And the train magically drops you off outside your destination too, and totally not several miles away.

Neither do I. It very much applies to the UK.

What’s with this 4 year old fantasy/opinion piece being presented as both recent and factual?

Fuck yeah trains! Three times the price of driving and takes an hour longer on the rare occasions where it actually turns up on time!

Isn’t that just like a normal every day thing around the world though

It’s better thought of as a tax that funds the BBC, but it can’t be called a tax because it’s not run by the government.

It’s an outdated idea though that doesn’t make any sense in this era because it means that technically if you want to watch any live TV at all then you have to pay the BBC money even if you don’t watch anything by them.

Or you could just not answer the door in the extremely rare case that any enforcement officers actually come around and instead watch TV for free.

In the UK we call them Bum bags (butt bags)

Please no, there’s already people rioting over 3rd world citizens immigrating here, we don’t need to add Yanks to that group too

My dream would be to get a remote nightshift job and live in a house by the beaches of south Thailand

You’ll get ticketed for that in the UK. Keep left (right) unless overtaking.

But then people will binge it in one go and realise there’s nothing else worth watching and unsubscribe again. Think of the shareholders!

Hopefully it will change soon. Wayfair and a few others are currently under investigation for price fuckery.

Garbage title

There are a few countries that aren’t exactly friendly with the Western world and know our democratic systems have a weakness in that you can rile people up and get them to vote against their own best interests, damaging their own country.

The internet and social media in particular are valuable tools for this strategy, so it would be insane for them not to use it to its full potential. And that means endless bots manipulating the narrative.

Humans especially. I wouldn’t have to go to work if the roads all vanished

Weird how I always leave that voodoo boys “marine le Penn” or whatever it’s called mission until really late because I find it a bit tedious but the accelerated start would take place after that.

Possibly not. Cyberpunk is a gorgeous game and I really enjoyed the story and the power trip you get from all the crazy cybernetics that you can unlock. Awesome soundtrack too. However the core gameplay loop does get a bit stale, especially if you’re going for 100% completion.

It’s definitely a lot of fun and one of my favourite games of the past few years, because despite its flaws you can tell a lot of time and love went into this game, however I wouldn’t call it an all time great.

I’d take that as working class personally. You could be earning 500K per year but if you still need to sell your time and energy to pay the bills then you’re not middle class yet.

I always take the middle class as the threshold where you have sufficient passive income to afford a dignified lifestyle without needing to work anymore but may choose to.

Examples would be landlords with a decent portfolio, business owners where all the work is done for them, and people with substantial savings and investments.

If you have to work to pay the bills, no matter how much you’re on, you’re working class. This can even include millionaires in high cost lifestyles.

If you’re so rich that you no longer need to care about the value of money then you are upper class.

I couldn’t get past the browness of the graphics. Satisfactory on the other hand…
