More AI generated shite from Ireland: Transport for Ireland decided, for some reason, to use AI for its Hallowe'en themed ads. This was roundly complained about online. Then someone decided, for genius reasons, to ring Liveline and complain about it.

For those who are unfamiliar, Liveline is a national phone-in show presented by JOEEEE DUFFY, who could start a fight with a brick wall. Every episode is about either a petty grievance or a real horror story. It's like a national whinge-in. I am going to listen to the episode (available here) and see if there are any highlights.

It doesn't even make any sense 😭 surely "secular religion" and "childless hedonism" are not the same thing??

I actually read a Red Dwarf fanfic about this once where Rimmer's parents had paid for embryo selection to make sure all their kids had high IQs and good genes because they wanted to make sure they all got into the Space Corps

All of these measures to "protect life" have the convenient side effect of forcing women back into the kitchen. IVF allows women to have children & careers, or choose to be solo parents. It allows lesbian couples to have kids.

Eurgh!

and quite cringe and weird with the hitting each other, just go to a metal/punk mosh pit

Hey, we don't want them either!

This is definitely worse than when Irish students had to write about Hatsune Miku

This is a license for stalkers & abusers ! No surprise from someone like Elon I suppose

"utopian anarchist" I assume means "it would be nice in theory".

I want a menu!

What do you think is the venn diagram of "people who go to The Network School" and "men who believe in the meat-only diet"? I imagine there's a lot of crossover

What a pisstake. Shit I don't want to use palemoon, are there any other browsers???
