When I worked in a book shop and customers pissed me off by being rude and condescending, instead of saying "Thank you" at the end of the transaction I'd mumble, "Fuck you very much." They were never completely sure what they heard - plausible deniability in action.
Aged 42 I've developed a shoplifting habit. Always at the self scan in the supermarket, a card here, pack of biscuits there. Recently managed to get a £15 cheese advent calendar in. Staff are so overworked they just approve everything. Not struggling financially, just bored.

V polovině 19. století navrhl Charles Babbage stroj, který mohl změnit svět. Nešlo o pouhý mechanický kalkulátor, nýbrž rovnou o první programovatelný počítač.

The great Polish exodus: The arrival of 100,000s of Poles changed the face of Britain, but now they're returning home in droves for a better life in their low-tax, booming homeland. Could there be a more damning indictment of our decline?

New statistics reveal that while 7,000 Poles arrived in the year ending last June, 25,000 returned home: a net outflow of 18,000. The UK's total Polish population has shrunk to 750,000.David Jones (Daily Mail)
@bermudianbrit 90% accurate, gets all the major points right. I wouldn't focus on Gdansk here, but ehh journalists do what they do, it isn't a modern article if it doesn't describe what kind of Latte the interviewee was drinking during the interview.
@bermudianbrit I'd say Gdansk is actually a bad example. I don't live there, but from what I hear, it's basically the "weekend town" for rich people from Warsaw, mostly due to its proximity to both the sea and the capital, and that drives prices (and especially rents) up. The thesis of the article is actually much more accurate for other cities.

Microsoft should have two versions of the desktop operating systems. One with all the AI bullshit that the hard of thinking can froth themselves blind over, and another which is just bare-bones that lets the rest of us run all the applications we need without constant annoyances.
