I can’t even put into words how disgusting I find this.
“I can see the Labour Party coming to power in the next election - maybe, maybe not - who knows? But it doesn’t really make a difference who’s in power - the State remains the same, the structure is still there, they just tinker with it a little here and there.” - Oi Polloi
All those hours of Helldiving, and it was just boot camp all along.
For Managed Democracy!™
Scottish Tories getting an awful lot of coverage in that story, somebody at BBC Scotland appears to be a fan.
“A group of four of us around level 80”
Level 50 was the original maximum. You’ve completed the game. Presumably by now you’ve unlocked everything, of course it’s easier. Try starting from level 1 again and see how you feel.
What’s your alternative to democracy after this “peaceful revolution”? Who’s in charge? You?
Is this revolution anarchist, communist, fascist, or something else?
And what kind of democracy are you talking about? There are many varieties, with some being far better than others.
I thought it was the 51st?
Christians regularly ignore the 10 commandments, the most basic of rules in their religion. Of course they’ll ignore the stuff that means they can’t eat tasty pork
What does “exposed your alt on .ca” mean?
Can you intertwine Lemmy accounts from different servers somehow?
Absolutely authoritarian.
Education campaigns are far more effective with far less pushback than draconian bans. Let people choose for themselves.
I remember constant campaigns in the past trying to convince the public of the ills of smoking, and it (slowly) appeared to be working. Then vaping came along, and instead of continuing the education campaigns, the health departments tactics seemed to change to “take up vaping, it’s better than smoking”.
And now, it may just be anecdotal, but smoking appears to me at least, to be on the rise again. I wonder why?
LABOUR rail minister threatened a company with severe financial and reputational damage if they didn’t fire one engineer for doing his job. It’s great to see New New Labour being so pro-worker…
Will we buggery.
I love making the streets of London glisten gold. It really perks me up when Aberdeen’s granite shines silver in the sun as it helps me imagine what those poor struggling toffs in London have got via our labour and I’m glad I could do my bit to help. /s
What a strange story. First, they call the middle of Lidl infamous, not famous. What’s infamous about it?
Second, they do a mass product recall because of one complaint? They claim the product has had stringent testing and has sold for years in Europe without issue, but they recall it due to one complaint?
If the complaint is legitimate, then this is a good thing, but I just can’t wrap my head around their claim of stringent testing and crumbling at the merest mention of an issue. I also don’t understand what the issue with the igloos really is, they appear no less dangerous than a fence or hedge
It is when you’re trying to run a pyramid scheme. How else are those at the top expected to stay there if they don’t have a large foundation of exploitable young minds?
You mean those eco-TERRORISTS?!
They’re a threat to our nation wealth, with their desire to make life better, bastards, they should be the last to come out!
/s if it wasn’t obvious enough
Boris Johnson? The ex ex ex Prime Minister? This is one very stale meme

Fuck the owners, grow food, grow community.
GrowVeg on YouTube is a great resource, but there’s hundreds, thousands, of people teaching gardening all over the place.
Don’t have a boring patch of grass in your garden that does nothing for you, for biodiversity, or for your community. That’s what the aristocracy did to show off how much land they have and how rich they are that it doesn’t even need to be productive. We don’t need that arrogance.
Grow carrots, tomatoes, strawberries, onions, cabbage, you’d be surprised how many varieties there are that you would think don’t exist looking in the supermarkets.
Be punk, grow food.
I generally play on difficulty 6. It felt the right balance of difficulty, sample rewards, and enjoyment, for me.
I’ve been playing since release, so I’m a pretty high level now, and difficulty 6 was just starting to feel a bit too easy, and I was considering bumping up to level 7 as my standard difficulty.
Then this update came out, and I’m lucky to make it out of a level 6 alive! It’s very teammate dependent and I find the quality of teammates has significantly degraded. That could be due to a higher percentage of school kids playing vs adults I guess, as it’s the summer holidays, but it doesn’t make it any less annoying.
Basically, people need to communicate more and remember it’s a coop game. Ping the Bile Titans, Chargers, Impalers, there’s others on the team that can help. Tagging where you’re going on the map helps everyone coordinate. Microphones are not required, I use mine only when an in-game communication method isn’t available or I’m being swarmed but still need to say something, probably about once every two games.
I don’t enjoy the missions as much as I did before the update, and I think a lot of the blame rests on Arrowhead’s shoulders but the user-base also needs to step up and learn to cooperate more in this cooperative game. Don’t one-man-army a bile titan, don’t ignore teammates that have found a bunker door, work together to increase your odds of survival, success, super credits, samples, and ultimately, fun.

What a complete twist of words. Buncha cunts
Does it matter? Ultimately, these are estimates. Educated, data backed estimates, but still estimates.
One larger than expected volcanic eruption, coral reefs dying faster than expected, whatever, all it takes is one or two things to not go the way they’re expected and everything speeds up.
20 years or 25 years, the point is we’re all kinda fucked unless we do something about it.
What we need to do has been and will continue to be debated ad nauseam, but we know we must do something.
