[Serious] What's your hot take?
  • Parents jobs arent to protect their kids

    I get you don’t mean this so broadly but you lose all nuance with this statement.

    Protect them from every minor mistake or risk that could ever possibly happen, and smothering them? Sure.

    Someone about to stab your kid? Protect them from predators? Protect them from various risks and hazards in life which every parent should be teaching them?

    • dont get into strangers cars
    • dont let strangers into the house
    • look both ways when crossing the road
  • Tethered Bottle Caps
  • what i think when people struggle with the cap hitting their face

  • This seems like a troll effort that went too far and became real
  • hammer smashed face, the album taken literally

  • Might be promising
  • “I build cars. I have machine to make holes. All of life’s problems can be solved with these two specific technologies I have built and everything else is a shit idea” - boy wonder muski

  • things you can only do with boys
  • Reading through this entire comment chain was interesting, because it seems everyone has missed each others points

    FlyingSquid I believe means like, parents having a photo album (ie, a literal traditional physical one my mum had of me) which contains like “photo of first bath” or “photo of new t shirt but no bottoms cause running around as toddlers do”, completely innocent shit mixed in with general baby photos. And pulling that album out is used to embarrass the adult son/daughter with funny baby pictures and “haha look at baby you naked”, completely innocent humour. It might be less common these days, generationally people don’t do it as much.

    nomus(?), killingtime(?) etc etc the others replying seem to be taking the comic literally as if the photos are solely of genitalia and thats the frame/centre point of the image instead of it just a kid doing something normal and happens to be nude.

    I am sure flyingsquid isn’t going around with photos of their kids privates to show to people / send it to people etc with the specific intention of showing private areas but instead like my previous example, the kid is in the bath. Or running around without bottoms or a nappy cause it was changing time. Who knows. But its a far cry from the extreme end which everyone else seems to be assuming

  • The home insurance shock hitting the housing market has landlords concerned too. 80% of landlords in ResiClub's latest survey say they're concerned about future home insurance increases.
  • Title grammar correction

    “.. has landlords concerned, too. 80% of landlords…”

    Missing full stop after too

    also fuck landlords ALAB

  • how to disable self upvoting?
  • its the default for all reddit/lemmy/other style platforms. The default assumption is of course everyone (in general) will upvote their own post. So setting it by default no one gets an advantage.

  • Rees-Mogg tells young Tories he wants to ‘build a wall in the English Channel’

  • "Stereotypes pitting "scroungers" against those in "genuine" need have been especially acute in the age of austerity."
  • The UKs biggest scroungers, biggest welfare queens, are also the richest. They pay little to no tax. They hoard capital, property, to drain regular people of their money.

  • Starmer’s Bangladesh comments won’t be forgotten and could come back to haunt him
  • One thing to always keep in mind when reading any hit piece against parties not currently elected - the current party (tories) know they won’t convince everyone to vote for them but what they can do is put out hit pieces on their biggest opponents to convince you the voter not to vote for their biggest challenger.

    Tory election gameplan

    1. Get all votes possible. They have their base, and just need to convince those on the fence to vote for them
    2. The holdouts against tory but not necessarily in labours base? Convince them not to vote labour and instead vote 3rd party. Dilute the competition into wasted votes
  • What charity should I donate to if I want to help the London homeless population?
  • Go buy homeless people in the street some food or warm clothing.

    Giving money to charities ends up paying for CEOs yachts

    rant edit.

    Go fact check the charities you donate to. The downvotes suggest people somehow believe charity is useful and directly. Its an incredibly lazy, feel good I did good. The homeless people you see every day? They don’t see any of that. Buy them food. Offer them clothing, maybe shelter. Actually fucking help individual people.

    Life Wirral School - Post Panorama Airing

    Im watching the Panorama airing, decided to check out what this scumbag school had to say for themselves. Their statement is infuriating

    > An undercover investigator failed in her basic safeguarding duties to report significant concerns and had she have done so on day one there would be no television programme

    You have ran this school for years, what the fuck

    > As a team of highly respected education specialists we see no justification whatsoever allowing such incidents to continue; the safeguarding of the children should have come first rather than a television show

    YOU ONLY CARE BECAUSE IT WAS ON A TV SHOW

    had it been reported like you say, it would have been brushed under the rug

    Shut this school down. Jail these cunts.

Mayhem Taylor Greene” and accused her and her allies of being “most interested in TV hits and internet donors.”  > > Even a non-Murdoch outlet is on the attack, as conservative Las Vegas Review-Journal columnist Debra Saunders demanded to know “who put Marjorie Taylor Greene in charge?”

    The full story about House Conservatives Threaten to Block FISA Renewal. Know the facts. Reveal the bias. Verity.

    cross-posted from: https://fedinews.net/m/ImproveTheNews/t/6522

    > House Conservatives Threaten to Block FISA Renewal > > * A faction of the US House Republican majority is threatening to block the renewal of Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA), which allows the government to collect Americans' communications if they're connected to foreigners abroad. FOX News (LR: 4 CP: 4) > * Those opposed to the bill, including GOP Reps. Matt Gaetz and Anna Paulina Luna of Florida and Tim Burchett of Tennessee, are particularly focused on including a warrant requirement to conduct such surveillance. The Hill > * The FISA database, which many progressive Democrats also oppose, was reportedly improperly searched by the FBI 278K times over several years. However, the FBI and US Dept. of Justice say it's critical for combating drug smuggling, cybercrime, and cross-border crime. Reuters.com > * While Pres. Joe Biden wants it reauthorized, former Pres. Donald Trump, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee for 2024, said to "kill it" because, he alleged, it was "illegally used" to spy on his campaign. However, it was Title I of FISA that the FBI used to improperly spy on Trump campaign advisor Carter Paige. Forbes (LR: 3 CP: 5) > * If Democrats vote against the renewal, Republicans can only afford to lose two members to win a majority. The Hill > > Pro-establishment narrative: > > * Section 702 has been a crucial tool for law enforcement and there are more than enough FBI policies to ensure the government can fight crime while safeguarding Americans' privacy. A warrant requirement, however, would prevent the government from efficiently doing this and put national security at risk. > WASHINGTON POST (LR: 2 CP: 5) > > Establishment-critical narrative: > > * In addition to leaving out a warrant requirement, this bill expands the government's Section 702 capabilities — making it too easy to violate citizens' right to privacy. Surveillance hawks seem determined to end privacy in America as we know it. > CENTER FOR DEMOCRACY AND TECHNOLOGY
