  • And yet those weaker countries (a) want to get into the EU and (b) don't want to leave it. Absolutely nobody is forced to be controlled by France and Germany.

    The Euro also brought some positive benefits for its citizens, no longer having to pay bank charges all the time for conversions between francs, lira, marks and so on. Which arguable was the original point, rather than some kind of imperialism.

  • Well on that basis you lot should change your official language to Chinese, because there are 5x as many of them as you and you buy all your crap from there.

  • That's not stuff we're not ready to hear though; we all know that.

  • Gun control works.

    And OK maybe it doesn't solve the problem 100%, but it solves it 99%, and that's a lot of schoolkids that aren't dead any more. Look at any first world country for working examples; I'm in the UK, and yes we still have some gun violence, but it's a whole load less than it would have otherwise been.

    And it's incredibly short sighted to reject any solution that doesn't solve a problem 100%. Partial solutions are good.

  • What a dumb message. Of course this is not a drill. This is a phone. My drill doesn't have the means to accept incoming messages.

  • Not necessary. After the first round of billionaires has been dispatched, their nepo babies will see the writing on the wall and sign it over quite willingly without any kind of coercion.

  • Careful how quickly you spin them.

    Maybe don't ask how I know.

  • What is your special interest?

    Jump

  • Is that your own imagery, from drone footage for example, or are you basically copying Google Earth?

  • What is something that only exists because people are stupid?

  • So tempting to name a country that rhymes with Erika. But I won't.

  • When Digg has the “Digg Effect” and Reddit has the “Reddit Hug of Death” then what is Lemmy’s equivalent?

  • I don't remember how many hours I sank into that game on my Amiga. Loved it.

  • What flag is that?

    It looks similar to an inverted Union flag but one of the red stripes is in the wrong place.

  • If you've ever interacted with someone who speaks a different language, what is the funniest misunderstanding you've had?

  • Twit is a light hearted jibe, much like calling someone a muppet or a dingbat. It's not a word you would use if you really wanted to insult them.

  • Just curious but are we heading towards an "eat the rich" society?

  • OK so how do I easily buy a house 30 years ago?

  • Another friend once thought twat was a synonym of twit. First time she called someone a twat in my presence I was gobsmacked but thought I must have misheard; there was definitely nothing twattish going on.

    The next time it happened I made a note to raise it privately with her later. "You do know what twat means don't you?" "Yeah, it's another word for twit." "Er, no."

  • I mentioned once giving a person of the female persuasion a wide berth (meaning to avoid that person. I can't remember why, maybe she was particularly annoying or something).

    My friends face made me realise he didn't know that particular word and couldn't work out what a wide birth was.

  • How could digitial age verification be possibly implemented with privacy in mind?

    Jump

  • Not a cryptographic expert by any means but maybe something like this would work. This'd be implemented in common places people shop: supermarkets for instance. You'd go up to customer service and show your ID for visual confirmation only; no records can be created. In return the service rep would give you a list of randomised GUIDs against which the only permissible record can be "has been taken". Each time you need to prove your age you'd feed in one of those GUIDs.

  • Excluding all games you have seen mentioned by anyone on the internet, what is your favorite game?

  • I haven't seen "The London Game" on the internet; that can be a lot of fun.

    Most of the other stuff I like I've seen somewhere or other.
