I'd like to find a new job but I'm a bit nervous about making a switch and then immediately being laid off because of Brexit. At least at the moment I have the benefit of state redundancy to the maximum amount. Is there anyway to limit the risk of this, anyone else hanging on to a job that makes them miserable due to possible implications of Brexit?

Rarity posted:Shh, you'll tear the podcast apart before the first episode is even finished! This is why you get the crisp challenge done properly in the first episode, round up all the contenders and everyone discusses which is the best and they go through the bracket in the correct order. It's hard hitting investigative journalism.

Make a nice pie case, and have at it. Some of the cat food combinations are bizarre, but hey, it might taste alright.

I liked going to iceland, but there's no shops near me at the moment. Decent prices and decent stuff if you don't mind packaged goods. The bigger ones ofcourse have fresh veg and so on. They have frozen Greggs products as well in a partnership for those so inclined. Diet Crack fucked around with this message at 19:08 on Aug 1, 2019 |

forkboy84 posted:A 2010 study suggest about £21bn. Add in the sort of insanely incompetent budgeting that saw HS2 go from £20bn to a predicted £85bn It's not (just) a matter of incompetence, it's politicians telling consultants "we need <thing> and it needs to cost X or it'll get shot down". Then when it inevitably goes over budget billions will already have been spent and the sunk cost fallacy does its job to get it over the line. If they'd prepare a budget based on actual expected costs plus some contingency there would be a public outcry and nothing would ever get funded.

Going back a bit, the parallels between fascism and neoliberalism are fascinating. Cribbing from Eco's Ur-fascism strongly here. Both are explicitly hierarchical, but the source of hierarchy differs - fascists tend to rely on nature and myth (traditionalist, spiritual or similar), but neoliberals use success in the market; also, in neoliberalism it's technically possible to shift places in the hierarchy if your behaviour is rewarded by the market. There's a direct comparison with the Nazis here - Hitler was explicit about how the best people to manage the common wealth of the Volk would be those business owners who had proved themselves through market competition thus being the naturally best-suited. Both are also very, very happy to discard those considered weak. Both reject modernity - fascism through appeal to tradition and a mythical past, and neoliberalism through rejecting human rationality, replacing it with the market as both the most rational of actors and the best decision-maker / information aggregator. Neoliberalism is, like fascism, intrinsically undemocratic since, as people are irrational, the market is best-placed to make decisions - markets in a sense become democracy since they're aggregating the decisions of the population. The fascist cult of heroism, action, and death is kind of paralleled by the neoliberal entrepreneurial spirit and pursuit of risk as behavioural corrector. Also there's some similarity between the fascist love of struggle and the neoliberal love of market competition, both are determining fitness-to-exist. Final similarity I noticed - both are suspicious of new knowledge, in the neoliberal case specifically if it hasn't been obtained by market mechanisms. Some important differences though. It's worth distinguishing the instrumentalised racism in neoliberal societies from the racism of fascist societies - it is theoretically possible to have neoliberalism without racism (or other prejudice), but in practice it tends to utilise existing racism; compare this to fascism, which is dependent on some Other. There's also no fear of difference or disagreement in neoliberalism; the more ideas in the market, the better, since that's the way truth is determined. Appeal to a frustrated middle class is a foundation of fascism, but I'm not sure it applies so much to neoliberalism - might be some parallels with its implementation in the 1970s-80s? Taking a few definitions of fascism Griffon: The Palingenetic Core of Fascist Ideology posted:Fascism is a political ideology whose mythic core in its various permutations is a palingenetic form of populist ultra-nationalism. Paxton: Five Stages of Fascism posted:Fascism is a system of political authority and social order intended to reinforce the unity, energy, and purity of communities in which liberal democracy stands accused of producing division and decline. Paxton: The Anatomy of Fascism posted:Fascism may be defined as a form of political behavior marked by obsessive preoccupation with community decline, humiliation, or victim- hood and by compensatory cults of unity, energy, and purity, in which a mass-based party of committed nationalist militants, working in uneasy but effective collaboration with traditional elites, abandons democratic liberties and pursues with redemptive violence and without ethical or legal restraints goals of internal cleansing and external expansion.

Anglo-Irish Landlords were not just a 19th century thing. They were a 12th century thing. It's not just the Pale as the pre-Tudor area of English influence. In the areas of the Irish earldoms(large swathes of what is now the republic) the legal system was common law as opposed to native Brehon law, English was common and the lords were taking their direction from the English monarchy, down to getting involved in all the squabbles like the war of the roses and the barons revolt. The Tudor era is marked by the Anglo-Irish Lords being alienated from the heavy handed Tudors, leading to a series of rebellions followed by direct control over the region being taken by England- but the Anglo-Irish land was already distinct from the rest of the country before the Elizabethan plantations began. It's not quite the same thing as the later James I plantations of the Ulster.
