Ratjaculation posted:I've also got no idea what you're talking about with Orange if the New Black, have you got a classic Simpsons equivilant reference? Orange is the new black is very apt. I can't think of a Simpsons reference but it's basically the story of how a white lady gets involved with drug trafficking during her salad days, and then settles down to become a lawyer and get married. The cops bust the trafficking ring and she has to explain to her nice husband and respectable friends that she's going to prison. The novel, at least, makes these really jarring changes which show absolutely no awareness of her own privilege. A bit like going from "Marcus sent me another care package with some more pairs of my favourite DKNY underwear" to "Chantelle, who took me under her wing, was a former prostitute from downtown Baltimore and serving a life sentence for killing her pimp" in the same paragraph.

Alexei Leonov, first man to do a spacewalk, has died aged 85. Never forget the myriad ways the USSR outpaced the US on space age innovation.

Rarity posted:I think you are. XR is a middle-class liberal protest movement which much like the FBPE crowd was born from people who have never had to stakeout a political identity before. They've been brought up believing the world works for them because until the world has worked for them. They're still in the middle of processing the state won't always go their way and they don't know how to react to that yet. But they've grown up in a world where asking nicely and being respectful is all you need to do to get what you want so that's what they're going with. However their tactics are highly dangerous for rank and file members, especially those of working class and BAME backgrounds which is something they have zero acknowledgement for. As I said in the podcast there are some positives about what XR have achieved but at the end of the day the fact that you're putting your own people at risk of losing their jobs, their finances and their lives is at best ignorance and at worst active callousness. I despise the middle class liberal intelligentsia and their insipid creative-writing-as-reality-but-also-futurism? worldview more than most here, and you are absolutely correct that XR has that middle-classness deep in it's core with everything that implies, but you are reaching like crazy from that. Biggest thing is you say XRs tactics are dangerous to more vulnerable people and the sacrifices those people make aren't acknowledged, that is the opposite of the actual material truth. XR makes a binary distinction between those supporters that want to stay within the law and those that are willing to break the law and be arrested, both groups are taught exactly what the bounds are and both groups are supported and appreciated. I've been through that little talk in one of their tents and you are either lying or uninformed with your point there. And like, the second referendum movement is obviously middle-class as gently caress just like the no-deal movement is actually middle-class as gently caress, the anti-Iraq war movement was middle-class as gently caress, the suffragettes were middle-class as gently caress, the anti-PFI organising was middle-class as gently caress, loving Marx as he lived was middle-class as gently caress. There is obviously a thing that people who engage with working class people but also have enough material security that they have time to learn about and organise around particular issues do actually do things, you can whinge about that, I certainly do I'm full on dictatorship of the proletariat even if that proletariat is problematic, but gently caress off pretending the meaningful climate movement when/if it finally comes won't almost certainly begin being middle-class as gently caress. And if you don't think XR are doing well then presumably you're organising the better version eh. Edit: "believing the world works for them because until the world has worked for them" gently caress off with that bollocks, the leadership maybe, but the actual XR lumpen peeps on the street? You're talking bollocks and smearing precariat as posh libs. Vitamin P fucked around with this message at 23:03 on Oct 11, 2019 |

Whatever the worst you might assume about Nick Robinson is, assume it's true, that axiom has always held. oval office still hasn't released if he has money invested in private healthcare companies, he was asked it directly on air and promised he would disclose it, that was loving years ago but not a peep. Dishonest little student-tory lizardman.

If its been doing that a while it's probly not gonna fix itself you can run through this if you feel like it! https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/10164/fix-windows-update-errors it's a bunch of increasingly involved steps to fix the files or whatever. Probably worth at least going as far as the DISM bit if you need to, after that it's upgrades and reinstalls which eh but that's up to you

This is a common gotcha but he really wasn't, he was destitute as gently caress most of his life and relied on handouts from Engels. He lived in a hovel and ended up thrown out by the landlord several times. There's a reason he wrote capital in the British museum.

Right but 'handouts from Engels' went a long way and yes it's why I said 'lived as' rather than 'was'. You cropped that bit out of a bigger post though and not to attack the UKMT caricature but would appreciate your take on the point rather than Marx as man.

Number of different company hardware combinations of Macs: 1 Number of different company hardware combinations of Windows: Kerbillions. Windows has to cater to every different way a hardware component has to be, so its startup can be a bit longer yeah.

I'm sure you can guess E: this offensive is very controversial now let's go to Turkey where a baby has been exploded by a rocket and everyone is very mad at those separatist kurds nah we won't mention the same thing happening x100 the other way round. Obviously it's poo poo when a kid gets killed but there was a very obvious 'Turkey the legitimate state vs.  scary separatist rebels ' vibe to the report, as if the Kurds were the loving aggressors

Of course he has, this is why I really don't get why he's trying for this deal nonsense, if he just wants to blame the EU why try for this terrible arrangement. I get that's why he was trying to hide it but it has to come out at some point and when it does the brexit party are going to go in guns blazing against him.
