Chuff McNothing posted:cannot emphasize this enough. If you want to learn something, anything, the best way is to do it. Think of something you'd enjoy achieving, and the process of working out how to achieve it will be so much more valuable to you than any amount of teaching. I tend to find any directed tutorials just wash over me because there's no drive to actual discover something. I don't remember anything that's taught. Absolutely agree even if you're not looking to make it into a profession - it's great fun to work out how to automate silly little things or build your own custom little tool. At the moment I'm seriously considering just writing my own podcast app for my phone because they literally all miss at least one absolutely essential feature. I've literally no experience in mobile apps but like you say the amount of scaffolding available out there is ridiculous and even if the whole thing ends up being made of copy/pasted code from stackoverflow you still get the pleasure of working out what goes where, and iyou still get the sense of achievement the first time it works. I'd compare it to cooking for yourself or DIY. You may not end up with a result that is as good as what you can just go out and buy off the shelf, but it'll be *your* thing you end up with.

Grey Hunter posted:I wonder if the headliners "no deals with Labour" actually match up to what the common lib dem voter wants. I would be funny if their actually to far right for most of their supporters. Suspect you're right, at least to some extent. Lib Dems have always had a reputation quite a bit left of the actual party leadership, and I'm not sure how many people took the coalition's lesson to be "LDs are right wing", especially now that it's a few years ago and they've managed to make Remain such a central issue. But now that the rubber's hitting the road I think quite a few of the single-issue Remain voters are seeing that Corbyn is their only real bet and want the LDs to cooperate towards that goal. Standing in constituencies they have no hope of winning but might deliver to the tories, and empowering an absolutely guaranteed hard Brexit, doesn't seem like a winning strategy. And I have anecdotally seen plenty of their people mad as hell about the chart nonsense, lol. Thinking Jo may well have huffed her own farts and is now genuinely convinced that 326 seats for the Liberal Democrats is entirely plausible.

It is amazing how much the smaller parties are loving it. I know a lot of greens who've switched to labour because they are furious at the idea of working with the Lib Dems, and a few Welsh Lib Dems who are angry at the idea of working with Plaid because they are staunch unionists. It's great stuff lads.

I had a prophetic dream last night where Labour won 370 seats, which I consider to be a more reliable data point than most polls.

It's like when the Centrists all thirstily leapt on the Cuk-tigs and hailed them as the Party that would Break the Mould of Uk politics until the Cuks actually started believing it and we know how that one turned out.

Bear in mind too that most of the Lib Dems' target seats are Tory. It's not too surprising their leadership are very publicly on the Never Corbyn bandwagon given that; their behaviour after the election may differ. (or, of course,. it may not  )

It really is interesting to watch, it's as if the headline comes first and then reality has to be altered to fit it. Right up until it doesn't and then you proclaim that you never believed it in the first place and it was rank foolishness for anyone to etc etc.

Hi folks! Message from the Praxiscast here! One of the topics we have lined up to cover during this election period is intersectionality and trans rights. As a trans woman myself it's a really important subject and I want to make sure we do it properly. With that in mind I want to make sure other perspectives of these issues get presented as well as my own. Therefore if there any trans men, nonbinary people or BAME people who are interested in having a chat around these topics then please can you please get in touch with me either here or on Discord? Just to be clear, this would be a collaborative effort where we come up with content together. I want to make sure you have the space to talk about the issues that matter to you

I just chucked a tenner on a 100 seat Labour majority lol. Probably not going to happen but I got better than 50/1 on it and it could happen given how much of a crapshoot this election is going to be. E: when do you usually hear back with a confirmation for postal voting? I applied a week ago but haven't heard anything and don't want to find it didn't go through when it's too late.

And that's why you made all that money, isn't it? To prove that you're better than the little people, and to earn the right to poo poo on them for the rest of your life. Wouldn't it be grand if society still explicitly worked that way? Vote Tory!

In keeping with my favourite pasttime of quoting apposite Propagandhi lyrics rather than having independent thoughts - one of their favourite lyrics of mine is "Do what you feel you must/But as for me, I was not put upon this Earth/To subjugate or serve". It's my favourite formulation of a fairly simple idea, and it resonates in my mind all the time, especially in the aforementioned sort of situations, or when I have to give people instructions as a function of my job.

Solomon calls ants good comrades, because they're leaderless but still work hard as a team. It's good and right that they didn't build monarchist nonsense like pyramids. (But bad that he lounged around with his thousand wives writing about ants instead of taking a cue from that).
