.
    • Why the UK has seemingly unique weather compared to it's neighbours
  • Democracy is at stake. | An address from Bernie Sanders
  • "Hey! That thing you do every four years is actually a sham and always had been but don't let that stop you participating because you know, we really need you to vote this time to preserve the illusion of democracy"

    Stop huffing jenkum and most of all, stop encouraging others to take up huffing with you

  • How Quora Died: The site used to be a thriving community that worked to answer our most specific questions. But users are fleeing.
  • That article is horrible, not for it's content but their insistence of underlining words and phrases in sentences as links but it creates false emphasis and makes it unreadable!

    They need to learn to develop some subtlety with their word cloud link nonsense

  • How do you deal with suicidal thoughts?
  • Suicide is also a bad idea and you are going to regret it if you find you've put yourself in an unstoppable position. This is evidenced by people who miraculously survive their attempts.

    Also, no matter how little you think you mean to anyone, it's going to hurt them.

    My friend killed himself back in 1991 and 33 years later, I still think about him at least once a week.

    We used to share music so new stuff I hear, I think if he would have liked it. He was an incredible intelligent and astute person so I think about all the insights he might have shared with me.

    Most of all, I've still no idea why he did it. The 'daily' issues he had going on were not insurmountable and despite conversations we had ranging all manner of subjects, there was no indication of him being troubled by deeper issues.

    He got a lift into town with his stepdad to collect his bike, went to the top of a car park and jumped off.

    No note. No indication. Nothing.

  • Buying a house is so disheartening
  • This is one of the main issues with all new builds in London.

    There's plenty of places going up but they're all being sold to overseas investors as buy to let and do it keeps making rents exorbitant for locals.

  • You've never heard of the most brutal race in the world.
  • A friend who is into ultra endurance cycling competed in the TransCon last year.

    He rides a Brompton in sandals!

    He's also completed the PanCeltic Race multiple times as well as the Trans Atlantic Way

  • Songs you later found out were covers.
  • Little bit of pop trivia for you.....

    The version that was covered by Tight Fit that was an 80s one hit wonder in the UK, was produced by Tim Friese-Greene.

    He also produced "She Blinded Me With Science" by Thomas Dolby and was also a co-writer, producer and player on Talk Talk's final three albums!

  • Songs you later found out were covers.
  • One that I was surprised to learn that I like to share is Grace Jones 'Private Life' was originally by The Pretenders.

    > Hynde is quoted as saying: Like all the other London punks, I wanted to do reggae, and I wrote "Private Life". When I first heard Grace's version I thought 'Now that's how it's supposed to sound!' In fact it was one of the highpoints of my career - what with Sly and Robbie being the masters, and Grace Jones with her scorching delivery.

    Not really a cover but it used such a huge chunk that it pretty much is...

    Beyonce "Crazy In Love" is basically The Chi-lites "Are You My Woman"

  • A confused Dianne Feinstein tried to give a speech in the middle of a Senate hearing vote and was told to 'just say aye' instead
  • I don't think she has enough consistent cognitive functionality to know wtf is going on really.

    She's being propped up by Pelosi rather than being allowed to decompose horizontally with dignity.

    It's indicative of just how corrupt the political class is in every western country

  • Windows won't dominate enterprise in a decade, says outgoing Jamf CEO
  • Unless Apple drops the price of their devices by at least a third, it's not really going to happen.

    Another thing to consider is that Jamf will certainly not be dominating the Apple MDM management solution arena in a decade either.

    Companies with a mostly win estate with win infra, aren't happy with paying another $40 per user, per year for Jamf and Intune will be making up a lot of ground for a one shop solution, even if management is not as featured or complex as what Jamf offers.
