this sucks i'm sorry. have you been through this kind of thing before and do you have anyone who can be near you in case poo poo takes a turn for the worse?

Thanks for your concern, I have been through this before, so my behaviour gets ignored, I've done it before. I'm trying really hard, but I'm old and nobody gives a gently caress anymore, I don't give a gently caress anymore.

I actually couldn't give a poo poo anymore, "If he dies, he dies"

Reminder to those planting trees not to plant them within 3 metres of other trees. They won't grow up healthy, if it's a wooded area the hawthorn & blackthorn will outcompete them & strangle everything, & it won't support as much biodiversity. More trees good though.


Solidarity to all those going through hard times :(

lmao this paper written by one of the people behind it.

Definitely the threat that we need to be most worried about right at this moment. The violent far left, causing most terror attacks and hate crimes and let's see what else they're up to

quote:

For the purposes of this study, the most important existing instrument was comprised of five of the six items which loaded onto the first factor of the SyFoR or ‘sympathy for radicalism’ scale (Bhui, Warfa, and Jones 2014), all of which relate to violent extremism. A sixth item, which related to the specific tactic of suicide bombing, was excluded. This was left out because suicide bombing is a tactic specifically associated with Islamism, and as such might not be appropriate for surveying other target populations than that for which the instrument was originally developed. It was replaced with a new item, namely ‘street violence against anti-democratic groups’. This new item was added because it relates both to the ‘squadist’ tactic of physical opposition to members of fascist groups (advocated by some on the far left as appropriate for the present historical moment) and to the imagined future necessity of defensive violence to protect the revolution against counter-revolutionary forces.
punching nazis and dreaming of after the revolution. Very dangerous. As bad as suicide bombing.

Far left is the greatest terrorist risk this country faces (as long as we ignore suicide bombings because then it's massively Islamic extremists and oh yeah we've somehow missed the far right as well)

Some on the far left even imagine that groups of people wearing the same shirts and chanting "Jews will not replace us" have something in common with some other historical moment.

Until your dealer runs out and you are up all night in bed cuz you can’t sleep but you’re also physically exhausted and thinking about nuclear war and plane crashes and listening to the beeb news bulletins all night and wow there’s a massive hurricane about to hit the United States and you feel insane but normal at the same time and then at 5am you feel hungry so you get breakfast at McDonald’s in some hallucinatory trance and then you get home and eat it and then lie back in bed and you have 20 minute microsleeps where you dream about being the worst person in the world.

And then 8am comes and you’re still tired but you realize oh gently caress I have an exam today for class so you go to class

And then when the professor passes out the exams you have a seizure.

And then you wake up in the back of an ambulance.

A second referendum is going to have to happen at some point and it's silly to just say "Nah we won't do that" and stir up all the usual suspects about SEE LABOUR DONT WANT A REFERENDUM, especially as there is literally zero chance Johnson will ever offer a referendum.

The Society for Prevention of Dead Paups might propagandise against things we like, whereas Dead Paup Fuels Plc would only campaign in their rational interests.

It's worse than that.

It was under the guise of dealing with lobbying. Instead of dealing with that it made illegal for a charity to campaign during an election as it might change people's minds.

So, working exactly as intended.

Jesus we need a leftwing government asap. Instead we're going to get the colour theory Tories.

Reading this. “The first meaningful interaction I ever had with Tony Blair was back in 1995,” he recalled in a 2014 Catholic Herald interview. “He said to me: ‘You’ve got to understand that what all of this is about is turning us from an ideology-based party into a values-based party.’ And as it happened, I completely believed in it.”

WHAT IN THE NAME OF gently caress DOES THAT EVEN MEAN?

The bit about Watson having a hissy fit because he was told no phones were being allowed in to stop leaks really paints him miserably too. Utter child.
