Concerned Bystander

@AcademicAgent_X David Braben would be an obvious one. Not only did he create the Elite franchise but pretty much the entire space exploration/trading/combat genre.

Been thinking about a "Game Designer" Mount Rushmore. Miyamoto and Sid Meier are both locks, but the other two spots are interesting to think about. I feel like these are in contention: Todd Howard (Elderscrolls, Fallout) Will Wright (Sim City, Sims) John Carmack (Doom, Quake) Hidetaka Miyazaki (Dark Souls, Elden Ring) Gabe Newell (Half-Life, Portal) Ron Gilbert (Monkey Island, Maniac Mansion)

@HazelAppleyard I wouldn't even be opposed to offering a portion of what it would have cost to keep the criminal in prison here to their home country as an incentive to take them back. Subject to random visits by embassy staff of course just to make sure they are actually being kept in prison.

YES

@LBC I didn't realise there was still anyone out there deluded or dishonest enough to be trotting out this tired old myth.

'Men don't lose anything, women do.' Campaigner Joeli Brearley reveals that the gender pay gap could be reduced by 4% if paternity leave was increased.

@saggybrian How many people apply for any given vacancy at McDonalds? They hire more youngsters because they can pay them less, that does not mean there isn't sufficient numbers of older people applying for the vacancies.

@Slightly_Magic I actually don't think u21s should earn the same as over 21s because in life you need to suffer at the start. But the fact Remains you're missing the point mainly young people apply for these places. McDonald's isn't going out picking them of the street

The Mail doesn't think seem to think workers, of all ages, are worth £15 an hour. That's fair pay for a fair day's work, with money workers will put back into the economy. We are the party for workers. Vote Green on 7th May.

@saggybrian Good grief, they will obviously hire younger people if they can pay them less. If you remove the age difference for minimum wage there is no incentive to hire young inexperienced staff and if the older workers want more shifts then great, that means you can hire even less people.

@Slightly_Magic They can't because 60 percent of the workforce is u21 and older people would want more as in better shifts etc. you can't magically get older people to work for you. Or guess what they would all ready. You don't understand percentages

@saggybrian Your not taking away 60 percent of the workforce though, you're just encouraging the employer to favour older applicants over the younger ones.

@Slightly_Magic God you need help. Take away 60 percent of a workforce and see how well the company runs

@BBCNews Nope. Canada will beat them to it because they'll just kill everyone that has cancer.

Australia wants to be first nation in the world to eliminate a cancer - can it? bbc.in/4cJda02

@Sargon_of_Akkad It's a bad word precisely because it isn't a bad word. The left don't want a certain group of foreigners to be referred to by a positive term because that challenges their belief that all foreigners are inferior and therefore opressed.

I never understood why "oriental" was considered a bad word. Its a cool sounding word and "the Orient" sounds exotic and mysterious, which are always desirable traits.

@saggybrian So 40 percent of their workforce is over 21? You appear to have answered your own question.

@Slightly_Magic @edibletom @ZackPolanski Another post with zero content zero intelligence. 60 percent of McDonald's workforce in the UK is u21. Try touch grass one day

@Telegraph Might as well add nepotism to list of corrupt shit he's done.

🗳️ Sir Keir Starmer’s niece is standing in the local elections in Croydon, one of the safest wards in London. Some disgruntled local Labour activists claim she has been “parachuted into a safe Labour seat” telegraph.co.uk/politics/2026/…

@saggybrian @edibletom @ZackPolanski You have clearly never been in a Tesco or a McDonald's.

@edibletom @ZackPolanski Because they need an employee. How many over 21s you think apply for a job with mcdonals or Tesco.

@ZackPolanski So you want the big corporations that can afford to automate to get rid of unskilled jobs completely, and make sure that small companies can't afford to employ anyone and have to close down. Seems you have it all planned out.

@ZubyMusic @IAmSteveHarvey You're obviously a man that only drinks generic piss-flavoured lager. Try a decent ale and you'll change your mind 😋

What’s something people pretend to enjoy… but really don’t?

@HeatherSNP @theSNP How much is that going to cost the taxpayer?

🧒 @theSNP will expand childcare from 9 months to the end of primary school. 🗓️ For every child, 52 weeks a year. 🗳️ Make it #BothVotesSNP on Thursday 7th May.

@ToolDetector @LibertyCappy To be fair you can still be a metal fan without listening to either of those. There *are* other bands.

it means the person that posted it, just realised they're dealing with someone who is pretending to be something they're not, or be an expert on a subject they're clueless about. Like speaking to a woman who insists she's a huge metal fan, but cant name her favourite Megadeth/Metallica album.

I don't get this common reference I'm not really a movie guy Can someone explain it to me?

@libsoftiktok He's a bit of an idiot then isn't he?

@Lord_Talbot64 @GBNEWS yeah, it's a real mystery 🙄

@GBNEWS I wonder why so many churches are catching fire since mass immigration.

@MiaMunn @HazelAppleyard You only file taxes once a year. Just assume that from the start point you won't have to file during the 6 months.

@HazelAppleyard You can’t if you file taxes jointly, because tgere would be an interest statement to filr on your taxes during tgat year. And if you had been filing jointly and asked to file single, your spouse will suspect something.

Surely you would just not spend anything?

Zack Polanski’s criticism of the police officers response to the Golders Green attack was disgraceful. He’s not fit to lead any political party.

@BBCNews Hijacked by whom? They've been vile shitheels right from the outset.
