Also causation vs correlation. Isn’t it likely that people with schizophrenia are self medicating, especially before diagnosis and treatment? I know that happens for other undiagnosed and misdiagnosed neurological conditions like autism and ADHD.

In the word of Jim Stephanie Stirling, “They don’t just want a lot of money. They want all the money.”


That’s caused by the black mould in her castle. She’s been fusing with that thing for some time now.


Dark City. Make sure to watch the original release, not the directors cut. Otherwise, enjoy.


For those that didn’t read it, a backup still remains in the US for now, as they only have 1 data centre in Europe at the moment, so not complete data sovereignty yet.


Now we just need this reflected in the response to grannies being handcuffed for clapping at Palestine Action protests. The Labour government needs to be raked over the coals for this.


They won’t do that. They’re also greedy racist fascists. That’s what capitalism is.


I work in the financial industry in the uk, we have to declare everything in our financials and have strict rules on gifts over £25 in value, how to declare them, what it’s not allowed, etc.
How the fuck is this not the same for politicians? We obviously see the danger to our economy of bribery and influence. How do we not do the same in running the fucking country! How is this even a question!


He’s using the by-election to pause the investigation into his finances, and hoping to use an election win as a mandate and proof that he did nothing wrong, because a crook could never win a fair election, right?!
The only way the other parties can respond to this, which is what they’re all now doing, is to not stand a candidate, thereby no vote is cast that can be used as Farage’s mandate/retribution, and the investigation will continue, which will hopefully lead to him being removed from his seat, and a proper by-election will then be run.
Basically, Farage is once again trying to distract from his wonton corruption by playing political theatre, distracting the masses, and giving himself a way to save face, or even turn it around to a win.


They know why it’s so bad. The last time they go so much shit, they completely rebranded the company to get away from the name Hermes. This is about stopping the message and sending a warning. Unfortunately for them, the Streisand Effect is real.


I’ve been using graphene for over a year now, had used stock android since the HTC g1. Honest answer, graphene is stock without the annoyances, and finer grained security configuration. Major frustration is banking apps/no google pay, but since I switched banks (which I did because my old bank funds Israel) the new app works perfectly fine, so your milage may vary. Lack of google pay is inconvenient only if I leave my wallet at home, which is rare. Otherwise, it’s rare that something is broken just because it’s graphene, and if it is, the forums usually have the answer.


This is the same institute that used generative ai to write a report about how our government could save money by replacing large parts of the civil service with generative ai, and did not disclose that they’d used ai in generating the report. They are scum who are working in the interests of billionaires and against the interests of the country.


Tony Blair can fuck off.


The actual barbeque is in good nick, and I’ve cleaned it with an industrial degreaser, so not much can survive that. The enamel is perfect and no discolouration from any visible chemicals spills, it’s just a well used BBQ that was left in the rain unprotected for too long.
My friend is coming round to help me drill a few holes in it and add some steel brackets to hold the grill. Should achieve what we need without major damage to the enamel, so I’m happy with that.


Two games have made me cry, the first is the ending to Final Fantasy IX, the realisation of who was speaking the monologue at the end, and what that meant for that character was so well done. After 45+ hours with those characters, the emotional release, I was just bawling and I still had to go to school!
The other was What Remains of Edith Finch, which is an absolute masterclass in storytelling. Each scene in that game is a mini dark humoured tragedy of each of Edith’s family members, that culminates in the revelation of Edith’s impetus for this journey through her family’s tragic history that she’s now undertaking. In those final moments of the game, after only about 4 hours of gameplay, this game grabbed at my heartstrings and I was sobbing like a baby. My partner of the time asked what was wrong and all I could say was “it’s just so sad!” Fantastic game, well worth playing even now.


Flared base. Approved.


That’ll help to digitise aLl ThEsE gAmEs that are coming out, eh Microsoft?


Has anyone agreed with your premise yet, or are they all still secretly conspiring to make you look like a paranoid weirdo?
Yes, yes, yes! It’s the only way to fight emissions from cars, to encourage people to leave their cars at home, and even bring in programmes and laws to actively discourage them from using their cars.
I’ve been car free for over a decade, and while it isn’t always fun, I do prefer a comfortable train ride to having to drive myself in traffic. And people love you complain about the cost of public transport, but I still pay far less than my friends on travel expenses evey month.
