The video that's linked in the original post goes into some of that. From the misappropriation of money during the pandemic, inflation Vs interest, failure to tax that misappropriated money back. I just borrowed his click baity title.

The pothole thing has to be one of the dumbest arguments.

There's no problems with reporting potholes.

The delays in fixing them are because councils are skint and have to plan when best to fix them to minimise impact.

Don't worry. If the killer robot police are made by Tesla they'll be dog shit.

You buy several matching sets and can't match the lids to the tubs so you buy more sets and make the problem worse.

You also have one piece of cutlery that you hate and you don't know where it came from. You don't get rid of it though. You'd sooner do the washing up while starving than use that stupid slightly wider fork, but it stays in the draw just in case.

I feel like back in the day trolling was more of an art where you'd say something stupid to expose someone's cognitive dissonance.

Now it just refers to people being dicks. Trolling itself has become enshittified.

This is actually pretty interesting. I wish I could pin someone else's comment. Thanks.

That would still be two layers. Although folding all the corners would allow four fold to equal two.

.ml vs .world fights are always hilarious. And for that reason, they should stay federated.

But that would be two folds, and arguably two layers if the area of the middle section is bigger than the outer sections added together.

In most official settings height and weight are measured in metric.

Imperial sort of sticks around culturally because people's measurements are meaningless unless they're relative and you pick that frame of reference up from your family. Nobody can imagine what a 100kg man looks like, but they can imagine a 16 stone man.

Wouldn't the neighbours house already being on fire be considered a pre existing condition?
