In a way Boris should be thrilled. He always fantasised about being Churchill, now here's his big crisis. He could even do what Churchill did and make everyone forget all his garbage by pulling us through this disaster with strong leadership, forcing through major economic and public health provisions to minimise fatalities and provide security. But no, of course he only ever liked the idea of being this great statesman, he never actually wanted the responsibilities that go along with it, so he's going to hide away and do gently caress all and probably go down as the single worst PM Britain has ever had. So that's cool.

Is there any indication that they'll be closing shops or does this continue to just be a suggestion rather than anything concrete? My connection keeps farting out on the livestream

One of the many things that they may or may not do.

Surely the economic hit would be less to just shut down the country for a month and then introduce stringent testing.

HorseLord posted:

"Asexual" is people with no sex drive trying to interpret that in the pre existing framework we use to discuss homosexuality or bisexuality. They're trying to do this because they have no other framework to think about it with. It's basically like how in the middle ages people thought that heat and cold are substances.

It is a stupid an inappropriate thing to do, and you're right to roll your eyes at it, but society is not ready to have this conversation because it's trapped in the idea that stonewall is the start of history and everything needs a stripe flag made for it.

A ban seems a little overkill for that tbh, though I didn't read any of the context. Sounds like an interesting discussion to have, and the post doesn't seem overly abusive or anything.

what keeps happening to my clothes
Just been on the phone with my brother, a friend of his says her uncle's seen a screenshot of a whatsapp conversation sharing a photocopy of a leaked memo summarising an account of the minutes of a board meeting discussing advice from the UK Medical Treatment office recommending the supression in all media of the newly discovered wonder cure, listed as a combination of orange oil and cocoa solids, for fear of it disrupting their planned cull of the surplus population. If you see anything in stores that contains these two ingredients be sure to buy as many as you can. Scarf them down there in the shop. Force feed them to your grandma

I work for a group that does injection moulded plastic parts and I feel I should suggest we try to quickly design a ventilator and it get to production ASAP but we also have zero electrical engineers and also are unlikely to have the liability insurance for medical devices. Currently we just mainly do toilets, lol.

"When I was a girl, around 12 or 13, I had a fantasy that I'd grow up to marry Captain Scarlet, but he'd be busy fighting the Mysterons so I'd cuckold him with the sexiest people I could think of - Nigel Mansell, Pat Sharp and Mr. Blobby."

I don't think daily press conferences of "Wash your hands and try to work from home. No we aren't organising any support at all or taking any direct action." will go down like they hoped.

It's a weird one but I think the context is people absolutely denying that asexuality exists as an identity. Hence his post about how it's just someone with a very low sex drive. Which somehow means they can't be part of a space to discuss it, they just have to be confused and lonely forever.

It's a weird attempt at gatekeeping.

I don't think it's that it's an especially bad take, it's in line with the Marxist Gay Libbers like Red Butterfly who were of the "everyone is naturally bi or pan or something, but then the loving straights came along and made the thesis 'everything except 100% straight is disgusting' so we have to make the antithesis 'gently caress you I'm 100% gay' until we can get to the synthesis of free love" view.

That said, it probably doesn't belong in The Something Awful Forums > The Finer Arts > TV IV > She-Ra and the Princesses of Power: For the Honor of Gayskull. Sir, this is a McDonald's and all that.

So ignoring the fact that we're deliberately not actually testing much of anyone wouldnt the fact that yesterday had fewer new cases in the uk than the day before mean we're pretty much through the worst of this now? Bit of a fuss about nothing really.
