@PensAndLens1 @myswearyaccount @GBPolitcs I’d believe it, same as the smooth haired fox terrier and Irish wolfhound, all the native breeds are dying out, especially those that were working breeds

@theninakai @BovrilG Only issue there is with habitual criminals having more drive, agency and capacity to follow through on their plans

@C_Small_ @BovrilG Homicidal tendencies, are these self-reported urges or based on actual murders ?
if the latter it may be due to the added agency and proactivity caused by the drug

@BovrilG MAD doctrine in action. You might take and win a libel case, but at what cost

@JamesPi80372206 @actsmaniac @guypbenson Gaza is on the opposite side of Israel to the West Bank. Separate territories with separate Palestinians with Israel in between

@n8935f83 @TRobinsonNewEra You don’t press charges in the UK, it’s the CPS who does that, you as a victim don’t have any say whether or not the police and the crown do anything

[WithBritishCharacteristics @ASystemNoName]

Cmon that’s hyperbole 😂 It’s an authoritarian state but it’s not like how you described, they couldn’t given a f about bugging a random students room or following them through the country.
Lived there for 7 years, studied in Fudan and SHU. Only students we were prohibited from socialising with were the N.Koreans in SHU, not that we want to.

@manc689909 @SlushMuppyPup23 @uniquefurnish More universities Ireland only has 6 or 7, desire to explore and go abroad, better access to courses (very hard to get into in demand courses in Ireland), get away from mammy

Lots of reasons, I went to China for Uni from Ireland

@venturetwins I got in trouble in university as I wrote a paper referencing an essay which I had written on the topic as an authoritative source, apparently it was academic dishonesty.

Clearly I was displaying frontier intelligence

@zarazhangrui I’ve created a mandatory skill for my writing style and switched to sonnet, it was really only with opus the Claude speak was an issue

Resolved a huge amount of the issues I had over the past 2 months

@SineadOS1 “They either don’t understand it, or…”

No need to be charitable, the calibre of our politicians is tragic.

[WithBritishCharacteristics @ASystemNoName]

When I was working in China, one of the lawyers on my team had to give up her job as she was marrying a police officer, and it was prohibited for a spouse of a police officer to work for a foreign invested company. This is the level of control you expect from China, not from the UK.
You must report every conversation with a journalist to your bosses on threat of termination, even personal conversations.

[WithBritishCharacteristics @ASystemNoName]

That is honestly ruthless, but would be very interesting to see the actual phrasing of the policy, because if it is as she described, her contacting in a personal capacity, I don’t see how “if you have any conversation with a journalist, you should make a note and copy the press office” is anyway a reasonable policy to enforce.
