How is decriminalization even still a debate? After Canada and the entire US West Coast it should be "legalization yes/no" and big boy pubis prosecutor should be able to say "well we've got a backlog of 3 years in the courts so I don't think the British public want to see time and money wasted on grown adults growing the wrong type of plant, it should be an issue for HMRC."

I posted last night about a couple of our local CLP officers being suspended (I don't know what for) but since then I found out that apparently over half the CLP Exec have quit any officer roles - partly in disgust at the stalinist approach of the Starmer & Evans, and now another few in solidarity with the suspended persons. It can't be the only CLP going through this! I do feel sorry for the Labour candidate for the senedd because she really is an excellent candidate (as a personal person). Nostalgia chat: Ms Adequate posted:
Very good post Ms A. It's not just the British who get nostalgic for a non-existent past: I know Egyptians - younger than me and I wasn't born until 1960 - who come out with "Everything was so good under the King we had proper lorries for furniture moving and bread for everyone" (the last King of Egypt was deposed in 1953 when he was just 1 year old). Slovenians who were toddlers under Tito who say "Everything was so good under Tito - we all had a nice house and free education - so he killed 100000 people, but we were ok' For a lot of people, I think it is fear of change. For Egyptians post-revolution, they no longer knew who to I also think that there is an element of people being actually very young (or not even born) and being mostly unaware of adult life under these past idylls - managing money, going to work, bringing up kids and so on, so the nostalgia is partly for a time when you didn't have to worry about any of that stuff because someone else was doing all the worrying on your behalf. Also, without the internet, a lot of people were blissfully unaware of things that were going on. Total Meatlove posted:Why is it so difficult for them to get one person, just one, in his staff to explain a sport to him? Like if he came out during the six nations and said ‘to be honest I don’t really follow a team, but I’m a big fan of Union and has a soft spot for the Tigers, can’t wait to see the England / Wales game’ it’d get literally gently caress all follow up. Try getting to be PM in the UK if you don't actually give a stuff about which team wins a poxy football or rugby or cricket match or who wins Cake Off.

I don't think not watching the cooking competition & City vs United is actually much in the way of depriving yourself of culture. It's light entertainment, & if you don't enjoy it why would you watch it? I don't want to go watch musical theatre, so I don't really feel much in the way of deprivation. Anyway, more importantly https://twitter.com/alasdair_clark/status/1363455293301149697?s=20 Imagine getting your tongue bitten off in a fight only to see a seagull nick it. Raging.

Sport is culture, crappy reality TV is culture, lovely transphobic fantasy novels are culture everything people create to entertain, compete, inform or distinguish themselves is culture. Culture is and should be value neutral in and of itself.

Basically though I don't like the format. Like, the entire format of "you watch a thing happen at you" so that means no TV, movies, theater, music shows, anything like that.

Didn't see it mentioned earlier but Kieth also came out in favour of 'Nightingale classrooms' in his push to have schools reopening. Obviously no details in what that phrase means. Use the local town hall/church/Costa for classes?

Use the local town hall/church/Costa for classes? Nightingale wards were a Victorian attempt to mitigate cross-infection from one ward to another: each ward stuck out on its own from a central core.  The cruciform shape of the old Waterhouse design of University College Hospital in central London was an attempt to replicate this in a much smaller footprint by going vertical:  Quite how you could achieve something like this with existing schools, I have no idea.

Total Meatlove posted:In response to ‘sport is banned from my TV’. If I were absolute dictator, I would make all tvs have a compulsory V switch so any one person in a home could block all sport from ever appearing on a tv in that home. I go to my sister's, there's this huge tv dominating the living room and it's always full of poxy sport (her husband is a sports fanatic) and that horrible noise of commentators and crowds. Never any actually entertaining progs on such as Law n Order, NCIS, CSI, Lewis*, Midsomer Murders, Murder She Wrote, Taggart... *less enjoyable since finding out what a twerp the sidekick bloke is in real life.

Noxville posted:https://twitter.com/ayocaesar/status/1363463041334018049?s=21 Decriminalizing personal use it good for public health, because a century of prohibition has proved that it does nothing to decrease use and probably increases it, but decriminalizing personal use and doing nothing about the other end of the equation does nothing to address the crime, gangs, 'county lines' or whatever we're calling it now, and knock on effects of the trade. Which is why almost all sensible discussion has blown past decrim and into how sensibly licensed legalization would look. (But that's not a good reason to avoid talking about decrim at all kieth.)

OwlFancier posted:I think "series of opportunities to pay for the same game" might be more accurate. I've always wondered about this particular critique. Does it extend to all of the CoD games as well? Also, I don't think I have sat down and watched a TV programme in about a decade now. I'm glad people are having fun with it though.
