I mean, massively increase council funding but also about 80% of all councillors need to be taken to a really nice farm up north where they can play outside and no you can't visit sorry

If you deliberately let every common space of your society close and go to rot because of lack of maintenance, of course people are gonna believe that society and common good are just bullshit. AAAGGHH HIRE SOME GREEN SPACES PEOPLE.

Long story short, an actual Nazi doxxing ring. Enough people reported them that they went away for like 12 hours and then Elon personally brought them back. The site is dead. If you’re still on there, go lock your account right now

I AM BEGGING ANYONE TO TAKE COUNCIL FUNDING SERIOUSLY. Seriously, wring some answers from the greens or YourParty.rar.exe whenever it becomes a real boy.

It's sort of a dark mirror of Boris' idea that if he and we just displayed enough vim and enthusiasm for Britain, soon you'd sail the seas again. These are his studious second officers who think the problem is that you didn't spit shine your buttons.

I genuinely believe that they thought that all Britain (which ISNT a broken political economy duct taped together with house prices) needed was some Sensible Managers who pushed the correct buttons to reset the economy to Good.

"I hate the apps, I really want to outsource my love life to my friends who need to provide me a buffet of partners until I pick the juuuuuuust the right one"

lmao yeah my wonder is rather "why do you still have people who tolerate you?"

Growing up, pop culture taught me one thing. If, by some shocking turn of events, I ever found myself single in adulthood, I would have no shortage of coupled friends inviting me to dinner parties as a ruse to play Cupid.

Kind but dull, attractive but painfully aware of it, follically challenged but financially sorted … I envisaged a potluck of potential suitors; a buffet of potential beaux to sample until I found a palatable dish.

Fast forward a few, ahem, decades, and my friends have refused to come to the party. I’ve been set up exactly once (awkwardly, the setter-upper and my date are now married) and otherwise been forced to fend for myself in the hellscape that is online dating.

After careful consideration, I am actually on the side of the blockers, not the builders

because the builders are all the worst people I've ever seen, surely those other people have to be more fun

The public services will still be totally overstretched and underfunded. Even if ID cards would give you more access (they won't), youre just adding yourself to the traffic jam and getting mad. How does that help anyone?

Like, why is it better now that you can turn your Slack/Teams chat message into verbose prose that the receiving person will also ask chatgpt to boil back down to bullet points? You've only added in ab unreliable translator and word-adder

All the office friends I have are so happy because Chatgpt transforms their sloppy thoughts into a professional looking 3 paragraph email.

I've always believed that the process of writing actually enforces better, more structured thought. This just produces an endless gust of half-baked farts.

There's no "regular politics" anymore because you can no longer maintain the idea that we all agree on common goals but we only differ about the means of getting there or whatever. The guys in charge now are plainly amoral, sadistic nihilists. They delight in it! You can't civilly disagree with that
