Pugilistic - TIL a new word!
No worries. What I’d give to shoot the person that came up with the FPTP voting system…

I feel like you took my comment to be a critique of the EU’s position, which is not what I was trying to say at all.
I presume that such an agreement would be in the EUs interest - hence the expression of such. Public clarification at this stage of the ‘cost’- as you put it - is a great way to take it off the official policy booklet. Which doesn’t make sense to me.
I am aware that UK politics is stupid. I live here.
If the move would be of interest to the EU, then unless they are completely politically inept, can these officials not see how saying it would require ECJ oversight before an election risks it being eliminated from Labour policy?
It gives a free attack point for the Tories and couldn’t be a bigger face palm - for anyone actually interested in it, of course.
Let’s compare it with adult pornography. Does the consumption of adult pornography remove the desire to have sex with another adult in the long term? Or does it reinforce the sexually desirable characteristics of adults?
I get that it’s not necessarily simple, however… Firstly, surely streaming companies could push for a standard formatting to make their lives easier. And second, why does a track that was previously explicit suddenly start playing as the clean version one day? Why is the data for it continually being changed?
Oh my God, thank you for the confirmation.
But I don’t understand - it’s inconsistent. Some stuff will be censored and others won’t be?
Sorry, you’re quite right - I misread it to begin with.
This paper suggests you’re spot on that they’re not as profitable as other large companies, but they’re still making an awful lot of money on top of the necessary costs.
Except as highlighted, if the drug didn’t make a return on investment it wouldn’t be made. That can be true for government funded research, it’s not necessary to have a profit margin on top.
They won’t. The police exist to protect the interests of the state, so as long as the state doesn’t give a shit and continues to pay sufficient renumeration to those willing to exercise unjust power over their fellows then… yeah.
There will no doubt be more than you think - if there isn’t a neuro divergent society at your uni, you could start one?
At the very least there’s loads of neurodivergent communities on lemmy to get involved with.
!autism@lemmy.world for starts
Also worth checking out communities for ADHD and neurodivergence generally - there’s a lot of overlap to find stuff within.
Your explanation is surface level correct, in that it is in essence society’s justification, but ultimately they’re run like prisons because it’s initially cheaper to treat all mental health patients the same and because there might be one individual that is a danger to themselves (and even less likely, others) then we get the ‘prison-style’.
The trouble of course comes in that in the long term this model likely costs far far more, because it’s incredibly damaging as human brains don’t fit in boxes.
Understandable. But is there a particular account you follow or is just #alerts or what?
I’ve barely ever been on Twitter so I don’t know how it works much.

Uh…
Ooh, where do you get your notification of meteor showers from?
Streisand effect in action. I am never going to buy anything Nintendo, because they’re a dog-shit company. I hadn’t realised a Switch emulator existed. Andddd… My wife would really like to play Pikmin 4.
Oh no!
Anyway…
