This final solution is much better than the previous attempts, 10/10 very cool toaster

I actually saw those once! Was so confused what they were at first, I was visiting the USA at the time and they had them in some of their public toilets.

But then they also have a huge - intentional - gap in the doors on those cubicles, so that people outside the cubicle waiting to use it were just watching me poop.

It was really fucked up, and not just a one off design mistake, this was EVERY public bathroom. Mental.

What would someone do if they didn't cook their own meals? Hire a butler? Just get takeaway for their entire lives?

That would be mental. Everyone, except the truly weird - or in special situations, home cooks the majority of the time, right? O.o

Damn that sucks but glad things are moving in the right direction! What country had these banned?

But where does the extra money and infrastructure come from to provide everything they need?

More people means more mouths to feed, more strain on the limited housing market driving prices and inaccessibility up, more capacity required at hospitals, doctor's surgeries, schools, all public services (meaning everything from more doctors, nurses, consumables, locations, etc needed), and so on.

Where does the money come from to provide for the net influx of 500,000+~ people a year, a population increase of some 0.75%?

I'm not against immigration, welcoming people from other cultures with fresh ideas and outlooks on life is great and I love it, but the strain it places immediately on our already failing societal systems, such as healthcare, education, housing availability, job availability, etc, is very real, and needs to be addressed.

Those huge American style lorries are mental at the front. They look cool, but what a wild blind spot.

Check out European lorries (like those in Euro Truck Sim for example), the cab ends at the window. Still a powerful beast but compact, and with fewer blind spots. So much easier to drive.

Still some blind spots though, be careful round em :-D

Such a creepy thing, getting children to chant in devotion to a state flag in schools.

It's the sort of thing they probably do in places like NK, or the Third Reich, you don't expect it to come from a supposedly modern, non imperialist nationalistic nation, ya know? :-(

This is an April Fools, right?

No way a fancy top end smartphone in 2024 doesn't have this extremely basic feature from over a decade ago that everything has....

"Do you still need to be allowed to decorate and modify your own home?"

Yes.

But wait, wouldn't a 5 second pause on loading still be way better than sitting through minutes of adverts? :-D

Punishment my arse

We've all agreed that when he dies it would be disrespectful to keep using Linux so we'll pack it up and switch to Windows from them on.

It absolutely does not cost the same price as the properly made alternative. Noooo way.

Flat pack stuff like that is way, way cheaper, thus why people buy it.
