I'm watching BBC News' report on it right now, and they're very much calling it a terrorist attack (or at least letting the people they have on call it that unchallenged), and saying other similar incidents could be copycats of Christchurch. Hallmarks of far-right, extreme right, alt-right all getting mentioned.

Objective truth is probably impossible for humans to access because even very simple things are seen through our senses that we can't really rely on 100%. And since everything we do is via our senses there's no way to ever know if they're being accurate. For all we know that guy yelling about seeing God on the street is right and the rest of us are wrong. Getting at objective truth is a useless endeavour, we should be trying to make people happy instead (except the fash).

Anywhere that you can't control for things, yeah, just try not to be an rear end, but those studies from above can help with that, which is why all reactionaries have a pathological distrust of academia (rather than just saying it can get a lot wrong but also a lot right).

Dead Goon posted:I was 0-9 during the 80s and we ran around like loving idiots, crashing our bikes, trying to climb trees, we did actually eat mud and all that poo poo. The first wave of the "didn't grow out of their childhood nuts/seeds allergy" cohort are the best part of 10 years older than you so it's not that you've never met someone with a potentially fatal allergy, it was just ignored back then. I mean I was in my 20s before the idea of carrying an epipen was even suggested and I was first taken to hospital with a potentially fatal reaction when I was about 6 months old (parents tried peanut butter during weaning, and it didn't work) What there was in the late 90s was a bunch of people whose children "were allergic to nuts" for as long as the fad went on - they're now "allergic to gluten" and were probably "lactose intolerant" at some point in between. At least with that poor girl dying because Pret didn't want to clutter up their branding people have finally noticed that seed allergies are a thing as well (a load of "nuts" are seeds after all) and are finally marking them as allergens so you don't need to go over the ingredients list on everything you buy with a fine tooth comb (highlighting seeds has been on the government's allergy advice for decades but it wasn't a "fashionable " allergy) PriorMarcus posted:So... genuine question... with Brexit looking likely to be delayed what are my best options for moving to and staying in Europe as soon as possible?

I'm definitely low key sceptical of kids diagnosed with allergic purely via their parents with no investigation done. I've never suffered through an allergy clinic (cannot think of anything more dull) but have heard of very middle class parents turning up convinced their kid is allergic to basil or satin.

As we're on allergy chat, I only found out after ten years of playing guitar that for other people the pain in your fingers after playing kinda stops happening after the first few weeks, and that I'm in fact allergic to the nickel most guitar strings are made out of. I found this out because my girlfriend bought me a GENUINE STERLING SILVER earring from the market, and my earlobe went off like an airbag. e: incidentally the worst humblebrag I've ever done... "Yeah I play the guitar and I have an earring and a girlfriend, NBD" goddamnedtwisto fucked around with this message at 22:10 on Mar 17, 2019 |

PriorMarcus posted:So... genuine question... with Brexit looking likely to be delayed what are my best options for moving to and staying in Europe as soon as possible? Preferably somewhere like Sweden or Denmark? Until Brexit happens you can just get on a flight, show up in whatever EU country you like and register with whatever the local equivalent of a NI number is. Get yourself an address by renting a room or something so you have something to put on your paperwork, that's it. You'll want a bank account, job, long term accommodation etc, but if you have savings for a few months' living costs you can probably sort that out once you're there. If you don't I'd try and find work ahead of time that'll pay your relocation expenses, but you might have left it a little late by now. You are entitled to social benefits such as unemployment or disability in any EU country in which you are resident - they may have different requirements than the UK but your time working in the UK (or other EU countries) has to be considered the same as if you'd been working in your host country. Whether you'll be allowed to stay after Brexit is currently unclear, of course. But no country (except the UK) wants to lose thousands of skilled foreign workers overnight and most Brits abroad are exactly that, so sorting something out is likely to be a priority.

Depends on how you define good and bad things, but I assume you've got a solidly decent leftist interpretation of 'happy people' which is a lot more measurable than 'amount of atoms'
