J.K. Rowling Blasts “Gender Taliban” David Tennant After ‘Harry Potter’ Actor Said “Whinging” Trans Critics Are On “Wrong Side Of History”
  • I think it's simpler. Those who are in power are gar too full whitted to really do not care and do not really consider this to be an issue. It's not so much that they agree or disagree with her, it's more that they just don't care

    I'm not sure that's actually better really but isn't any important distinction.

  • My disdain for mega banks knowns no end
  • So follow my logic here, as it's rather complicated. If I eat the food in the fridge, there will be no more food in the fridge.

    Anyway been poor has nothing to do with me spending money and everything to do with me not getting enough money. Rich people spend much more money than I do and yet they're fine, so clearly the spending of the money isn't actually the problem.

  • Pls someone make this reality
  • Dogs, and cats although they're unlikely to actually eat it, cannot eat artificial sweetener as their livers cannot break it down and it becomes toxic to them in moderate quantities. It is often used in a lot of cheaper chocolate, particularly American chocolate. Sugar's fine though, other than the obvious issues with it.

    Somehow dogs cannot eat large amounts of artificial sweetener, got changed into dogs cannot eat small amounts of sugar.

  • Northern Ireland minister Steve Baker to 'launch bid' to replace Rishi Sunak as Conservative leader
  • The conservatives don't need a new leader from the old ranks. They don't have anyone capable of doing the job already, so randomly replacing incompetence with other incompetence won't help them. They need to attract new talent to the party and I can't see how that's going to happen.

    The only way they could survive would be to basically get rid of everyone and start over which is also incredibly unlikely.

    Oh well, it couldn't happen to a more deserving bunch of people.

  • Pls someone make this reality
  • Better still there were a bunch of facts that were false when they were taught to you but for some reason were still taught to you.

    Like the obvious one, the tongue doesn't actually have different regions on it for tasting different things, a fact that you probably didn't believe even back then because anyone with a sugar cube and 5 minutes can disprove that.

  • Asian BrewDog Worker Sacked After Raising Concerns About EDL Presence
  • They're pretty bad mostly they're actual Nazis too. Fortunately they have the combined intellect of a cantaloupe so they don't really pose much of a problem. Mostly they're just loud and irritating.

    They're very vocal minority I'm not quite sure why a beer company would really want anything to do with them. The PR fallout doesn't seem like it could remotely be worth it.

  • India to mandate USB-C connectors on smartphones and laptops by 2026
  • Yeah, there was a BBC documentary with him in it, and they actually demonstrate this. Various scammers are arrested and even sentenced, and then for some totally innocent reason a mistrial gets called, and it all has to go to trial again, and surprise surprise in the intervening time the police have managed to lose all of the evidence.

    The only good thing about that whole case was that when they were arrested the scammers faces were broadcast all over national television in both India and the UK. Not that been shown in the UK will do everything, but I'm sure they don't have a great time in India because the locals hate them. Oh and also when the police are showing off their scammers, for some reason they make them hold hands with the police. It's really funny how unhappy they look about it.

  • India to mandate USB-C connectors on smartphones and laptops by 2026
  • If I traveled 100 years into the future I actually wouldn't be surprised if they're still using USB-C. A different version of USBC but it'll still be the same cable, the only reason they would upgrade to another cable is if they decided for some reason that it needed to be able to carry enough current to vaporize you.

  • India to mandate USB-C connectors on smartphones and laptops by 2026
  • Your comprehension of this technology is so limited that you actually think that's how it works.

    The letter simply indicates that the physical wiring in the cable is different to a previous iteration of the USB standard. There isn't a great deal of reason that they would change that now it has a pretty good potential for energy transfer and high data transfer speeds. In 15 years they might be looking at changing it but not any time soon.

    Usb and B came out at the same time in the '90s for god's sake.

  • India to mandate USB-C connectors on smartphones and laptops by 2026
  • They already are illegal. The problem is the police are corrupt and they're bought off, and the central government doesn't really care that much, so they don't do anything about it.

    If you actually report these people sometimes they do get arrested, it just depends on who the chief of police in that area is. There's a reason they're all in the same part of India and it's because the police in that area have been bought off.

  • The new Chinese owner of the popular Polyfill JS project injects malware into more than 100 thousand sites
  • Yeah I used to be guilty of this. Although in slight defense of myself I never used to use random sites like that I always used to pull everything from Google CDN since I can't see that changing hands.

    They may very well shut it down without warning, but they're probably not going to sell it to anyone.

  • Spoiler text renders as white on white when revealed

    When you reveal a spoiler the black rectangles go away and it then renders the text in white, but on a white background (light coloured theme) The text renders is exactly the same colour as the background and so you can not see it unless you highlight the post, this renders the background of the post as light grey and there is just about enough contrast difference to now read the text.

    When spoiler text is revealed it should render in the same colour as normal text. I'm not sure why it's white.

    See images below for demonstration.

    !spoiler text is hidden

    !spoiler text has been revealed but is invisible

    !text post is highlighted and now you can see the spoiler text rendered in white
