The Tories were notably not a EU maximalist party and the only reason they added support for an in-out referendum was due to pressure from the side of the party who wanted "out". T…

The whole point of the Lib Dems supporting an in-out referendum was that in the event they were actually elected to power and therefore able to enact their platform, the UK would b…

I vouched this dead submission and voted yes as a support of the status quo, because you can trivially put "Elon" into search bar and find that they aren't a shortage of Elon polit…

My dad and I both bought a 4a (5G) at the same time, ours both died within a week of each other. With mine at least I know the issue was that it just stopped charging entirely, no …

I guess it's been over a year since the reddit blackouts, we were due for more ludicrous drama and laughably inflated moderator egos. I wouldn't be surprised to see similar posts i…

Previously she was elected by a coalition of the center-left, center, and center-right. Due to major losses by the center, she made concessions to get the greens on board as well, …

Any amoral schemes you care to share with the class?

I definitely feel a bit drained about my job lately, but then last night I was looking through my linkedin connections and basically everyone who left in the last 6+ months doesn't…

We have this nonsense in Washington too, I made an effort last time I went to pick up takeout to bring one of my reusable bags with me to avoid the 8 cent bag fee, they had already…

Funny to see this now. A couple days ago I was on vacation in San Diego and visited the San Diego Model Railroad Museum in Balboa Park and a lot of the traffic flowing through my h…

I'm in this situation with my car right now, I have the money to pay it off but why bother when I can make the monthly payment with savings account interest.

This is where I'm at. I want very little more than to than to buy some permanent property that I can remodel to my taste at my leisure, but mortgage rates just keep going up. Why s…

I think the argument in the macro sense about who is more at fault between the pervert store owner taping my conversations at their store and the pervert store owner who paid money…

I'm generally pretty pro "pay for the service you're using", but, I just can't bring myself to pay for youtube. It's so...creepy. I'll be in a small Twitch chat talking about donut…

Ha, one of the Seattle ones shut down is the former Dollar Tree on the Ave in the U District. They started a big remodel of the building right around when I left in 2017, thing bar…

Not for nothing, Postwoman has existed for years, but a couple years ago they renamed to Hoppscotch. Might want to choose a different name because I definitely thought you were the…

I bought a 6800XT because I was due for an upgrade anyways (I've come a long way since playing Skyrim 20 FPS low on intel integrated graphics laptop) and it came with the game. I'm…

As a frequent pedestrian, I can't square this thought at all. If the right has a red that means the crosswalk directly in front of the car has a green. I've never had issues walkin…

Personal opinion, I have negative interest in a platform whose name implies that I'm going there to get into a stupid internet fight with someone. Don't get me wrong, I'm willing t…

Ludicrous circus. If the Canadian government thinks social media should pay for journalism, they could just raise tax revenue from social media and spend the proceeds on journalism…

(1990)? Seems weird that AP doesn't include the article date even if it's one that predates AP on the web.

Yeah I can't believe this paragraph: >"For example, if you were told about two conversations – one about guns, taxes and crime and the other about gay marriage, animal rights and a…

I don't really identify with this article, mostly b/c it's talking about material goods, whereas the most I do with my friends lifestyle wise is play video games and go out to eat.…

Everyone left on reddit after 2016 are by definition people who viewed Spez stealth editing comments of users he didn't like as "not a good enough reason to leave" (with some new u…

Yeah I clicked this thinking it was a poorly made intentionally meta humour site...and I still have no idea whether it is or not because I can't interact with the rest of it becaus…
