Did the gammons get worked up over this picture? If so, I assume it's like when the video of AOC dancing came out and the right were desperately trying to sublimate their horniness through incoherent rage and paranoid fantasy. Which I guess is always the case, but moreso E: in '92 I became horny for the first time, haven't had a moment's peace since

Who is the attractive lady eating a lollipop? I discovered recently that all the 2000AD Judge Dredd stuff was on Amazon now so I got the first volume. I can see why people like it. DO NOT LET YOUR HOUSE ROBOT READ THIS STORY.

Beefeater1980 posted:Who is the attractive lady eating a lollipop? The first volume doesn't even scratch the surface of why Dredd is great. If you pick up another Case Files book, make it CF5. It's got a bunch of standalone stories from one of the "jumping on" issues followed by one of the greatest epic stories, and it has the most solid run of artists of the black and white era. The only drawback is that you get Judge Death Lives without having read the original story, which is in CF3. Then read Judge Dredd: America because the original story is the absolute pinnacle of the world. It was sold for £3 as the first volume of a partwork a few years ago, so it should be easy to find.

goddamnedtwisto posted:Like I say it's not impossible that at some point in the gaslit past a daytime recce of a house for nickable items would be followed up by a nighttime visit to nick them, and they wanted to mark where they saw the lady with the expensive brooch in those days before house numbers. *Maybe* I'll grant they still do a daytime shufti - after all it's easier to pick out which houses have poo poo doors in daylight - but all you need to do is whip out your phone and get the exact location saved for you, rather than carrying around an invertible spray can or whatever. I guess the counterargument is that phone is now pretty solid evidence if the plod catch you, though.

https://www.ft.com/content/9a825fe8-8ea5-4ef3-84b7-2529bfe5ffed The FT has a long article on the private equity firm taking over a massive proportion of the UK's vet practices. It's interesting in and of itself, but it's also telling about what happens the moment serious capitalism gets its claws into unregulated healthcare. quote:One vet in southern England says the price of Metacam, a widely dispensed anti-inflammatory painkiller, rose at their practice by 28 per cent to £82.79 for a 100ml bottle after IVC took over. The price of ProZinc, an insulin for diabetic cats, rose 39 per cent to £99.34, the vet says, and Fortekor, a heart medication, rose more than 78 per cent to £76.85. Seems instructive given the latest trend for US healthcare companies taking over GP practices en masse. Also an amazing example of how these people co-opt the language of equality as a PR shield quote:The company believes its greater scale can bring better management to the booming vetcare sector and introduce new technology and training that will help with both administration and animal care. Its supporters say that in an industry traditionally dominated by men, it offers a career path more suited to younger women juggling families with careers.

Independent practices are definitely being swallowed up by corporates though, my previous practice was bought by VetPartners who went from only a couple of practices to announcing practice acquisitions almost weekly, comes with a whole host of problems by having to use preferred suppliers and preferred referral centres and no longer being able to dictate prices for consumables

Obviously nasty poo poo happens but illness and natural disasters are not exactly what they're posting on Facebook about. Here's the way I see it. Everyone has a certain preferred level of risk - not just maximum, but baseline. We all know about people who just aren't happy unless their lives are in danger. Well, these people are living an almost completely risk free life, and it's killing them inside. They're too spineless to do something worthwhile and too sensible to do something stupid, so they grasp at anything that might tell them they're in danger. Every weird mark is a threat from the Romanian mafia, every teenager not currently in motion is casing the house, every teenager that is moving must be fleeing the scene. I think that's why middle class parents fixate on their children's lives too, your kid could get a bad grade and oh my god that will RUIN THEIR LIFE FOREVER

Josef bugman posted:It's fear of losing it. Its the fear that maybe you don't deserve all these nice things or maybe it's all just random and it could all go away. So you settle in and try to make everyones life worse. Fred Clark posted:The clearest illustration of this was an outbreak of Satanic Panic a generation after the Salem witch trials, one which lasted longer and was far deadlier and more gruesome in its toll: the New York Conspiracy Panic of 1741. The purported cause of this panic was a massive Jesuit conspiracy to lead New York City’s 2,000 enslaved persons in a revolt. There was never any evidence that such a conspiracy or revolt was really being planned, but mass hysteria seized white New Yorkers nonetheless because they all knew, with utter clarity and certainty, that a lethal slave revolt was what they deserved — what they had earned and what justice itself demanded if the most evident wrongs in their city were to be righted. It's not full blown moral panic yet, but it's well into the waters of empathy turned to fear and resentment that leads to it. That they recognize that life sucks for a lot of people, and that, in some way, they may have benefited from the material conditions that created that, but rather than try to rectify it in any way, they fear that actual justice would mean other people coming for the security that they've gained. That actual justice would mean that they can't just sit in suburbia while others suffer, so they'd best be watching out for any sign of actual justice on the horizon.

Anyone who chooses to live in the suburbs, rather than in the inner city where all the fun stuff happens is going to be pretty risk-averse by default. I wonder how much of a factor white flight is in urban geography these days compared to a more generalised fear of poverty and disorder?

Well I've never heard the term renters insurance, I don't know if that's something specific that covers more like paying your rent if you lose your job or something. But if you just want insurance that replaces your stuff if you get burgled or your home burns down, then that's what contents insurance is yes.

Pistol_Pete posted:Anyone who chooses to live in the suburbs, rather than in the inner city where all the fun stuff happens is going to be pretty risk-averse by default. I mean it could also in part be because the inner city of most places is so expensive at the moment. There is also something that I think is weird in that when people see that people from TV or what have you are just people there is an instinctive lack of awe for them. The fewer people that see the monarch or know how things work the better from the point of view of hierarchy because then the less people there are to point out how stupid it appears to be.
