I like how these things keep coming out as if generations are a homogenous group

I work with Gen Z colleagues that use reaction GIFs, I also know millennials that find them cringe

People like different things, you will always be cringe to someone

Guillotunes

Isn't gaetz one of the ones you wouldn't want near your kids?

Fair play, cheers for the correction

I bet you any money they still run the fart-sniffing "it's the sun wot won it" headline tomorrow

Draught Beer

probably a Pale/IPA of some sort

ideally a hazy with Citra, Simcoe, Mosaic and/or Amarillo hops

definitely something from Cloudwater, Sureshot, Verdant, Deya, Track or Lerwig if I happen to be somewhere with it on tap.

Though often for those breweries, I'd take a can over an alternative draught

I've always liked the distinction between needing your job to survive and being okay if it disappeared for at least a few months

If you have enough to mean you can take your time to look for a good job if you ever lost your current one without having to change your lifestyle, that's the minimum bound of "enough" IMO. Anything else involves compromise, so therefore is not "enough" by definition.

I'd say the idealised "enough" is when you can do whatever you decide to do without having to worry if you can afford it.

Both of these depend on the kind of lifestyle people lead and how much more they would do if they didn't have to think about money. For some people that idealised "enough" is unachievable, because they've decided what they want to do is make more money.

People that end up chasing money for the sake of having more money will often do so in spite of any moral compass. And FWIW I don't think there are a high percentage people out there that make "enough" by either of my definitions and that opens up all the exploitation that forces people into shitty jobs and situations they wouldn't otherwise do

Holding your breath lowers your heart-rate

Most professional penalty takers seem to hold their breath before a kick

I have a suspicion most players taking a penalty would have similar heart rate charts during it

How does any of what happened happen if the lib dems refuse the coalition? Cameron's government collapses before it causes any real harm.

Exactly, they fell for the lies, continued happily falling for them and operated in lockstep with the Tories for the whole 5 year duration of the coalition. They accomplished nothing they promised and could have even thrown the coalition out once it was obvious and limited the damage they were causing—they did not. The absolute most charitable way of looking at them is completely oblivious imbeciles, and frankly is that who anyone should be voting for?

Holy shit the lib dems were not victims in the scenario, they enabled the whole bloody thing. They're demonstrably spineless, stand for nothing and couldn't resist grasping at the tiny bit of power they got no matter how much damage it caused to everything they were voted in to achieve.

Well fair play, I've lived in labour strongholds for the past two decades so perhaps that's why I've never seen it from labour, but anecdotally it's always predominantly lib dems in these lists (e.g. per the BBC articles linked in the posted video description).

Personal rant regarding your options: (feel free to disregard entirely as this is obviously opinionated)

For what it's worth that's a sucky situation with both the Tory dominance (by the by, where on earth are you that's still polling that highly for them?!) as well as your labour candidate, but I personally can't ever forgive the lib Dems for making the Tories king in 2010 in the first place and enabling this decade and a half of shit we have all been enduring. Without them Cameron's minority Tory government collapses within a year or two.

But hey, at least they delivered on their campaign promises that were their red lines for going into the coalition!

Freeze university fees? Nah how about triple them. Alternative voting system? Nah let's let the Tories scare the general public off the idea for the foreseeable future—oh and give the vote leave con artists (No to AV had the very same people behind it) their practice referendum so they know exactly what to do with the Brexit one, which would likely never have happened if the lib dems didn't form the coalition.

They not only failed to deliver on every promise they campaigned on, they reneged on each in the absolute worst possible way.

I voted for lib dems in 2010 and I've never regretted a vote more, and will never make the mistake of supporting them in any way again. I and millions of others will not ever forget all this, so now the only thing they're demonstrably good for is attracting disillusioned Tory voters away from voting their usual way.

Even in this video the presenter details how they often used values from completely unrelated elections because it made them look better.

Worth highlighting that the more egregious manipulation from the Lib Dems would not be in a constituency where they actually stand a chance (where the video presenter is based and used as a source for his leaflets). The worst is when they're solidly in third, where they misrepresent their position and cynically try to take votes away from the actual alternative contender—you see more cases of that in the articles linked in the video description

Of course it's predominantly the lib Dems...

Literally all they seem to be capable of doing as a political force is getting a load of misleading dodgy charts on leaflets through people's doors.

Oh tbh I'm not actually sure, I've always pronounced it with the same "U" as in Uma, but on reflection I've got no idea if that's correct

I mean, I'm definitely not defending this massively overpriced bag, but an artist can spend less than a hundred on materials to make a piece of art, and it sells for millions

The value of the materials and even the labour that goes into making it are not the only things that determine the value of luxury items, value is heavily determined by scarcity in one way or another.

For the piece of art, this is actual scarcity, there may only be one. For the bag, the scarcity is somewhat crazily generated by the RRP meaning many won't buy it and therefore creating the scarcity to justify the value.

It's kinda a microcosm of capitalism, where value is created by the perception of value.

I kinda hate that this is a question that needed to be asked

Everything clever someone does with a camera is now gonna be met with: "is this just AI?"

I guess it was "is this photoshopped?" before, but that still implied someone did something clever

Seems out of scope.

for now

Damn if I've ever wanted scope creep

This has made me wonder—how well does proton run on ARM architectures, if at all

Of course, but that pretty much can only result in a world war

Do you really think he stops once the former Soviet countries are under his control?

If Trump gets elected, the modern world of relative peace ends and we're thrown into chaos and suffering with possibly no easy way back to stability.

The rest of the world breathes a sigh of relief.

We kinda have a lot riding on the US remaining a relatively incorrupt democratic superpower.

Putin is very obviously angling to start a world war with the US as a useful-idiot ally if trump gets even a day in office again.

So Max Cohen from Pi, but with an Unabomber quote?

Hmm
