forkboy84 posted:K Rose in GTA San Andreas was my intro to country that wasn't Toby Keith shite. Absolutely fell in love with the melancholic vibes of his honky tonk country. And the Patsy Cline tune on their too. And then later on I found stuff like Townes Van Zandt & Steve Earle My main exposure to country music has been via the fallout games, particularly New Vegas, which has some absolute bangers. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fmRjgWW8yn0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-NuX79Ud8zI E: There's a Vault 119 in Fallout: https://falloutfanon.fandom.com/wiki/Vault_119

Miftan posted:Definitely contact your union. My gut (IANAL or Union Rep) feeling from looking at stuff like this is that that meeting might be invalid if they didn't send an invite to your actual union rep (sometimes councils have a stock list of unions, but they are obligated to contact the employee's one iirc). This would mean they'd have to re-do it which should maybe give you a bit of extra time if nothing else? Anyway, I might be talking out of my rear end, but contact your union ASAP - they'll know what to do. This only matters if they try at a later date to call this the beginning of the formal "consulation" on redundancy - as many (most?) employers will kick that off with a letter instead to avoid confrontation and ambiguity, and try whenever possible to do it in one-to-ones to try and divide and conquer, I'm not sure if the exact circumstances of the meeting are that important. On the wider point - it will depend on the exact circumstances of the sale of the centre, and I assume that the transfer from public to private makes it even more complex, so thirding the "talk to your union rep ASAP" advice.

Hes a joke lol That was hilarious and his last high point. Just utterly humiliating old fucks who's imagination has never allowed for anything but "America=Good". Its a shame he's such a oval office himself.

I want to point out that I am not truly posting this question in earnest. However, if someone does want to do a deep dive on a reply, I won't be mad. Is George Galloway woke?

George Galloway's career for the last decade or so has been one long grift. So if he seems 'woke' at any given time, it's because he's decided that's the tack he needs to take to keep the money and publicity coming in. Whether he actually believes any of the poo poo he spouts is a question for him.

Yeah I think he's just politically opportunist, certainly the CPGBML he pals around with are a bunch of freaks even if they think capitalism is bad. Honestly I think he's just a bit mental, like the specific kind of brain rot that you get when you spend too much time around weirdo MLs and other extremely niche UK political groups that are basically cults, and you end up mixing things that might seem good on the face of it with insane reactionary poo poo. Like he's just completely drifted out of the context of the rest of human political experience.

More specifically, he's a big ol' transphobe, and got weirdly flirty (in a political sense, not a romantic sense... that we know of) with Trump's crowd after he got elected.

One of Cash's more understated talents was to completely change the narrative of a country classic from a black and white morality tale into a "well, should he have?" tale without changing a single word https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LZfItlZG97Q

The easiest way to "get" country music is to listen to Hank Williams' "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry" at the right moment. Whole genre makes sense if you time it right.

The election is today so they should probably know who the tory candidate is given they are on the ballot paper. Perhaps, and this is a wild idea but hear me out, george might be saying things that are not, strictly, true.

Ghost Leviathan posted:What about Labour being willing to stir up sectarian and racist anxieties to lose elections Like I'm not advocating voting Labour (I never have), if you like Kim leadbeater, or want to stop the tories sure. If your aim is to give starmer a kicking you can have as much of an effect voting for literally any other party, or not voting, without the need to get in the mud with George Galloway.

Losing because of Galloway will mean everyone prints pictures of him and Corbyn hanging out 15 years ago and blames it on the hard left and horseshoes and so on. I mean they'll probably do that anyway but still. Starmer is poo poo enough to lose on his own lack of merit.

Doesn't Galloway even know that Labour is automatically entitled to the Muslim* & left** vote without having to do anything to earn it?!?! loving thief. *press's view not mine, obviously most Muslims aren't bigots (& I heard those homophobes he's been campaigning with aren't even from the constituency) **yeah the "left" vote for Galloway is gonna be confined to a few weirdo tankie nutjobs & possibly some protest votes from people to the left of Starmer but who are too young/uninformed to know about Galloway, but Starmer's still got to earn all 7 of those votes

OwlFancier posted:In some good news the newright to repair rules come into effect today. Hopefully we can get more things like this to cut into disposable and planned obsolescent products.  I was looking through some of the Global Village Construction Set people's stuff yesterday for the first time in a while, they were one of the originators of the right to repair campaigns in the 00s under lifetime design. That led me to find their recent 39 Pressing World Issues which, while I don't think it was written in order or all by one person, reads like a sudden on the spot conversion from fringe libertarian to Green Party to "hang on Marx and Fanon had some points." Or one of those very strange local candidate flyers you sometimes get. OwlFancier posted:I'm not sure if "lost because of other factors" or "lost because of george galloway" is funnier tbh. Because I don't know if there are any other factors that are more embarassing than galloway. Climate change could be great for Britain! Other countries? No, this is Britain.
