Doesn't Poland also have a weird law allows parents to force their children to pay a form of "alimony"?

constant price rises out of contract

That doesn't seem unusual, plusnet tripled my Mum's broadband price when her contract expired, assholes.

A compromise would be to require a text summary of any video post.

There's a village not far from me called Shitterton. It's actually quite nice despite the name.

Sure, start with the Palace of Westminster 😉

TL;DR: they can only call fibre to the home (FTTH) fibre now, not fibre to the cabinet (FTTC)

In the UK it's illegal to pay blood or plasma donors, and I think the only time we've had a shortage is due to a cyber attack.

I think they do give you a medal or something after donating a certain number of times though.

I can never work out with google what is malice and what is incompetence.

I swear NATO is basically using the Ukrainians as cannon fodder right now. Or like suicide bombers: we don’t care if they die, as long as they take some Russians with them.

Pretty much, their goal is to weaken Russia by keeping Ukraine fighting to the last Ukrainian, not actually help Ukraine win.

If we gave Ukraine weapons to win, it would inevitably mean enough weapons for them to take Moscow, or at least get close to doing so, at which point Russia would probably launch nukes. That's ignoring the need to train them to use advanced weapons systems.

Funny how there's always a magic money tree for war, but not to stop pensioners from freezing. Guess we have to stop the Russians from taking our foodbanks.

It's usually a good idea to patch a ship before it sinks, rather than re-arrange the deck chairs.
