@Paul6ome @tomhfh Even before this new law, S13 meant 4 weeks notice to increase rent.

@tomhfh My landlord put my rent up by £400 per month with two weeks notice, I couldn’t find anywhere and move quick enough and it rolled over to the next year and he then wanted to charge me for breaking the agreement, this now helps

People should be allowed to rent a property for a fixed period of time. Today that right has vanished. All tenancies are now infinite. Mutual agreement for a one, two, or five year rental is now illegal. This will help literally no one.

@eThirty_Three @DelusionPosting @InsaneCope @grok @grok how about movies that tick 3 or more?

@DelusionPosting @InsaneCope @grok list any movie that contains any, some, multiple, or all of these themes in them

@BlackMajikMan90 Muh autism is a special power bros! "I wonder why nobody watched it?"

The failure of the 2017 Power Rangers movie will never not hurt and it seemed like it had everything going for it. - A favorable release date with Fate of the Furious not releasing until 3 weeks later. - A very reasonable 100 million dollar budget - Good trailers and a good marketing strategy - A cool update for modern audiences and the new generation. Yet when the movie released, almost no one was interested; not even the toy line sold well. I’ll never understand why.

@SchwartzerMenlo @ATRightMovies AI slop is AI slop.

@ATRightMovies "We won't without you." That's literally four words.

On this day in 2009, STAR TREK was released in cinemas. Leonard Nimoy had turned down every invitation to return as Spock. Then three men knocked on his door, and what they said changed everything. For years, Leonard Nimoy had been offered chances to reprise the role of Spock. He turned them all down. He'd retired from acting in 2000, moved into photography, and seemed content to leave the pointy eared Vulcan behind for good. Then Star Trek died. The tenth film, Nemesis, flopped. The TV series Enterprise was cancelled. Paramount were on the verge of losing the franchise rights entirely. They needed a film and fast. Enter J.J. Abrams, screenwriters Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman, and a script that would reboot the entire universe. But they had a problem. They needed Nimoy. Not as a cameo or a favour. As the emotional bridge between old Trek and new. So the three of them went to his house. Orci later described Nimoy's reaction as a cautious "Who are you guys, and what are you up to?" They laid out their vision. They told him how important he was not just to the film, but to the story they were trying to tell. Then Abrams said the line that changed everything: "We cannot make this film without you, and we won't make this film without you." After they left, his wife Susan told the creative team what happened next. He had remained in his chair, emotionally overwhelmed by the decision he knew he had to make. The man who had spent years walking away from Spock couldn't walk away from this. He said yes because for the first time, a Star Trek script explored the full sweep of Spock's life. Not just the half-human, half-Vulcan conflict he'd played for decades, but the character's entire history, from beginning to end. As Nimoy put it: "We have dealt with Spock being half-human and half-Vulcan, but never with quite the overview that this script has of the character's entire history." And then he gave them one final gift they never asked for. His last scene was originally written as a quiet, wordless exit - Spock Prime walking thoughtfully away. After filming, Nimoy approached Abrams and said: "If you give me one more take, I have a thought I would like to inject here." They rolled the camera and Nimoy said: "Thrusters on full." Abrams later called him to say how perfectly it led into the final scene, where Sulu mentions the thrusters, but Nimoy told him the line wasn't about the ship. It was his way of saying to the younger cast: "Go ahead. Take the torch and go." Star Trek made $385.7 million worldwide and became the first film in the franchise to win an Academy Award. But it started with a knock on a door and three words: "We won't without you."

@Landeur Singhon of Ahkkad?

Reform has just announced a defection from the Labour Party. This time, a councillor...

@TheWeaponSpear @Splaticus91 @awstar11 It's "aged like milk". Aged wine is a good thing. 🤣

@Splaticus91 @awstar11 Aged like fine wine

So hard to pick just one. So, here are my top 10 in no particular order:

Salespeople are employees. With contracts. Terms of employment. Years of service etc. If you were just buying the assets you then have to neogoiate releases with the staff - usually x weeks wages for x years. If you say you don't need them then hire people, you're dragged to a tribunal.

@Saint_Anger @alialtafsaleem @RealPostFolder Most businesses purchase the assets of the business they are buying, not the liabilities. The scenario presented was simple, so the assumptions had to be simple. This scenario was specific to salespeople, nothing more.

@PaulEmbery HR is dominated by women. Can't be too surprised when they start doing feminine things.

For crying out loud. The head of human resources for Leeds city council wants to create a "safe space" for conversations between staff who might be upset by Nigel Farage's visit to the city next week. These people are truly nuts. Like probably demented. telegraph.co.uk/politics/2026/…

@curraheevet @alialtafsaleem @RealPostFolder This might be just a US thing. Here when you buy a company, that includes the staff - wage, contract, terms of employment etc. Otherwise, you'd get businesses selling to themselves to fuck over the team.

@alialtafsaleem @RealPostFolder why? idiots think you can sue over salaries? If there ain't a contract, there ain't a contract. Plus, the contract would have been with the company that sold, not the company that bought... Think before you type.

@adriansmith31 @DrWolf666666 @_HenryBolton Collateral. 😆

@DrWolf666666 @_HenryBolton Oi I live in Bradford. Wish I didn't but here I am. What about Westminster instead?

In case your’e wondering, the UK-has: - no exo-atmospheric Anti-Ballistic Missile interceptor system - No layered missile defence architecture - No integrated national system protecting our cities or infrastructure. Our best system is the T45 Destroyer with the Astor/Viper. But it’s primarily a fleet protection asset. The fact is that we and Europe depend heavily on US detection, US interceptor missiles and platforms, and US command architecture. The harsh reality is that capabilities amongst European states, incl. the UK, are very limited and patchy indeed.

@jjosphnn @800_abby @StevenWillcox2 @stacycay No, Josephine. It's a litmus test. You could spend your sad life being offended at everything or (and this is the hack to life) DGAF. It's hard when you need to moral grandstand and pearl clutch at every opportunity. But try it. Not everything is some sort of ist or ism. Truly.

@Saint_Anger @800_abby @StevenWillcox2 @stacycay Are we supposed to laugh?

See this is why the Epstein files don’t bother these people. They actually think rape is funny

@800_abby @StevenWillcox2 @stacycay Whats black, hairy, has 8 legs and scares the shit of women? Gang rape.

@StevenWillcox2 @stacycay Rape jokes are not funny at all

@asdasdf293 @DavidSherman7 @iam_jlc Big difference x.com/i/status/20346…

@Saint_Anger @DavidSherman7 @iam_jlc It looked like a normal amount of breath. It's just a result of the way it was shot. Whether you interpret that as something actually happening in the world of the film is a matter of individual assessment.

John Carpenter’s The Thing is his masterpiece. The greatest remake of all time. The greatest Sci-Fi/Horror film of all time. And the more I see it, the more convinced I am, that come the end, MacReady is The Thing.

@asdasdf293 @DavidSherman7 @iam_jlc Wouldn't that be a technical limitation of the time? Or that as the thing needs to breathe it makes sense there is some condensation but there's a lot less than Mac who was just fighting for his life.

@DavidSherman7 @iam_jlc I saw a video essay on this where they went through frame by frame and you do see Childs's breath.

@MovieTankRob @iam_jlc Yeah complete BS. It's not an infection to fight. The Thing consumes you and makes a copy. It doesn't infect like a shitty virus.

He's always The Thing... From the time he realises about the ripping of the clothes. It's why he is leaving the audio tapes, he's the only one who's human side is still able to fight it. But...as the film goes on it is clear because, the test is fake. It only works because Palmer Thing sacrifices itself knowing that if no one is discovered then Mac, who is the version needed to actually fly the craft would be killed as there would be no more trust in him. So Palmer sacrifices himself to keep the more important Thing alive. As for the ending, Max takes a look at the ship and sees it is badly put together and won't fly. Before confirming the plan to destroy the camp. This causes the conflict with Blair thing who is not happy to be killed/see his work destroyed. The final shot, he is drinking from the Molotov and hands it to Childs.

@iam_jlc No, man. It's Childs. Mac gives him a swig of a molotov and then laughs as he knows. I've never noticed this but I've read before that Childs also has no breath condensation.

They arent "exacy the same" and this isn't Catholicism, it's evidence-based concern from ethicists, disability advocates & UN experts about safeguards for vulnerable groups facing psychosocial suffering, coercion risks ("burden" feeling), or systemic gaps in support.People can decide on autonomy vs protection, but pretending the tracks are identical ignores real distinctions & pressures that can make "choice" feel less voluntary for some, 'bro'.

@Saint_Anger @KaviKovi @amazingatheist Because, bro, I have some bad news for you. You have about a 1/20 chance of really not liking the way you go out.

Yes! Now people who want to die can continue suffering instead! Woo! 🎉🥳

You're missing the forest for the trees. That 'tiny' 4.4% non-terminal slice (Track 2) jumped 17% in a single year (from 625 cases in 2023 to 732 in 2024) while total MAiD growth slowed to just 6.9%. The program's already at 5.1% of all Canadian deaths. And come March 17, 2027, mental illness alone becomes eligible unless Parliament stops it.

@Saint_Anger @KaviKovi @amazingatheist Yeah, fear mongering usually entails throwing around random numbers as if they mean anything. 95.6% of the 16,499 people who received MAID were dying. Straight up, no hope. Your 16,000 number is people who chose to die on their own terms. The alternative wasn't life.

Calling valid concerns "fear mongering" overlooks the real trends. In Canada, MAiD now accounts for 5.1% of all deaths (~16,000 cases). That's risen steadily since legalisation and is among the highest rates worldwide. The Netherlands is similar, hitting around 5.8% in recent years with ongoing increases.

@KaviKovi @amazingatheist Oh, so you bought into the fear mongering all on your own. That's nice. I'll be leaving you to it then.
