Jaeluni Asjil posted:Banksy Crayon Boy: Quite serious as I never learned that nursery rhyme and while I know it's a word I can't remember what it's a word for. In fact I can't remember any nursery rhymes off the top of my head, or almost anything about my childhood before age 16 which may be related. I might also have been confusing quince with quiche but glad I hit the right lexical continent by accident at least.

Ms Adequate posted:The issue for us is less in the amount and more in the fact that winning what we're due is always such a massive, stressful slog, there's a constant fear of being denied/having it taken away and having to fight for it, and it rolls back around every couple of years. Not that my experience is the only one out there of course, there's problems of all kinds, but a lot would be solved if the government's attitude wasn't "Anyone claiming disability/JSA is almost certainly a chancer and we will implement trial by ordeal". This. While people are worrying about assessments, having to reclaim, having to appeal and so forth, spurious suspension of money for being 5 mins late for an appointment etc, they're too mentally occupied with this rather than anything constructive. That constant nag at the back of your mind. Keep people worrying about the next meal, a roof over their heads, which school to choose for their kids, which doc or dentist to sign up with (if you can!), all these things that should be just simple and easy, because it is a waste of potentially creative, innovative, productive human brain power to have to worry about these things. But it also means they don't have the mental energy to do anything more than read a headline (which quite often bears little relation to the content) and a couple of sound bites.

Guavanaut posted:Quince is a fruit, puce is a colour, and quinsy is a Victorian disease that a friend of mine ended up getting because we are a Normal Country. That's not related though. i had a quinsy a couple of years back and i can definitely not recommend it, though it was pretty easy to treat once it was diagnosed. definitely a big fan of this nhs thing we have, good thing nobody's trying to dismantle it. gory details: basically it's a big sore pus-filled growth in your throat that makes it painful to talk and swallow, got a nice guy at the hospital to stick a needle in my mouth and extract a nice wad of black pus and give me a big dose of antibiotics and all was well. best bit was when my gp got excited at seeing such a rare condition and got his student to come in to gawp at it, then asked me some more questions so she could hear how stupid i sounded when i talked. happy to help educate and entertain

Angepain posted:ok i don't know what the precise limit to how much Posting About Graham Linehan the thread can take but i just wanted to share this wonderful clip where Graham complains about how Google is pushing the trans agenda by not promoting the three or so flawed studies that terfs trot out every time they need a sciencey-looking number, and instead showing studies that must be wrong because they show being trans is a thing, actually I don't know what I'm meant to be outraged about that just seems like every other Zoom call, wretched and depressing, but yo Linehams a Douglas Murray poster? Douglas Murray is legit the most interesting and meaningfully establishment influential person living today that is also a crypto-nazi, and that's me saying that cunts here call me a crypto-nazi well here's your actual real deal, this piece of poo poo needs more attention paid to him. I'm gonna effort-post about this charismatic oval office someday but as a general rule anyone who uncritically cites Murray is dogwhistling/is an actual fascist Lineham needs to crawl into a cave, Vitamin P fucked around with this message at 23:35 on Jun 23, 2020 |

Guavanaut posted:Rabbi Altmann and his secretary were sitting in a coffeehouse in Berlin in 1935. "Herr Altmann," said his secretary, "I notice you're reading Der Stürmer! I can't understand why. A Nazi libel sheet! Are you some kind of masochist, or, God forbid, a self-hating Jew?" the important part is the far right do literally believe this and it's "blackpilling" the gently caress out of them. i saw an irish skinhead on youtube saying he was going to move into the woods like a byelorussian partizan and a tonne of groypers changing their frog avs to nazbol flags. i guess those infuriatingly online twitch debate bros are winning the economic argument at least and there's plenty of ways to deprogram regular old vanilla racists (as many former skins will confirm). breadtube existing and going from strength to strength right in the heart of the viper's pit doesnt hurt either. we'll never reach the "orwell would have words for antifa!" or "mohammed statues" type ultra-cretins but the icy grip of father time around their sagging old throats will. we're doing it lads.
