Trying to ditch brown and beige foods for vegetables. Struggling.

Left-wing.
Re. PIP/UC benefit cuts. Do people also realise that money given to those who need it doesn’t just magically disappear?

When you give money to the rich they sit on it and it stagnates. When you give money to those who need it they… spend it. It goes straight into the economy.

A point I never see.

Every flashbang could instead be a meal for a poor kid. Every hotel room for a National Guardsman deployed to fire at our neighbors could house a homeless vet. Every "less-than-lethal" bullet pulled from a journalist's eye could be already needed healthcare for anyone else. All of this is a choice.

You’re telling me that right wing voters that Labour was trying to appeal to voted for a right wing party anyway and left wing voters decided not to vote for Labour because they’re too right wing now? Who could have possibly predicted this.

Are my Linux peoples on here?

Had a problem with my Gigabyte B550m DSH3 motherboard where it literally just refuses to successfully install any distro. Any distro, any kernel, just gets stuck in a reboot cycle. Windows works fine. Tested multiple drives and even a different CPU.

Average annual energy bill to rise by £21 to £1,738 from January.

One of the highest prices in the world.

No curbs on profiteering - oil, gas, energy companies making record profits, fueling poverty, business costs.

Profiteers also get public subsidies.

Why city planning needs diverse perspectives.

Touring possible commuter cycling routes.

What I saw - Smooth pavement. Separate from traffic. Shade. Not too busy. Perfect.

What my female partner saw - Blind corners. No lighting. No escape routes. Too few users. Wouldn’t use this route.

Been here a couple hours. Haven't seen a Swastika, a tech pro pyramid scheme, or a single unsolicited boob or willy.

It's marvellous.

Bloody hell, I might have to stay.
