pseudonymity enjoyer

god this is such a good description of the last cursed 18 years

it was a state school that tortured her, it was just a fancy state boarding magnet school (which is presumably where the "river's storyline is anti public school" discourse came from)

if anything she got taken into that programme because she and her family wanted the most challenging and advanced school, not her local comp...

also canada is probably one of the most diverse countries on earth so never let anyone tell you that multiculturalism erodes social solidarity

the thing is this is true! i still know people who live in canadian cities who never lock their doors, when i lived there *i* never locked my door

which did in fairness drive my at the time partner, who had moved there from the uk, absolutely mental

i mean not that we should talk about women politicians clothes but the coat was...... a choice

there was a clear aesthetic being communicated there

uh so my timeline has about the last six hours worth of posts and then just abruptly skips to five days ago?

have you not had enough by-elections 😭

(she absolutely should though)

I wonder how this works in the US? I have this season's flu jab but not this season's COVID jab because the UK heavily restricted access to COVID vaccines to only the severely immunocompromised and very elderly

which isn't selective anti-vaxxery it's heinously bad policy

well, neither kind yet (9 days!!)

wrong kind of doctor sorry guys try again

why has instagram decided that my ads should all be for yassified hospital scrubs

jude law is so underrated imo! young pope was amazing if you want to see him playing another stone cold psycho role

i literally don't even drink alcohol i just like having little sips of the drinks of the people i've gone along with because i appreciate all forms of fermenting

sigh, the problem with scotland having such a good craft brewing scene is that i want to go to oban beer festival, but its on the same day as paisley beer festival

yeah i literally use my surface for like... occasionally doing some word processing, anything sensitive or financial gets handled on my phone

absolutely not upgrading to 11 let alone the horror show 12 is shaping up to be

does anyone know what transcription/captioning services still use traditional machine learning/asr rather than llms?

i can picture this and it is beautiful

the "what is your path to a referendum if labour keeps saying no" question answered by labour becoming totally irrelevant

manifesting this trend continuing and a green-snp-plaid coalition producing independence referenda all around

the longer i live in the uk, the more like i feel the prothero character in v for vendetta was, if anything, underplaying the character of the media class

The Labour Party continues to be evil.

given the subject matter it's genuinely quite fucked that the only film of tess of the d'urbervilles was made by roman polanski

yes they should be!

and tbh I'm halfway agreeing with you: Brits generally wanting to move to Canada suggests that that's the country they should be emulating, not Denmark

brits: i want to move to canada it's so nice there

me: have you considered doing federalism, legalised cannabis, promoting positive messaging around immigration, lgbt+ rights, culture funding, idk, any of the things that make it quite nice actually

also brits: oh no we couldn't do that

'most successful multicultural state on earth' is probably canada tbf

but guess what country brits all claim to want to move to, even though they refuse to considered a single policy idea canada's ever implemented

saaaame we spent ages developing a machine learning algo to detect movement differences in users of consumer level tech for medical screening and seeing it all just get lumped into 'ai' as if it was some llm-ass over hyped predictive text is killing me

ok genuine question as a foreigner who doesn't understand how this works

does he have like, any connection to milngavie? do they just choose a random place that doesn't have a lord at the moment? are the good people of east dunbartonshire meant to just... accept that?

fears about 'family voting' were used as an argument against women's suffrage btw
