@MrNickKnowles Apprenticeships being that good is precisely why there are barely any, or instead ones that are massively worse

Really worth considering before you go to university

@LarryBundyJr That isn't really a new game mechanic that's just like a weapon modifier / ability modifier that lots of games already have (Like Dragon Age, Prototype)

Just a thought. What would you feel about a design mechanic in a game where a sword you use was connected to your health bar? The more you attack, the lower your health becomes, but the tradeoff is the attacks become more powerful? You'd regain all health as soon as you stop.

@denisefortru @ShowMeLaTweet @classtecenemanl @AlrxCox You didn't have a TV because they were new tech and very expensive. That's like me saying 'no apple vision pro' yeah...because they're three grand and no one has them, not because I'm hard done by. Likewise with everything else you said

@Withinger @ShowMeLaTweet @classtecenemanl @AlrxCox You wouldnt. We didnt go out have a coffee. Had3 sets of clothes if lucky, no foodbanks. No TVs. Jobs were hard to come by and men used to queue at the docks in hope of work. We rented didnt own. No means of private pensions. Potty under the bed. Outside loo. Bath once a week....

The triple lock is honestly one of the worst policies ever thought of. Many of the people who say the benefits bill is too high are the ones making up 48% of it. That’s £150.7 billion so people who had the easiest housing ladder, the best savings rates and the best private pension rates can get a bigger pension than they ever paid in for. It’s a joke of a policy and I wholeheartedly disagree with it.

@LarryClaret1 @AlrxCox Yeah, double digit mortgages on cheaper houses relative to salaries...do the math

@Withinger @AlrxCox A tenth the size’ but with double-digit rates, lower incomes, and no fixed deals. The risk was huge, hence banks back then requiring much higher deposits of 10-20% as a minimum. You’re comparing prices there, not affordability.

@boxclever247 @AlrxCox You're trying to deny the facts to make yourself look better. The facts and stats published by multiple sources clearly show that property prices are now multiple times more the average salary than when you purchased. You had it good. You should be pleased about that, not bitter

@Withinger @AlrxCox Go and two jobs like we did and work at weekends. The trouble with the younger generation is that you are lazy good for nothings and just looking for a free hand out.

@jam21t @AlrxCox Public sector pensions are aligned with state pension age....so not sure where you get this early retirement from. Shows how much you know...

@AlrxCox You clearly don’t understand. The bloated Public Sector … pensions are gold plated, they can retire earlier than the rest of us. Workplace pensions weren’t mandatory until 2014, a large no of us contributed NI for 30+ years for the state pension at 60 …

@LarryClaret1 @AlrxCox Oh no...double digit mortgage rates on mortgages a tenth the size 😲

You’re painting it as if everyone had easy access to housing, high savings returns, and strong private pensions at the same time. They can’t all be true together and need some genuine context. In reality, during that time people faced double-digit mortgage rates while inflation rates were slightly-high, eating up most of the savings. Private pensions were far from universal back then, and homeownership growth mostly favoured higher earners as banks wouldn’t lend as easily as nowadays. That doesn’t automatically make the triple lock right, but it does mean the generation you describe above wasn’t universally advantaged.

@manwhatruns @AlrxCox State pensions - are - a welfare bill

@AlrxCox But you’re quite happy to fund the enormous welfare bill and house illegal migrants!

@boxclever247 @AlrxCox You've paid naff all in, do you honestly think you've all paid in enough to pay for that? Give your head a wobble

@AlrxCox I find incredible that we have a society of young people wanting to fleece the OAPs. It’s our money which we have paid in over a lifetime of work and NI deductions. So I have two words to you LAZY ARSE GOOD FOR NOTHING TWATS who would fleece us of our retirement. FUCK OFF

@FeldsparElodie @AlrxCox There won't be one by then because of you old entitled leeches

@AlrxCox Oh grow up you fking baby. When you are at retirement age you will be claiming your pension so stop begrudging people who have worked flat out for 50 years from a retirement with a paltry £12,500 yearly payout

@denisefortru @ShowMeLaTweet @classtecenemanl @AlrxCox I'll take that over never being able to afford a house and having no state pension...

@ShowMeLaTweet @classtecenemanl @AlrxCox I was bought up on dripping and sugar sandwiches, hiding from the rent man, we put cardboard in our shoes when the soles went. No hot water, toilet outside, ice on the inside of windows. We worked a 6 day week and were lucky if we went on holiday. You have no idea

@JerryClackson @AlrxCox You are the one making it about his mum

@AlrxCox It’s not all about your mummy, Alex.

@cazhaz @OliDugmore That's not enough to incentivise people to stay working 60 hour weeks here and losing all childcare benefits the second they do an extra shift. When they can just move elsewhere, get paid more and not constantly talked about like dirt in the press.

@Withinger @OliDugmore Agreed. It is important we educate to a higher level those whose skills we need in the UK. I don’t agree we need to fund entirely, but we could certainly incentivise graduates to remain and work in the UK by wiping portions of debt after no. of years working in the UK

Rachel Reeves should be very careful arguing only graduates should pay for their degrees Would be a lot of cold pensioners without our generation’s taxes. I don’t make much use of the nuclear deterrent either Education is a public good, not a commodity

@David5913834377 @Pina682J @MyronGainesX @louistheroux This is blatant nonsense. How many of those in the One Partner category are likely to be religious and would face massive life changing consequences, ostracisation, punishment for leaving a miserable marriage?

@Pina682J @MyronGainesX @louistheroux And the only other thing big they tried to get him on was when Louis said “Pair-bonding” is misinformation. Absolute dunce 🤣

I heard this song is @louistheroux favorite...😎 On stream last night, we crushed his "credibility" from selective editing and removing 5-8 hour of content to remove context. Now me and the OSS are keeping our boots on Louis and Jewflix's necks all 2026!

@License2Breathe @Tanyaelisabeth Weirdo

@Tanyaelisabeth Cool. Thanks for not taking it the wrong way and getting all offended. :) Sometimes a simple question on a tweet is nothing more than a simple question.

my mom spent my entire teenage years telling me how she was so much skinner than me when she was my age And then when I was 18 (the same age she got married) we found her wedding dress, I tried it on, and it was big on me My dad made sure to point it out This is the life of growing up with an almond mom who does nothing but diet. I’ve learned to let it go and by some miracle I never had any eating disorder or extreme body issues.

@ollieb997 @IanHickey727192 @anon_opin Regularly? You've added in extra

@IanHickey727192 @anon_opin If you feel the need to drink 4 pints on a night before work regularly then you should probably get some help

Having a legal amount of alcohol in your system, however low that may be, and still being allowed to drive sends a mixed signal. The limit should be zero. Choosing to consume any amount should rule you out of driving until it's completely out of your system.

@hcnova1 You've missed a trick here by being a smart-ass. If you say yes....then they don't have to waste time making you pee in a cup

Why is it no one can seem to understand it’s not about the actual test? It’s about communication and the way it’s asked. They ask you questions for the sole sake of treating you like a moron instead of just saying, “please pee in the cup; it’s standard practice”

@YourOnlyLandak @undead641 @Waynqueslfc @cessonmute This has been done to death salon.com/2009/10/15/ehr…

@undead641 @Withinger @Waynqueslfc @cessonmute Tag me when you have a reply please

men don’t hate “modern women.” they hate that women now have standards, options, and the ability to leave. in the past, women stayed because they had no financial freedom, no social support, and no real choice. now that women can earn, own, decide, and walk away, relationships have to be based on respect instead of dependence—and a lot of men aren’t prepared for that.

@Waynqueslfc @cessonmute I haven't seen this, only ever the opposite actually. Where did you read this?

@Withinger @cessonmute Online

@Waynqueslfc @BrandonMeijers @cessonmute Where?

@BrandonMeijers @Withinger @cessonmute Huh? What're you talking about? The data we have directly contradicts that. The survey data we have shows that the happiest/ most satisfied people are married women with children
