This makes me want to sing the Tetris theme.

That's a completely different handshake, though. Hamilton won the race one Russia, but his handshake still has Putin reaching out at a distance. The OP handshake stops just short of Putin putting his arm around him - they're much closer together, much more trusting.

Also both of these pictures are from many Yeats ago.

Meanwhile Suella Braverman's father used to run concentration camps in Kenya. Her family's business is literally running British concentration camps in Africa, and the core goal of the Tory party in the last couple years has been to reestablish that business, all funded by the taxpayer.

And that's before we touch on the point that the Rwanda deal is two way. The UK will accept "vulnerable refugees" in exchange for every small boat migrant we send over there.

The taxpayer pays to house them until they can be sent over. The taxpayer pays to send them over. The taxpayer pays to set up the infrastructure over there. The taxpayer pays to send over vulnerable refugees in return. The taxpayer pays to accommodate those refugees (who are far less productive than the ones we send out). Private businesses - particularly those outside the UK tax domain - profit.

If your model is supported, I'd recommend DivestOS. Always better to never have bloatware than to remove it.

Xiaomi phones have good hardware, but man, the bloatware is obscene. I hope yours can be hacked and I hope you do it.

You can bet I’ve already installed 3 meme apps

I'm guessing you won't do it.

I've also listened through Jon Ronson's 2 season series Things Fell Apart, which is on various culture wars over the years. That's well worth a listen to, it covers the roots of abortion becoming an issue as well as many others.

Yeah I'm all for that. However deposit schemes are also proven very effective at reducing waste on the floor. People will even pick up other peoples' litter if they can get money back for it.

It does wind me up that this is all painted as "think of the children!!" when it won't do much to stop children getting and using vapes, but at least it should address disposable devices that should never have been made as disposable.

Not a lot, the kids just switch to reusables, or continue to buy the same disposables from dodgy drug dealers.

Damn, video has been banned already.

 
 
 

I figure it's probably time this community has some formal rules, that way I can properly justify wielding a ban hammer from time to time. So far we've skirted by without a single report or any issues I felt worthy of attention, however someone finally broke my duck and sent a report.

This place is nothing without the users that visit and populate it with content, though, so I'm creating this post to ask you lovely folks how you think the community should be run.

Here's a set of rules I totally made up myself and didn't steal from somewhere else:

Rules

  1. No bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia. Code of Conduct.
  2. Be respectful, especially when disagreeing. Everyone should feel welcome here.
  3. No porn.
  4. No Ads / Spamming.

I'd also probably throw something in there about AI images, but I can't be bothered to write that now and my dinner's getting cold.
