goddamnedtwisto posted:At the age of 8 when they made me watch Threads at school I made a very definite decision that I didn't want to survive the apocalypse and if the four minute warning went off I'd just walk out into the street and try and get as close as possible to a likely target. Almost 4 decades on and I feel no need whatsoever to change that decision. ThomasPaine posted:You might get both! Iirc the UK is one of the few countries that's going to get a lot colder because of global warming, because the melting ice caps will gently caress up the salinity of the ocean, buggering up the gulf stream that keeps us actually quite toasty for our latitude

Lady Demelza posted:Do you still have the original confirmation text/email and your little card? If you do then turn up at your original appointment time. The system is super glitchy and some people have gone to walk-in clinics for their 2nd but not cancelled their appointment. There will be enough vaccine for you. NHS Scotland didn't give me any paperwork at all at either vaccine appointment, so christ knows how I'm going to prove I've had it when you start needing certificates and stuff to travel

Gats Akimbo posted:My cat obviously heard about this somehow; 15 mins ago he came in yelling victoriously with a live mouse as combined toy/snack. I managed to get it into a mug and lob it into the most overgrown bit of the garden; good luck tiny wet mouse.... Many years ago this happened to my mum. Except when she was returning from the garden the cat ambushed her, clawed the poo poo out of her leg and ran off into the darkness. I knew cats were assholes but I'd never seen one so spitefully take revenge like that.

But the whole poo poo is "passive income" so it's literally "I can't just be given a million dollars by someone I have to have lots of people give me several dollars at a time in return for access to my means of production" Like you are by definition not forming value from your own hands read some loving marx!!!

Sanford posted:My second jab is exactly 8 weeks after my first, which was AZ. I don't want it any sooner than that, right? Trials were mostly 2nd dose around a month after first but for Az there is evidence that a longer wait increases the immune response to the second. I suppose the question is how likely do you think you are to be exposed to Covid in that extra month.

Passive income hustlers are hilarious, like that landlord who made the video of her two cars parked outside her rental property. They go on to proselytise about it as if the scam is possible for everyone to be doing. It's not, especially when most people are too busy getting hosed by rent rates higher than a mortgage, utilities and employers cutting their wages. Landlording always requires an exploited underclass, and those motherfuckers love glossing over that fact. I dunno. There's something especially enraging about the look on their faces thinking they've discovered something clever and telling everyone else they can do it to make themselves feel better about their role in exploitation culture. E: I think it's the framing of the money as 'passive' income that magically appears rather than being ripped from the hands of the people doing the actual work.

Passive income would be perfectly moral in a Kropotkinist commune where all land was owned in common and to get a house you just push a button on the house/bread printer. Passive income in such a society would also be bread (1).

I'm not even sure that this guy is a parasite, his logic that he'd rather have $50 a month and put it entirely in tomatoes than $1m and invest it, with a twist of the glass, sounds like some version of 17th century proto-socialist Leveller logic.Praisegod Startups, 1653 posted:Truly, tis better to take fifty from the common wealth and work the soil with thine hands, a million and idleness is no man's pride. Except entirely warped through late capitalism, rugged individualism, and hustle culture.

ThomasPaine posted:NHS Scotland didn't give me any paperwork at all at either vaccine appointment, so christ knows how I'm going to prove I've had it when you start needing certificates and stuff to travel The vaccine card isn't proof because you could borrow someone else's to get round the restrictions. You either need the NHS app (not the track and trace one) or phone 119 to get a paper certificate. If someone gave me any money at all, even a tiny amount, I would be overjoyed and probably do very boring stuff with it like buy a new sofa.

Tells you how to see an online record here https://www.nhsinform.scot/covid-19-vaccine/after-your-vaccine/get-a-record-of-your-coronavirus-covid-19-vaccination-status and you can request a printed copy online or by phone if you need it. I think they've said they're still potentially working on a better digital certification AFAIK.

Landlording always requires an exploited underclass, and those motherfuckers love glossing over that fact. The entire system of "look they did it why can't you" is built wholly on eliding the difference between anyone and everyone. "The perfect meritocracy, where anyone has an equal chance at making it!" "Sounds great. Is there room for everyone to make it?" "Erm, mumble mumble" Though I do remember one of the FYGM trolls in this thread being confronted many years ago, with that fact that his vision of society necessarily required 90+% of people not to "make it". His response: FT;GM - more honest than most!
