- Comment on Wikipedia is under assault: rogue users keep posting AI generated nonsense 5 weeks ago:
People didn’t allow you to use it as a source in school because those rules were made by people that just didn’t understand technology.
As for it now being filled with shit, that’s just ignorant. It’s not like they accept edits and publish them from anybody that submits one, they’re reviewed and stuff that is well known or not up for debate is as accurate as can be.
How does it differ from Encarta 98 which we used in school? Or any encyclopaedia?

They didn’t attribute it to malice. They said idiot, which is pretty synonymous with stupidity.

A little reductive.
We use CoPilot at work and whilst it isn’t doing my job for me, it’s saving me a lot of time. Think of it like Intellisense, but better.
If my senior engineer, who I seem like a toddler when compared to can find it useful and foot the bill for it, then it certainly has value.

You sound like a great person. I’m sorry that your daughter had to go through bullying and even worse, she is the one that has to change her life.
I wish you both success.
You’re right, it’s a terrible time to drop to a single income.

You don’t have to share. Just curious is all.

Bro. I swear to god me, you, and a user called “the piccard manoeuvre” are like the only three users on here.
Like I see y’all everywhere. I had discussions with you in many places at this point.
- Comment on Headteachers in England tell of worsening behaviour of pupils – and parents 11 months ago:
Do you believe that kids never acted out before austerity? Or is it something that only happened because of austerity?
No. But I do believe that austerity has exacerbated the issue. If alcohol didn’t exist people would still assault other people, but with alcohol it happens more, as an example.
Do you think that schools don’t try to engage with the kids and parents and get told to fuck off?
I think they do, but not to the level that is required due to austerity cuts to education budgets. Parents telling teachers to fuck off is not acceptable. In fact I know this happens as my mother is a TA on a rough estate where this happens. This can also be linked to austerity and a lack of faith in a system that fails so many. Google what happens when people lose faith and break the so called social contract.
That parents refuse to get their kids diagnosed for autism or ADHD? Refuse to have them medicated as directed by their doctor or sent to the correct school?
Many parents just don’t know or are themselves not educated enough to want to change. I was diagnosed with ADHD in later life and honestly the symptoms of left unchecked are hard to distinguish from a failure or lazy person.
Do you think schools have gotten worse at behaviour management strategies or have they actually got access to far more approaches than before?
Both. They have access to a wealth of information, but lack the resource of time to implement it.
I actually think it’s far easier to get issues such as autism and ADHD diagnosed as a child in the last ten years if you can actually get an appointment.
I was in perpetual depression, addiction and losing job after job and was never marked as needed assistance. Only when I lucked into a good job with private healthcare was I able to seek help and sort my life out. Even now that I’ve left there to my dream career with no healthcare it’s taken a year to be referred to the NHS and that’s with a diagnosis.
Pretending that it’s down to austerity when the problems existed and made worse before due to the government of time not wanting to fall foul of ECHR and its own supreme court is just bad. Has it accelerated yes, but created by? Absolutely not.
Nobody is trying to place the blame solely on austerity, but it’s been a large contributing factor.
I do appreciate you answering my questions with your own and not answering mine.

Do you believe children act out for no reason?
If not, do you think it prudent to ascertain why someone is acting out?
If so, do you believe that the last decade of austerity impedes the ability to ascertain the reasons?

correlation isn’t causation. Do you think these are magic words or something.
Actual quote
I’m uncertain…
So no I don’t believe they’re magic words and I find your quote disingenuous.
Have a nice day and we can end this here. No hard feelings.
- Comment on Headteachers in England tell of worsening behaviour of pupils – and parents 11 months ago:
Right. There is such thing as a social contract. In that people will generally be conforming members of society if they believe they’re getting a fair shot at life.
If we don’t feel like we are getting a fair shot and the game is rigged against us, then you get rebellion, an increase in crime and anti-social behaviour.
- Comment on Yeah, yeah, yeah... 11 months ago:
Unless I’m mistaken but correlation isn’t causation. Meaning that an increase in tax revenue from cigarettes around the time some new subs were ordered doesn’t mean that one is paying for the other.
Is it unreasonable to make the assumption that the extra tax revenue in fact goes into public health to combat the effects of smoking on an aging population?
smoking for those abive 15 has dropped from 24% in 1991 to around 11% in 2019
although i will concede that this tax disproportionately impacts lower income people
- Comment on Yeah, yeah, yeah... 11 months ago:
As a former very poor person and now just regular poor person who used to smoke ikr.
That said, smoking never made me a happier person and at some point we have to do something. Smoking related issues cost the NHS an absolute fortune.
Do I think that corporations and billionaires should pay their fair share so us peasants don’t need to pay at all. Sure do.
Do I think that’ll ever happen. Heck no.
So given that, then we need to do something.
You shouldn’t make assumptions about people!!

I’m all for legalising cannabis, but to ban tobacco seems pointless.
I want to legalise or decriminalise drugs because it doesn’t work. Banning tobacco also will not work.
Tax high - use money for education and healthcare.
