$50,000 immediately dropped into my bank account wouldn't improve EVERYTHING but boy it sure would be a grand, sexy little start to a good, happy life path, don't you think

this info has not really made it around to everyone who would prefer to know about it, so let me restate here that Overwolf, Thunderstore, and Curseforge are all subsidiary/owner companies based in Israel that explicitly support the IDF both on the personal basis of their individual employees and the company itself donating money for snacks and body armor, but also fundraising from the public for the same. please do not use Thunderstore, Curseforge or Overwolf. your ad traffic is funding genocide. even if you have an adblocker, your participation in their ecosystem is keeping other people there and contributing traffic anyway. get your mods on Nexus or modrinth. use a different mod manager, there are plenty

if you MAKE mods, please pull them from Thunderstore and send your users to other mod hosts. there have already been multiple waves of this happening, especially amongst the Sims 4 modders, which is great

October 4, 2025 - ICE agents in Portland cower and retreat when confronted by the imposing presence of some kind of antifascist frog wizard. [video]

[just-keep-fighting]

They pepper sprayed directly into his air vent.

Frog came back later, when asked "Can you tell me what happened" he said "Nothing, I coughed a little but that was about it. Nothing else happened, just a little peppermint taste. I've tasted spicier. I'm Mexican what do you expect” 😭

[kropotkindersurprise]

ACAB, I'm glad it didn't harm the frog. Thank you for your service, Comrade Frog 🫡 [video]

am i missing something… or is this like…. a problem….

[nealashitposts]

the english are weak

[teaboot]

Okay but genuinely is there something missing here?? Because when I lived in Vancouver BC it was $5.25ish CA for a three-zone ticket to school and that was an hour and a half from A to B. Why is a 30 minute $5 ride an insurmountable task. What am I not seeing here

[sonnetscrewdriver]

$5 is just under 4 quid and my fucking arse is that what it costs, it costs me nearly $20 and I get a discount because I have a disabled person's railcard

also I can tell you from experience that if it's for a gig, you'd either have to leave before it ended or wait around in the cold for fucking ages for the trains to start running again and get back in the early hours of the morning, which isn't very practical if you've got to go to work.

[becausegoodheroesdeservekidneys]

What weird website is that???

Here's National Rail, the actual UK train journey website with actual prices:

As Maia says, we're pushing £20 depending on time of day, AND you have to factor in return train times, too. The UK also has a cost of living crisis right now, featuring - among other things - the literal highest utility bills in the entire world. The gap between rich and poor is enormous, and getting bigger.

Lads... it really does become more and more obvious that whenever y'all want to make fun of the UK, you really are just trying to make fun of poor people.

[bucketofdeltav]

I'm doing fair-to-middling financially, it's just me, no kids or pets, and I never stress about paying the rent. Just for context.

My living budget (for absolutely everything other than rent/internet/power) is £100 a week. An equivalent distance for me would be London. I can get to a cheap gig in London maybe four times a year, by saving hard and skipping stuff that isn't absolutely essential, like 'second-hand shoes from Vinted because my Converse haven't actually fallen apart yet so that's fine right', and making it worthwhile by spending All Day in London so I'm kind of exhausted before I even get to the gig. And I still have to get from Kings Cross to wherever the gig actually is. If I'm lucky and the trains are all on time, I might get home from a London gig just in time to have to walk two miles home from the station because the city buses stop running at midnight.

There are a lot of people - a LOT of people - worse off than my able-bodied self on my grad student stipend, and yeah, going an equivalent distance to this is a Big Trip for me.

[thatlittleegyptologist]

I used to make that trip regularly for about £11(ish) off-peak ($15), so I can see thanks to the Economy™ that's doubled in price and then some. Checking now, a peak time train is £25 ($33), which many of you will be like 'uhh that's still not expensive though' but it is to those who live there.

Liverpool, a place I lived and studied in for 11 years of my life, is one of the poorest cities in the UK. There were kids from very poor areas who'd go on school trips to the museums in the city centre, a classic school trip for any child, who'd never been to the city centre before because their parents couldn't afford a bus ticket. A lot of kids go to school early for breakfast club because their parents can't afford to feed them. £25 ($33) for one person, for a return ticket to the next city, from a specific station, without factoring in travel from their home (bus/another train/taxi) which can be another £5-10 ($7-15), and without factoring in the cost of doing anything like eating/drinking/attending an event (anywhere between £20 ($27) (for a very cheap meal out) to £70 ($95) for a cheap concert ticket) or even another train/taxi/bus on the other side (another £5-10). You're looking at £55 ($75) for one trip at minimum (£115/$156 for the slightly more expensive - minus food before or after a concert for which you can add another £20/$27 on top) for people that don't have huge amounts of money to begin with. That is expensive.

Like the poster above said, it is becoming increasingly obvious that when the UScentric internet users dunk on the British, they're just making fun of poor people here. Wealth disparity is a huge problem here and making fun of someone for saying they can't afford it is just not a good look. Can that die already?

[eviscer-8]

This is insane. I live in one of the worst cities for public transportation in America, in the south. There are no sidewalks. Buses are almost non existent. If you bike, there's a good chance you'll die on the side of the road from a hit and run, or suffer from heat exhaustion to the point where your health is at risk.

Even I can get on one of the few buses or rail systems we have here and travel 30 mins for less than 5 bucks (£3 ish?).

You're telling me the UK can't do better? Didn't they invent trains?

[thatlittleegyptologist]

You know how you guys like to look at something completely fucked and go:

Well the 80s wasn’t good for the UK either, particularly the north where this is because we had a politician who gradually sold off all our public infrastructure to private companies who have since profited massively from hiking rail fares, and was quite happy to let Liverpool rot, and I quote “not devote our scare resources to the place…” and to leave it in “managed decline”. So in the spirit of the meme above:

(Technically the full process didn’t happen until she was out of power, but she started it. It’s also why our utilities are the most expensive globally. Plus US petrol prices are significantly cheaper than they are here.)

[genderoutlaws]

A group of trans women protesting outside Scottish parliament to condemn the UK Supreme Court’s bioessentialist ruling on sex, and the response of the Scottish government. All are wearing black pants, black tape across their mouths or a black KN95, and their right arms are painted red as "a mark of solidarity with anti-fascist feminists across Europe." | May 17th, 2025

“This ruling, and the subsequent EHRC guidance aims to segregate trans people from safe spaces that they have for used for decades without issue. We are demanding that the Scottish government stand up for its trans citizens by fighting this ruling and appealing to the European Court of Human Rights.”

One of the demonstrators, Sugar, described the protests as "a public act of grief, resistance and solidarity to highlight the hypocrisy of the ruling. If the Supreme Court can see these woman legally as men, then they’ll have zero issue with them going tops off.”

[genderoutlaws]

edit/update: Rose has released uncensored versions of the protest photos on twitter alongside this press release

"Yesterday a group of trans women protested topless to condemn the UK Supreme Court’s ruling and highlight the hypocrisy of the subsequent EHRC interim guidance which aims to segregate trans women.

Most media outlets censored the images which we feel defeats the purpose."
