Sort of. But it's easy to understand their thinking.

A long time ago they were a left winged party. But nowadays they're so afraid of the far right that for each decision they ask themselves "what would people absolutely not expect from a left winged party? Let's do that!" Which has led to several more right winged policies than the previous right winged government.

I'm 30, same. It's also much faster to arrange something.

Of course, but that would mean delaying a purchase by a day or more

Tbh I could not be arsed to go somewhere to buy a gift card to then use it. I'm more likely to use another platform to buy a game.

It’s not that I don’t have values. I just don’t feel strongly enough about using Steam to make that trip just for a gift card.

Digital gift cards would be okay though.

Global warming and ecological crises make shifting diets away from animal products a pretty good idea.

Whether it's antibiotics resistance, deforestation, or greenhouse gas emissions, humanity is paying a very high price for animal agriculture at the current scale.

It's a lack of human imagination to think that animals without eyebrows can't suffer.

There are parts of (industrial) beekeeping that aren't ethical. It's up to people themselves to decide if they are comfortable with that.

For example outcompeting other native pollinators, culling entire hives by drowning or gassing is a thing, clipping the wings of the queen to prevent swarming, increased risk of disease due to lower nutritional value of sugar water

Supposedly centrist. They're curious whether being populist right wing on some issues will win over Reform UK voters. It's just that they're so curious and are doing this so often that they're well on their way into morphing into a right wing party.

so no one will protest daddy government.

Yea this is a problem..

Laughs in savage 16A

It's actually hilarious how paranoid the campaigns to switch plugs off have made people. I have met plenty of people who switch sockets of devices that are not in use off AND unplug the devices.

I feel your pain. Also the lack of sockets in bathrooms and the low standard height of sockets is annoying.

Yes, and type F is an example for international collaboration that the British could learn a thing or two from.

Type G fans might argue that a fuse in each plug is super safe, and they have a point. But it's made more necessary because of all the weird stuff that's going on in the electrical circuits.

It's an entertaining rivalry between the fans of these two plugs. I find the British plugs very large and inconvenient due to the fixed polarity. I'm aware of course of all the additional safety features. (People are always happy to explain those)

You could add 100+ safety features into a plug and it'd be as large as your fist, but it'd be a bit mad. I just wish someone with the right expertise could tell me: is it all worth it? Does the British plug get the balance right between user experience and safety? Is the type F plug unsafe compared to it?
