This is genuinely the current strategy of the Labour Party and I can assure you it is not fun to watch.

Age of consent is 18 in the United Kingdom, when the older individual has a duty of care for the younger.

I’m delighted to hear that I’m not alone 😅

My apologies. I can’t say I’ve done this a lot, as I’ve always been concerned this was the case. I’ve made the necessary adjustments.

You look nice today.

Hi, I’ve installed KISS after reading this comment and there’s one thing I don’t understand. Is one supposed to manually select their ‘Favourites’ or are they populated by KISS with use? I couldn’t find an answer to this anywhere else.

Please Do Not Go by Violent Femmes.

Have you not seen how big number can be? Number can just get so big. I don’t even care that I’m ADHD and I’m playing into all the worst stereotypes about us:

NUMBER GETS BIG

Elvanse (Vyvanse) has definitely made me more tense but it’s always made me less anxious and depressed because of how it’s improved my executive dysfunction.

Haskellers for Haskell.

An Ethicurean. I genuinely believe it’s the perfect cocktail but I’ve only ever come across it in a single bar in all my life.

• Serves 1
• ice cubes
• lemon ¼
• thyme 2 sprigs plus 1 to serve
• honey 1 tsp
• vodka 25ml
• apple juice 100ml

Full recipe.

Thanks for your input. Maybe non-Brits won’t understand that I’m not trying to be elitist. It’s just that, as far as I can remember, even in our shit-tier tabloids, he’s called the Taoiseach. Sure, it’s confusing the first time but I don’t think it’s the hardest thing to pick up from context. Prime Minister immediately smacks like a mistake or a lack of care.

I think the best thing would be maybe refer to him as PM in the headline (if there’s no better alternative) but then as Taoiseach in the article.

I understand their justification and I assume both the author and their editors are aware of the real term. However, before I noticed that this was from the AP, I assumed this story was from a less-prestigious source because referring to Varadkar as a PM felt like a mistake akin to if someone referred to Rishi Sunak as a ‘President’ (as the Spanish use it) or ‘Chancellor’ (as the Germans use it). I wouldn’t have even commented upon it if this was the Daily Mail or such but I’d have assumed the Associated Press would respect their audience enough to understand the word with context and perhaps a short disclaimer.

It’s less of a grey area because Ireland is a predominantly English-speaking country. The official name for his office in both English and Irish is Taoiseach. This is in contrast to the President of Ireland, whose official title in English is ‘President’.

I’m British and we never refer to Varadkar as the prime minister. Any news coverage here refers to him, correctly, as the Taoiseach.

EDIT: And this is coming from the country who, regrettably, are the reason why Ireland now has to be so careful to maintain their ancient language after centuries of us trying to eradicate their native culture.

Ireland doesn’t have a prime minister. Leo Varadkar is the Taoiseach. Sure it’d be less clear if the AP used the correct term but I don’t think that’s any reason to not use the actual term for his office.

Programmer chuds get bent out of shape that HTML is the single most influential programming language ever made. Think about it, Devs post code snippets to StackOverflow, rendered in HTML. An HTML-interpreter (aka a ‘Software Engineer’) copy pastes the snippet, transpiles it into a Python file, Java file etc. and later in the process you get a binary.

Basic Brogrammers rage against programming behemoth HTML out of bitterness that all they are is HTML’s compiler.

Just going to take the opportunity to point out that broad (not universal) historical consensus is that Jesus of Nazareth existed, was baptised by John the Baptist, and was then crucified. It goes without saying that Jesus being the Son of God, Messiah etc. is not the broad consensus.

I was diagnosed eighteen months ago. I knew I needed medication. It’s helped for sure but it hasn’t fixed everything and I am about to try a higher dose. Aside from the medication, I wanted to understand why I was different and why I had so many difficulties.

For anyone reading this comment and assuming it’s facetious, may I please direct your attention to the Rwanda asylum “plan”?

Can someone explain to me what Reddit’s costs are supposed to be? It’s not like they have to pay licences for things like music or have to host insanely large media files. Their content generation and moderation is free. For a long time their website was barebones and they didn’t have to make an official app. I can never even recall them advertising until recently.
