@elonmusk Thoughts on this Elon x

@redrumlisa What a disingenuous argument. They'd have a private pension ON TOP of the 12.5k... Additionally, ending the triple lock means getting rid of the ridiculous "highest of" criteria. You can still just link it to inflation.

LSE Professor earning over 100k a year will have a very good pension pot - I worked at the LSE their Professors never leave the Academic/Political bubble & I mean never. Thinks a 70 year old man in Stoke on Trent who has worked on a building site since he was 16 shouldn't have £12,500 a year to live on.

@BatmanDX99 @no1fif What's the point in calling Zohran out when he's clearly on the Palestinian side but obviously has to show some pragmatism due to political realities?

Very sad, you can clearly hear the pain in the brothers voice, may Allah swt reward him for calling zohran out

@BenniKim I wouldn't rule out a small "tactical" nuke on interior Iran as a display of power. We saw indiscriminate bombings of civilians by a certain country for the past few years and the world didn't stop it. The line of what's taboo will keep getting pushed.

I very much esteem Kamil's opinion but I'd say US tactical nuke usage is unlikely. Israel otherwise ... Given the dusty soil, with just a bit of wind in the wrong direction, the fallout of a 100kt strike on Bandar Abbas or Qeshm island could turn the U.A.E into Chernobyl. Plus sea water contamination into desalination. Plus if the IRGC has any semblance of nuclear capability, dirty bomb, proper nuke or otherwise, this is a cookie cutter case for retaliation. Just a really, really, bad idea. nuclearsecrecy.com/nukemap/?&kt=1…

@Finumus1 Employers like smart people who've been to the top universities. More at 10.

The Oxbridge premium is just insane.

@ReviewsPossum This is how the elite will achieve immortality btw, the body will deteriorate but they'll just copy their brain

They have a clump of brain cells in a petri dish playing Doom, and a digital copy of a fly brain acting naturally in a virtual reality without any training, and now every horrifying sci-fi scenario committed to my memory is telling me I need to get away from civilization.

@hayatixa But back then houses were like £2 which helped a lot.

@ScepticalSista @policy_uk Not really, HSBC is a GLOBAL company so them sponsoring grads is unsurprising. Secondly, I'm putting myself in the shoes of an int student. These guys pay upto £45k per year for a Bsc. Like it or not they subsidize the university sector and this also means home fees stay at 10k

@anything4aps5 @policy_uk Your phrase "as an international" pretty much proves his point.

When I was on the HSBC graduate scheme I was amazed by how many non-British citizens seemed able to get onto it, with visa sponsorship (for a UK-based scheme, the Executive Management programme). Meantime I had British friends with good degrees who couldn’t find a graduate job…

@policy_uk Lets not be purposefully obtuse please, sure it was for their legal UK based entity but multinationals don't think so narrowly. Also, once again see my point about university sector. As an international why would I come here rather than Canada/EU/Aus if we simply banned grad visa

@anything4aps5 It was for the UK based business.

@policy_uk And sure there is an argument to be made for the crappy visa mill universities but foreign graduates from here rarely get a job.if anything international students get scammed by these visa mill universities. In this grad ban scenario, students would just pick other countries unis

@policy_uk Man amazed by the fact that global companies tap international talent 🤣. Let's assume we outright banned hiring non British citizens for grad jobs, this would lead to destruction of the university sector. As an international why would I spend so much on fees in this scenario?

@AndrewZywiecMD It won't become conscious but it definitely has the capacity to destroy the world due to unintentional consequences/bad instructions being given

Do people not understand the psyop? AI will never become "conscious" and start making it's own decisions. It will be programmed to do exactly what it does, and those who program it will convince you it is alive and controlling itself. And then they can do whatever they want, whenever they want, with a perfect scapegoat. The greatest atrocities ever seen can be conducted with no accountability. It's like having an infinite get out of jail free card.

@theashrb Did the UN ever even do anything? Maybe for the first decade they were somewhat alright at their job

The era of the UN is well and truly over sha. They’ve been completely ineffective particularly over the last few years.

@mattzarb Straight from the Trump playbook , these pricks are now trying to claim voter fraud because they didn't like the result

One of the biggest crash outs I have seen from a losing political candidate. Just not mentally equipped for the rough and tumble of elections. We’re well into day 4 now

@GoodwinMJ Bro you lost , stop crying 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

✍️ New Post ✍️ What really happened in Gorton & Denton? What one election tells us about modern Britain mattgoodwin.org/p/what-really-…

@growing_daniel 31 billion in accumulated losses is absolutely ridiculous

imagine going through this just to have driving get automated 5 quarters into profitability

@dioscuri The universe is almost certainly full of boring microbial life everywhere. The real interesting stuff would be intelligent life but they all probably just nuke themselves to extinction at a certain point

Was speaking to an academic astrophysicist in spectroscopy who told me that they have so many plausible exoplanetary atmospheric biosignatures at this point that there’s no longer any real doubt, but the standard of proof for official acceptance is just incredibly high.

@LondonMoneyFS This must be a fleecehold flat. Freehold houses seem to be doing alright

No one would have believed you if you told them back in 2013 that buying a £1m property in zone 2 would result in zero capital growth 13 years later And yet here we are ….

@Degen_CPA Tbh given the size of the universe it is statistically improbable that they don't exist. But aliens could also just mean some useless bacteria on some xyz planet. The orbs are probably just secret military tech. Intelligent life probably doesn't care about us primitive humans

Do you guys remember noise about aliens being related to consciousness in some way? What this theory is, is actually insane, and the ramifications of this theory being true, would change everything we know about reality. This theory comes from someone named Thomas Campbell, a former Nasa physicist and now a consciousness researcher. Noise of this theory has come from random people like Tucker Carlson, who claim it came from the people within the government, suggesting it's what the gov believes. Here are the high-level points of this theory: - Consciousness exists as a fundamental layer to reality, a type of fabric, beneath the material world, connecting us all to everything in existence. - We are in an evolution process of consciousness, each of us contributing to this evolution. Together the universe and all beings within it, make up something called the "Larger Consciousness System". - This evolution we are all apart was once entirely existent outside of the material world, and as part of this evolution, the material universe was created. - The earth was created specifically for the beings on this planet. There is no life anywhere else in the universe except of earth. - Aliens are not individual beings in the sense we would think, they are projections of the larger consciousness system to us. - The aliens that have been reported, orbs like the ones that followed fighter jets, are these manifestations. These are being presented to us, to make us question things, to try to nudge us in the right direction, to help assist us with this evolution, and to help us understand what is occuring. I believe this is the leading theory on what aliens are. If this is whats going on, they aren't going to release shit about aliens, because everyone will go absolutely fucking insane.

@MarkJohnsonTw @StefanFSchubert To come to a reasonable conclusion on that you'd need a) % of people going to uni in other countries vs UK b) the number of shit unis in these countries vs UK c) number of ppl going to shit unis in UK vs these countries.The dataset there does not have enough info for a conclusion

@anything4aps5 @StefanFSchubert That’s not the point of the article. All countries shown have increased their graduates to about 40% but with a vastly different outcome on graduate salary premium

Whereas the graduate premium has increased in most rich countries, it has plummeted in Britain since 1997. Earnings for British graduates have shrunk (next pic). ->
