  • What would it cost England and Scotland fans to go to World Cup?

    Jump

  • As much as I don't like that anyone would be going and therefore supporting the US whilst the orange is alive... I can't wait to see Americans interacting with pissed English fans because:

    1. They will not be able to handle the chants therefore,

    2. Large fights will break out in the street and therefore,

    3. A good portion of the type of English fans who'd travel to the US now, will get beaten, locked up, and possibly shot by the American police. Oh and hopefully have a pleasant stay in an ICE facility.

    These types of fans are aligned politically with trump and farage so it'd give me great satisfaction to watch them suffer the treatment they'd happily wish on others.

    And if less comes back than went out that'd be a net positive for our country: a slight reduction in racist attacks and domestic violence.

  • He's the exception that proves the rule.

  • Those in countries with universal healthcare, what's it like?

    Jump

  • UK here, NHS is constantly being underfunded and gutted by contracting out to private companies, it still works but just barely.

    For example, ambulance target response time for a cardiac arrest, not a simple heart attack but full on unconscious not beating not breathing, used to be 8 minutes or less. Now they aim for 20 minutes and only achieve that 60% of the time.

    I'd much prefer a Norwegian style model where you pay say £30 per doctors/non-emergency hospital visit up to a cap of £150 per year with those who can't afford that getting those fees paid for by the government.

    Some additional things I would add would be a slowly increasing VAT on private healthcare until it reaches double the normal VAT, paying student nurses/doctors a full wage and full living cost loan for the duration of their studies, whilst working they do not pay the interest on those loans, then if they move abroad before the university loans are paid back they have to pay the interest back as well.

    This would massively increase funding for the NHS by taxing those who can definitely afford the burden because at double VAT the only ones who'd still opt for private healthcare are those who employ workers and therefore no matter how much they try to wriggle out of paying tax they can't avoid this one.

    The second would increase the number of medical students and stop the current drain of young medical professionals leaving for other countries.

  • Which computer-related belief do you hold without any foundation?

    Jump

  • That sounds familiar, I take it that was in Neuromancer? It's been a while since I read that book and The Difference Engine.

  • Eh can one really copyright the idea of an emergent machine spirit when engineers from the industrial revolution were already ascribing personalities to machines and Assimov had already wrote about machine ghosts?

  • Which computer-related belief do you hold without any foundation?

    Jump

  • I have seen machines develop ghosts and I believe all electronic devices could develop said ghosts but only if built with quality components that have large tolerance between normal operation values (voltage, current, etc) and fail values. If not then they fully fail to function before they start operating outside of normal parameters.

    With the rise of bio computing currently by using rat neurons which I think will collide with LLMs with their hallucinations to produce full on machine spirits within the next 20 years.

    I say this has no foundation as the only "evidence" I have is my own anecdotes and the rest is merely a hypothesis.

  • Few places nowadays is it legal to lay around & do whatever you want outdoors, usually getting cited for loitering or something. Thank goodness for beaches, we're mostly free here.

    Jump

  • Well yeah, even here in the UK the police or anyone won't bother if you're just sitting somewhere in public and not causing a breach of the peace... I mean when the sun eventually comes out, you'll see people laid out on every available bit of green space to soak it up.

    Your legal system seems very... antisocial?

  • Give me toxic womanizing female Bond

    Jump

  • ¿Por qué no los dos?

    As a somewhat straight white guy, I'd be totally down to watch a female bond end up with a polycule of a golden-retriever himbo and a cute, standoffish at first, scientist/plot relevant expert.

  • Honestly that's standard for a foreign national when appearing before government investigation committees, particularly one who doesn't think they'd do well when grilled by people with way more experience in arguing the point, see Mark Zuckerberg not attending his invite to a UK parliament select committee hearing.

    It'd be a bold and stupid play for him to show up and incriminate himself further, though it would have been entertaining to watch the moment of realisation that he's in way over his head spread across his face.
