Sure but like, the claim of being an upstanding member of the labour party cruelly ousted by the tyrannical leadership falls a bit flat when nobody would believe you'd be a party member normally.

Also fundamentally I don't think you're gonna win, or do anything useful, unless you can convince people that things need to change. So the idea that the UK is full of reactionary twats isn't saying much, we know that, they just voted for the tories. The point of politics is to convince people that things can, should, and need, to change. And I don't think anyone's gonna be convinced by saying "ok we'll do some rights but not others" or "let's spend a little bit more but not fix any problems in the long run." If you're starting from the premise that labour has the abiltiy to change people's minds about things in order to legitimize their basis for being in government then why just go chasing what people already think?

OwlFancier posted:The entire idea that the army would not notice a dead guy on the base for 3 weeks is farcical as is, they're clearly hiding something and that's as likely as anything. I'd been assuming he was murdered probably by some officer or something. Or some toff's son or something. goddamnedtwisto posted:It almost doesn't matter how he died - that he was left undiscovered for three weeks pretty much removes any benefit of the doubt you'd be willing to give, because that's a level of incompetence that is indistinguishable from malice. Yeah the idea that the Army could just loving lose someone for three loving weeks is absolutely buckwild. A squaddie gets back from the pissup three hours late and he'll be getting the bollocking of a lifetime. A decorated soldier working in loving SIGINT? He wasn't even due to transfer to Dennison for another week. The army's apparent belief that we will believe they just went "This lad's not shown up for duty but he's probably just gone to Dennison ahead of schedule without orders from us or so much as a by-your-leave" is blowing my mind lmao. And then his next deployment never called anyone up to say "Oi where's he at he was supposed to be here bright eyed and bushy tailed at 0700 sharp"?? I'd almost rather it's malice than incompetence because the degree of incompetence needed for this to be down solely to innocent fuckups implies a level of martial prowess somewhere around a blancmange.

Apologies if this has been discussed at length, but what the gently caress is the deal with Graham Linehan? I've seen it referenced a lot, but I've just been looking at how all in he's gotten with the Transphobia. It's literally all he talks about, and seems to spend every waking minute on Twitter. He's clearly totally addicted. Extremely damaged guy

Some people when they hit their middle years, their great achievements behind them, they spend their TV millions on a sports car or something and peacefully wrap it round a tree three months later like a normal person. Glinner just decided to go real hard on the idea of pop biology as the absolute basis of masculinity/femininity that definitely doesn't have any overlap with his recent bollock surgery.

He has that special kind of transphobia that lies at the intersection of I loving LOVE SCIENCE, faux-progressiveness, and a deeply repressed need for an Other to attack. He'd spent a lot of time cultivating a self-image of nerd-cred and I'm sure he absolutely loved the positive reinforcement he got from both the Mumsnet crowd and the fedoras when he first started down the "gender-critical" route, and I think the Hbomb stream is what actually broke him because he realised how completely disconnected he actually was from the younger generation and now all he can do is keep digging. I think hbomberguy himself said it at some point - something along the lines of "you had an out, you could have just pretended it wasn't happening, but every time you posted another grand got donated".

Also he did a thing on Mumsnet or something & suddenly had legions of adoring TERF fans telling him how wonderful he was (whilst everyone else rightly called him a oval office) & he lapped that poo poo right up & decided to become the saviour of womankind *(offer not applicable to certain subcategories of woman) Glinner isn't a TERF though. He's a FART. e:f;b. Also he's only got one ball (whereabouts of the other unconfirmed) & apparently has a bit of a complex about it. I think there was an article or Twitter thread (lmao@AD2020, those 2 things are exactly as authoritative) about it? Borrovan fucked around with this message at 21:49 on Feb 11, 2020 |

Eh. Judging from stuff I heard and saw in the Swiss army (granted, completely something else), nearly no amount of incompetence of a military force will astonish me. There are rumors about instances of having tanks and artillery misplaced till the farmer called to ask when he’d get the space in his barn back. They used to more or less routinely shell some Italian alps cause they shot over the mountain. Same for invasions of France or Liechtenstein, probably Italy and France too. This huge green line on the map, you think that’s important? (Germany less because the border is nearly all in the Rhine). One I know personally: a friend went into the yearly service a week late cause he had the wrong date marked. You always get told that the military police will come to get you in cases like this. We always assumed you’d at least get called. But they didn’t manage that for a week and it only came out cause one of the other soldiers called to ask if he’d come for a loving reunion. Add complete fuckups like the British army the Kuwait campaign or Iraq.

I definitely buy the theory that all of this is 99% a reaction to his bollock surgery lol. Which sure, that can be a hard thing for some people to deal with, but like, you can't even call this a meltdown, this is tectonic activity forming an entire mountain range out of your issues. New continents are being birthed entirely filled with graham linehan's bollock neurosis. This is the creation myth, glinner descended from the heavens and cast his bollock unto the formless waters and thus was the domain of the earth formed.

jaete posted:What up fellow overpaid computer wanker buddy  A bit of both. I'd dabbled with some software development as a hobbyist on and off over the years, then applied it in practice automating a bunch of stuff at work that was wasting my time. Once I'd decided to make the jump, I then went with one of the more reputable bootcamps to make sure I was bit more professional and to check I enjoyed doing it full time. I'd say my previous experience was a big help in making sure I got the most out of the bootcamp (I did not envy those who tackled it with zero experience), but the course was very good at immersing you in small software development teams, teaching practical software development skills, and giving you the confidence to self-learn and put yourself out there. Also very good at helping you build a portfolio and rounding up potential employers who have realistic expectations.

I don't even know what you guys were talking about and I can't be assed scrolling back but as someone who was in an army, I can 100% believe a squaddie goes missing for 3 days and nobody notices. Especially when you get to those ranks where you get a bunch of leeway. I'm pretty sure my captain just vanished for 2 days at some point without telling any officers and his 2nd covered for him. Nobody talked about it. I also saw 2 officers go out drinking on a weekday, come back at 2am and decide to drill the on-duty squad (the absolute fuckers). You know how incompetent everyone and every single company is? Once you get out of basic training, the army's worse.

Seriously though, as much as I buy “it’s actually super easy to get away with being an absent jack bastard” as viable, three weeks is way too much. Especially when you consider the guy had a Traveller background, there’s no way there wasn’t a poo poo in a higher position than him that would have relished beasting him over an absence of a day never mind three weeks.
