sebzilla posted:That's a hell of a precedent to set And yet, I don't completely disagree with it. From the article, it seems as if the judge is arguing that comments made separately from your work shouldn't be held against you if they're not directly related to your work. Which is... fine? The guy's obviously a bit of a dick, to say the least, but if I can fired from my job for making comments on here - as long as someone puts the effort in to doxx me - that is 110% a massive infringement on my freedom of speech.

https://twitter.com/paulbIack/status/1452987736558870529 Also in the YOUTHS!!!  against middle class estate. The Facebook has reached new heights of hilarity with the burning of some blue bins.One resident has claimed we are being terrorised and compared it unironicaly to 911. One has said they'll keep their 9 iron by the front door to give them a good kicking (???) and another is insisting they're taking the blue bins so they can get high off the smoke when they burn them. It's loving comedy.

TV License chat : Things are getting weird. I haven't had a license for 10 years and don't watch TV or iPlayer. Like fuctifino I put in a fake name every two years. The most recent automatic update of my Sony flatscreen automatically downloaded the iPlayer and BBC Sounds apps (I didn't have them before) and put them in the most prominent position on the selection hotbar. I was sure stories like this were BS but it seems not : https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2021/03/16/bbc-suggests-250000-fine-tv-manufacturers-fail-give-iplayer/ There's no actual way to remove the apps from the TV now, you can just prevent them from being shown. Not happy about it but Sony are just ignoring my support request.

Youths are burning bins full of rubbish to create a drug called Jimcan, named after prime minister James Callaghan who also left the bins out once which was worse than world wars 1, 2, and 3.

BigHandsVince posted:TV License chat : As far as I've heard while you need a TV license to make use of the iplayer, simply having it on your TV is not an offence in itself. It doesn't prove you use it, especially if you can't remove it. I might be wrong about this, but don't you need an account to sign into the iplayer on a smart TV, anyway?

On the TV license chat. I moved here 2 years ago and rang them up before any rude letters to tell them pre-emptively to gently caress off. They then tried to tell me that I'd need a license to watch any live program including YouTube and Twitch. That lead to weird argument along the lines of Mr concrete grower further up the thread. Last week I got an email asking me weirdly politely if I still didn't need one. Filled out an online form saying no thanks. Hopefully they don't start the lovely letters again. That was a pain.

I suppose the real complication is if you're saying it in a way that easily ties you back to that employer - most people have their employer name in their FB profiles, which sort of makes it their problem if you start posting a Minion saying the 14 words.

Works fine. It never actually gets any use though, any TV I watch is either via Netflix or just torrented.

There's still* price controlling, otherwise the market would try to milk every last penny out of you because that's the only way to maximize profits and excuse me but it's not my fault if a single mom with five small kids can't afford any protein sources at these prices! With price control you of course also get a very lucrative black market so the rich still get to live like kings. But at least there's a chance that the average working class can afford to live, somehow. * as in there still should be, I have no doubt that Bojo would figure out a system that completely ignores everything learned from two world wars Nenonen fucked around with this message at 22:25 on Oct 26, 2021 |

goddamnedtwisto posted:WW2 and after rations remain the healthiest diet anyone has ever eaten in the British Isles. Low fat, high fibre, much higher proportion of seafood in the limited amount of protein that was available - it was so healthy that life expectancy actually *increased* in London despite, you know, the bombs and stuff. If you've ever seen a typical 19th century workhouse diet, you'd be amazed that people survived without apparently ever ingesting any vitamins. It was plentiful but bland and nutritionally bankrupt. We're talking pints of tea, pints of porridge/gruel (depending on how watered down it was), and generally some combination of bread, meat and potatoes, with the occasional portion of peas thrown in. The only variety was that sometimes the meat and potatoes was solid, and sometimes it was a soup. Jam was a treat, but even that would have had most of the vitamins boiled out of the fruit.

Novara Media's youtube channel got deleted earlier, what the hell It's back now, but slightly worrying that it could happen in the first place. No explanation or warning, and obviously they haven't done anything wrong. I'd like to think it was just some admin or algorithm gently caress up, but tinfoil hat on it's a bit questionable

even if rationing might be a good idea in theory in practice it's just going to be used as another stick to beat the poor with remember what the Tories thought a reasonable week's worth of children's lunches looked like? that's the baseline they'll be setting

Well the thing was of course that they *didn't* survive. Rickets was endemic in the working class, even outside the workhouses, and famously the first years of the Industrial Revolution, as people moved to the new cities, saw a bigger increase in mortality than anything since the Black Death, with scurvy and other deficiencies killing far more kids than looms ever managed. It was just a happy mistake that the diet of the poor shifted from pulses to potatoes which are a poor, but viable, source of vitamin C and calcium meaning people could at least long enough to die of cholera because they were pouring poo poo into the water sources. Wait... the Tories are just cargo-culting the Industrial Revolution, aren't they?

They are, but the guy clearly referenced a specific event, and if we imagine that he could easily prove he spends a lot of time talking about Zionist collaborators, then it is easy to argue he's being sacked for antizionism, which is not even slightly ok. It is a good ruling

Sure, much as I enjoy watching the fash trip over they own dick into getting sacked it probably is grudgingly necessary to look at it that way. Mostly I was just pointing out that he might actually be a bit of a poo poo in that respect, even if this specific instance is not legally enforcable as such.

If we did get rationing it wouldn't be like the war, it'd be a private company selling boxes that are 'supposed' to last the week but contain 2 bananas and a loaf of bread while they pocket the change for shareholders.

Flayer posted:The Tories realising that we made a major mistake at the end of WW2 and stopped the Germans from being able to get properly aggro again. We had the French as dance partners for centuries and then we went and put the Germans on ice within 50 years and replaced them with the Russians. That was never going to bloody work was it, they are too far away. The real error was letting the empire wither away. It used to be so that you could send all the dim-witted aristocratic sons to fail in some heathen lands, not able to cause many scandals big enough to be heard of at home. Now though? Those same types make up the front bench of the parliament. I suppose getting shot by the Boche serves the same purpose, the difference is if white or brown people will suffer as collateral damage.
