Yeah that's what I mean about our horrible system of voting. It's pretty fucking tragic. Our current government promised voting reform but they've been wholly untrustworthy when it comes to the majority of their claims thus far so I don't know if we'll see it.

You may not be familiar with UK politics so I'll be fair here when I say that there has -always- been a section of the general electorate that have supported this kind of complete bullshit being peddled by Nigel.

Previously it was peddled by UKIP, or the Conservatives, or the Brexit Party, and even in some cases certain fringes of the Labour Party.

He's an old Celtic God, god of the wild and the likes. It's likely to be a sticking point for bullies in schools honestly. Which sucks because by all accounts he was kind of a bad ass.

I agree completely, I just think it's important we contrast this insane information with facts, whilst 30% is a sizeable chunk, 70% of the electorate view him as the complete clown that he is.

Our other big right-wing party basically committed suicide, and most of their non pensioner voters have since fled to ReformUK, as well as a fairly consistent trickle of politicians defecting from the Conservatives to ReformUK.

If the Conservatives hadn't gone completely insane they may well have split the vote between them, but it all seems to be coalescing around ReformUK at the moment.

For some perspective from the UK, only about 30-35% of the UK electorate actually support ReformUK, the party this fascist scumbag currently owns.

And a considerable portion of that % are only supporting because they're being lied to consistently by him, his cronies and a sizeable portion of our news organisations.

35% support would likely be enough to deliver that ass clown into power though as our archaic voting system is shit.

We should arrest him for his complicity in genocide and haul his ass over to the ICC to be tried.

This is one of those rare ones you don't need to speak German to understand.

I know this is anecdotal, but I've seen the inverse of this numerous times personally - In fact I've had colleagues offer to take difficult shifts for me without me asking as they knew I was having difficulties in the family.

Not everyone is out for themselves.

 

Afternoon all.

I'm looking to make the switch away from Windows, and I wondered if people had any advice, distro suggestions and so on.

My main use cases for my PC are Gaming, Writing and Image editing. Things I'd love to have working are all my games, Epic, Steam, GoG and Game pass. I already use OpenOffice so I'm probably fine with that. And I currently use Photoshop, so a good alternative for that would be good. Finally Spotify, Discord and VPNs etc

Any and all help and suggestions would be welcomed, thanks in advance.

Love that for us...

I suppose they've had the chance to test a lot during their genocide in Palestine.

Can't help but wonder why we aren't looking towards someone like Ukraine or Independent UK contractors.
