"Your skin is pale white and ice cold... you never eat or drink anything, you don't go out in the sunlight... how old are you?"
"I'm 45."
"How long have you been 45?"

Sticks and stones may break my bones but hate will only feed me.

The best response I’ve seen to AI anything has been, “why should i bother reading something that nobody could be bothered to write”

These people when refugees don't have a job: "sponge! leech!! drain on society!!!"
These people when anyone tries to give a refugee a chance at getting a job: "How dare you!!!"

Beyond delighted for Bulgaria. A first time win like this should feel healthy for the contest.
And yet personally my interest this year was on the floor because I couldn't be arsed with another "will Israel get over the line" split screen come the end. And lo; that's what we got

This feels like a weird choice - why would you put the entrance to the bedroom off the living room and not off the hallway by the shared bathroom? Similar for the other single-bed, but not quite sure what's going on there with the gap...

Really interesting plan for a tower in Malmo, Sweden.
Four, family sized apartments per floor, all with three bedrooms. Living space on the corners. Two winter gardens per home. Plenty of storage. Single stair!!!

This makes sense because there aren’t any Chinese historical references for a period of instability marked by wars between different kingdoms

IMO it's very disrespectful to post direct output from an AI into an email, Github comment, or other document intended for human consumption without any annotation saying that it's agent output.

Unironically this is the giant downgrade in Twitter since M*sk. Everyone is so incentivised to get engagement (even negative engagement) that you end up with this. Blueticks chasing comments at any cost. I saw a "Lord of the Rings World" fan page repeatedly posting dragons...

from Game of Thrones. Celebrity fan accounts talk about all sorts of crap. No one can stay in their lane anymore because the algorithm discourages it, trying to get everyone to look at everything instead of showing you things you're genuinely interested in. I like *one* tweet...

about sole TV show I never watched because it had a funny image or whatever in it, and for the next week my feed is full of stuff I have no context for.
Twitter completely lost its way under the new direction.

Two immediate thoughts. 1) the questions don't matter in that there is no set of questions you could come up with that every Brit would know and all foreigners would not know. The point is that it creates a barrier that proves a willingness and ability to learn things about...

the country you want to be a citizen of.
2) Notwithstanding (1), it would be nicer to have useful, important, relevant, civic, and/or meaningful facts, rather than pub quiz trivia.

Just learned about Zeno's Paradoxes and spent about two minutes crying laughing, physically incapable of reading it out loud to the person I was reading to. What drugs were these guys on?

Famously inflation leaves you alone if you don't get a pay rise.
You're 24. You earn £28k. You get a 4% pay rise.
After tax, NI, and your student loan — the marginal rate is 37%.
After inflation, that raise leaves you £11/month WORSE OFF.
You earned more. You took home less.
Nobody voted for this.

I know why it's used and the particular industry definition that goes with it but calling this an "original series" in big golden letters really is the cherry on the cake of this completely unnecessary adaptation and cynical exercise in squeezing as much money from IP as possible

What's the math here? How can a family of four (one assumes two parents and their children) have three different nationalities and no shared passports? Surely at least two (probably the two children) must have the same passport as each other? What am I missing?

Family of 4.
3 different nationalities.
0 passports shared amongst all of them.
$299,105 later and they all have a joint Plan B passport.
