It is in fact, a matter of the government.

Steve Reed can do something about it.

Sharing it with everyone is, though. It helps! Chances are a European will hear about it.

Ew, spyware. This def violates GDPR

A true People’s Republic would have less surveillance noncence than this.

The UK is a literal 1984 in the works.

There are too many to list, but one that comes to mind:

• Pyotr Kropotkin. I’ve read his Conquest of Bread and although sometimes harder to read, it’s been highly enlightening for how an anarchocommunist society could self-organise.

I aspire to pass this well someday lol

What is Stripe?

Freeing the tiddy through tariffs /j

That sucks to hear, though; if you have friends overseas or nearby, couldn’t hurt to ask them?

You’re right, biological warfare would be a better term.

Never attribute to incompetence that which can also be attributed to malice.

Calling him a “vaccine critic” is rich; he’s a child killer. Due to him, directly, thousands of children will die preventable deaths.

I think a better title would also be “The Playbook Used To Kill People, By Spreading Lies About Vaccines”. Or simply, “The Playbook Used For Biological Warfare”.

Willfully not vaccinating a ton of people, in my view, is indirect biological warfare.

Hmm, I don’t know your situation, but if you’re living in Switzerland, Norway, the Faroe Islands, or Iceland, I honestly would just recommend staying there.

If it’s in Serbia, Montenegro, Kosovo, or Bosnia, then yeah, fair. But I thought none of those had good privacy laws?

Can’t imagine Belarus, Ukraine, Russia, or Turkey have good privacy laws. And certainly not any of the North African countries…

If Thiel’s mafia organisation (I refuse to call that scrap by desecrating sir Tolkien’s works’ names) has a deal with the NHS, then that should be ended ASAP. Fuck that, that’s some serious spying.

Capitalism is shit, and there are things where it especially NEVER, EVER should have any access, power or influence, directly or indirectly:

• Health services
• Parliaments, committees, assemblies
• Nature
• Housing
• Water and food
• National security

I wouldn’t take it up, honestly. Best to go for somewhere in the EU instead.

The UK is a US puppet state, and pretty much showing it.

It’s indeed ridiculous. At some point I had no internet access, no playboy, no drawing stuff. So, anyway, I just used my good ol’ imagination.

They always seek to control that which is natural: the urge to have a happy life, with pleasure.

They could better spend their time combatting the corruption within the Tories and Labour, and actually putting up a proportional representation system. Or yet better, workplace democracy for all. People can follow a leader if they want, but it’s nice if everyone else also can live as they want.

If they cared about kids, I think it’s better to educate them about how to navigate the internet safely. Prohibiting the internet for kids is one thing, but imo it’s a bandaid fix for bad parenting.

Better to tell them “never give away your real name, address, or age”, and “never ask for the same of someone else”. And that when they see something awful, it’s best to talk with their parents about it. Kids need to grow up safely, yes, but they should also be independent, not boxed in by helicopter parents.

When I was younger, I was often on the internet and mostly just visited the safe sites. Occassionally I saw the one off scary site but I knew to avoid it later then, or talked about it irl with friends and family.

Aah, I was thinking moreso like this vibe

I mean, in my area we do have the ability to put bicycles on trains and buses alike. Though you don’t attach them at the back, you just enter the vehicle with your bike.

If it’s a foldable, you can always enter for free (so no added fee on top of the fare). For non-foldable bikes the same applies, though if you do that during rush hour you will have to pay a small fee.

Super convenient, really. Way cheaper also than having a car (as in, the vroom vehicle). You bike from home, enter bus/train, maybe switch from bus to train, and then exit and bike the last few kilometres.

Don’t need to look long for a parking spot, don’t need to pay much in petrol, no need to focus on traffic, can enjoy the view or do work/hobbies/listen to music while travelling, and so on.

Only downside is that here the fares are pretty high, but the Green & Labour Party is proposing to enable unlimited travelling across the entire country for less than €60 per month outside of rush hours.

For comparison, travelling from one end to another of the country right now would cost €30 per trip. A typical 4-day commute of 40 km per trip would cost around €320 per month now (accounting for travelling both ways).

So, the Green & Labour Party’s proposal would result in fares becoming more than 80% cheaper(!) for everyone.

I usually like to play as Inward Perfectionists, though I would like to try out Idyllic Blooms too.

Often also, I close borders to everyone except refugees, and kick out all Fanatics of the Authoritarian, Spiritualist, Xenophobe, and Militarist groups.

Pacifist, Materialist + Egalitarian is usually my way to go. For civics, I like to get Environmentalist and Shared Burdens.

Main reasons for taking those ethics and civics is partially ideological, and partially convenience. The extra stability (from Pacifist), research speed bonus (from Materialist) and faction unity gain (from Egalitarian) is simply too good to pass up.

I usually expand until I have 3-4 chokepoints left. Then I just sit it out and watch as empires fight each other. I keep a big military and good relations whenever possible, and that always has worked well for me. I like to view my empire as the people’s dream come true.

I haven’t played in a long while though, because my ol’ laptop gets a tad bit too hot, sadly.

So I might need to go look at a new one… the issue is, I’m considering shifting to Linux, but idk what distribution has:

• good privacy
• good security (also fairly up to date)
• is suitable for gaming
• is FOSS, of course
• and hopefully, also has a UI similar to that of Macintosh. Or at least somewhat beginner-friendly, but definitely well-customisable.

Main reason is to get independent from US corporatism. I could try dual booting but I’ve never done that before, no idea how to do that.

Aah, gotcha, that makes more sense. I got confused then, I guess.

So they prefer to spy on what their kids are doing? Bah, those ministers are nonce creeps.
