Barry Foster posted:Get a hit of that sweet, sweet internet dopamine, didja? Yeah, it's the worldwide nature of it - slapping someone around here (or even on Facebook) doesn't end up with a hundred people, most of whom I've never met/interacted with, hitting a little Skinner Box button for me. Or possibly it does and this is just the first time in my two decades of posting that I've actually done something people like.

I just think he might try to suck Lib Dem dick for the next 5 years and throw himself into an LD marginal somewhere come 2024 with a media fanfare about the radical centrist who wouldn't quit.

He'll pop up in the spring like a daffodil in charge of a dark-money think tank with a name like The Institute For Societal Progress, explaining how actually fossil fuels companies are the only ones who can save us from global warming.

Ways to annoy my dad number 28: complain about the BBC "I think you should consider very carefully before saying the BBC should be more tightly controlled by the government" "That's not what I'm saying dad, I just think supposedly independent journalists should have to explain themselves.... possibly in front of some kind of truth and reconciliation commission". He sighed and shook his head and my mum said ooh where do you get all this from and my dad said it's that stupid website he told us about, what is it you all call yourselves on there? "Comrades, dad. We call ourselves comrades". Like shooting fish in a barrel, honestly. Sanford fucked around with this message at 17:37 on Dec 3, 2019 |

Bobby Deluxe posted:It's so loving good. I know I keep banging on about it but I currently am a victim of the hostile environment. I can't handle the assessment process, so am registered self employed so they'll leave me alone with zero income. Thankfully German and Japanese perverts occasionally buy smut regularly enough that HMRC see it as legit self employment that i'm just bad at. I've read the document and it doesn't say anything about removing back-to-work targets. It also says that they plan to bring assessments back in house, which means it will still be a case of proving to a bureaucrat that you deserve to exist.

The media should be completely unaccountable so long as it lampshades the fact that it's entertainment media by spiralling ever deeper into absurd excuses for televised pro wrestling matches between the subjects of its reports.

Chucka is definitely invited to Davos to give some inane keynote on "liberal progress through open trade" or some trash like that. Maybe a panel on "populism".

I grew up in the states but I’ve lived in Europe and now live in Canada. Anyone who argues for that sort of policy is evil, flat out. 1 in 4 Americans has foregone medical treatment because they were worried about the cost (and imagine that ratio once you take out all the people above a certain wealth threshold). When I was younger (now 30s for reference) we would get threatening letters in the mail about subscribing to the ambulance service so that we wouldn’t be charged hundreds or thousands in the case of an emergency. One Ohio town recently suggested stopping emergency services to any household who’d already called in one drug overdose. Health is a human right.
