I think you're quite wrong. I'm not going to give up over a decade of skilled work because of a downturn. I'm not a fair weather dev.

when software is a fully outsourced function we'll see the same with marketing, sales, management, product. You won't need anyone locally.

This won't happen because of the problems culturally diverse teams experience.

I'm not being outsourced by AI, I'm being hit by projects going on hold because of budget constraints, and people not willing to hire a consultant because "they'll leave when the market improves".

Your coldness stems from ignorance not understanding.

thank you.

I really doubt that. I saw the market imorove and rates were higher, could be I came of a certain amount of experience at that time though.

I've found things have seriously taken a hit after IR35, but after interest rates increased saw the market truly become a desert.

is it just interest rates causing this? Seems almost impossible to be seen let alone heard. I've been thinking the ATS is causing lots of issues, but I've noticed how narrow roles and requirements have become.

where would one begin looking for SEA?

who covers egress costs?

size, cost, culture of buying older vehicles. Those are just a few and as sporkydistance mentioned existing vehicles are good enough. My vehicle is ULEZ compliant and is from 2006, I will have this car until it hits 150-200k. That will have been majority of my driving career.

Alarm bells ring after the first like.

by using them

I've met many Welsh, Scottish and English who don't identify as British. I'm <insert nation> first, not British.

I'm British, born in England.

death of left was with new labour. That was the _real_ shift to the right.

depends who you're speaking to.

Scrap it, bad idea.

Can you expand on this, I'm not 100% familiar with the way this is communicated and it just seems like mental gymnastics to avoid calling debt what it is.

part of reddits failure IMO is the way in which shadow banning is used to encourage groupthink.

Its amazing how over the past 12-13 years Reddit feels like it has changed from random site you could get quite different and often difficult opinions about a matter which would challenge you, to now where you get blocked by users (not because of harassment, but just differing opinions), banned on subreddits (because you just don't agree with an often child like simplification/ narrative), mass organised down voting( which leads to further shadow banning across Reddit).

All these things have turned it into a playground of school bullies, and those who virtue signal seeking karma.

Then again, it could always have been that, and I just grew out of it.

I'd have no problem with ads if they weren't so invasive and frequent. should be no more than 5% of time should be dedicated to ads. seems like the cost of ads needs to go up not down.

unsubscribed as a result. Bit gutted about this. Thing is £200+ per year just isn't worth it. I'd much rather go back to torrenting and managing things in than paying that amount of money. Same with Spotify. The fragmentation of streaming services will be the end, it'll be a slow death, but a new model is needed.

How to offer abundance for free or close to?

british prime minsters are chosen as the head of the party, by members of the party. This thread seems to not understand that members of the british public can vote for the leader of the party they wish to vote for.

We do not vote on individuals, but on a group at election time. That group is democratically elected, and within that group the leader is democratically elected by its party members (whoever wishes to join).

The EU by definition is anti-democractic (any centralization of power without accountability results in loss of democractic influence). The most important thing to understand is that the public do not have the same level of influence on the direction of the EU that say the public has in in the UK. With that said, the position of the UK and its dealings is irrelevant to the matter at hand. If we are are discussing an anti-democractic group we don't make it democractic by finding someone equally or more so anti-democratic.

given twitter is 90% bots, this is both the best and worst idea possible.

normal person in tge north of england might be willing to pay 3x, just so they don't have to carry bags?

Where in the north are people this rich and lazy?

theres Current a cost of living crisis and this comment is just wildly out of touch. Are you a politician?
