think my neighbours are building up to one of those disputes where someone gets stabbed with a pair of hedge trimmers what I've gathered from their recurring shouting matches is that one of them is unhappy about the other building a shed of some sort, and the other is unhappy about them looking in their garden (and possibly taking pictures?) and both of them would like to hit each other and/or get the police involved

I've no idea if it's good parenting or bad but one of my neighbours has just shouted at her kid "If you keep that up the coronavirus will get you!".

Shogi posted:That quest for ‘meaning’, personal or otherwise, is itself hopeful, and realistic hope is part of psychological health. Becoming comfortable with your self and finding a unity between your thoughts, values and actions requires hope. Well you're not nearly grim enough for Pohjola. Ain't no winning the fight against injustice or the indignities of life. And I ain't winning the fight... against my disease, against myself being lovely, against the world being lovely... But the thing is, even once you've accepted that, it turns out you might still find yourself alive, and accepting you're just one more sorry sack of poo poo among a species composed of nothing but doesn't mean you stop being a sorry sack of poo poo. Turns out hope is just a cruel lie that sets you up to hate yourself and others for expecting better. So, in the absence of hope, I decided to try to be the kind of person where I could look back on my actions, ask "could I have done better?" and answer "no". I failed. Obviously. But turns out I found some contentment in the fact that I at least tried my best to not be lovely. You can't fix the world. But you can try to be someone you like being. Will you succeed? I wouldn't get my hopes up.

happyhippy posted:Technically the UK is 4 countries, but still, thats loving stupidly high. The number of countries doesn't matter, the population of them does. Italy and France each have broadly the same population as the UK, Spain has about 2/3 the population. So we are ahead by like...about 2 and 2/3 in terms of per capita deaths. One of the things that has really frustrated me throughout this crisis is the insistence on reporting absolute numbers like they're relevant when what's relevant is cases per capita.

It's just that our downward slope is very shallow, and our peak was very high, so we're going to be seeing hundreds of deaths a day for a very long time.

endlessmonotony posted:Well you're not nearly grim enough for Pohjola. Without Pohjola there'd be no adventure and no black canvas for the stars; the grimness is integral to the beauty! I'm with you on the cut and thrust of what you're saying - I don't think our views are that different really. At the risk of sounding like an even bigger wanker than I already do, Albert Camus is good on this subject. Absurdism says that even if you know that life is lovely and meaningless, it's better to live as though it isn't. If you're trying in earnest and reflecting on your actions, you're not failing.

Bloodly posted:Without a way to properly challenge the various businesses that hold a grip on the offices of power(Power supplies, manufacturing, computing, industries, etc) would a 'revolution' aid much in itself? How do you deal with that aspect of the problem? The wealthy/powerful are so very enmeshed with each other that I'm not sure simply changing the leadership even outright to someone unconnected like the Green Party or some such would be enough without dealing with all the lobbies and such too. All good revolutions have ideas for dealing with the wealthy and powerful, however enmeshed with each other they are.

A new TV series called Upload is on Amazon Prime. In it a computer programmer dies and has his mind uploaded to a virtual afterlife. He discovers that is a tiered system which is built around Premium transactions and packages. When he explains that this is all bullshit because it is just 1's and 0's he is told "this is capitalism." He vows to destroy the system and build a better one. Only four episodes in, but it seems pretty good.

XMNN posted:https://twitter.com/SmallStonesTall/status/1256603917707874304?s=20 yeah the guidance has always been "work from home unless you can't 🤷♀️", they don't give a gently caress the lockdown was never serious anyway so it's not really surprising, feels like it's more about the appearance of doing something. Plus with the bonus that a lot of people have been having social contact and getting infected (herd immunity LEVEL UP) and they've established a baseline for the  lockdown infection rates, so they can lift it and the non-lockdown rates might not even change much. Wow turns out we don't need a lockdown anymore because that kind of thing doesn't make a difference!

Songbearer posted:5 is a stern looking number with a soft side. You got the curve at the bottom which is the classic sign of a Friendly Number but then it terminates in a straight line at the top just as you're getting to know it. I'm sorry, I really must object. What kind of swivel-eyed looney assesses the characteristics of a number from the bottom up? Your analysis beyond this isn't even wrong, it's just that 5 initially appears standoffish, but once you get to know them you realize they're actually quite sweet, they just reserve that sweetness for their friends. Which of course makes us wonder, is 5 like this by nature? Or did something happen that hardened 5's heart, made them put up some defenses against the cruel world?

If the off-licence in town has closed for the duration, where's the best place to order some more unusual beers? I can get Delirium Tremens (the beer, not the beer consequence) off Amazon, but I'm on the lookout for better options than Jeff Bezos to keep my Belgian tripel stockpile up.
