Rishi Sunak reveals his favourite meal is sandwiches in last-minute appeal to voters
  • What do humans eat? sandwiches, ive heard of that

    “Oh yes i enjoy regular sandwiches just like all other regular humans. A big enjoyer of sandwiches. Yes. Uh fillings? What? No, I look after my teeth”

  • How do you deal with eternal loneliness?
  • usually because it becomes very obvious the poster doesn’t want help and just wants to whine.

    The solution to loneliness? Meet people. Find something you enjoy and find a group you can meet, online or otherwise. Start to find ways to build relationships with people.

    “But I cant do literally anything to meet anyone ever”

    Laziness.

  • EU plan to impose import duty on cheap goods could dent Shein and Temu

    In the article.

    In the EU, the threshold for the levy is €150 (£127) and in the UK it is £135

    In the UK, items valued at £39 or less also do not attract import VAT.

    Last year, 2.3bn items below the duty-free €150 threshold were imported into the EU

  • [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?

    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

    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.

    House Conservatives Threaten to Block FISA Renewal

    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
