Annoyingly they're doing actually objectionable stuff and all anyone seems to hark back to is the fuel allowance being cut to kill pensioners or however the Tories, Nick Ferrari, et al. want to frame it.

There's new geothermal being implemented in the southwest too for what it's worth - so it's not like it's not happening in the UK, it's just going to be at the extreme south and north.

It absolutely is. Nuclear waste is bad, but it's not nearly as bad as millions of tonnes of carbon.

The main issues people have that I've seen are:

  1. What do you do with nuclear waste?
  2. What if it explodes?

(And the ever present 3rd option: I don't want it near my house, and I don't want pylons on my land)

Is this an ethical take, or just a general one?

I'm using boost and am happy to have donated - it's a good app and the dev is decent.

I watched Goon instead. Will that help at all?

The account also seemed fixated on people from India, writing “Normalize Indian hate” and supporting a so-called “eugenic immigration policy,” tweets that are shocking to normal people but have become fairly typical on extremist social media platforms like X.

What a champ. I like gizmodos framing of twitter as an extremist platform though, that's a fun development that we should normalise.

Anywhere property is massively over valued this is going to be true.

Even taking off what I owe in mortgage my net worth would make me look pretty well off in the UK, but I earn a pretty below average wage.

Thanks - same to you!

I think it's a combo of being a "real" adult, thinking about the implications of things going on in the world (on yourself and everyone else) and the world being a mess.

Still, at least I'm old enough to be comfortable in my self (even if it's anxious, unfit, and aching) and generally happy to just be.

That's an awesome set of improvements - well done!

I can't promise to be any use to you, but I'm glad to swap ideas about what the fuck to make of our 30s...

He's holding it in case a pregnant woman needs to spend a penny.

Rugby is perhaps one of the gayest mainstream sports around.

Anecdotally at my university in the early 2000s the women's sevens tournaments were basically a networking event for the ladies who enjoyed the company of other ladies.

I have tinnitus and struggle in loud places to focus on conversations because I just get an unfiltered mess and f noise hitting my brain.

It sucks, because I can hear a pin drop the rest of the time.
