Was a hunch joke

Our silverware cabinet is going to be bursting with all these “cup finals” we keep winning.

Played Middlesbrough endless times recently it seems, plus it’s a long trip on NYD, I’ve invited my Boro supporting mate over to watch the match and got the response “depends if I’m awake at 3pm 😂” which says it all.

Came across this, not the best as it’s not integrated but apparently a decent algorithm: https://www.gnoosic.com/

I mean there’s a whole other point about how the ticket system is shite and pushes more people to in store than it should. Especially got accessible tickets which IMO is a bit sick to force people who by definition have accessibility issues into your store.

Never!

This is my point. Obviously I’m online so I’m being a prick for effect, but plenty of older people manage to learn and there’s some who just don’t want to and want everyone else to help them out.

I’d have the same attitude if someone claimed they needed Uber Eats because they can’t cook. Or the AA to change a wheel. It’s literally the same thing. Also being called a youngster at 42:

Insult me all you like. Why is it only technology where this is an OK attitude? If I pretended I couldn’t work the vacuum and demanded someone come and did it for me is that OK? Unless you’ve got a developmental disorder this is very very basic stuff. It’s not too complex. It’s just people...

What percentage of people do you think are physically incapable of using a smart phone?

I agree. Expecting the world to stop improving people’s standards of living because you can’t be arsed to learn the most basic of skills is an extremely shitty attitude.

Surprised by that TBH. Would like to see late goals conceded as well

They need to sort their shit out then. If you can do electrical work but not use a browser it’s because you can’t be arsed to learn and are expecting the rest of society to pick up the slack for your strategic incompetence.

To be clear what you are asking for is extremely large infrastructure, mostly maintained by poverty wages, so you don’t have to do a task 99% of the population has no issues with, despite there being no reasonable excuse not to. The web has been around for over 30 years. Home computers well...

Yes? This is technology literal babies can use. My Mum (72) still uses paper maps but can also manage to book an event online. It’s really not some insurmountable task.

The “stats” you are using are basically the graphs @Philosorapter makes. This is the conclusion of your logic:

How did I miss this! What a Christmas present. Thanks @gruffskyblue

It’s not about people not being viable, it’s about people still choosing not to have internet in 2023. Same as people that insist on using cash only, or who don’t want to use other technology. At some point it’s on them. My Dad is 76 and worked as a systems analyst, pretty much everyone alive...

A bus service is a public utility and shouldn’t be expected to be profitable. I’d love to nationalise football clubs but it’s not going to happen 🤣 I’m a proponent of a high wage economy.

That number for households is miles off, it’s more like 1m. Also from that Committee in Sept: https://commonslibrary.parliament.uk/research-briefings/cdp-2023-0176/#:~:text=Ofcom's%202023%20Technology%20Tracker%20estimates,2020%20and%2024%25%20in%202011.
