This is the problem with the left, they are ultimately left weak and powerless due to sexual dysfunction.

With the Labour manifesto out in just a couple of days I wonder if Corbyn's going to use tonight's debate to break a headline pledge. It would be a great way of stealing the headlines and neutering the spin for Johnson

I am watching DS9 through and in season 4 there's an episode where the workers at Quark's Bar form a union and go on strike. O'Brien talks about his 20th century ancestor who was murdered for leading a strike in coal mine country and Rom straight up quotes Karl Marx. It's fun even if you know the ending will be flat and liberal.

she'd scare the squirrels up into trees, and put nasty traps around the bottom. spikes, grinders, pits of burning oil, chomping jaws then she'd use her catapult with rubber ammo to knock them off the branches until they fell to their doom or so i've heard

Thought I’d update the thread with some positive news given the general nature of a lot of my previous posts. The middle part of this year has been pretty lovely overall. I got made redundant, found a new job, found out we were going to be parents, then suffered a miscarriage (which this thread was very supportive with), got a newer better job and promptly lost it because my new boss was a pearl clutching middle class conservative power tripper. My dad told me a position had become available at the engineering firm he worked at which I basically got the job the second I walked in for the interview. The salary was a bit less than what I was getting before, despite working more hours. Turns out this was actually very very deceptive. With this position I get a company van and fuel card, so my commuting costs are now zero. My car is now available for my other half to use, plus if we are successful in trying for another baby we don’t need to fork out for a second car. There is also the benefit of being a 10 minute drive away down the motorway with no Dartford Crossing to brave each day. Then it turns out there is a generous on call allowance, and no one else wants to be on call so I’m free to gobble all of it up. My colleagues are very happy to only have to cover my holiday and the odd couple of days here and there when we want to go out and do stuff. The overtime payments for responding to any call outs are also very generous. Since starting I’ve gotten a counterbalance forklift truck licence, and theres talk of first aider and fire marshall training if I want it. So after all that bullshit I’m actually earning almost as much as the job I was sacked from (possibly more depending on call outs) but with no commuting costs, no toll costs, no need for a second car when we have a baby, and a huge amount of freedom in where we choose to live because I don’t have to pay for my commute. My work colleagues are generally all very nice and don’t have the cliquey bullshit the last place did. The job itself is actually pretty chill and I'm basically the overlord of my own little kingdom. This was originally going to be something to tide me over until I found something better, but I’ve decided to stick with it for the long term. Its not the most intellectually engaging work but holds so many advantages for my future family I’d be foolish not to.

Let's see how the bbc report the Tory candidate getting axed for holocaust denial. https://twitter.com/bbclaurak/status/1196696208879865857?s=19 By burying it under a story about a labour guy quitting and blaming Corbyn.

That's awesome bud, really really happy you've landed on your feet. Is the implication there that you got sacked because you told your tory boss to gently caress off? Because that would be even better

Daily Pols running with Swinson kill squirrels story. They showed the lbc interview, and no actual denial. Mind you, no one has pointed out as a lib dem she would just smash next doors greenhouse, kill her cat, and end up with a shine after one of the rocks rebounds into her indignant mug. e: forkboy, just watch Garak and marvel.

CoolCab posted:I think it’s surprisingly less liberal than you might think. iirc quarks actor was the head of the actors union and both the cast and crew were pretty labour sympathetic. Yeah, it's pretty interesting given the Ferengi are basically a proxy for modern capitalism but the setting is run by what's a communist society in all but name. The Ferengi enforcers end up beating the poo poo out of Quark because they know he's the only one who won't press charges, while if they assaulted any of the workers the Federation and Bajor would come down on them like a ton of bricks. A later episode even has the same enforcers eventually blacklist Quark in Ferengi society and confiscate all his assets, leaving him with an empty bar stripped of furnishings, only for the whole station to pitch in to restock and resupply his bar to get it right back up and running under a paper-thin veneer of not being charity.

also I would argue that quark and ferengi started as a straight capitalists but ds9 pretty credibly argues they’re far more moral. no slavery, no holocaust, no nuclear weapons, no cigarettes.

Any NI people know which is the smarter vote between Alliance/SDLP in Belfast South against the DUP? I really don't follow local politics as much as I should, I think I'd rather vote Alliance but I'd go SDLP if they have a better chance of winning?
