Private Speech posted:What I don't get is why hating the EU and loving Brexit is such a celebrated cause among all the more fashy conservatives worldwide. The far-right is largely in thrall to the most vicious elements of international business. They're the marketing branch of vulture capitalists. Why would they break ranks when they have such a fine opportunity to feast? EDIT: Dog tax:

I found out the other day that Swaziland changed their name to Eswatini, and it’s making me want to get back into Pointless to see how this gamechanger has mixed things up.

You gotta capitalise it as eSwatini for some reasons. I guess it's a Swazi thing but hard not to read like eMail, eBay, ePorner...

I can't remember if we discussed this here or maybe in the Fash in Trad Games thread, but: Ollie off of Philosophy Tube is doing his "read all the Shakespeare plays" stream for The Samaritans, and just hit $76k while doing The Scottish Play with Mara Wilson (Matilda and nazi-hating cousing of Ben Shapiro), Ellen Rose (Outside Xbox), Mia Mulder, Dan Olson (and his dad, Steve-o), Red from OSP, and more. Othello is up next if you like that one (it's my favourite) List of plays (order subject to change apart from the ones that have already been done): https://docs.google.com/document/d/1B7plZ20TPzTgv_JXXrAx2MTFboYF_stvI3qZln8QiOs/preview Stroom: https://www.twitch.tv/philosophytube

Anyone else stocking up or am I just suffering from brexit paranoia We have an entire corner kitchen unit full of various tins and pasta/rice. Most of it is good till 2021/2.

If you're going to stockpile cans of chopped tomato you better also be stockpiling antacids.

Also I don't see the royal family going anywhere anytime soon, they've cultivated an image of themselves as a symoblic representation of the UK and symbols are powerful. Ironically they are indeed a very potent symbol of the UK, in that they're a bunch of absurdly privileged inbred wankers who are nonetheless taken seriously and given prestige and varying degrees of authority, but that's not the interpretation most people go with

Lord_Hambrose posted:Brexit day being on Halloween is just some straight up insanity. Like, has Parliament been denied access to the Purge films? Samhain was a festival marking the end of harvest and beginning of winter, and you were supposed to appease the spirits so that they'd help people survive said winter. In that sense it's appropriate if No Deal means the EU spirits don't get appeased and it's a long winter full of death and misery

Peston kept saying numbers at him and The Boj said he wouldn't be drawn into speculation, but despite not knowing the number there would absolutely be vast sums flowing into the NHS as a result yes sirthe whole thing is just a rerun of the leave campaign and with 2 months to go our top journalists are going

Guavanaut posted:It always amazes me how recent a lot of this poo poo is, but then again many of the laws criminalizing stuff in the first place are more recent than people think. Even after that, all contraceptive was only available through prescription (even condoms)! It wasn't until the late 80s/early 90s that it became properly accessable. Added to that, divorce was not legalised in Ireland until 1992, and even then it only passed after a second referendum and a razor thin majority. Gay male sex wasn't legal here until 1993, though we can thank the Brits for that.

painted into a coroner posted:Even after that, all contraceptive was only available through prescription (even condoms)! It wasn't until the late 80s/early 90s that it became properly accessable. Until 60s or early 70s single women didn't have easy access to contraceptives. You had to show proof of getting married or married to get them. (Almost all female methods of contraception require medical practitioner involvement - I can't actually think of any that don't). I thought men could get 'something for the weekend' from the barber's at any time? Guavanaut posted:It always amazes me how recent a lot of this poo poo is, but then again many of the laws criminalizing stuff in the first place are more recent than people think. Male homosexuality illegal until 1967 I think. Also, cultural stuff: I remember in the 60s and early 70s, married women in the UK almost always wore a headsquare or a hat when going out. Lovely array of photos of my mum and nan in fetching headsquares. My other nan favoured neat hats (tribly?) with a feather in the band. Didn't have equal pay til 1975, married women expected to give up work on marriage or within a year or two. Women had to have a male guarantor to get a mortgage or credit card (despite at that point women had been shown to be more reliable at paying debts). Certain school subjects not available to girls (or boys). I remember at our school causing a stir by being the first and only girl to do technical drawing and the same year two boys in my class chose to do cookery. I have discussions on this stuff with younger women who just don't get how much is available to them now that just wasn't 'back in my day'
