JeremoudCorbynejad posted:I take great solace in the fact that it's actually far too late to fix climate change, it was too late 20 years ago, and it'll kill us all, and the rich and powerful are coming with us That’s not true, you, like a lot of people, are conflating the fact that significant disruption is locked in, with total destruction. So yes we can’t stop climate change but we can stop it getting worse. It’s a moving scale. We are currently locked in to 1.5 c of climate change. We can survive that. If we do nothing this locked in temperature increases. I don’t know what’s so hard about this and i suggest you leave the climatology to the climatologists.

OwlFancier posted:I don't think I would say it is "genetic" especially as society-wide proactive behaviour is like, the definition of socially constructed. When you say "society-wide", do you mean "occurs in every society everywhere ever since the beginning of time"? That's why I'm saying it's in the genes Funnily, lack of proactiveness is not even the most perilous stupid behaviour we have in our genes anyway

That's why I'm saying it's in the genes I mean that how a society acts en-masse is obviously a result of learned behaviours, an individual might have a degree of genetic programming but I think that becomes less relevant the more people you have together. It's like saying that capitalism is genetic because it's prolific, rather than because it's a self sustaining social behaviour derived from a combination of historical precedent and technological capability.

NotJustANumber99 posted:I for one do not feel the need to post happily about the potential death of an old lady, whoever she might be. I don’t think the Queen is a particularly horrible person so won’t rejoice her passing. It’s a bit like hate the game, not the player. Although she obviously has a healthy dose of self-interest she also, unlike most others in power, also has something of a sense of duty, even if it may be misguided. Makes a change from the government.

Boris take note I dunno if they'd risk a day off, everyone getting pissed and having a big bank holiday party isn't really the desired vibe? I reckon it's even odds that the amount of disrespect and tasteless jokes on Twitter leads to the government actually attempting to shut the site down.

Hey everyone, I've not really been paying attention to the recent Trans debates over the past couple years (mainly because it's all so loving depressing living on TERF Island, and I largely checked out of anything UK Politics-related after the 2019 election), but the recent BBC nonsense and a gross experience at Uni has motivated me to get up to speed on what's been happening. I'm currently studying a PGCE course and was half-listening in on a couple women in my class having a talk about the aforementioned BBC podcast, and how "good" and "important" it was, etc. etc. I eventually asked if it was a takedown of the LGB Alliance (because I didn't know the content of the podcast series, and they were talking about hateful homophobic aspects of the organisation that was the subject of the series, it being dangerous for homosexuals, and so on), but they told me that it was for Stonewall and that "the LGB Alliance was doing some really great stuff". I know that this is patently a load of poo poo, as I seem to recall articles coming out when the LGB Alliance was first rising to prominence which showed how nakedly 'Funded by Right-Wing Fundamentalist Agitators' it was, and how clearly it was set up to erode LGBTQ+ rights, but now that I'm doing a bit of googling to learn more about it I'm seeing absolutely nothing but fawning articles about how cool and good it is as an organisation and how Stonewall is so evil. Is there a good starting point to actually learn more about all this, and what's actually happened in the last 2-3 years? I saw that they're now a loving registered charity (!?); I feel like I'm losing my mind over the recent coverage and how blatantly one-sided it is, and how easily it feels like the LGB Alliance has covered its recent history.

Maybe they can declare a month of mourning, and make staying at home, wearing masks, and covering up coughs and sneezes the official method of showing respect for 'Er Majesty. Might be the best thing to happen to public health in this country since the BCG.

Okay, before I start ordering flags to fly at half-mast - does BBC2 *normally* carry the News 24 feed in the morning? It's years since I watched daytime TV so maybe this is a normal thing but it certainly feels not-normal. e: Answering my own question, yes they do on weekdays. gently caress me they must be hard up for content. goddamnedtwisto fucked around with this message at 11:35 on Oct 22, 2021 |

A holiday but with shops staying open (so gammons don't get enraged that they can't go to the shops) alongside front page articles castigating the staff of shops that are open to pacify gammons for not respecting OUR QUEEN would be very on brand.
