Umm… legal are telling us because of litigation threats we can’t use “dystopian” anymore, we have to say “alternative utopia”

As far as the UK goes, I believe .gov.uk, .ac.uk, and nhs.uk are all regulated and everything else is a free for all…

The lack of public transport is something I just can’t get my head around. Most British towns shopping centres are also transport hubs. People still complain about buses etc but they’re somewhat comparing it to London where many routes have 5-10 buses an hour and where any new major shopping areas will be sat on top of a tube or rail station. Britain still has large retail park carparks but you’ll almost always find them served by a handful of bus routes. I don’t think I’d ever be able to give up the combo of being able to walk 2 mins to the corner shop or hop the bus for ten mins for almost anything else.

Does America not have places like British retail parks? Where the parking lot is basically shared by all the large shops which are then shoulder to shoulder with each other? Maybe that’s what a mall is. Though I was under three impression the shops were constrained for size there.

“how do you compensate for the fact that your capitalist ideology cares very little for the fact that things valuable in a capitalist economy (resources) are not evenly distributed? how do you compensate for the fact that your communist ideology cares very little for the fact that things valuable in a communist economy (capacity to work) are not evenly distributed?”

C is probably closest to reality with light weight ceramics and so on. Though still very very far away from actual reality.

Saw it live in the West End, it’s excellent

Not really. They sound like someone who was raised conservative, thinks the foetus has some sort of status, but thinks they shouldn’t get in the way of others choices.

I went through that stage myself on my way out of evangelical Christianity. I don’t find anything particularly disingenuous about how they’re speaking.

In my experience when showcasing at the end of a sprint it pays to leave the visuals very unpolished and focus on functionality. Even if it’s trivial to use a UI library or other standard components. I deliberately make it look basic to help management / uses accept “it’s working but needs polishing”. That polish might then be me spending 10% of time on neatening UI, and 90% of time refactoring / fixing tech debt.

I wonder if they gave a little because he’d caused so many fact checks they didn’t want the uninformed to mistake it all for being one sided

oh my days

Are you referring to this?

But yet again, for the pro-lifers, murdering babies, no matter how good the results etc might be is fundamentally wrong.

Because that’s very obviously referring to the matter in the way that “pro lifers” would.

And you are ignoring the preceding:

I tend to agree with you that abortion should be available to all who want one because it’s not my damned decision to make.

I would read comments more carefully if you’re going to cast aspersions…

I don’t get what the problem is about this? The last tickets are worth more than the first ones, no?

They could just auction all the tickets, but the result would be the same

You are being perfectly reasonable and coherent by the way. Whoever is downvoting you doesn’t seem to understand the point of discussion.

Sad you’re downvoted for pointing out the truth, it’s not even your opinion!
