Look if we start saying people can't broadcast their opinions just because they're completely demonstrably wrong and morally abhorrent, what would that mean for the hard working opinion columnists?

Calling out my constant, obviously hollow appeals to authority is a  CONSPIRACY THEORY and probably an antisemitic one at thathttps://twitter.com/francesweetman/status/1282597823599595521?s=20

So if, for example, someone studied a STEM subject with modules in ethics (killing people is generally bad even if your boss says it saves money) and rights management (how to navigate patents) they could claim to have studied philosophy, law, and engineering under WeetRules?

No. They could say they got a degree with a specialism in those things.

Still thinking of your bachelor's degree as your personal zenith and also a licence to win arguments a decade odd after graduating is indicative of something being quite wrong imo. I mean surely the biggest lessons you learn from higher education are that it's really just a starting point for you to build upon and that qualifications in themselves don't really mean that much

Honestly this is why I find her so fascinating. More than almost anyone else on Twitter, she's so consistently wrong and so nakedly full of poo poo despite her constantly adopting an air of dismissive smugness. But surely she can see how ridiculous her mental gymnastics look? Something just feels off about it all, like this level of cognitive dissonance should be unsustainable in a normal human. It feels like there's a punchline I'm not getting. I'm almost expecting a bunch of bored leftists to reveal she started as a parody account but they kept her going after horny centrist dads started sending  and they realised they'd stumbled on a solid grift.

It's a government with zero vision for what reorganising the economy along any particular lines would look like, so they're just trying to pile up the sticks in roughly the same position they were in before the virus happened in the hopes that that will fix it.

Also if everyone stops working in the office the london property market collapses. Also started my grad job during corona and therefore didn't have to give my qualifications to HR on my first day, so they'll probably never ask for those when I go back.

I wonder if theyr still doing herd immunity, when that was the plan they talked about how as well as locking down when it got too much they'd have to work to infect people with the virus when it was too low in the population and they'd do that by opening schools etc. I suppose with the idea that you can come out the other side faster and with a competitive advantage compared to like Europe. Then in natural tory fashion the evil plan doesnt even do the right kind of evil and we're just gonna be dealing with this longer than anyone. Not sure if that's right, either way the govs actions can't be differentiated from intentionally spreading the virus

You could come out the other side with 5-10% of your workforce semi-permanently disabled in some fashion. Honestly it's not really possible to distinguish any more the malice from the incompetence.

If you want to vent your hatred of capitalism vicariously, I can recommend "Assault on Wall Street" which is on My 5 at the moment. Regular guy working as a security officer with sick wife in US - his medical insurance has a cap which is exceeded, then basically everything goes wrong financially and he gets a bit annoyed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Y-NqShTj5w I'm a peacenik, honest guv.

Those run it hot, but there's gotta be a core reason to believe london property has value before you can flog those to people - that being londons central economic positions and therefore accommodation demand. Too many people start asking questions about "do we need to commute to the office anyways?" And that collapses.

I'm never really that surprised by Tweetman's stuff. It seems to me that where a misconception is tied up in some way with a person's identity, rather than scrutinise it they are much more likely to keep doubling down forever until they are inhabiting a reality that is completely warped and will only tolerate the company of people who don't question them about it Communist Thoughts posted:I wonder if theyr still doing herd immunity, when that was the plan they talked about how as well as locking down when it got too much they'd have to work to infect people with the virus when it was too low in the population and they'd do that by opening schools etc. I've suspected from the get go that they want to use this to cull the elderly to mitigate the looming demographic crisis but as Saros says we have very little idea at the moment what the long-term health impact of covid will be

feedmegin posted:I've had employers ask to see my 2:2 in History, for a tech job, 20 years after graduating Years ago, my boss recruited a guy on the grounds that he had several degrees. When I became HoD, I checked the cvs as the guy was absolutely terrible (and whose mistakes were not only just bad, but had potentially fatal results as we were a fire alarm company), and on his CV he listed these several degrees. Every single one turned out to be starting the first year of an Open University or other distance learning uni. He had never made it past the first year of any of them. While I have every admiration for those who do complete studies while working full time - even just a GCSE or A-level - to list as 'degrees held' several failed first year courses was just basically lying.
