jabby posted:As someone once said to me, when you realise you've offended someone you have two options. You can make a simple change to your language or behaviour so that it's no longer offensive, or you can start arguing for your right to offend people. Choosing option two, regardless of any truth to it, makes you an rear end in a top hat.

I get all my slang terms from my brothers, who seem to have a new set of bizarre phrases and insults every time I go home. Currently popular for idiots/pricks are 'dinlo' and 'jagaloon', which are kosher as far as I can tell

Guavanaut posted:Some people deserve to be offended, otherwise you just end up with liberal "denying free speech to fascists is a form of fascism". I'm turned off 'offended' as a word if only because we live in a society where it's more offensive to call someone a racist than to actually be a racist.

Love Like Blood posted:Lost my loving toenail to a police horse today. On the plus side, the fash march in Bristol today was outnumbered by counter-demonstrators about 100-1 & spent all 20 minutes of their anti-immigration protest in a giant bucket being mocked by local news reporters and forgetting what group they were with. Let's not let this one slip past, behold the might of the master race in all it's awesome glory:   At an estimated cost of £100,000 for the policing operation that works out to roughly £5,000 per nazi who bothered to turn up.

Are there any fash backing Remain? Historically at least some threads of the far-right supported a kind of pan-European nationalism, Mosley advocated giving a European Parliament type body even more control and power in Europe a Nation, with a the old national governments limited to social and cultural policy. Nowdays the far-right seems to have entirely joined the are oval office tree lot though.

I think the EU's reputation at being able to control immigration from outside Europe is too damaged for fash. Better to pull back and close the borders of our little inbred island. Britain will then be great again like it was when we uh.... ruled the world by having giant armies made up of people from all the places we conquered while being very much non-isolationist. gently caress knows. I think the plan is: 1) Leave EU 2) Britain now has infinite money 3) Britain is no.1 4) All Commonwealth nations want to be part of Britain again 5) All people in Commonwealth nations mysteriously white and European????? Makes u think 6) Britain controls world again but has no non-white population because of the dark magiks of John Dee! 7) Instrumentality

Total Meatlove posted:in Pompey it ain't, it's dinlo or din I remember it had a brief vogue in the 80s after being used in a kids show (Grange Hill maybe?) as a kid-safe curse word. Which of course meant any kid who used was instantly called every single one of those words that have just been discussed, because bowlderised swearwords are the stupidest loving thing. Either swear or don't, oval office.

Cerv posted:The sole remaining elected representative of the CPGB is standing down. Although he's been sitting as an independent since that party went in the 90s and apparently the CPB can't make some technical criteria for getting named on the ballot. Does anyone know what that's about? Looks like the Communist Party of Scotland, which he's a member of, isn't registered with the electoral commission. Don't know why, it costs £150 and you have to maintain and submit annual accounts to ensure compliance with rules regarded funding but apart from that there really isn't much in the way of barriers

Gorn Myson posted:Its "Lets leave the EU and everything will instantly be better, and all of those important people that say they won't strike favourable deals with us after leaving are all lying". It's not even that a lot of the time - some of them are honest enough to admit they have no idea how it'll work out, and that and the potential negative consequences have been put to Leave supporters as well. Their response basically comes down to 'there's too many immigrants and we need to take back control of our borders'. Seems that's pretty much what's driving this referendum, the actual economic and political case for leaving the EU (or lack of it) is practically irrelevant. Action for action's sake In happier news, John McDonnell is fully ready for the robot future  quote:John McDonnell: Labour taking a close look at universal basic income quote:The centrist Labour backbencher Jonathan Reynolds, who resigned from Jeremy Corbyn’s shadow cabinet in January, will also appear at Monday’s event, indicating the idea is not just under consideration on the left of the party. quote:The Compass research, which was supported by charity the Joseph Rowntree Foundation, finds that shifting immediately to a UBI would be prohibitively expensive and create too many losers among the poorest families.

mainstream coverage of UBI is accelerating, and it is now quicker to highlight that many proposals involve large reductions in niche situations that have very high payouts (eg disabled pensioner requiring care resident in an expensive area) ofc in a discourse of universal credit, that might not be a very large additional hurdle to vault

But since when has this ever been a problem? See also: tuition fees. baka kaba posted:Only if the case for UBI is allowed to be framed as 'everyone gets X amount and if you need any more then too bad' that is indeed how it is being framed, especially as budgetary constraints become a larger and larger feature of proposals

£71 a week for everyone is basically "JSA gets a much needed hike and also everybody gets it all the time, sanctions to be abolished forever" It's not perfect, and yeah, it's probable it'd be used as a stick to beat the most vulnerable with to the tune of "what, you want more money?". But they're getting a kicking right now as it is what with the risk of immediate and total withdrawal of all benefits on the flimsiest excuse, and I can't think it helps anybody to hold off on incremental progress because changing things will hurt some people even while it helps others.

ronya posted:that is indeed how it is being framed, especially as budgetary constraints become a larger and larger feature of proposals It's not, the study explicitly says that some of the current framework will have to remain in place quote:But because a flat-rate payment, like a UBI, makes no allowance So in the short term, what they're proposing is UBI on principle in addition to the current targeted payments. They talk about establishing a fund to increase the base UBI rate over time, but that doesn't require every other welfare payment to be phased out. If anything it makes more sense to consider things like social care and disability support as part of the NHS, which is explicitly a 'to each according to their need' setup

Ahhh good, my childhood returns to me. I watched every loving episode religiously of this, god drat it made me ready for the inevitability of life. Regarde Aduck posted:Intent is everything. No one saying retarded ITT is ever going to be mocking people with downs syndrome. Point taken anyway. But I am getting a little frustrated just how little language there is left that can fully encapsulate my hatred for the people of this loving country. "Stupid" just doesn't have the right weight to it. Moron has a nice ring to it but it also has its origins as a medical term. I guess "Thicky thicky thickton!!!!!!!" will have to do. Also poo poo, bastard, fuckhole, fuckhead, honestly just use gently caress-insertwordhere, it's a very versatile word, get inventive like this guy did! - https://youtu.be/1WSHBYkx1xs?t=10m53s FinalGamer fucked around with this message at 18:29 on Jun 5, 2016 |
