TACD posted:Every time I log into Discord I get angry and confused because there are so many channels. Why does just the UK Goons Discord need like 20 different channels organised into three separate categories? It is the ancient way of Discord. None can understand it, and none can change it. The private channel between me and my bff has five channels. Our family channel (I'm an honorary sister  ) has twenty. I've never seen a disc with more than two people that doesn't have double-digit channel numbers.The Grauniad's piece is amazing lmao, they're so reluctant to endorse Jezza but they know he's the only game in town to stop Brexit.

So, er, are any of those who endorse Labour gonna address the fact that they've been calling it an institutionally antisemitic party? Are they now endorsing antisemitism or what's the deal memory hole?

goddamnedtwisto posted:Just to address this one point, there's a difference between being homeless (including "functionally homeless"), living in temporary accommodation, and rough sleeping, and only that last group don't live in homes. People trapped with their parents because they can't even afford a rental deposit let alone a mortgage, families with not enough bedrooms, and people sofa-surfing with friends are all still homeless, just obviously at varying degrees of priority for housing. Out of interest do the statistics distinguish those who are living with their parents by choice or necessity (i.e. carer or requiring care) from those who are trapped because they cannot afford to move out?

namesake posted:I'm extremely happy about another hung parliament and another election maybe in the middle of next year. I mean if it was possible to redo the election in time that would be phenomenal because it would annihilate the Lib Dems. OwlFancier posted:I don't know how else to feel, every aspect of this society is telling me that it isn't for me. I'm just here to work and prop up everyone else. I'm not here to be a part of it. And I'd feel less insulted if they weren't so loving patronizing about it. If they didn't pretend like it was otherwise. It's one enormous insult made up of a thousand mindless platitudes. I'd be useless at actually taking part in politics at most levels because I have no idea what the majority of people want. But unlike the Tories, I don't have the money to force my opinion on them regardless. After the election would anyone be interested in contributing an essay to a free collection to be put up on Amazon? I can edit, do a nice looking cover and format it for Kindle.

Bobby Deluxe posted:God yes. This is so true for me as well. The nearest I've felt to being able to contribute to society is selling Amazon smut, which some people seem to find enjoyable enough that I get a bit of money every month from it. I feel like I'd do better talking to people who are at least in a comparable position but the opportunities to do so are so few. What sort of essays are you wanting?

If somehow they get both Tories and Labour to switch to them, yet Sturdy (one of the reason for Brexit as one of the MPs who wrote to cameron and never saw a poor person he didn't want to oppress) remains MP, then it's definitely their fault for lying.

I can maybe do some driving from 6 till 10 on Thursday, if my baby goes to sleep early and my wife is feeling well enough for me to go out. I won’t know until the time. Is this an offer worth making to my clp or just an annoying thing to keep track of?
