United Kingdom@feddit.uk•Anti-trafficking campaigner welcomes UK ban on strangulation in pornographyEnglish
11·2 days agoWait didn’t we just solve the problem of kids being able to watch porn? If that’s such a success surely we don’t need this?

politics @lemmy.world•Obama calls Mamdani to praise his campaign and offers to be sounding board
31·6 days agoPeople here definitely do say shit like that. It’s literally the very next comment I read.
I read that as you saw a comment on here that said that?

Games@lemmy.world•Arc Raiders Is Already One of the Biggest Extraction Shooters Ever on SteamEnglish
6·7 days agoThey’ve done this with a few other games. I remember the EU5 review being really choppy and it turned out they were running it on like 6-7 year old hardware. It might just be a cost cutting measure to not buy the latest stuff for all their reviewers but I basically ignore most of what they say now.
Seems like trump is doing a lot of remodelling for a house he will only be in for 3 more years, unless…

Fuck Cars@lemmy.world•California quietly kills e-bike voucher program, funnels funds into cars insteadEnglish
21·7 days agoSo with the remaining $17m that would be 17,000 e-bike. Say that’s about 1/3 the cost of an e-bike (it’s more like 1/2 but some can get very expensive). For the same level of subsidy you only get 680 cars (average $50k, 1/2 subsidy). Unless it’s still a $1k subsidy in which case what’s the point, who will that persuade who wasn’t already going to buy one? So incredibly wasteful

Fuck Cars@lemmy.world•Society will accept a death caused by a robotaxi, Waymo co-CEO saysEnglish
24·10 days agoWe can’t just take the robotaxi companies at their word that they are safer though. Countries need some kind of way to test these like human driving tests. Some kind of automated verification system for each update before it can go public.
Otherwise who’s to say Tesla, for example, won’t release a buggy update that becomes worse? They are already releasing versions that allow the car to exceed the speed limit by x amount so to me that would be an instant fail on a test.

Europe@feddit.org•US demands EU reverse new climate rules to allow surge in gas importsEnglish
3·16 days agoSo they invest in LNG and then threaten supposed “allies” to protect that investment. You know instead of investing in renewables or anything

United Kingdom@feddit.uk•Digital IDs to buy alcohol by the end of the year – here’s how it could workEnglish
8·24 days agoDo we even have a big issue with underage drinking anymore? I see loads of articles about kids now not drinking as much as older generations, how many are getting drinks in proper venues vs house parties? Looks like the government with a solution in need of a problem to me.
That is to take this at face value and not see the nefarious reasons for introducing this.

Leopards Ate My Face@lemmy.world•U.S. consumers bearing more than half the cost of tariffs so far, Goldman Sachs saysEnglish
15·25 days agoMaybe some companies are taking a hit to profits? At least for a period, maybe slowly increase prices

Fuck Cars@lemmy.world•So this just happened in Alberta, Canada 🇨🇦. A driver hit a 17-year-old girl in a marked crosswalk, got out of his vehicle, got upset at her, before leaving the sceneEnglish
78·1 month agoShe didn’t even “come out of nowhere” looks like the driver should have seen her crossing with enough time. That’s assuming he even looked up from his phone

Technology@lemmy.world•Imgur blocks access to UK users after proposed regulatory fineEnglish
3·1 month agoI can’t see them actually undoing it. It will just become a thing that is no longer enforced. Once one company stands up to it and refuses to pay the fine, and the uk can’t force them to pay, others will do it. Once enough do it the UK will stop trying (hopefully)

RoughRomanMemes@piefed.social•Gotta get the little recruits started young!
14·1 month agoI could be wrong but that looks like the amphitheatre at Chester. The Grosvenor museum do these activities with kids where they are dressed up like in the photo and they March through the town to there. It’s kind of surreal to be walking through town, turn a corner, and get ambushed by an army of tiny, shouty romans.
If that’s all it took I’d have been drinking at like 14









The US needs more whimsy. “Crossing guard” just sounds way too formal
