It's was mused that the Queen Of England thought everywhere smelled like fresh paint.
Some people just live in a completely different world. I dunno why we give them voice/power.

Responding to the report, Sir Keir Starmer said the UK is "facing daily challenges on the home front"

The prime minister told Sky News' political editor Beth Rigby that Britain is being targeted by "very, very frequent and very, very serious" cyberattacks

Energy security is also a concern following Russia's invasion of Ukraine, while the PM also cited the threat of Iran.

"We have to guard properly against those threats, and we will do so," Starmer added.

So security and cyber security.
Not actual "war in the homeland". Like, people shooting people kinda war.

Why is it always the non-trans people making bathrooms unsafe.
Wasn't there a Walmart employee that was harassed in the ladies toilets because a customer thought they were trans?
Where are the stories of trans people harassing non-trans people in bathrooms?
...Or are trans people too busy trying to be themselves to even consider other people in the toilet?

Also, why the fuck are gendered toilets still a thing?

That was a day. A few hours, at least

Bloody hell is more of a surprise thing, tbh

I think we agree.
The intel trump used to order the strikes was wrong... The intel was wrong.
Presuming the buck stops with the president of course.

I doubt he actually cared enough about any briefing material. He probably went in with the mentality of "Iran is developing nukes, and should be stopped" then asked for intel according to that presumption.

I think trump would immediately throw a company under the bus for their "weak loser bombs" if they didn't perform as designed.
I think trump would immediately "you're fired" a general for spec-ing the wrong bombs.

I think the intel was wrong

Windows 11 and OSX are so outdated

I still read it as Magic The Gathering every single time

It's like "I have a windows computer, I install software on it and use the software. Why would I need more than 1?" Turns into "ooohhh, computers are great. All the things I can run and host. Software isn't just a gui".

It's like learning to love computers again

Interesting. I might try them, or see if I can get them.
But I haven't smoked in a decade, and I have no urge to smoke again.
I'm addicted to the nicotine now, instead of the habit of smoking. Which works for me.

Oh yeh. I wish smoking was just completely not a thing and never was a thing.

When I started it was very socially acceptable and cheap to smoke.
Then it got less socially acceptable (indoor smoking ban), and a big bump in price. I tried quiting a few times, but I always ended up smoking again.
Somehow, when working hard and under time constraints "going for a smoke break" was an accepted excuse to spend 5 minutes outside. Bonkers.

Anyway, a proper vaping setup, making my own vape juice and all that had me forget about cigarettes within a few weeks, and I vaped for 5 years. Maybe 8?
Still had an excuse to go for a break, but I felt so much healthier vaping than I ever did smoking. And I could still sneak a vape indoors if there wasn't time for me to go outside.

Been on the pouches for 1.5 years now.

So yeh, increase the taxes on tobacco. A small bump for vaping nicotine (imo, safer than smoking but not risk free). And ideally no tax increase for nicotine products.

I could see a minor bump in taxes for snus/snuff/chewing tobacco. It's still a risk to the consumer (because it's tobacco), but it doesn't pose a risk to 3rd parties (because it's not burnt or aerosolised).
