These are my go to alongside more traditional sites like The Guardian

Good,let them go. They have all their wealth offshore and barely pay tax. They are the real scroungers and parasites.

Sex work should be legal as long as it is done willingly.Let them pay tax and work out of buildings. That would keep the women much safer than working on the streets and get into cars with people.

I am really poor by UK standards, living on disability payments which are among the lowest in Europe. Sometimes I have to use the foodbank in winter. However, in summer I also donate to them and also give to local charities and homeless people. I know a lot of people say do not give directly to the homeless, but I think that is wrong.I have been homeless and found a community of folk just like everywhere else. Some do spend it all on drugs, but many more do not! It is not my place to judge.

Time to start using my Mullvad browser sigh.

I don’t think it is only techy nerds, I am a granny and much prefer Lemmy. I no longer feel nervous when posting here at all as people are polite and are actually interested in discussion rather than simply arguing. And the premise that there can never be only one person in control is refreshing.

It has,this is a land grab. Israel is creating hard infrastructure for a prolonged occupation and to create more settlements. They are quite open about it.

Asking them to take down stuff that is clearly false and can endanger people is not censorship.

A woke mob, aka a bunch of people who think everyone should be treated with decency and respect People who will make sure everyone is comfortable and included in their woke mob .

Thank you :)

I am switching to Linux, and I am not all that techy and am a really old lady. You know Windows is bad when your grandparents are jumping ship. And it is not because I have a burning desire to learn a new operating system, or have taken on a side hustle as an international spy that mandates a more secure system nor did I decide I needed to supplement my pension with some drug deals and Linux was a safer system to coordinate my new worldwide cartel. No I am switching to Linux because every time Windows updates there is a not insignificant chance it will brick my laptop the way it happened to my daughter. Or how after one update my sound stopped working after another, the microphone. There is always something. So yeah the old ones are jumping ship even though I am not exited about it.I really hope it is not too techy…

I think that those in power really don’t care about the people working in our fields and roads.

This is exellent advice.Write the number of a solicitor on your arm. Because if you are arrested and searched,they will often hold on to your bags and things found in pockets,so having the number written on your arm can help a lot.

Oh, they are dangerous alright because they consider themselves righteous and having God and “Tradition” on their side. People who consider themselves righteous have no doubts that everything the do ,regardless how vicious, is meant to be by God. So all logic goes out the window. I think not all are like that, but they are a huge useful pool of people who can be used and manipulated with ease. Just like a cult, none of the decisions their leaders make are questioned.

Laughter is a great weapon, as even the Irish Bards of old knew. And the plus point is that it is true, they are old and weird. They want to go round inspecting children’s genitals…definitely weird. They rather mothers die than get medical treatment in an event of a dangerous pregnancy. Likewise, they think child marriages are OK. They think forcing women to have babies is OK but passing laws to help those babies live is not. They want to go back in time and roll back all the progress society has made in being kinder, fairer and more inclusive. They love conspiracies and think they have special secret knowledge . There is so much more,I hope someone turns it all into a catchy song that goes viral.

Nearly 60 and a grandma.

The dark. She is 27 and still sleeps with the bedside lamp on. I suspect everyone is still afraid of certain things, well into adulthood.

Turn them into homes for the homeless.

Yes/ I am glad they are gone. This piece was so fascinating to me because their kind and their way of thinking is so alien to me. How, how can these brilliantly educate people not able to see what they have done to this country?
