D&D mod Party Plane Jones was active on Nazi discords as ‘Jones’ (yes, everyone there knew who he was, even the fash aren’t that stupid). Passed on the odd nugget of information to the rest of the moderation team when a permabanned Nazi re-regged, and claimed to them that he was lurking undercover on these discords as an intelligence asset while severely downplaying the degree to which he was active and participating in racist poo poo. This all came out in bits and pieces, and the mod team initially assumed that a Nazi from one of the discords was outing one of their informants to stir poo poo (this was partly but not entirely true), so they reacted with a wave of big probations and locked and gassed threads. When the full truth came out, of course, everyone was very embarrassed, and PPJ permabanned himself - but not before also pernsbanning one of the Nazis who’d revealed how deep his involvement went.

Well Harry and Meghan blowing up the Monarchy will be the Brexit distraction of the time, Corbyn's gone so I guess the press needs someone else to point all its fury at, LBC this morning was wall to wall callers crying about the destruction of the monarchy, how could they do this to the Queen etc.

Playing telephone like this isn’t really what this thread is for. However, no, I did not tell her about it, at least not as an origin point. It apparently came up because of Nazis trying to doxx KM, as they like to do.

There’s a whole thread in CSPAM you can go post about this in, and I have even posted there!

Love to see the British press going like "Harry the bachelor was such a fun guy with strippers and Nazi outfits, but now that he seems to have become an adult with a (funny-tinged) wife and is interested in climate change he sucks".

Yeah I've seen that before and not fully understood it. Might it not be worth "spending" a bit of extra carbon on a paper bag, to avoid ending up with a plastic bag that never goes away ever?

And glass bottles being heavy is only as carbony as the transport method used - and taking them back to the shop to be refilled (as in Germany) seems better than either smashing them to pieces first, or again having plastic ones that are around forever in some form.

But as with all things, it's probably more complicated than that :smith:

In environmentalism as in everything, everything is compromise, and figuring out what the least compromising available option is is almost impossible.

Sorry :(

I vaguely remember when I was younger getting some books from a series I think called the well of echoes, some fantasy thing that seemed interesting except for the fact that the books kept going off onto really weird sex tangents like where this dude has a super hard on for a hypersensitive nymph girl or something that can't wear clothes, and also there's... lion men or something, and I think they bang too, and I vaguely remember there being breeding factories which are basically brothels for producing children...

Like the actualy fantasy parts were interesting but I stopped reading because the author kept taking time out every chapter to have a big weird wank.

Voting reform is a BIG area in which we need to be more progressive solely in order to unfuck the future even if it hurtsd us in the short term, and it's always been something I was sceptical of Corbyn on, so keeping it in the conversation is pretty vital, but I'm not going to vote for it as a single-issue hot-button because single-issue voting is dumb and how you get Brexit.

Surely if there's anything worth being a single issue voter over it's the system by which we vote, because that changes everything about being able to be a multi-issue voter.

But in FPTP that means getting one of the big two parties to commit to voting reform.

Honestly I'd prefer to have a leftist who doesn't want voting reform than a centrist who does, partly because the centrist will drag the party and the overton window back rightwards which I don't think we can afford, and partly because I wouldn't trust the centrist to actually follow through on their promise.
