Another post I saw on LinkedIn today 'Why do I care about sustainability? Because I'm a dad'
I really wish people would stop this.
You do not need to be a parent to give a shit about stuff. And honestly, if it took becoming a parent for you to care about the world, that reflects quite badly on you

"No one is angry about games not containing gen AI" is such a hell of a good point. It is incredibly off-putting to many customers, an absolute deal-breaker, yet there is no flip side to that, no consumer base clamouring for it, no demand. They can only try to wear people down into accepting it.
I saw this and had two thoughts,
No one is angry about games not containing gen AI, so if you wanna avoid being a part of the conversation it's easy.
But, since you have decided to weigh in on the conversation I guess we'll see gen AI made cosmetics in helldivers soon then

Donegal crash which changed the lives of 2 people. But what of the council's culpability? "there were no warnings signs, no road markings suggesting there was an upcoming severe bend, and it was a narrow country road." You even see this lack of signage on the N56 and bends where the speed is 100km/h

Thanks for spreading the word. I think people forget or don't know the terf colours (green white & purple), because there's quite a few similar accounts followed by mutuals. The 'radical feminist' bit is also common in terf bios.

Councillors win key High Court concession against government plan for smaller apartment sizes
Under the Housing Minister’s plans, some of the biggest cost savings for each apartment will be found by cutting down on floor space.

Breast screening information
Breast screening helps find cancer at an early stage. If it’s found early, it’s easier to treat and there’s a better chance of recovery.

It was already proposed by a Labour minister back in 1999 during Tony Blair’s peak.
Exactly. For example this gem from 1999 is now returning as Starmer policy.
Imagine Winston Churchill suggesting Jewish refugees fleeing the Nazis need to hand over all their jewellery so Winston can give tax cuts to Henry Ford, an American billionaire white supremacist.

Taking asylum seekers jewellery is a hardy Labour trope.
In 1999 Mike O’Brien MP immigration minister proposed legislation to take asylum seekers valuables worth over £2,000.
Asked if that meant taking asylum seekers jewellery in committee he said, ‘that is exactly what we will do’

Megyn Kelly suggesting Trump with teenagers at 15 is not “rape”.
It reminds me of Bred O’Brien who wrote an article & told us she weighed her child to see if she could carry a pregnancy at 9.
Conservative, religious ideology hates children.
Especially if those children are girls, LGBT or brown.

It also makes me sick hearing similar from some people I talk to in Ireland, saying if Ukrainians have money, they should pay.
I've no idea what it's like to flee war or persecution, but at least I try to imagine.
I wish more people would try.

Of all the jobs I have had being a chef was, without doubt, the absolute shittiest. Crap wages, awful hours, stressful working conditions. Even at the 'top' salaries are low. c€50k for a Head Chef. Run a kitchen for 50k while working split shifts incl evening/w'ends plus huge responsibilities.
