Scotland has number control already, so how is Dundee situation relevant?

90% of my relationship is scrolling through Netflix or Prime menu screens trying to find something to watch

When GenAI fixes that and lets me say "Muppet Godzilla that runs like Tom Cruise attacks New York, and gets beat by the Ghostbusters" then I'll be a happy man

I'm sure it will move from summarise to generate at some point

"ChatGPT, This scene in Titanic is wrong. Rose is stupid and selfish. There is enough room on the door for Jack. Show me an ending where she moves over and lets him on. Plus the boat doesn't sink and put aliens in it too."

I was NOT at all emotionally prepared to start playing Clair Obscur: Expedition 33

Finished half the prologue and feel I'm having a breakdown

Would be interesting feedback to a student.

"This paper does not meet the marking criteria therefore has not been awarded a pass.

However, chin up, you are now qualified to rewrite welfare rules for the UK Government"

Yes, "interesting" indeed.

On the plus side, I won't need to update my profile on here till at least 2027

He probably can't belive his luck, as it could've been the case that this entire review was focussed on his party's choices in government

He's not going fumble this chance

Tonight I will be reliving my student days. West end, Ashton lane and plenty of alcohol

No, that's not how to use this

Imagine this hologram opening with

"WELCOME TO THE NAE-SHIT SHERLOCK SCHOOL OF POLICY -MAKING"

"My name is Pope Bananas V and I'll be your lecturer"

I saw someone recently complain that they need to stay on X because that is where scottish politics is for the "nitty gritty"

That nitty gritty is inevitably the stuff that people used to complain about and happend "at the fringe"

It's all fringe, it seems and that is what they want to read

I find that people who answer "Have you read the regulations?"

With something like

"I may, in most cases, have read the regulations except in the cases where I didn't want to"

Normally have actually read, and understood, the regulations

I think that Pope Crackers IV sounds like someone who can do brilliant, but unorthodox, things

The new currency plan is to sit and wait for Reform to wipe out Labour and Tory, then say "The currency plan? It's using Vibes backed Smackoroonies and that is better than this nonesense"

What do you read this as then?

Because I read it as saying the messages aren't cutting through, because the narrative has been captured on takes that are resistant to traditional political messaging

The call is to change the messaging, isn't it?

Calling for them to embrace the methods of populist communication

I don't see much different about this article than that green leadership bid one

Both say public narrative has been captured by emotional driven messaging and responding with "things will better some time in the future, once us serious politicians do serious politics " is pointless in face of that

Nah.

It's Vibes all the way down.

It isn't what has been done that matters, it's the vibes about what has been done that drive the vibes about what should be done

Yes

Politics is a bastard of a thing

Used to be that being on the "right" side of a political argument let you kill your enemies

For a while we made that a metaphor

I think plenty of people are still thinking it is

You know what could have stopped him? A currency plan

Though, rage quitting has just made me realise that Oblivion remaster is out now on gamepass

Well, there goes all my free time

I regret my choice not to save scum

I strongly maintain that the default select option for "by right your sprawling Empire title belongs to me" should be "fight me", not "oh, here you go. Can I keep one county?"

My CK3 iron man, in which I have cultivated a dynasty of super cannibal pagans, took down the Mongol Empire and then threw it all away because I clicked the wrong pop-up response and handed my titles to an idiot

I suspect many of these lists are negative descriptions of one list:

"Articulated the challenges of Indy clearly and passionately and the Wee Blue Book didn't help me. Waaaahhh!"

I've no evidence this isn't a terrible issue that is worth highlighting in a national newspaper

But also, I used to have a bit of paper that said "Peter can't do gym, he's injured"

Signed by "Mum"

That didn't actually get me out of gym

In the midst of wedding planning, and this came up

We are unsure if adding "1am: carriages" to the invite suggests we will be providing carriages. We are not.

My partner thinks it is unacceptable to update this to

"1am: get yourself a taxi"

Error message from Microsoft powerbi which highlights a failed refresh, which has been rescheduled for 31 Dec 9999

With all that is going on, I really don't want to alarm people too much but if you are a #PowerBi user better get prepared for the next "Millennium Bug"

You only have 2,912,714 days left!

Oh, that's good

Also of you substitute "practical joker" with "social media grifter" you get a really great description of today's political world

I knew I recognised that guy from somewhere
