And I said nothing, because I was not a private school. Then they came for the private hospitals, and I said nothing, because I was not a private hospital. Then they came for the private water monopolies, and I said nothing, because I was not a private water monopoly. Then they came for the private prisons, and I said nothing, because I was not a private prison. Then they came for me, and nobody spoke up because I was a private equity firm. And then people were generally better off.

Gavrilo Princip posted:Question for the thread: First congrats on being nearly done. It's a hell of an achievement and you're almost there. Second, do you know why you're having pressure applied to finish by a given date? Has the viva committee been set up or is there a hard funding deadline or something? I was never pressured to finish really, and I know people who submitted several years after what is considered 'normal' for my field without a huge fuss. If it is a hard deadline, you can probably register with a new GP and ask them for a note. If it takes a while the uni might even understand the situation- if you can bring them a document showing you've just registered and are waiting on the appointment.

To look at the way the world is and say "well clearly it's because the people in power are just personally very good at arguing" is... well it's insane to me, why is boris johnson on the television with the entire press apparatus telling us to listen to him? Do you not think maybe that presentation is more significant than boris johnson being an individually brilliant mind?

With all the nandos talk I just wanted to bring up that I’d never been to one since i moved to Canada. One opened up here last year and they invited me to a secret chicken party for being active on Twitter (lol) and it was kind of amazing. Although I do feel a little weird going there alone and ordering a half or whole chicken and literally nothing else. Now I just make my own peri peri at home because it’s insanely easy. Anyway story time over back to eating the rich.

OwlFancier posted:Have you seen the society we currently live in mate? my point of reference is Southeast Asia, so yes I will say that the DM does not currently have the ability to deploy actual lynch mobs on-demand, but it would certainly love to be able to do so collective violence is not actually pretty and its chief enduring feature is that nobody has a consensus, or really cares to form a consensus, over petty facts like "who made this accusation" or "did the guy you're stringing up actually do this thing" the "who" is itself dangerous; it is very important that the dead person is known but those who perform the killing must be a nameless mob. It's a kind of collective expiation, really. The dead person is dead, but the bonds of shared-struggle-against-unspecified-evil between those who slashed him to death with parangs will last much longer

You could potentially fish for an emergency appointment at your local (now) GP but good luck getting one as people who are still sick are looking at 1-2 week waiting times. The other alternative is to get a private GP to write one out for you but that will involve £££. Edit: Beaten like Boris Johnson.

Bobby Deluxe posted:Call 111, describe your symptoms. They'll get you to see someone much faster than any GP surgery will. Once you are in the presence of the GP, ask for a note. Please don't call 111 for an illness you had last week, it's for urgent current medical problems. First week of any illness is a self certificate. Many GPs will charge for a note if asked in this period as it's not needed. There's an online self cert form somewhere but I'll be damned if I can find it.

Self-certification If employees are off work for 7 days or less, they do not need to give their employer a fit note or other proof of sickness from a medical professional. When they return to work, their employer can ask them to confirm they’ve been off sick. This is called ‘self-certification’. The employer and employee will agree on how the employee should do this. They might need to fill in a form or send details of their sick leave by email. Self-cert form here if your uni (or research council if you receive a grant) doesn't have one: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/statutory-sick-pay-employees-statement-of-sickness-sc2

Thanks for the recommendations guys, it's a hard deadline as far as I can tell. There's certainly a lot of pressure coming from various quarters to have it in within the 4 year period, but I'll run the self-cert past supervisor 2 and see what they say. They certainly indicated that a week would be fine but I don't want to push it out too long, I'm out of money and need to find a job asap. Can't keep leaning on my fiancee, especially since she hates her job and I want her to be able to cut back on hours. At least I'm in Leeds and can drive so I should be able to find -something- to keep the lights on.

And as I repeatedly have to when this comes up, I point out again that "humans are just poo poo" is the core of the right wing argument, that we cannot achieve anything better because humans are just natural capitalists, so let's never try.

to the contrary: trying is mandatory. it is not enough to just abolish the media and the reactionaries and say "demagoguery is over. human beings are logical now". you don't have to be rich or charismatic or correct to persuade people to do lovely things, and I would suggest there needs to be more here than "in anarchism, people won't want to be racist"

At least I'm in Leeds and can drive so I should be able to find -something- to keep the lights on. If they say no about the self-cert, then submit within the time if, as you say, you are almost there anyway, and can knock it out with a couple of days intense effort. You will almost certainly have to do corrections/clarifications following your viva so if there are a couple of things you'd like to add / amend, maybe you can mention them in your viva and the examiners might say 'add a bit about this or that' to your amendments list. I don't know what field you are in, but maybe if your supervisor has experience as a PhD examiner they could advise you. As my supervisor said to me, "92% right and in is better than 100% right and never submitted."
