    I know it is never going to happen Euston needs a full rebuild. It is, by far, the worst terminus in London. It is completely unsafe, inaccessible, and unable to cope with its capacity needs. Even Lumo trains are better.

    If a child is making such a choice, you should ask yourself why. Disabled children exist and they might not articulate such a need in the same way as an adult.

    "At least one parent at 20% of schools" is an incredibly strange way of saying ~0.04% of parents (assuming each school is an average of 500 pupils).

    Children have a right to socialise safely, with proper tools to keep themselves safe, rather than forced to be secretive about even owning a device. This is from a group of middle class helicopter parents who refuse to parent and want to move their responsibility onto the state in a poorly thought out one size fits all model.

    Liberals learned the word tankie from anarchists on Lemmy but they never learnt what it means so they call now call anyone unwilling to vote for the slightly less conservative but still conservative war mongerer. I don't even live in the US.

    I recently had the brief joy of driving a small car without power steering. I never realized how much nicer the feedback is. You'd think that it would be a nightmare to park but the size of the car meant that it was still easier on the whole.

    In a recent study it was found that around 2/5 of phones held by police had signs of tampering, including when they are supposed to get a warrant. If you want to know more Google, "40% police study " and it will probably show up on the first page.

    They did this before 2008 and it ended up being responsible for the credit crunch. Housing needs to cost an amount that doesn't require such extreme mortgages.

  • How serious are you guys when you talk about punching nazis?

    The biggest advocates for non-violence are white cis heterosexual men. It is the failure to recognize the multifaceted nature of violence itself. Punching a Nazi can mean that other Nazis stop looking up to them, and they stop being able to effectively organize.

    You should be selective and strategic with who you punch. Typically you will want to go for leadership, or the guy who offers a connection between two groups that you consider a risk.

    That being said, you should also consider that you probably aren't going to have as much success punching a Nazi on their terms. A lot of them are into their gym and guns so it tends to be to your advantage to catch them alone when you are in a group. Sometimes the opportunity will come after one of their demonstrations when they are walking to their car. Other times, it can be useful to find where they live and work.

    Punching Nazis isn't an everyday thing but its unrealistic to claim it isn't sometimes necessary. It works very effectively as part of a bigger picture. Alongside it, you can put stickers on their doors in the middle of the night. If the circumstances arise, you can do silly stuff like convincing one that another fascist is sleeping with his equally shitty wife.

    Paramount, Sony, 20th Century Fox, Disney, Universal, Nordisk, and Warner Brothers are all part of this "Rights Alliance" group. Each of them have used, or plan to use, generative AI going forward - which, by design, is unable to abide by copyright since it is trained on whatever they can get their hands on.

    This is yet more "one rule for them and one rule for everyone else" from leaches that are desperate to profit from the work of others and punish anyone who won't pay into their state-enforced protection racket.

    Quick note that I see the article is from PinkNews, who have recently had a large number of former staff come out against their leadership for transphobia, ableism, racism, misogyny, and an incredibly toxic workplace culture. This includes recordings of Cohen saying stuff that frankly promotes this sort of fan behaviour.

    This is what the last sentence in my post was about; I shouldn't have to include it. Please try to refrain from doing it in future as it perpetuates the toxicity that Reddit had (and still has) a reputation for. Its fine to pass over a post if you don't know the answer. It is also fine to pass over a post if you would never find an answer useful.

    That being said, since COVID lockdowns were lifted, a hell of a lot of places have become card only, making it necessary to carry one. Some people may have the privileges to be able to use cash whenever they want, but not everyone can. There are places where disability benefits disallow you from taking out the money you receive as cash; I think this is some sort of war on drugs thing. Another reason is that women's clothing is quite infamously lacking pockets.

  • I have degoogled but I find myself missing Google Wallet/Pay despite it being the worst spyware there is. I would like to have both my bus pass and card available on my phone in case I ever get stranded with out either. I've found [this app](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.yuanwofei.cardemulator.pro) but when trying to emulate a MiFare Classic, it emulated a MiFare Plus and when attempting to emulate a Visa or MasterCard, it just errors out and says to please insert the card. I presume I need some sort of sniffer hardware like a Proxmark3 to get as much data off the cards as possible, though I'm not really sure how to get the data from there to an emulator on my phone with the intention of out and about. Please only reply with genuine answers. Any shit about ToS or poor security etc. will be ignored.
