Barry Foster posted:Why, exactly, was it 'proper psycho chat'? you're the one that said gently caress off, think the onus is on you. But things like: journos just got bored because the novelty wore off or if they thought bad morale would hurt sales but it very quickly moved to the current "No it's just old people who'll die, you don't want 'them' to win by being forced to stay at home, do you? is nuts. as is: the beginning of a different world. It was squashed as relentlessly and ruthlessly as Jeremy Corbyn was. and frankly when we're talking about deaths and people's losses and things like that its really wank to read these weird fanfic versions of reality that bear no resemblance to actual reality. its just embarrassing.

Before you post again in this thread I would suggest you reread the subforum rules. This isn't the chat thread and you have added absolutely nothing to the discussion in any UKMT thread you've posted in. You don't seem to have picked up that the hostility toward you in here is not matey bants like it is in other subs. E: Alright, that was harsh, edited. I don't have anything against you personally. But seriously man, if you don't want to post in a constructive way that's at least approaching respectful to other posters, this is not the thread for you.

It's possible to still recognise that Covid is still a serious thing whilst not being scared of it on a personal level. I'm not scared of Covid in the same way I'm not scared of car accidents. I know I'm probably going to be involved in a car accident at some point, and that they are potentially fatal, & I take reasonable precautions to avoid them, but we're not gonna have a car free society any time soon & I'm unlikely to get killed or seriously injured from one so I don't let it bother me. The Government's attitude wrt Covid loving sucks balls, but considering I teach for a living & have a child in nursery the healthiest thing seems to be to just wear a mask where appropriate & take a LFT before visiting anyone who's clinically vulnerable, rather than drive myself mad. I'd also like to do poo poo like see live music & go to the theatre literally ever again, & it looks like the only way that's gonna happen is if I just mentally accept the risk, it's not as if there's not already a big risk attached to most fun stuff

I've discovered this amazing system where I do whatever I want to do but I just wear a proper mask in indoor public spaces. I guess I've worn glasses for years tho so I don't have to write effort posts weeping for my dramatically reduced quality of life as a consequence of having something on my face

Saying "I don't care if you die if you're not wearing an N95" is a hosed up thing to say. And i would expect better from the people in this thread.

Borrovan posted:It's possible to still recognise that Covid is still a serious thing whilst not being scared of it on a personal level. Your point about car accidents touches on something I was going to say. Riding in a car has risks. We accept those risks because it’s worth it. But we also wear seat belts and try to mitigate those risks. To me that’s kind of what mask wearing is although masks benefit others more than seat belts do. There is a middle ground between staying indoors and isolating entirely and going around licking door knobs.

Bobby Deluxe posted:I remember very early on in the pandemic quite a few articles about young, gymgoing people being put on ventilators and almost dying, but they tailed off as it got more widespread. Don't know if journos just got bored because the novelty wore off or if they thought bad morale would hurt sales but it very quickly moved to the current "No it's just old people who'll die, you don't want 'them' to win by being forced to stay at home, do you? " Early on we were told masks don't work purely because they'd messed up with the pandemic stockpile against advice. Then it was switched to mandatory(ish). Every lockdown we've had was announced weeks too late to be effective. They only started following advice when we topped the casualty list and Johnson infected himself by shaking hands with covid patients on the telly whilst trying to prove it wasn't a big problem. Now they're dropping pretty much everything whilst cases are up and hospitals are struggling because the PM pissed away his moral authority partying. The messaging has always been about what's easiest and cheapest for them, taking credit for things other organisations did like the vaccine drive and slamming the stable door shut to make it easier to deny responsibility for their obvious mistakes.

At first people found "let the bodies pile high" shocking, but if a message is repeated often enough, many people will find it a relief to align themselves with it. (See also: Corbyn.) It's not as if UKMT readers get the Daily Mail; it seems there's no way of preventing the message getting into your head via other people, short of solitary confinement. We need to develop mental resistance techniques.

Graun doing rehab work for the landlord classes again. https://twitter.com/AyoCaesar/status/1517805522614988800?t=D_AKdvTI1-Pt1DDGx-r4DQ A Nice Landlord posted:“The first properties (prior to 2014) were bought purely for investment,” she says. “I was working full-time within the social housing sector, so I was doing my bit. But even then, I was determined that my rents would be affordable. The properties acquired after 2014 were bought with the full intention of creating a portfolio of affordable homes so I could support others and be a good landlord.”

landlords thinking "we're only mostly terrible" front & centre in a headline somehow makes them look not terrible also they should publish proportionately about the other 99.9998% of landlords, for balance

This is why I am quite serious and quite literal when I say that we live in an abusive society. Quite apart from the material privations that it inflicts on the great majority of us, all of us - even the bourgeoisie - are being gas lit constantly
