I don’t think The Sun is trying to convince people to vote Labour, I think they just don’t want to be on the losing side, so that’s why they’re not backing Rishi.

They even say in their piece that they support many of Rishi’s policies. Then they reluctantly say “it is time for Labour”, which sounds to me like a bitter acceptance that Labour will likely win, rather than them encouraging people to vote for Labour.

Hypotheticals can be interesting but I think they’re more interesting when you think about how they would actually work in reality.

Like if someone says “would you give up alcohol forever for £1 million”. Surely the interesting part of that question is thinking about how it would work in reality. For example would you be allowed to take the £1 million, invest it, end up with several million, then pay back the original £1 million so you can drink alcohol again?

There’s a solution to this problem. Stop using Windows and instead use Linux, or even MacOS.

The thing is that you can’t guarantee safety. Things can always go wrong. Perhaps that’s why people are cautious about it.

I guess it’s personal to different people. Some people don’t care about sex and that’s fine. Some people want sex, and as long as they do it in an ethical way (e.g. not sexually abusing anybody), that’s fine too.

If sex does matter to someone then they might not want to lose that part of themselves. Just like, if you have a certain hobby, you might think “I hope I maintain my interest in this hobby, because it’s a key part of who I am”.

Sex is important to most organisms. I don’t think people want sex just because it’s a norm in society. I think they want it due to an instinctive desire. Just like people want to eat food and breathe air.

Centrist here. I don’t think the point of horseshoe theory is that the far-left and far-right are the same. The point is simply that they have similarities. Like both wanting to use violence to achieve their aims.
