Men/women - gender (social). Male, female - sex (biology). It’s very simple, just use the right one depending on the context.

That pushed me over the edge to subscribe to the print edition

What are they starting to do that is shady and why do you think don’t respect privacy? (I couldn’t see anything on the document you mentioned)

Why?

I think that’s a reach - the difference between boring choices and interesting ones isn’t the engine - look at New Vegas and Daggerfall.

The problem with the latest Bethesda games has not been the engine. It’s the writing and the design choices

And some times people die because of it. What a world

Just not helping

It’s a good game - I got my moneys worth from it, and the history of the Czech legion is remarkable! They pretty much define ‘going home the long way’!

Right click Onedrive Icon, settings, sync and backup, Manage Backup, turn off what ever you don’t want backed up. At that point all your desktop / document content will disappear (looks like Microsoft linked the normal and Onedrive folders, which is a useful trick occasionally) so move everything out of Onedrive back into your normal folders

It is shit but it’s easy to turn off.

The debt sucks. A progressive graduate tax would probably have been better - then you couldn’t just avoid it by having rich parents, or avoid the interest by paying it off quick by going into banking. But, you know, tax…

The great British public utter failing to understand coalition politics - if you want the Lib Dem’s to have to make less compromises the key is to vote in more Lib Dems… not less. Of course a government that is mostly Conservative is going to do mostly Conservative things. But it also did some Lib Dem things, which is better than no Lib Dem things! The idea that ‘Vote Conservative and be fucked’ is more compelling than ‘Vote Lib Dem and be a bit less fucked’ goes a long way to explaining the mess this country is in.

What’s wrong with voting Lib Dem?

That’s actually quite a good idea

Points for reading!

Not a good summary

You’re right about the slash by Brown in 2008 - it was 40% under Lawson (Conservative) - that should be revisited

From a tax perspective it’s not the same - not least because it’s hard to pin down when the money was earned- if you bought shares 10 years ago, and their value increased 8 years ago and then you held them for 8 years before selling this year when do you say the gain was? If you paying a low rate of income tax 8 years ago should you pay that on the gain? You can say 20% is too low, but you can’t treat it like earned income.

Likewise you do earn it in a sense (if everything is working right) - you give up the ability to access that cash and accept you might make a loss

If you’re just objecting to the idea you can use money to make money - Ok, but that seems to be an intrinsic property of money and there’s not much to be done about it.

It’s not - he paid capital gains tax on a capital gain.
