Angepain posted:finally got a genuine Dodgy Bar Chart in the post, this is like the first robin of spring for election season I have a question about Scottish elections that's probably a bit offensive in some degree: Is it advantageous to Scottish candidates to have a Scottish name of some sort, be it a surname with a "Mc" in it or a forename using Scottish naming conventions like Alistair?

If the job interview studies are anything to go by, in certain parts I can imagine it's a large disadvantage to have an Irish surname.

So I went and looked it up and http://www.isthequeendead.co.uk is available. Just saying. Interestingly enough the .com version got bought by someone in the US in March  Pro-click, send to the appropriate 'journalists' on twitter when they start taking shots at Corbyn: https://twitter.com/Millar_Colin/status/1201581431371247616  E: Those Loughborough Lads are still at it too https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/general-election-british-media-labour-tories-bias-press-polls-a9229161.html RockyB fucked around with this message at 21:48 on Dec 2, 2019 |

Feel like their humour works better when it's "dumb Silicon Valley poo poo, underpinned with politics" rather than "here's us rehashing gags we heard on Chapo and Cum Town last week but in a UK context".

oh have we covered the split in Kirkcaldy and Cowdenbeath between a) the subset of independence supporters who feel like on balance one should probably not campaign for a SNP candidate that has been expelled from the party for antisemitism allegations and b) a bunch of lovely other folks including our dear friend Wings who decide everyone should vote for the dickhead regardless because they refuse to ever think about voting for a Green and he's a total transphobe so they liked him anyway so looking good for labour over there

I don't know if this is necessary, but I'd like to say something just in case it is. If he is berating you about these things then that can have a significant effect on your self-esteem and motivation. I speak as someone who was badly, badly hurt by my parents in this way. It's incredibly counter-productive, even if it's just an unspoken sense hanging over your relationship. I don't think it's your fault that you haven't held a consistent job any more than it is mine. You strike me as a creative, passionate person who has developed impressive skills* and is continuing to work hard at doing so. Just because no one is paying you for it doesn't mean that it's not worthwhile. In any case, art is criminally underpaid for all but the lucky few. I've rambled on before about how I think a person's passions are far more important then whatever mundane bollocks people want them to do for a living. The current economy is spectacularly awful for finding a job that doesn't grind you into dust, and having mental health issues as you have mentioned makes it even harder. Please don't be too hard on yourself. I think you're a very impressive person. Your art is important. * I was very impressed by your double-decker bus sketch. It was very simple, but it absolutely captured the idea of what a double-decker bus looks like, and your use of perspective was excellent. You have a serious talent, especially for composition. Don't let yourself forget that

Good folks to go canvassing with, had a mixed reception but a lot of people out (inevitably, given it was ten in the morning) I will still vote for him though, as the next most likely to get in is the Conservative candidate, and they're probably much worse. I don't want him to get a cabinet position though

He does seem to be doing a good job of driving away as many people from him as possible, at least, though that might just make his inner fanbase more rabid and convinced the world is plotting against them

This Panorama about Nonce Andrew is great, letting the poor abused woman tell her story and occasionally intercutting in clips of Andrew being a sweaty stammering lizard. Though BBC might just be doing it now to draw attention away from the other sweaty sexual badman in No. 10, who knows
