I mean it's just an extension of how work works for everyone else above grunt level, if you have the right qualifications and prior experiene that makes you perceived to be valuable to the people who got to the decision making part of the organization, it makes you a commodity, and business is full of commodity fetishists. You want the valuable people to endorse and operate your business because that is how you understand the world to work. It has nothing to do with their actual ability to do useful things, or the process that produced them, you simply need to ensure that the operator of the business is inherently valuable.

It's people who perceive their own value in the form of a commodity projecting that onto other people.

I am incredibly stupid

quote:

“As a man he’s extremely nice,” Charie said, sharing an anecdote of how Corbyn had visited a local school soon after becoming Labour leader – “you wouldn’t get Boris Johnson doing that.” But Charie said he had concerns about Corbyn’s politics, not least his stance on the IRA. “And this antisemitism thing doesn’t seem to be going away.”

lol I think this p much sums up how hosed we are as a country, guy literally knows from personal experience that Corbyn is a nice guy and still goes "but he loves terrorism and is a nazi"

Corbyn’s actions have been unconscionable, only please don’t ask us to actually describe said actions explicitly because it’s been a few years and we still haven’t quite been able to pin down any specific examples.

I think it’s less “is antisemitic” and more “didn’t address this issue quickly enough”. (Yes, I know the consensus here is that it wasn’t his fault). I don’t think that many Britons care that deeply about AS; it was more the perception that he failed to address something bad.

He's being attacked for circumventing the process to get Livingston suspended quicker & for not addressing the issue quick enough and if that doesn't make you rise an eyebrow about the sincerity of an awful lot of this then you're every bit as loving stupid as I suspected based on your CSPAM takes.

This explains a lot about what was going on about Minicurve’s app at school, it was pinging her saying that she had been in contact with multiple people, but not enough contact to self isolate, and she and her friends were going all Nancy Drew over trying to work out how long and how close you had to be to one another.

Same, I was expecting to get told off but they never mentioned it at all. I've been avoiding it because my twat neighbour is still running his airbnb hotel (and still.lying on the ad about the communal kitchen & bathroom!) so i'd be getting pinged constantly.

I've seen adverts for it everywhere though, which makes me wonder how much of that budget went straight to Google through ad revenue.

This is why you take your safety into your own hands and don't trust the goverwnt to give you an app to make you safe.

They just gave a cousin eleventy million quid to shart a broken app onto people's phones ofc it doesn't work nothing about their approach works.

It stopped being just about us having sold the central government and now its just open corruption and failed state stuff.
Like how far into the final day's of a society do you have to be for the government to not be able to copy paste an app they already have been given

Eh, I don't think theyr too bad or doing it intentionally. We can maybe stand to have one dissenting opinion sometimes.
They can grab a probe if they get too annoying

It's just the usual frustration you get when you're trying to have a factual argument with someone about reality and what theyr bringing to the table is british newspaper articles.
It takes a long time to erode people's reliance on the magazines.

Part of me wonders if it's part of a neolib / US republican idealist plot to destroy faith in government, and the I look at the people involved and realise no, they're just malicious twats who act on ideology rather than any kind of planning.

I was pretty careful in my last post to not reopen the argument about where fault lay with the whole AS thing: it was more about how it was perceived and the effect it had. A lot of people don’t care that much about AS but thought that Corbyn’s inability to deal with it (whether through lack of desire or sabotage depending on one’s standpoint - not going into it) reflected badly on him as a leader. The longer it dragged on (deliberately or otherwise) the worse he looked. If you subscribe to the sabotage theory, then it worked as planned.

I didn’t think that this would be particularly controversial.

Obviously I think he could/should have dealt with it better and quicker and I’m angry with him that he didn’t in part because it helped gently caress the party.

Do both. Mask, space, app, wash hands. There's limits to what I can do to stay safe and still eat, and any competent state should be better at controlling spread than just the individual.

I wonder if this will be something of a death knell for the Western liberal individualist ideology, when all the places that actually bothered having some sort of society come out of it well.
