      The entire UK is a country sized Potemkin Village set up by the United States to let the terf islanders live out their remaining days in peace while the rest of the world kindly plays along.

      Oh wow gran that’s amazing. How would you like some mushy peas huh? That sounds good, right?

        What are you trying to kill me? Mushy peas are much too spicy. Now if you dip some bread into the pea wet, then that's a proper meal innit.

        Where's my peace motherfucker!?! big-honk

        You're right, but this applies to like 500 people who run Britain, 300 of which their families always have, and 200 of which pretend their families always did.

      It's less than ten years since the British goverment spent several years trying to ban encryption entirely until eventually enough poeple they trust told them they were fucking idiots and it would destroy the economy overnight.

        It would be funny if British colleges complied and stopped teaching about encryption and all the fresh government hires have no idea what any of it means

          What’s cost of living like though?

          In fairness I reckon you could piss away three and a half grand a month away fairly easily in London.

            obscene, you're considered low income in the bay area if you make <$104k

                  Idk, I live here and I think the numbers are inflated because of tech bros tbh

                  100k = 65k after taxes

                  You can find a nice studio in downtown or 1 bedroom outside downtown center for 1.6-2.2k, after utils. Ignore the median rent in the article, it's cause of all the luxury apartments that are needlessly expensive for tech bros

                  65k = 5.4k /month

                  After taxes and rent you have 3.4k a month?

                  In a city that's tiny and has a workable public transit system so you also don't need a car

              Yeah, I’ve heard that. Got mentioned in a thing about the Cecil Hotel, in San Francisco, how basically no one can afford to live in downtown LA or SF. Interesting to hear it off an actual person.

      I think this is also what the average new grad makes in London in the private sector...

      Certainly half of what new grads are paid at the big players
