No where in this text can I see a quote from him saying that he'd legalise all drugs. This "public health approach" sounds like decriminalisation, which is what I'd advocate for, but not legalisation, I don't want to be seeing Tesco value acid available behind the counter, right?

Won't do anything about personal theft, fuck you should have had insurance. Skip out on a 2 quid tram fare though? They're all over that.

This country is ridiculous.

Please stop calling them punk, they ain't that.

Have never had it, never will. Social media for work? No fucking thanks.

And yet in Notts I've now been seeing police on the tram stops with like 10 tram staff making sure people are paying their 2 quid for a tram ticket. I really don't understand why the police really care about a 2 quid tram ticket but won't look for a stolen bike that cost 700 quid.

Controversial comment: Bring back the headphone jack.

I'm a web Dev and I use LLMs a lot, one of the best uses I've found is to make small tools, for example, I have a tool where I can specify a name and a list of variables, and it will output a stored proc template with my preferences, and some code that I can use in my chosen language to call the proc.

If I need to use a code library for a single task but it's 3rd party and I'm not going to use it again, I'll get an LLM to write me some examples so I can understand how to call the thing, saves me a lot of brain power.

I also use it to write me functions that I don't have available but I know have been written a million times before, like an LPAD function.

I'm also using it for music recommendations, new version of chat can search the web and amalgamate multiple sources like Reddit, last.fm and give me a neat little report on bands I might like to listen to based off artists I give it, I'm currently using it to explore psychedelic music from places like Turkey.

I also used ChatGPT recently to generate me 2 images of a guy to get around discords age check so I didn't have to give them my actual face.

I did try and get it to help me write a dating profile but everyone could tell it was LLM written so I binned it.

I've literally been saying that for years, like, no shit Sherlock this should be common knowledge.

Nearly half the right to buy houses in Notts are owned by landlords too, and it was obvious that was going to happen.

Why are our politicians so fucking short sighted?

Let's go dig up Maggie and ask her where that milk went 🎵

And the police wonder why people don't respect them and say things like "All Coppers Are Bastards".

My last few interactions with the police in Notts have been pretty dumb.

My neighbour was screaming some horrible things to a kid like "you're a cunt" and "you don't deserve to be in my care". I called 111 because I didn't think there was any violence happening but I was worried about the kid and the way they were being treated and said if you need to talk to me, they could ring. They sent out a car, was there for maybe 10 mins then rang me back and said it was fine they were "having an argument about something else", whatever that means. Then I was called an hour later and was told I'd asked to speak to someone. I've no idea where that came from, I didn't, I said they could speak to me if they need to multiple times on the call, unsure how that translated to me wanting to speak to someone higher up.

Time before that, they were out to investigate an argument between two 15 year olds at a local school, they sent out two cars and blocked both my driveway and my neighbours for over 2 hours, and refused to move their cars, even though there was plenty of space that wasn't blocking drive ways, and they spent most of that time stood in front of their cars doing naff all.

The time before that I was punched in the face by some addict being a dickhead, I reported the assault, they called me 3 times to ask me where it happened, I gave street names, they said they couldn't find it and asked if I had any CCTV evidence. I asked if I could send them a link to Google maps as they can't find it and was told they're "not allowed to use Google maps". Why I have to do the investigation for them I don't know.

Notts police are fucking useless unless they're protecting the racist mobs that travel here to march. They also brag on Facebook about busting people for cannabis.

I still buy cassettes! New ones too!

My last phone before this one was an HTC, and it needed a proprietary dongle, if I used a cheap one I'd only get sound out of one ear.

The proprietary dongle for the HTC at the time was like £16.99, which was close to what I was paying for headphones. (I'm still using a 20 quid set now).

I tried wireless earbuds but they're quite heavy and my ear canals were getting pretty sore, I just don't get on with them much. I know there's one with clips that go around the ear, but I'm not a fan of that either, especially if I've glasses on.
