Knives, acid and guns - London has become an ugly place for many of its residents. But what is behind the rise in violent attacks? Police funding, drugs, social media or maybe something else?

Everyone thinks that their problems are bigger than your problems, right?

Integration is usually discussed in terms of immigrant communities becoming more “British”. But what happens when hipsters move to areas where immigrants have lived for years and start bringing their coffee shops and cobbled streets?

Google not working anymore? Don't worry, we'll sort you. Sam Wolfson and co are not promising clear answers, because life is not that simple, but SE3 of Yeah, But It's Not As Simple As That does have a bunch of interesting reports, discussions, and even a gameshow!

Series 3 is coming soon but in the meantime here's a little bit of what happened at the Vice Census Live at Manchester International Festival Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This week we speak to Yuval Noah Harari about his book Homo Deus, and ask whether we are now at a point where our technology is starting to know us better than we know ourselves. Should we just hand over decision-making power to our fitbits, Facebook and other devices that track our health and personality?  We also hear from a company that has created a kegel tracker that goes inside your vagina, and talk to Vice regulars about whether whether there is any point in resisting technological advances that make our lives better. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

It's never been easier to have sex with a stranger, if you're single and on Tinder you could basically go home with someone every single night. But most of us don't do that, and not because we don't like having sex but because the people we meet somehow don't live up to our standards. Of course some people are simply tactless or cruel, but mostly it's little things that upset us. Tiny little dealbreakers – a goatee, bad footwear, the word "lush" – that stop us going home with someone. This week we're just talking about dealbreakers: awful restaurant selection, dodgy politics and other things that would make you have a "sudden emergency" after one drink. Hosted on Acast.
