Some we’ve done in the last couple years:
landmarks from above
endangered UK species
musical instruments
famous toilets on film (went down very well)
things you might find in the garden (tools, plants, animals etc)
dog breeds
women in sport
bands on stage
ice lollies
fruit and veg in closeup
film posters
album covers
railway posters
Person who spends the majority of their time grifting for money (with small breaks to masquerade as a genuine politician) has been caught grifting? What a shocker!
In the last few years, their prices have gone up hugely and the quality has gone down by just as much (and it was already over priced and shit).
It’s been so irritating accessing the few tiny niche subreddits I still used that I’ve bitten the bullet and redacted all my comments and posts there and deleted my accounts which is nice.
The instance I was on Lemmy originally blocked access to the UK so I’ve joined a UK centric one. Ironically lemmynsfw still works fine.
In an effort to curb usage of online porn I’d already stopped accessing anything online anyway and actually bought a couple magazines for personal time instead which is a strangely nostalgic experience.
All in all, it hasn’t been much of a personal inconvenience. Anecdotally, VPN subscriptions are up.
How long before Rachel Reeves declares this a threat to economic growth and stops it?
One of my favourite things to do online is browse the comments of their torrents looking for the people saying “you’re so pretty” etc
And cut off water to 13,000 people for nearly a week and continues to blame “victorian infrastructure” for their problems despite being in sole ownership of that infrastructure for 36 years and not doing a single thing to improve it.
It highlights the hypocrisy at the centre of the UKs policy towards Israel. The hand wringing and pledges to make a hollow gesture if Israel don’t stop murdering babies in 6 months time. All the while using British military equipment and personnel to observe the genocide for Israel and selling Israel the bombs and bullets to do it.
You missed the point I was making that the systemic problems with the police mean that collectively they are all bastards.

Some Individual Cops May Actually Be Reasonable And Honest But The Institution Of The Police Is So Corrupted By Vested Interests That There’s No Way To Distinguish Between Those Individuals And The Ones Who Would Actively Cause You Harm Plus They’re Almost All Racist And Mysoginist Anyway So The Distinction Is Largely Academic
Two things. Firstly, patients are being harmed because hospitals are being forced to cancel planned operations and procedures, some of which people have been waiting years for.
Secondly, they just went on strike last year and won a huge pay rise, significantly ahead of inflation. The argument put forth by the BMA is based on bad data and misleading statistics.
There are significant structural problems within the NHS that need to be addressed, including some that directly affect the earning power of young doctors. None of which will be fixed if they keep going on strike.
Forced collectivisation of an entirely agrarian economy.
Industrial policy that encouraged small scale iron smelting in homemade furnaces causing huge environmental damage.
Agricultural policy that ordered the extermination of sparrows who then couldn’t keep insect populations down causing catastrophic damage to crops.
Brutally cracked down on any dissenting voices, including scientists who happened to point out the potential flaws in Maos plan
Contrary to OPs post, covering up the mistakes afterward and blaming outside influences and counter-revolutionaries rather than the failure of central policy.
How about fuck off
