Don’t get me wrong, there are a lot of wonderful things about it, but living there is much worse than visiting. It is very normal to have mould all through your house and have to wear your coat indoors in the winter because you can’t afford to heat and the house has no insulation, we have staggeringly high levels of poverty for a “developed” country. Yes, people are friendly, the nature is some of the best in the world, and the lifestyle is relaxed. But the disparity between incomes and cost of living means most normal people are really quite struggling to make ends meet, the health system is a shell of its former self, and things are just overall getting worse quite rapidly. I know that’s not unique, most of the Anglosphere has basically the same issues, but we already started at the lower-income end of that group.

I promise you you wouldn’t like living there as much as you think. I agree our immigration laws are really shitty though, and you should be allowed to come find out for yourself what a crappy country we are.

Yeah, exactly, when you want to do a full upgrade it’s technically best practice to check if there’s anything which requires intervention. But I never bother honestly, and the one time there was an issue it was resolved by just uninstalling one package for another.

It does still happen occasionally that updates need some intervention, it is still policy that you should check the blog in case, but it’s only happened once in the last two years for me.

Not too many ideally

Nah, it’s from it developing in puberty

The people doing the guillotining weren’t the state (at first anyway)

A normal dose is more like 0.01g for someone with no tolerance

Sure, sure, but I don’t think Zohran would believe it.

they’ve probably started blowing smoke up his ass about a potential presidential run

Not saying you’re wrong about the general point but this isn’t possible, he wasn’t born a citizen of the USA.

The markets authority and antitrust offices are different people than the chat control people, they aren’t a unified organisation, they will probably argue about it.

That might have been true 40 years ago but those times are gone, you just haven’t realised it yet

Everybody wins!

Except the Brits, haha
