    I thought I’d remembered different names for it! I never made that connection though. I did try playing on Legendary this time around but it was too difficult. Halo 2 seems much harder than Reach, which was the last one I completed on Legendary. Maybe I’m just out of practice…

    It’s ok, I don’t play Zelda. It’s more like I think Pokémon Blue was 10 years ago old but actually it was probably gen 4 (is that called Platinum?)

    … I wish I hadn’t looked at Wikipedia now. Platinum was the third installment in gen 4 and that was 16 years ago. Apparently we’re up to gen 9 somehow


  • Literally like a week ago the transport secretary resigned because of a fraud case from 2014.

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louise_Haigh

    (She says she did nothing morally wrong, and it was just an accident but was advised by her lawyer to plead guilty because she technically was guilty. She allegedly lost her phone, reported it stolen, then found the phone again so reporting it stolen was fraudulent.)

    It seems a bit dumb to me, and it was over 10 years ago so who cares, but she stepped down because she thought that the whole scandal surrounding that the media kicked up was more trouble than its worth to the new Labour government. So actually maybe she didn’t resign out of shame? Hmm…

    Well, I’ve typed all this out now so I’ll let you all decide what to think of it haha

    If there’s enough profit to turn the CEO into a billionaire, there’s also enough profit to pay the workers more. Certainly, as you’ve said, things could be worse and there’s plenty of bad examples, these workers were still being underpaid relative to the value they produced
