Fine by me, but some people seem to live for the rush of informing on someone they don't like. It's part of why authoritarian regimes tend to work so well (for a while).

The Question IRL
Jun 8, 2013

Only two contestants left! Here is Doom's chance for revenge...

BBC article about how the wheels are starting to come off the Brexit Wagon.

https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-scotland-scotland-business-55584500


The BBC posted:

These seem more immediate pressures than the split of Northern Ireland's economy from that of mainland Britain. But in the longer term, we'll surely find time and space to reflect on the extraordinary outcome of the long road to Brexit - that somehow took the UK's marketplace from the world's biggest to one that is smaller than the UK itself.

Perhaps it will be if or when the economic split leads towards a political one. Having played a key role in bringing about Brexit, the unionists of Ulster may find their cause fatally undermined by it.

Yes, the only reason Brexit isn't working was because of Ulster Unionists. No one else to blame.

For some lighter reading here is a thread about who is really responsible for the riots on Wednesday.

It's also by definition going to fall at any form of judicial scrutiny. It's up to the State to prove that a place is Public for the commission of a Public Order offence. A persons dwelling is always considered a Private place.

I'm sure it would be equally balanced had it been an antifa supersoldier invading the Capitol.

TBH I don’t see any particular distinction in the tone between that and any of the similar articles you will get covering the backstory of a jihadist suicide bomber.

“subtext” posted:

they were a person with qualities. Some of which may even have been good, or once were. They are dead. That they got caught up in a delusional cult is a tragedy. To understand and deal with them you need to understand and deal with the cult, not with the person they were before they got indoctrinated.

Which may be right or wrong, but is more or less equally so in both cases.

Regardless of the circumstances I can't help but enjoy protesters overrunning the US senate. As a frequent protester myself (for ideologically opposite reasons to the Capitol invaders, it must be said) it always warms my heart to see the state embarrassed like that. That kind of event can never be undone.

They already knew that really, you don't see cops getting maced at BLM protests &c because everyone knows exactly what would happen if they tried it, whereas right-wingers (rightly) think they can get away with it.

I enjoyed seeing cops getting maced tbh. Hopefully they'll remember that next time they're considering how to respond to the far right (narrator voice: they did not)

The slightest touch from a Gol-Shogeg will result in Instant Death!
Again: a decent chunk of the rioters ARE cops, so it's highly unlikely the cops are going to come down heavily on them, OR that they will subsequently face consequences from law enforcement, since it would be them imposing consequences on themselves.

I'm hopeful that it'll drive a wedge between the fascist rioters and the cops (where those are different people) given that there have now been both rioter and cop deaths as a result of that event

The capitol police chief's likely to have to resign over it too, which should hopefully influence their replacement

The did shoot an ex-cop in the groin with a baton round at close range in Texas last year, causing him to need emergency surgery and lose a testicle, but in that case the ex-cop apparently asked for it by asking them nicely to use baton rounds as per their training on BLM protestors instead of aiming for the face, rather than storming a government building.

I imagine a lot of people would prefer to save their money at the moment than buy poo poo coffee.

High street coffee can be ok but generally isn't much better than you can make yourself if you have a machine. The main advantage they have is the gimmick flavours which can sometimes be nice. I like the gingerbread flavours Starbucks usually does at Christmas.

The gimmick flavours are nothing you can't do at home, those Monin syrup pumps are buyable online and they last forever. You can go down a rabbit hole of expense with coffee paraphernalia, especially with espresso machines but you can get really good coffee out of a bog standard cheapo french press.

The one thing I did spend a bit of money on in the day was a grinder for like 50 quid or something cos freshly ground beans just taste and smell so much better. I'm still missing plonking myself in a corner of a Costa and spending a few hours working but mostly not for the coffee.

I hate long coffees and only drink espresso. Machines are poo poo at long coffees (pushing too much water through the puck massively increases the bitterness) but if you want a shot of espresso nothing will beat it.

However I got a cold brew coffee thingy for christmas and it's basically a long brew french press that you leave for 24h and has a much finer filter. drat it's good. No acidity. Do recommend as it's like £20 for one that fits in the fridge door and you get coffee for a week as holy hell it's strong.

This but a big piece of lab glassware that was once banned in Texas where you can buy anti-aircraft cannon because someone might make meth with it, and also means oval office in Portugal.

I don't mind drip coffee though, but I'd prefer one of the ones with a reusable dishwasher safe filter. And also a dishwasher.
