I doubt they’ll drop them with the Switch 2, but it’s an inevitablity that it will happen in the future. Physical game sales are becoming pitifully low.

Seeing as digital-only seems to be the future whether we like it or not, this seems like a good initiative.

I used to live near this woman, who had been swinging the lead for years: https://www.expressandstar.com/news/crime/2019/06/08/woman-who-claimed-44000-in-disability-benefits-but-was-caught-playing-bowls-is-jailed-for-18-months/

Take note that she was claiming PIP despite being perfectly capable of independent living. She used to get cars on the Motability scheme as well.

Do you think she is the only one in the entire country who has been doing this?

I think it is clear to anyone in the UK. The disabled community is now under attack.

Well at least you’re not hysterical.

Disabled people will now no longer be constantly reassessed for benefits, so that’s a good thing. The rest of the changes are for those who take the piss.

Though we should really be going after the triple-lock as well to save even more off the welfare bill.

Brave New World is definitely the more prescient of the two.

1984 has elements to it that have come true, but the overall theme of BNW of oversaturation of entertainment is definitely accurate to reality nowadays.

Columbia university is relevant to the conflict, because the US actually have a big stake in providing military aid to Israel.

We have no power over what happens there.

Wait until he finds out we can do fuck all about Israel-Palestine and he’s just wasted his time climbing a tower for nothing.

Deporting people who come here and commit crimes is a normal thing to do though?

I always thought Sarkar was leagues ahead of the rest of the Novara crowd

Not a high bar to clear, really.

I’m like Karl Pilkington with pancakes.

Have 'em when you want.

Have you heard of these things called “vaccines”?

Yes, extra security for your personal information is so irritating.

Representing Hamas, a terrorist organisation.

Yeah, that’s what they do on a news report.

There’s no documentaries claiming to give an unbiased viewpoint from an ordinary Israeli though.

It has been taken down because the kid involved is the son of a Hamas official, so there’s questions surrounding the authenticity and accuracy of the reporting. He’s not an ordinary Palestinian.

People really are desperate to start World War Three, aren’t they?

Also, part of that caveat is we’re partly comparing with a period during which doctors were on strike - but it’s partly thanks to Labour that those strikes ended.

Lol. So most of these “extra appointments” are actually just the appointments that should be there anyway.

Will it be like when they launched a load of DDoS attacks against Sony, of which the only impact was annoying regular people and doing nothing to the company they were supposedly going after?

This hardly ever happens anymore. I remember the days of the PS3 when it felt like a weekly occurrence.

It’s Lemmy. Anyone who is involved in owning a business is automatically the Devil and can’t possibly be a good person and do good things.
