All aboard the LainTrain - We all love Lain!

  • Yeah, my very former classmates seem bewildered when I mention books we read for GCSE Literature. My grades weren't good at all compared to said former classmates.

    Its kind of shocking, do they just memorize stuff like robots for a few months then flush that memory?

    I could never do that, if i learned something, I likely still at least remember learning it, snd if i didn't then i still remember not understanding it.

    I can't hunker down and just memorize or somehow learn something without actually processing it and learning it proper, doesn't matter how important, but then again I was later diagnosed with ADHD.

  • Equal employment opportunity at Epstein island i guess

  • If you look at the yougov voting intention poll by age it becomes very obvious that predominantly young, online-informed people are actually voting Green, Lib Dem, Labour etc.

    If you look at the elderly boomers, age 50-65 and 65+ then its all Reform and the Conservatives.

    If you further look at where people get their information based on age, on which there are many reports including by yougov, you'll see that boomers get it much more from TV, tabloids, radio etc. At first i was confused at the radio bit but It makes sense - they own cars and listen to radio while in them.

    The call is coming from inside the house. This is a transparent call to internet censorship to stop left-wing discourse about the Epstein alliance and their wars in the middle east that the establishment finds unpalatable and drive the young to believe in right-wing lies. Kremlin's own rolling internet blackouts in Russia won't be far behind this initiative for the UK and the think of the children types on here will fall for it hook line and sinker, probably support it as Lemmy goes away even.

  • Lol Nigel and his pals have had support since forever. The NF and the london race riots weren't all that long ago. Boomers didn't vanish since then.

  • I had those exact kinds of lessons in GCSE history in 2014. It didnt matter, when i spoke to my classmates years later about it as working adults reminiscing they looked at me bewildered that i remembered something like that, they didn't seem to recall whatsoever anything specific they learned at school, even though i was the one who was awful at school and had way worse grades.

  • And its not just online, the traditional media is increasingly untrustworthy too, Ofcom has absolutely failed to tackle everything from GBNews to the increasingly obvious mask off reform support coming out of the BBC etc.

  • Another pair of eyes in the growing five eyes us govcorp panopticon

  • And when you do get quite literally sick from it all, good luck finding care, you're SoL most places for physical health, and for mental don't even bother, all you're gonna get is more stress trying to do the seemingly impossible task of getting an appointment, and when you are one day crippled and bedridden in hospital corridor, the RAC concrete will at last put you out of your misery.

  • hell yeah brother a350-1000 and not recycling maybe we should be friends 👉👈

  • Its a shame i really enjoyed the brainrot of seeing assorted yokels prattle on about how project hail mary is an evil woke movie that brainwashed them into being gay and also had too much dialogue and too much emotion and they skipped through everything that wasn't a shot of the CG ships flying around

  • honestly half the people in this country look like they have fleas these days

  • Glad you're aware of your issue. So why do you keep projecting then? Is this like a cry for help?

  • Sorry you're so weak willed you can't even do that. I never implied that's all you should do.

  • Lashing out at the wrong people? Who's that exactly?

    I blamed "govcorp" in my post, by which i meant the corporations, the capitalists who own them and the bastards that protect them and serve them in government run by and for the corporate scum in an increasingly fascistic manner, the corpos get data, state assets and cash, and govt gets money and cushy jobs.

    Word might be a bit cheesy, but it's a good one for the increasingly clear apparatus emerging in our present day dystopia.

    Who do you think i should be blaming? Immigrants? Trans people? Young people? Muslims? Because thats what the papers owned by the aforementioned 'govcorp' bastards would like you to think. Blame the weak. Blame the vulnerable. Blame anyone but them.

  • I was actually thinking of switching to iPhone because of how enshittified Android has gotten lately and how used apple stuff isnt that much more expensive anymore.

    But no, fuck Apple. We have no laws here that require this shit, but im sure we will, if not on paper, then like this - with de-jure laws and compliance-in-advance from the corpos.

    Same shit they pulled with energy drinks too and on the same shakey basis.

    I will resist for as long as I can against any govcorp that pulls this shit. I'm not going to be handing out my ID just to use a computer or browse the internet, I'm not gonna verify jack or shit, whatever it takes. Internet anonimity must be sacrosanct. This is a red line for me and i am willing to forego whatever convenience or entertainment to avoid it.

  • Maybe the dude doesn't like being surrounded by endless strangers for hours at a time who are up to god knows what with no breaks.

    Meanwhile being unable to relax, hear the dialogue or being able to pause the thing. Can't turn on subtitles or even take a puff without hiding it.

    Cant tell a joke to your friend without wondering if you whispered too loud or not, and whether the drones will descend upon ye, or wondering when the drones will descend on the professional brainrot consumers in the back of the theatre laughing the whole way.

    They probably spent the whole time wondering about timing toilet visits and whether they can really afford the snacks or not.

    Thats why watching movies at home is so superior. None of those are issues, throw the movie on the monitor and veg out on the couch in private, dont need to be self conscious, wonder if your make up is okay or if you've gotten too sweaty and instead be consumed by the movie, actually immersed, puffing away freely, pausing whenever, and subtitles on the entire way with maybe an audio compressor plugin and the audio level cranked down to be comfortable while keeping dialogue audible.

    it's why movie theatres are going the way of the dodo. Shit is just too uncomfortable compared to watching it at home.

    Most people don't like being surrounded by endless strangers 24/7, they dont want to live in ze alley with le european al dente bug eating pod style, they want to be as far away from others as they can manage without losing the conveniences of civilization and for all social needs we have the internet which is much less echochamber-y than whatever yokels end up locals.

  • yoo that looks awesome

  • I dont "watch" news media, only read.

    My sources, ranging from niche leftist opinion pieces to mainstream legacy media real journalism does not inform me of the specifics of the current situation going on in Iraq because i do not live in Iraq, not because there is anything wrong with the media in question, as you seem to imply.

    And no, dont be deliberately obtuse, that is what you're implying.

    I'm well aware of many other attrocities of the US empire, but not this specific situation. You could just share what you know with some sources.

    Imagining everyone around you as some clown that only consumes US state department propaganda must feel great for that big ego of yours, but it doesn't help anyone.

    Evidently they're not "basic facts" because almost no one seems to know about them apart from you.
