Why have you wasted both my time and yours by posting replies clearly written by AI that add nothing to the discussion and only restate what the parent comment has said? Infuriating.

I use Railboard, exactly like trainline but without the booking fee as it's made by national rail

There’s a great app called PiPifier, which allows you to use PiP for free on iOS.

They mean any party that's had majority control of parliament, they don't mean it's been used as a strategy to get there but rather once they're ruling it's been introduced

> finds that size is the only clear-cut difference between male and female brains. Women's brains are about 11% smaller than men's, in proportion to their body size.

> "This means that the brain differences between large- and small-headed men are as great as the brain differences between the average man and woman," Dr. Eliot said. "And importantly, none of these size-related differences can account for familiar behavioral differences between men and women, such as empathy or spatial skills."

That’s obviously not true, men don’t have 7x more grey matter.

You seriously wouldn't want to work less? You aren't penalised for taking the time off.

I see it more as protecting the employee from exploitation.

Just want to add a data point: I just tried this word for word with today’s Wordle (secret word = tough) and ChatGPT 4 got it completely wrong, didn’t reuse letters it got right and kept reusing letters it knew weren’t in the word. It’s easy to look at this Twitter thread and freak out, but even a broken clock is right twice a day and I encourage people to try these examples for themselves.

I'm assuming this comment was written by ChatGPT, am I correct? It's got quite a predictable writing style, and also your comment doesn't add anything to the original, it's just reworded

I don’t think England would ever leave the UK, as English people view England as the main UK country. Also, the EU has been blamed for decades as a scapegoat, whereas the UK definitely hasn’t.

That’s obviously ridiculous, you can’t purposefully puncture a moving cars tires to enforce a lane. You’d kill people, what about people who missed the signs?

Why would you want effective advertising? The sole purpose of advertising is making you buy something you otherwise wouldn’t buy. Call me old fashioned but if I want to buy something I look up reviews, I don’t just scroll Facebook until a good advert pops up.

This isn’t quite right. The UK has delayed second doses to 3 months after the first dose to enable more people to get their first dose quicker. The plan is all adults vaccinated by September, and they certainly aren’t delaying second doses until then.

I think you’re projecting and trying to defend your ego against supporting racist policy, because you’re not racist so how can the war on drugs be?

Please tell me how harsher sentencing on crack cocaine compared to cocaine is not the dictionary definition of racism. It sorts one group out from another (statistically crack cocaine is used more by black people), which is discrimination, and then punishes those people, racism.

The good thing is instead of trying to mind-bend your way around supporting a racist policy, you can just change your opinion free of charge.
