Our polling station is between the chippy and the offy - so vote, grub & bottle of booze to shout at the telly with!

I'm trying to be better, but I've done some stuff I'm not proud of...

Mate, I think you're missing the point - whether you "deserve" bad things or not is completely irrelevant - bad things happen to good people all the time, the universe does not care.

The only thing you can do is try to be better; but not on other people's judgement just yours - you are the only person who has to live with your conscience.

You may go to jail if you're doing illegal shit tho...

No it's not censorship because if you want to see Lemmygrad's content then you can join Lemmygrad.

In the same way, I like gardening and so subscribe to 'Gardeners World'; doesn't mean everyone else should be subjected to posts about weeding, feeding and getting rid of blackfly if they are not interested in that.

Yep, in other news, water is wet and the sky is blue....

Forgot "lack of money" - that helps too!

[–] ChocolateTeapot@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

Would like both - but obviously money's the priority if it's mutually exclusive!

To be fair, not just a problem with modern Christians, if you read 'Daemonology' by James the 1st (of England, 6th of Scotland and the one who wrote/edited the King James bible version) he took it quite literally too.

I'm still not sure if it's a case of 'wilful ignorance' of the bits they don't like, or a 'Forest Gump' "stupid is as stupid does" - probably both, with a sprinkling of grifters thrown in.

it's available at Gutenberg.org if you're interested; it's, um, an interesting take...

He wrote it as a response to the "proliferation" of witches in England - so with no agenda at all! /s

Yep, like being paid to their friends for PPE that does work or doesn't turn up!

Maybe Jacob Reece-Mogg could stick notes to their desks and they might 'get the message'

/S - deep eye roll & depression!

Just speculation, but it might be that it's "not onion-y" because it is completely believable and "par for the course" of the US's relationship with Israel, despite the irony.

Might do better in "Awful Everything" or "A Boring Dystopia" as at least they'll appreciate the nihilistic depression of it??

But, don't know for sure, just speculation...

Blimey, Cleverly really is trying to lay the ground work, isn't he, it's not 13 years of Torry mis-management at all is it - it's those foreign actors. Do they send the boats, too????? /s

There's a difference between disinformation and "rigging an election"; disinformation will increase with AI, but most of the UK are not dependent on Social Media for information - and GBNews and TalkTV are dead in the water -"PopCons" are popular 'in name only'!

When even Jacob Reece-Mogg is starting to think FPTP doesn't work "the end is nigh" - and, bloody hell, they are scared, aren't they!

AI deepfakes? - Bring it on! We'll laugh at them in a very British way - with a bit of luck it'll be as funny as Python or Blackadder, or possibly Spitting Image!
