You could tell a lot of parents that their toddlers watching screens would turn them into a serial killer later in life and they’d still do it
Raising a child without fucking them up takes a lot of effort and KNOWLEDGE that most parents don’t have the capacity or willingness for

New UK screen time rules just dropped — and they’re stricter than most parents expected. From 27 March 2026, England says: zero solo screens for under-2s (except quick video calls with family), and max one hour a day for 2–5 year olds — no screens at meals or the hour before bed. Co-view everything, stick to slow-paced content, and ditch fast social-media clips and AI toys completely. The science is sobering: toddlers’ brains process info up to 10 times slower than adults. Fast-paced screens push them into fight-or-flight mode — racing heart, surging energy — while they’re sitting still. Researchers at the University of East London say this mismatch can wire kids for more tantrums and emotional struggles later. Using screens to calm meltdowns? It often backfires long-term. As a parent, it’s brutal — we all know that explosion the second you take the tablet away. But this feels like evidence finally catching up with what our gut has been telling us. How are you handling screens with little ones — strict limits, co-viewing, or mostly winging it?

@ComplexiaSC @rushicrypto Can’t believe you’ve got the audacity to call ANYONE a retard when you’re chatting absolute fucking shite like this. I bet if Elon Musk shat on your breakfast you’d say thank you.

There is nothing being hoarded by the rich. Everything they do provides direct value and a means of making money for others who come directly in contact with it.
They own a penthouse in New York? Well, who has to clean it, maintain it, do the gardens, service the lift, be the doorman, be the security guards, and so on? That's a lot of people on the payroll. No penthouse, no jobs.
Above is just an example, but it's like this with everything.

@Dr_Bekka_UK None of it makes sense
It’s surely more cost effective for the gov to cover my share of the rent living with my partner, than for me to get my own place paid for fully by them - plus we’d be taking up 2 properties instead of one

The benefits system effectively bans romance for disabled people. 💔
Move in with a partner? Your UC is slashed. You're forced into financial dependence or poverty.
The choice: stay single to survive, or find love and lose your independence.
It’s state-mandated isolation.

@annaroseridgway It’s not a human right, but it should be the goal otherwise what’s the point? All of the scientific progress, for what? To keep people poor and unhappy whilst other people live in unfathomable luxury?

This is probably going to ruffle some feathers but it has to be pointed out.
Living a “comfortable life” or a “nice life” is not a human right.
The state should not be required to ensure that you don’t have to sell your house or that you can afford comforts.
£12,500 alone is not enough to live a comfortable life - but I think it is more than enough to survive.
If you want to have a comfortable life in retirement, sell your house, earn some extra income, or save money before you retire.

Gonna be awkward when they climb too high up a tree in the park and I shout “GET DOWN WOR$T GIRL IN AMERICA!” in the middle of Bootle

Memory loss from deep depression and trauma is something people rarely talk about. It’s often reduced to “just sadness” or overthinking, but it runs much deeper than that. You can forget conversations, names, even entire periods of your life, not because they didn’t matter, but because you were in survival mode.
When you’re overwhelmed and just trying to make it through the day, your brain shifts from storing memories to simply keeping you functioning. That reality is often overlooked. Healing isn’t only emotional, it’s also about slowly rebuilding yourself, including the pieces you didn’t even realize were missing.

Pre ADHD diagnosis I used read so many self development books like these. I used to try to implement what I learned like rewiring my brain, having a strict routine and a good work ethic. I used to get frustrated when it didnt work, knowing that I have ADHD explained it all

@gxrethclarke I found the same thing in ecom at SMEs. Had to bounce every few years for minor bumps.

there’s no doubt that number has gone up for the bosses, meanwhile i’m still seeing jr salaries advertising at the same rate nearly 10 years later. kudos for green party for actually discussing policies that can address the affordability disparity

when I was working at an ad agency and my salary was £25k, I was denied every opportunity to advance due to “budget”
meanwhile bosses in the agency were earning upwards of £1mil a *year*
