goddamnedtwisto posted:I'm not sure if it's the origin of it, but in England taking your hat off when you entered church was supposedly you showing that you weren't hiding from God, compared to the other Abrahammic religions (and indeed many Christian sects) that actually want you to wear a hat, presumably because God is sick of looking at bald spots. Yarmulkes are woren, afaik, in order to remind you that there's always somebody above you (god, not your boss).

980 deaths today. can't be long before we break 1000. maybe the bbc and the rest of the press will treat it seriously then but lol of course they won't i go back to my stance that a high profile journalist needs to die from it before they start actually realising they might die and actually report on it properly

They don't want to blame their good chums in Westminster, do they? Can't be them, they throw such lovely parties. And it can't be the fault of all those companies staying open and forcing their staff to come to work, some of them even took a pay cut from 300x what their workers are paid to a measly 299x, what else could they be expected to do? No, it must be "those people", with their extravagant lifestyles, leaving the house for purposes other than making NUMBER GO UP, that are the problem. Countdown to the rollout of an app to let people grass up their neighbours for buying Easter eggs starts now.

I'm finding balancing that hard. Cos yeah it's hard not to think of the outside like a river with silt in it right now and everyone moving through that just churns it up and puts people at risk. But at the same time small places are making GBS threads themselves about losing their businesses. The little brewery started doing that delivery to the neighbourhood and it's just the two guys. We ordered a box of beers from them and there was a little note, saying "thanks for ordering this it helps keep us going", same with the little pizza place, they're not a chain and it's like if noone orders their stuff right now they're out of a job. I honestly don't know whats best to do

And lo, there was a gnashing and a wailing of teeth... mine. Anti-Corbyn post on FB. Someone has posted a series of photos of Corbyn as a tribute on his last day in office. They're taken over time (and reverse google shows that). People sharing it claiming this is what Corbyn was doing in March (totally breaking separation by hugging people, having selfies with them and so on) so stop criticizing Johnson.

It's ultimately irrelevant though because as the number is never contrasted with need. 480 million pieces of PPE is not enough if daily needs are 600 million and there's no loving use in 20 gloves if you're out of visors. Once again a lovely press that doesn't know how or doesn't want to ask questions gets led by the nose.

Guavanaut posted:He sees you through the hole in the roof that allows Him to enter and leave, I'm not joking. Did you even read the pdf you've linked to? It says Holy Spirit Holes are stage design features to allow for the introduction of live doves, rose petals, etc. at dramatic points in service at Pentecost, nothing to do with a special God entrance. This kind of 'religious theatre' has probably been going on since the Palaeolithic - there are subtle marks on the walls of passages leading to large painted chambers in some of the cave art sites to indicate resonance points where any noise you make will be amplified in the chamber for example. goddamnedtwisto posted:There's a rather more prosaic and practical reason for that - the man stands at the kerb side so if any passing traffic sprays up horse poo poo it hits him, not her. Now that's possibly/probably just as apocryphal as the sword thing, but I reckon horse poo poo was a lot more common than having a sword fight in most places in the world.

Isomermaid posted:I'm finding balancing that hard. Cos yeah it's hard not to think of the outside like a river with silt in it right now and everyone moving through that just churns it up and puts people at risk. here's the guidelines https://www.gov.uk/government/publi...can-and-cant-do quote:Stay at home so you are allowed to go out for food, and ordering a pizza is getting a hot meal. Deliveries are gonna happen, and they're important because not everyone will have access to decent food right now, for many reasons. So I wouldn't worry about getting a delivery, so long as you're careful about social distancing and cleanliness. As for going out for food, if you're as quick as possible and again with the social distancing/hygiene, that seems fine - delivery seems like it's better though, since it minimises the number of people going to a place Honestly I think we need two things - absolute clear guidelines on what is and isn't ok, so people aren't trapped inside because they're worried they're doing the wrong thing. This isn't helped by the police and local vigilantes giving people poo poo for doing stuff that's within the guidelines, or even encouraged. Hell, how about the police spend their time tackling that harrassment instead? Let people be as comfortable as possible, with the minimum disruption to their lives, and they're more likely to go along with it - an actual system put into place to help people adapt and manage - financial support (including for small businesses), organised deliveries, providing food and medicine. Get everyone into safe shelter. Focus on protecting vulnerable people. Organise some resources to help people stay at home, entertainment or advice on cooking, or things for parents to do with kids. Subsidise everyone's broadband and create some national "stay at home" online project that everyone can join in - there are people doing similar stuff on social media, but the BBC could organise a national resource that reflects what people are going through, and makes them feel unity and connection and like we're all part of an effort and we'll get through it, just to help with people's mental wellbeing ok three things - the government has to at least act like it has things under control, show that there's a plan, and keep everyone up to date with progress on e.g. when the testing is going to start. If people have confidence that smart and serious people are in charge, they're more likely to do what they're told - there's an element of trust. And that comes from things like specific rules and guidelines too

Originally Metropolitan Police officers were required to patrol on the edge of the pavement so they were as visible as possible. That's also why they had the big tit-head helmet (originally an even taller top-hat) and a minimum height requirement of 5'8" when the average height in London was a couple of inches shorter.
