I would be sad to lose 6Music and who the gently caress else is going to pay for Jonathan Meades to for a four part series on the architectural legacy of 20th century European dictators.

Isomermaid posted:I dunno, I think the Socrates quote is more "kids these days..." which is intergenerational snark. The modern equivalent of that is complaining about smashed avocado snowflakes. Portuguese has the word Saudade for this kind of pining for 'the good old days'. Apparently Welsh has the equivalent Hiraeth but i cant tell if it's a legit everyday word or just an Instagram tattoo word.

That’s interesting, I learned saudade as just being the way to tell someone you miss them. Strange to think of people going around being nostalgic for each other.

They often then were openly rude about other claiments but implied I was somehow not like them. They barely even tried to hide their contempt for what they saw as the 'undeserving' poor. After almost bankrupting myself trying to live in said town in the mid 2000s, I had to move back to my parents house in a northern town, where I was sanctioned for forgetting my log book, told they would need to see evidence I had been searching, and was told my disability wasn't a 'real excuse' for not taking public facing jobs, even though I wasn't formally claiming any support for it. Last time I tried to claim (different town again, complete dump in the middle of oxfordshire) I was told I can expect the grand total of £16 a month and money back on dental / eyecare I can't afford anyway, in exchange for jumping through an exhausing and punitive set of hoops every day and my disability scrutinised every few months. Even the application process is now openly hostile. Welfare access in the UK is now the equivalent of the HHGTTG planning application which was left 'on display for everyone,' in a locked filing cabinet in the basement of the council offices, with a sign on the door reading 'beware of the leopard.' And I still had to endure a lecture from my father in law about how easy it is for fackin immygrunts to come over here and have em handed right to em along with a free house.

I think the whole thing was a bit of a purposeful farce to get the gammons riled up. For what? I'm not sure. To remind them why they vote tory possibly? The world is a scary place full of antifas and leftistists and corbryns and if you don't vote tory you'll have to pay reparations to *looks at note* everyone!?

Remember how gleeful they would be when you needed your chimney swept and you threw a thrupapenny bit on the ground in their vague direction and they happily fought over it while you laughed. Remember how they would cough and splutter, but still be happy and give out a joke while you were swinging brushes and pokers at them. And they thanked you for it, yes they did!

It's not just the JobCentres that treat the working and middle classes differently. A friend used to volunteer at the local court supporting people fighting eviction, and the staff were almost always incredibly aggressive towards them. And, of course, the people attending - who were on edge and worried they were about to be made homeless - responded in kind. It was a vicious circle, where everybody was constantly ready for a confrontation.

I also take great joy in knocking a copier offline and telling them that yes, they have to find another one to use; no, I can't give an estimate for how long this will take and yes, if you keep talking to me, it will be longer

Time to repost this then I think. Some Vice stuff is pretty good. https://www.vice.com/en_uk/article/z3bmk8/unemployed-art-school-graduate-job-diary Also my post from last time we discussed this - now looking at the difference between the two I wonder if the first person just put me into the "shouldn't really be here" pile and that was the resulting experience, whereas the second time around the person gave 0 fucks. Red Oktober posted:A lot of that is horrifyingly real for me during my second redundancy. The first one (2010 or so) was fine - helpful job centre advisor who got my experience (she had similar before joining the JC) and that they would have very little for me and helped me pass the hoops while I did my own search.

You don't become a tory because you're bright, but you do think you are, and because you're thick you have to assume everyone else is thicker, somehow.

Also, the only people who'll be reading that book are people who want to read all about what a fool Corbyn is. So why not embellish the living poo poo out of every story, if it gives you a better chance of one day joining the ranks of professional political pundit.
