Unrelated but seeing the hodge podge of various eras of military kit being fielded, from 1960s tanks, to armoured trains, and biplanes converted to UAVs is giving me real Genesis of the Daleks vibes. And this is before the nukes start flying.

Failed Imagineer posted:As was frequently pointed out since pre-Brexit vote and subsequently, turning the UK into an isolated little island with few trading partners makes it exponentially more reliant on trade partners, which leads to a lot of kowtowing to autocrats. Plus the natural Tory admiration for autocratic regimes, and the opportunities for mutual profiteering.

MSU study on narcissism concludes that while people tend to become less narcissistic as they get older, boomers had far more relative sensitivity, and millennials appear to be losing narcissistic traits much faster.quote:Chopik found that the fastest-changing age group was young adults. He also found that, contrary to popular belief, changes in the levels of narcissism are lifelong and changes don't stop at any certain age or stage in life.

You can have a person who intended to weaken western democracies and then found financial support to achieve that, and you can have people who just wanted some quick cash and were willing to take it from people who's goal was the weakening of western democracies, and at this point the material difference between the two is the sum of gently caress all.

I don't believe Nigel Farage wants to weaken liberal democracy though. Certainly less than I want to, as a libertarian communist. Nigel Farage wants to reduce the size of the state when it comes to taxes because he's a libertarian but would see an increase of it in regards to border enforcement because he's a nativist racist. But bring a nativist racist who supports cutting the welfare state into a fraction of its already reduced size is hardly incompatible with liberal democracy.

I don't actually particularly want to do half the stuff I do at work, but I do it because they pay me. I can't really argue that I'm not participating in work stuff just because I don't actually care about most of it. e: I also take issue with the "otherwise perfect liberal democracy" bit, because one of the many problems with liberal democracy is that it's incredibly vulnerable to fuckery by rich people(/state actors), so pointing out that that's happening is, like... yeah, it kinda sucks when you think about it?

Like in the old joke about bacon and eggs, Lavrov is the pig and Farage is the chicken. This analogy works in other ways too.

Does anybody off the top of their head know how long you have to wait after general anasthetic before you can drive? The hospital has kindly decided to shove a probe up my dick for my birthday so I am planning how much time off work I will need.

It isn't today but thank you.Guavanaut posted:Do they not give you the little leaflets with "here's what we will be doing and here's how long you have to wait before doing x, y, z as a guide" any more? They usually account for that and others. I assume I will get one at some point but at the moment they just told me to turn up and I only know what they're doing cos the doctor told me last time I was in. Oh and apparently I need to prove I have my jabs and a lat flow test but they do not specify what "proof" constitutes, it's a private hospital doing an NHS job so frankly I'm just glad they can find their arse with both hands. Will book a few days off anyway, not like I take my holidays otherwise so I can enjoy a long weekend of horrible piss pain. OwlFancier fucked around with this message at 18:08 on Mar 11, 2022 |

It depends on exactly what anaesthetic they use and your reaction to it, but I definitely wouldn't plan to be driving that day. (Also seems cruel to knock you out so you can't enjoy your special birthday treat, I bet if you went private they'd provide you with some amyls instead)
