There comes a point where we need to stop just pulling people out of the river. We need to go upstream and find out why they’re falling in. Desmond Tutu

@ConnerBean It's a double standard. How many people buy something and pay a premium because it's what they want. Cars, food, clothes. We all pay extra to get the things we want exactly how we want it. If someone wants to pay off their mortgage early because they want too, that's it.

Paying off mortgages early is one of those things where I respect and acknowledge the math, but the math doesn't take into account the psychological benefits of not owing money to anybody and owning your house outright
The Money Cruncher, CPA@money_cruncher

My coworker has a 1.99% mortgage. That is something you should NEVER pay off early. Inflation is at least 3%/yr. Why would anyone pay that off aggressively? It makes absolutely 0 sense.

Pope Leo XIV@Pontifex·
When simulation becomes the norm, it weakens the human capacity for discernment. As a result, our social bonds close in upon themselves, forming self-referential circuits that no longer expose us to reality. We thus come to live within bubbles, impermeable to one another. Feeling threatened by anyone who is different, we grow unaccustomed to encounter and dialogue. In this way, polarization, conflict, fear and violence spread. What is at stake is not merely the risk of error, but a transformation in our very relationship with truth.

@Alex__MG @maxcownie_ No you thick twat. The only way that the wages would be enough is if they were single and didn't pay rent... I.e. almost nobody. You've really fucked yourself by not understanding the point. ANYONE ELSE. Anyone who pays rent. Anyone who has children. They would get UC.

The first is ridiculous. Tesco employee could earn £14 an hour and you want the CEO to work for £140 an hour🤣 Then get taxed half. Nah😂

🚨 NEW: Green leader Zack Polanski will call for policies to end the "affordability crisis" tomorrow - The introduction of a 10:1 pay ratio, whereby the highest-paid employee earns no more than ten times the lowest-paid - Free school meals for all primary and secondary pupils - Universal energy bill support for households and stronger rent controls - A customs union with the EU to cut business costs

@Disco_Stooo_ @maxcownie_ So we're getting somewhere now. Originally you said Tesco pay their Staff so low they have to claim UC. Now you're saying that if you're single and pay rent it's not enough. Looks to me like you have a housing issue not Tesco's pay.

@Disco_Stooo_ @maxcownie_ This is assuming they had the job first then went onto claim UC when they could be on UC and gain part time low pay employment to top up their money without losing UC and having to go into full-time employment.

@maxcownie_ Tesco claim something like £600m to in universal credit because they pay their staff so low. So the CEO can get fucked. If he is wants more he can pay them more.

Now I'm no HR expert but I'm going to guess it won't go down well if I send an email saying "Do you want a chufty badge for that?"

Two men bought a car each for £900k+ One man is facing a £300k bill and has to wait for months possibly a year to MAYBE get his car back on the road. The other got his car on the road by replacing a fuse that cost him no more than £10 May Armstrong is just an unstoppable force at this stage.

Jaecoo and Imoda cars. It’s gone from influencer paid love fest ❤️ to the public warning each other that it’s a mugs game buying one. Be surprised if any of the dealers are here in seven years. You can’t get parts for them. I’m such a de-influencer.

Me watching the F1 at silly o'clock usually results in a boring race so I apologise in advance for cursing this race.

Interestingly Fiat have now achieved price parity with the electric Vs hybrid version of the grande panda. Electric cars being perceived as a thing just for the rich is being chipped away all the time.

I promised a Europe vs UK comparison. 👇Here it is 🤯The difference in central density between Paris & London is striking. The other massive stand out is Brussels vs the likes of Manchester/Birmingham.

Honestly I think the Sugababes have more bangers than spice girls. I've never actually listened to their whole back catalogue and the volume of classics is pretty wild. I always thought of them as one hit wonders. open.spotify.com/track/2bHtGKrf…

London-based engineer Matt Cortland created an AI voice agent that called over 3,000 pubs on St. Patrick’s Day weekend to ask how much a pint of Guiness cost. The Irish government used to track this price up until 2011. Cortland stepped up with his “Guinndex”, which cost €200 to make and showed that the national price of €5.95. He used ElevenLabs to created “Rachel” and “getting the voice proved critical” (a Northen Irish accent inspired by a TV show).

Kicking myself that in all my time of graphing "X at a distance" I don't think I ever thought to graph it like this. It adds no data value, it's objectively a worse graph if you're a robot, but for a human it instantly makes so much more sense. Fantastic. x.com/i/status/20357…
George Marshall@GJMarshy

One way to visualise the UK's largest cities: 👉London is by far the most dense (and huge). 👉Manchester has the densest "core" 👉Birmingham retains high-densities into the suburbs more than Manchester. Other cities notably poly-centric.

@MarcherReborn I'm bias as an owner but BMW and Renault have made strides in not only their supply chain but also identifying what their consumers want and are willing to pay. Yes, they're more expensive than the Chinese competition but that doesn't matter.

There are 107 Chinese carmakers. All backed by the government, all intent on flooding the European market with technically excellent vehicles at a fraction of the price of legacy manufacturers. Wave goodbye to Audi, Renault, Mercedes, VW, Jaguar, Skoda, Seat, BMW, Citroen etc

@Drkmaher @ConceptJenius @SharpieDj I was the same. It wasn't even bacterial in the end so I didn't even need it. The pain from my Achilles after this was so bad I couldn't walk properly. My lower backs gone, my neck cracks and my elbow flares up when doing unrelated exercises.

The antibiotic they are dishing out foe the Meningitis B scaremongering is......Ciprofloxacin. The most evil, life destroying antibiotic class known to man. Dont believe me? Look up being "floxxed" or "flox injuries" with Fluroquinolones.
