A Buttery Pastry posted:Well, for me, the whole point is that it might actually be a pretty bad metric. Like, do you know it does the job, or have you just decided that being pro-environment is non-fash without evidence? You don't even have to use compassion as your motivator, an environmentalist tendency might just as well be driven by a reactionary hatred of progress, and you wanting a nice natural world you can escape into to get away from all these awful degenerates. Yes, I know from a lifetime of interacting with other human beings that the ones that give a poo poo about the environment and animals tend to be the ones that give a poo poo about other people. I cant give you the p-value on that one but it's been so readily apparent at all times in my 34 years on this blasted pissworld that I take it as a pretty solid working heuristic

It's just as bad on the vile continent, but it still feels better than the 40+ from last month, so I dunno. Plus it's supposed to be over Wednesday night.

I've worked in conservation for years and almost everyone I work with is a pro-environment leftie bastard. Occasional exceptions tend to me the management ladder-climber types who just see pound symbols when they realise that you can sometimes get money for improving the environment.

I have come across the eco-fash types in Norway FWIW. The kind that fetishize 'returning to the wilderness', which is also curiously and coincidentally free of anyone who fails the paper bag test.

I think I posted a couple weeks ago about running into an ecologist who went on an entirely unprompted rant that began with protecting environmental diversity and ended with loving great replacement shite. In a city which is around 98% white, although I guess he did include Russians and Poles in the threat to "Norwegian culture". Never mind that this area is all historically Sápmi.

Nothing adds character to a property quite like a big, crudely drawn cock and balls. They're much fancier in Bhutan (possibly  - drawings of willies), I learned from watching an educational documentary programme on my television one time.

I walked round to see my Mum today, not too far but really loving hot, and I was sweating like the fat, unfit piece of poo poo I am. She wasn't there (after 3 means you'll be there at 3:20 mother!) Sat in the park nearby for ten minutes and tried again - she was there! Been out walking the dog. Had a nice chat. I like my Mum.

A Buttery Pastry posted:It's kinda crazy when you run into a person like that. Like, it's clearly something they do on the regular, and they get so little push-back on their ideas that they just keep doing it. I still recall my (at the time all-new first time I met him) neighbor extolling the virtues of Assad gassing his people because the Arab was inherently barbaric and only had two modes - the cowed slave and the free savage, and the latter was a threat to all mankind. I have to imagine most people either agree with him or politely try to truth is in the middle him and say that Arabs could potentially be civilized with Western help.  e: Oslo is pretty dull to be fair, but I don't think the reason is "too much cultural diversity". big scary monsters fucked around with this message at 19:27 on Aug 26, 2019 |

LMFAO I don't know if you guys remember the semi-AI-generated Theresa May speech I did a while back. A new version of some text-generation AI has just been released, and somebody has made a website where you enter in the first and last sentence of a passage of text, give it an approximate length to work to and it'll generate the middle. I tried it out (my start and end text in Bold): quote:There are many different kinds of crisps available in the UK. They're not all of the same quality, and most don't actually taste like crisps at all — it's all about flavour! In the UK, you might see an array of flavours on shelves, such as BBQ chicken and a hot dog, but in Canada the variety is very limited. So why isn't it just the Hot Sauce variety? What's in the Munch that makes them so drat hard to get? The flavours of meat crisps come into it naturally — they're a whole meal, with plenty of flavour. But meat is a really expensive commodity, and some people don't believe it can be made safe and convenient until it's consumed by someone who has health concerns. That's where the Flaming Hot Hot Monster Munch come in. They contain more flavour than most chips, and not only that, they've got really fancy name too — FLICKM-POW-POW! *Art Attack voice*: Try it yourself: https://www.ai21.com/haim WhatEvil fucked around with this message at 20:20 on Aug 26, 2019 |

I really wanted bank holidays abolished. Tesseraction posted:Ahh, so this is revenge-smuggery for the rest of us. I assume the date differences are because Scottish schools have been back for a week or two now and having a bank holiday that soon into the start of term would be dumb.
