UK: Under-16s to be banned from social media, Starmer announces

  • The news coverage here had a bit with a local resident, native Nothern Irish, stood outside the shell of his burned out home he'd lived in for 13 years, losing everything. He'd seen them trying to set fire to the car parked outside, gone out and told them that it would set his house on fire and they didn't give a shit and just carried on.

    It's got absolutely nothing to do with this stabbing, immigration or anything and is just yet another example of arseholes in both Northern Ireland and Ireland who will use any excuse to go and riot just for the sake of it. If it wasn't this they'd be coming up with some other bullshit excuse for doing it. They've been like that since the IRA ceasefire and troubles ended and they could no longer use sectarianism as an excuse. It's literally bred into some of them over there and perpetuated from generation to generation.

  • Exactly that because drives were getting cheaper over time so it saved Samsung money to refund at the going market rate and at worst case it would be just a few dollars more. When they penned that they never envisaged the shitshow we have going on today when the price of storage and RAM has 4x'd or more.

  • It doesn't need to as Ireland has a defence pact with the United Kingdom. The UK protects both Ireland's airspace and waters due to how close it is to our own. Due to the size of Ireland it would never be able to field a military large enough to be of any use operating on it's own.

  • So to defend the life of an unborn baby they're going to make it legal to kill the mother carrying it? What the actual fuck do they think would happen to the unborn baby in that scenario? Dumb beyond belief doesn't even come close to describing this and is a prime example why religion should be absolutely nowhere near law making.

  • Funny how they can work that out when it comes to their citizens who are ill needing fast treatment but POTUS and Hegseth are too stupid to work out that's the same reason they have Ramstein in Germany as part of their NATO deployment.

  • The fact that it's extremely specialised equipment that's needed to make the chips of which there is a limited supply due to there being basically only one manufacturer of lithography capable of making chips at the nanometer level that is required, and the factories that produce chips are extremely complicated to make. And you can't just make more machinery to make the chips because they require rare earth materials, China controls most of the global market for rare earth minerals and because of Trump they're rationing them.

  • It's turned out to be a typical American military shitshow. Because the US Navy is scared about being attacked by the missiles and boats Trump announced they'd 100% destroyed in the beginning of March they're actually not operating in the Strait of Hormuz but in the Gulf of Oman and Indian Ocean which is a massive area far too big to remotely effectively police with the number of vessels the USN has.

    Add in GPS location spoofing the ships have been doing and it's like trying to find a needle in a haystack.

  • "I'm going to punish those nations by making Americans pay more tax." And then finding that the tariffs didn't work because America doesn't actually make those products or if they do they're so inferior that people would rather pay the much higher price for imported goods.

  • That's because the US Navy isn't actually in the Strait of Hormuz where it could actually manage a blockade with the amount of ships it has but is instead doing the blockade in the Gulf of Oman and the Indian Ocean which is a massive area. It's not operating in the Strait or the Persian Gulf for fear of being attacked by the Iranian missiles and boats that Trump said he'd 100% destroyed.

  • The blockade isn't being done in the Strait of Hormuz but in the Gulf of Oman and Indian Ocean because the US Navy are scared of being attacked by the missiles and boats that Trump said he'd 100% destroyed. They've got no chance of a meaningful blockade in an area that large, especially with GPS spoofing that's going on.

  • It's not because of that, it's because it's not a blockade but merely Trump bluster. Turns out that the US Navy actually isn't operating in the Strait of Hormuz for fear of being attacked by the missiles and Iranian Navy Trump said he 100% destroyed but is in fact operating in the Gulf of Oman and Indian Ocean. Well that's a massive area, far too big for the US Navy to police on it's own and with GPS location spoofing it's like trying to find a needle in a haystack.

    3 US Sanctioned Iranian ships pass through Strait of Hormuz

  • It's got nothing to do with defending Israel. Wind yer neck in. Palestine Action is a proscribed group due to it using violence, damage to property and breaking into military bases to promote and further their political aim, literally text book definition of terrorism.

    Remember they're the ones who broke into a company, threatening the staff with hammers as they smashed up the place and where one of it's members broke the spine of a female police officer sent to deal with it, hitting her in the back with a sledgehammer as she laid on the floor.
