In the UK if you earn over £100k you effectively get taxed 60% (using PAYE)

I’d happily pay 75% if it meant public services were actually effective, but we have the double whammy of high taxation and crumbling services - that’s what over a decade of conservative rule does… Here’s to the next 4 years!

Sorry, that bogie came out of nowhere

Back in my day this was 99c

The story is great regardless, but there is a definate shift between the hyper realism I fell in love with in the early books, vs the protomolecule Sci fi of the later books - it was all necessary to close the story and the funky Miller chapters were some of the best, but there was defo the sense of getting to the ending for the ending’s sake

If there was ever another shot at completing the series I’d be first in line, but in its current state I can’t recommend watching beyond season 5

The side characters really did shine in the early tv seasons though - cara gee as a meld of drummer/pa was fantastic, the belter creole was iconic. Wes as Amos was perfect, Cas as Alex was (initially) great, Dominique as naiomi switching between belter creole/common was awesome - it was a shame the series suffered cause Cas was a pig, but I can’t blame Amazon for covering their ass

They’re worth sticking with just to see the end of everyone’s arc - memories legion is also great at filling some gaps all over the series

The show unfortunately drops off a cliff before laconia gets started - doesn’t end in a bad spot, pre time skip, but the shite with Cas Anvar means they’d have to remake the whole last season to resurrect it

From the developer of “club penguin Vietnam”, “Mr krabs overdoses on ketamine” and “penis enlargement pills (the game)” comes a new early access sensation - LEGO halo

Thank you for that I did not expect to be tickled so hard when I clicked - gotta respect the polish they actually look good!

Well that was an hour I wasn’t expecting to spend reading the half life wiki this evening

I gotta play these again sounds like I missed basically the entire plot when I played these as a kid

I’m at a loss with this one

Fun puffin fact: Puffins have conservative family values and mate for life, raising a single chick (adorably called a puffling) in the same burrow each year

Seeing puffin on restaurant menus in Iceland after learning this was a bit concerning

So hyped

It had no business being as good as it was

Thunder breathing, first form

I’d have lost 90% of my hype if it wasn’t announced

Cya in lumby

The worst, so far ;)

Wow thanks had no idea this was an option on my Samsung. . it was just hiding disabled in my settings as “lockdown mode”

I pay for 5g in London with EE with an LTE phone

I’ve turned it off - it’s too unreliable even 3 years later… Feels like 1 bar of 5g spends an age trying to get a connection, then slowly reverts to 3 bars of 4g, which is ultimately just worse than just using 4g

Could just be my oldish phone, or the concrete jungle, but feels like shite to me

jumping off point

Woah there, corporate informs me this is insensitive to Lemmings

Lemmy HR will be in touch
