What the need to change is the attitude that the end goal for every tech startup is to be acquired by a tech giant. The EU need to support their companies through the scale-up phase to keep them independent.

That could be a socially healthy place to end up at. I don't see it anytime soon though. Just look at the other response I got.

Disagree. Not CSAM when no abuse has taken place.

That's my point.

Dumb.

The problem isn't that they come from overseas to get trained, it's that they got back overseas after they are trained.

Other than that, if you want to rebalance the intake, raise the UK intake. Don't slash the non-UK intake.

Honestly I think we need to understand that this is no different to sticking a photo of someone's head on a porn magazine photo. It's not real. It's just less janky.

I would categorise it as sexual harassment, not abuse. Still serious, but a different level

The plant is called rape. The seed is rapeseed.

It's more interesting to ask if " Death to Hitler" would have got you this reaction in the 30s. By the 40s we were at war with him and his followers. In the 30s he was in power, but there were still diplomatic relations.

I think Canada is quite happy as it is.

If they wanted to, or be independent. Whatever really, but very few there wanted to be part of china.

I'd be interested on a study there.

I lot of therapy is taking emotions and verbalising them so that the rational part of the brain can help in dealing with things. Even a journal can help with that, so talking to an inanimate machine doesn't seem stupid to me.

However therapists guide the conversation to challenge the patient, break reinforcing cycles, but in a way that doesn't cause trauma. A chatbot isn't going to be the same.

Watching Hong Kong get amalgamated into the rest of China after it was returned by the British has been so sad. They've raged. They've fought. But slowly they've been consumed.

It's not sinking. It's not a boat that sprung a leak. It's staying exactly where it's always been. It's getting submerged by sea level rises.

Saying it's sinking makes it sound like a local phenomenon. Sea level rises are global.
