Good lord there's some historical revisionism in this game

Typical nanny state

My house isn't inside a school or a hospital, therefore I can't even smoke in my own home. Absolutely raging.

Not even my distro of choice and I thought the exact same thing.

Makes more sense to me to do exactly that.

And on the side, do something like Germany's Sovereign Tech Fund to support other FOSS projects.

I'm so fucking sick of this discussion.

If your income is in the form of dividends, stock selling, or collecting rent money, you're not a worker.

If you work as an employee for a company, and are also a landlord on the side, then yes you are a worker. But you are a worker because of the working for a company part, not the landlord part.

End of discussion.

Now let's look at a paragraph from this dog shit article, breaking it up into points...

I know investment bankers and corporate lawyers who work far more hours and under much greater pressure than me.

And? Nobody ever said investment bankers or lawyers weren't workers. They work for companies and are paid.

They have no inherited income, come from ordinary backgrounds and their wealth is entirely down to their salary.

Ok? What does this have to do with assessing whether someone is a worker or not?

But that salary is simply too large for them to count as working people.

When did the government or anybody ever say that anyone with a decent salary isn't a worker?

In any case, I’ve watched several episodes of Industry, and they are patently the wrong type of working people. And what’s more, they are having way too much sex, although Starmer has not quantified how much coupling working people are allowed.

I don't even know what to say about this. Are they unrelatedly complaining about sex in a TV programme, or do they genuinely think Labour's view on who counts as a worker comes down to how often that person has sex and how many people they have sex with?

It's honestly embarrassing that FT even published this. Under a fucking £39 per month paywall too.

Crazy. Fears of Russian invasion is precisely what would encourage me to get closer to the west, not drive me into Russia's arms.

They didn't have any empathy when they were rewarding UK's crimes against humanity so they don't deserve any either.

...what

IIRC, it's never the smallest or largest number.

This sounds fucking wild. I've heard about doing this before, but I assumed we were far off actually trying it in any practical sense

I hope this actually happens

This would be a fair point if the members didn't set the rules.

But members do set the rules, and France, just like other countries, use their clout to get rules that favour them.

It's actually staggering how effective a measly 5p minimum charge for bags was. I used to see carrier bags discarded all over the place, now I never do

A lemmy.ml mod, being an absolute joke of a mod? Say it ain't so!

It was certainly annoying. I contacted JustEat to try to find out who did it, but I couldn't get any information from them

Thankfully I live in rural Northumberland and only occasionally travel down to Newcastle or up to Berwick or Edinburgh, so I don't see them much.

I'm not even sure you can use any of the delivery apps here. Just old fashioned ringing up and asking for a delivery
