This is basically why I got a Switch 2 and just continued to play Hades on it. Hardware is going up, but at least I have something to play new games (some from the library).
The canal in my uni town was immediately replaced by the railways pretty much the instant it was completed. They’re pretty cool though - you can walk along it, go on a narrowboat, canoe, fish out shopping trolleys, hide bodies, catch dysentery, or get attacked by Canada Geese.
I fucking hate that aspect of Special Relativity when I did l A-Level Physics (wait, shouldn’t that be “Physic” in the US to go with “Math”?). Two spaceships head off in opposite directions at light speed - from the frame of reference of each spaceship, the other is moving away at C, not 2C, because the Universe would rather slow down time itself than let anything move faster than its stupid precious C!
Has anyone tried talking to the children - y’ know, asking them if they’re ok and stuff - instead of just kneejerk legislating even more of their childhood away?
And it’s absolutely a political decision to have people sleeping rough. Back in Manchester we got a new mayor Andy Burnham (you might have heard about him running for leadership of the national Labour party) a few years ago, and he spent pretty much the first two years making sure there were shelters for the city’s homeless and programmes to help them. There were so many sleeping in the streets by then, as other towns would just give their homeless a train ticket to a big city to get rid of them. And people still complained about this prioritisation, even though most of them probably had to walk past a stack of piss-smelling sleeping bags to get into their office!
When they go into receivership the accountants should add accountant skins to Fortnite.
