It's a shame I don't have any modpoints currently, because I agree with this sentiment wholeheartedly.

We live in a post-truth world now; this is the new normal.

Firstly - there are a lot of angry and distrustful people in English speaking nations now, and no amount of facts nor data is going to quell their anger. If something disagrees or disproves with their established in-group gospel, to them whatever it is clearly either wrong or a lie.
And secondly - we have a ruling elite now that embrace blatant mistruths and are perfectly comfortable doing absolutely anything that isn't explicitly illegal, and willing to push their luck as far as possible even if it is illegal.

EA have been turned into a tax write-off; there's no other explanation why they would self-sabotage harder than the British with Brexit.

Population decline is good news *if* the population decline is gradual, IMO.

I agree that this planet is currently wildly overpopulated - the only people that a population decline is a major threat to is the 1%.

A huge conflict of interest exists with the regulator (Environment Agency) and QUANGOs (Anglers Trust for example) having their pensions invested in the very companies they are supposed to be regulating.

I'm rather incredulous that people are legitimately surprised that the private companies that run the water infrastructure in this country put shareholder profits before all other concerns.

Honestly, I'm legitimately surprised that there is enough of a market for TV to support an industry.

Not just with the enshitification and commercial operators trying to wring viewers for every penny they have; and not even for myself there hasn't been a single compelling reason to even bother with an online subscription, let alone something like a TV license — it's just bad value. I can get more entertainment value per hour from a half-arsed £5 game from Steam or GOG than TV could ever hope to match.

Not only does this sound like legitimately terrible UX; I can also type a lot faster than I can speak.

I'm one of the unlucky ones with two, living in a country where a considerable proportion of the 'traditional' diet is vegetables with high concentrations of bitter chemicals; and where alcohol consumption is not just commonplace, but an expected part of socializing.

Things like brassicas (cabbage, kale, and so on), rutabaga, turnip, and many others, are quite simply not food. It's not just a 'dislike', it's a gripping colossal disgust that is viscerally overwhelming and so overpowering that any unfamiliar plant is treated with the utmost caution and aversion until demonstrably proven safe to consume.

Having to explain all of this to the ignorant gets real old, real fast; especially in my experience those brought up on the relics of wartime ration diets.

Anubis isn't there just as a blocker - it's there to also make it computationally infeasible for companies to repeatedly spam servers with junk requests.

An average Joe/Jane Public doesn't usually care if they have to wait a few moments once to access a site. But that computational cost is soon going to add up for bad actors.
