    They were allowing kids to use phones in classrooms up to that point…?

    When I went to school, if you were seen with your phone out during class it was confiscated until the end of the day. And back then all you could use them for was texting anyway haha.

    Anything that might distract from the lesson would be treated the same way, that’s just basic sense for any teacher.

    Why would teachers stop caring about phones in classrooms, especially given how famously addictive and problematic to attention etc we now know them to be?

    Ah yes, hooman fee-mayles!

    Does anyone else find it unhealthily creepy the way people put a voice to pets like this to anthropomorphise them, and gives them a creepy toddler voice to boot?

    They’re smart in their own ways, but they don’t think the way we do, and we’ll never know exactly what they’re thinking or why. Let’s not presume to know what’s going on inside their heads.

    And let’s not presume to add our own vocal track to their thoughts. Especially a creepy toddler one.





  • 49% chance the world will end in just 25 years

    Giant meteor coming to wipe out all of the world’s life?

    predicted civilisation could collapse by 2050

    Oh, so just the collapse of current civilisation. That’s happened many, many times already.

    While not a good thing for those experiencing it, consider this. As we look back on previous civilisations, would we consider ours to generally be the best up to now? I’d say so. Perhaps what comes next will be even better.

    The collapse of a particularly large civilisation is usually a slow affair that is difficult even to spot from the inside as it’s happening (consider the slow crumbling of the USA currently for example).

    So while it is a period of turmoil and not a small amount of suffering, it’s not like everybody is going to die and humanity will go extinct, or anything.





  • Fascist Techno-Oligarch Elon Musk obviously shouldn’t be given any control over the United Kingdom’s vital national infrastructure. His track record speaks for itself.

    No private for-profit business or individual, international or national, should EVER control our key national infrastructure.

    Electricity, Water, Sewage, Health Service, Internet connectivity, Roads, Trains, Military, Aeroplane infrastructure, Fire Brigade, Education, Street Lighting, Police Service, etc.

    All are vital to the nation and the public interest, and should be owned by the people of the nation and managed by the democratically elected governing body the people have placed in charge to run things, without the capitalist profits driven mindsets of private individuals.

    This just seems like obvious common sense to me, and yet here we are, sadly.

    Imagine if they threw some paint in a crowded city center! Hundreds of women and children, slain by paint, strewn across the streets!

    We should add paint to the controlled substances list, require a licence to buy it, and require a Police Officer to be present during its use to ensure it is used in accordance with the state.

    Its ease of use as a terrorist weapon of mass destruction is just too high to ignore, which is obviously why Labour took the drastic action of placing this otherwise mundane protest group into the top tier Terrorist list.

    To be fair, taking away our universal free healthcare would be extremely bad. It’s a lifesaver, literally.

    Take my father, for example. He got hurt recently and has needed many scans, tests, pills, meetings with Doctors, more tests, etc to get better. Imagine if we had to pay for that?!

    I don’t want to fight aliens, but if they tried to take that away I think we’d have to fight.
