Lol. What a ludicrous idea.

How high do you want your taxes to be, for a start?


Is he taken seriously? Most of the stuff he says is ridiculed.




Many Chinese manufacturers don’t have close ties to the government

You sure about that? How do you think all these Chinese companies just magically appeared from without significant investment, most likely from the CCP?


Something that costs $3,500 and is very much a “luxury” purchase doesn’t sell loads?

I’m shocked.



Imagine being sad enough to do this with everything you buy, as if you’re actually going to make a difference to anything.


Parents are concerned that providing their children with a smartphone will open them up to predators, online bullying, social pressure and harmful content.

These same parents will also just shove a smartphone or a tablet in front of their kids faces to shut them up for a while.


Have you tried it for a few days? Once your eyes have adjusted to it, it looks better.



I have an LG C2 and I find Dolby Vision content pretty good, but only since they added the IQ setting, which boosts the brightness a little bit.

Also, I’ve got used to the warm picture settings. So much so that everything else looks too blue to me now.


Oh no, I can’t believe I won’t be able to watch the two shows that use Dolby Vision anymore.


This doesn’t have anything to do with Brexit.

As the article says, it was first put forward in 2006 and parts of it became law in 2016.


Remember, the government are doing this for your benefit.

There’s definitely no other reason behind it. No sir.






Not to mention the shockingly bad picture quality.

The 4k stuff isn’t terrible, but anything that’s in HD is bloody awful.


Yes, because supporting this decarbonisation means I’m pro-oil. Obviously.

The eco nuts I’m referring to are the “Just Stop Oil” and “Extinction Rebellion” types, who like to pretend we’re up there with the likes of India, China and the US in terms of pollution.




Does anyone remember the days when there were a few people who didn’t feel like they needed to make a political statement every five minutes?


What a shocker that Black Friday is all a marketing scam.

Amazon are the worst for it. Instead of reducing the prices of their products, they will often just add the RRP next to the existing price and claim that it’s 35% off or whatever, even though they’ve actually only knocked about £5 off the price it was already.


Are there people out there who are not factory resetting their phones before they trade them in?

…what?


Being pro-Palestine is so trendy at the moment that some people will unthinkingly parrot any rhetoric that criticises Israel, even if it’s horrific anti-semitic remarks like these.


Well yeah, of course teenagers will just want the most expensive thing, regardless of whether it’s actually any better.

Teenagers are largely stupid. We all were.


Just don’t use the Channels feature, which is stupid on a messenger app anyway.


NASA+ will be available on most major platforms via the NASA App on iOS and Android mobile and tablet devices; streaming media players such as, Roku, Apple TV, and Fire TV; and on the web across desktop and mobile devices.

What’s the betting it won’t be on LG’s WebOS though? 😭



I’ve had so many debates with people who say “socialism is a success, it works in Scandinavia”.

And I’m like, when have the Scandinavian and Nordic countries ever been socialist?



If the vaccines completely stopped the virus spreading, this may have been a good point.


The thing that increased anti-vaxx sentiment and theories of the vaccines killing you or whatever, was governments around the world going full fash with them.

If you don’t take the vaccine, you can’t enter establishments, you can’t work, you’ll be denied healthcare ahead of someone who has been vaccinated, fined if you don’t take it (in the case of Germany) etc etc. If you want people to get vaccinated en masse, this is entirely the opposite way of doing it. It’s no surprise that there’s now been a decline in vaccine uptake in general.

That whole period when the vaccines first came out and the governmental coercion has actively damaged public health messaging for the foreseeable future.


Who would have thought that looking at 5 pictures and a shit bio would lead to you not being able to find a meaningful relationship?




Give it a couple of days, the Pfizer CEO will be telling everyone how desperately important it is that they get vaccinated.

Because he needs more money, obviously.


The “fighting terrorism” argument didn’t work, so this is their new angle.


Almost like it was a non-starter. Who could have possibly foreseen that?

Best portable Bluetooth speakers?
Looking to buy one of these for use around the house, but I'm not overly knowledgeable about them. The Bose Soundlink Flex seems to have good reviews from the bit of research that I've done, but any recommendations from you guys on good ones to buy?
