If you're using Windows it would appear it could be the Microsoft GDID. If you're still using the same browser it could be your unique ID they get from that.

There is a contract when you sign up to the website. It's in the terms they get you to tick that you agree to that you never bother to read. Top of the signup page on Reddit...

Here's the contract that you sign between yourself and Reddit when you continue to set up an account that you say doesn't exist....

The court issues a warrant for your arrest. Someone from law enforcement turns up, drags you in front of the court, you get charged at best with contempt and thrown in a cell.

Most likely because they're not dumb Americans so not as likely to fall for the bullshit scams you run.

If that's the case then why is infant mortality so high? If that's the case then why is the life expectancy of the richest people in the USA lower than that of the poor in the UK?

Nice but it doesn't stop someone who knows your Reddit name knowing it's you making a post. For example lets say it's about some financial trouble you're in, some legal advice you want, some advice over medical issues lets say something like infertility, there's a couple or married couple going through some problems and one of them wants to make a post asking for advice and in all of those cases you don't want people you know to know about it. That's what throwaway accounts get used for.

Brit here. Actually they do under the UK European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018.

This is wrong. Because of the UK Withdrawal Act every EU regulation that was in force when we finally left the EU on 31st December 2020 was enacted in UK law to allow the UK government time to then go over and amend/revoke if needed. As EU Regulation 2016/679, aka the EU GDPR, was in force from 2016 it automatically became part of UK law in 2020 when we left.

"A spokesperson for Zuckerberg told Forbes that the yacht crew had been operating on a different radio channel and "the assist was already under way" by the time they discovered the broadcast." THERE IS A WORLDWIDE STANDARD MARITIME EMERGENCY HF AND VHF RADIO CHANNEL AND THEY ALL MONITOR IT OR SHOULD BE. Anyone in trouble knows to use those set frequencies.

The UK NHS is actually four separate NHSs each run by their respective devolved governments. NHS England is run by and voted on by English MPs in Westminster, NHS Scotland is run by the Scottish Parliament at Holyrood, the Welsh NHS is run by the Welsh Senned at Cardiff, the Northern Ireland NHS is run by the NI Assembly at Stormont. With the population of England being ten times that of second place Scotland and accounting for over 85% of the population of the UK NHS England is the largest by far so it's stats tend to be the ones that get reported for the UK.

Or they're like me in their late 40s and early 50s with a bit of money behind them, mortgage almost paid off or paid off and just said "fuck it I can't be arsed anymore." I'm a lorry driver here in the UK, a "trucker" in American. I've spent the last 15 years aggressively saving and investing, I've got enough "fuck you money" that I no longer have to work if I don't want to. I'd already cut my days down last year to four. This year I'm down to 2 to 3 days - I've actually only worked one this week - and will be taking the entirety of August off in addition to the 33 days pro-rata paid annual leave I also get. I did toy with just stopping altogether.

I think it's more that people have figured out that they don't need to buy new phones every year or even every couple of years and that the improvements are so minute now that people struggle to notice the difference. Marques Brownlee recently did a Youtube video taking the same photo on every generation of iPhone from the original iPhone to the iPhone 17 and once you got to the iPhone 12 and later there was little difference with many people actually saying that 2-3 year older generations of iPhone took better photos than the current iPhone 17.

Britain actually has very good libel laws you actually have to prove you experienced harm as a claimant and if you lose you pay the costs of the winning side. You can't just file frivolous libel lawsuits like the USA. It's why Trump isn't suing the BBC in the UK.

Speech is still freer in the UK than that supposed bastion of Free Speech the USA.

The UK government held an online consultation. Tens of thousands of people under 21 responded to it and 84% of those respondents wanted it.
