HI HELLO SORRY

I got into a huge Rimworld modding spree and forgot to check this thread again

So many people have been so nice about my progress, just wanted to thank you all!

On a more germane note, watching the ongoing dissolution of every single governmental/civic function that there is, is quite a thing to behold.

Do you mod Stellaris too? I was reading (ie: stealing ideas and all the best names for my own mod - totally for my own personal use) one of the files in a big Human namelist mod and noticed a 'MsAdequate' was the author...

but loving hell, is our health system broken to gently caress :(

It is. My mate's wife had an abscess on her torso that turned into sepsis so they rushed her to A&E. They took out the abscess and sent her straight home again with an open wound full of gauze and instruction to get her GP surgery to change it daily. Rang the GP and their single nurse was off sick so told them to call 111. 111's entire system for Beds was down so they went to the drop in centre. 5 hour wait later, the nurse there said it was wasting her time and she should have gone to her GP and told her if she came back the next day she'd be refused entry. Went back to the GP to ask for proper care but couldn't see her until the sunday so they suggested leaving it in or changing it herself, even though it's an open wound needing sterile care and a local anaesthetic. Broken to gently caress.

I'm having a fun time watching Pensioner Hubris. Old tories talking about how they got through the cold when they were young and fit, and completely forget that they're a bunch of decrepit skeletons on a fast downward slide. Can't tell if it's a death cult mentality, or they just have a Dodo like perception of danger.

As humans we're utterly dependent on the love and care of others to survive into adulthood. It's great that we've now managed to construct a society which completely removes any concept of compassion so that old people can be rich for a bit longer while the world incinerates

So, hang on: Were the 70s great because we all Just Got On With It and wore extra jumpers and enjoyed simple things like the frost patterns on the inside of the windows and didn't have iPhones, flat screen tellys and avocados...or were the 70s bad because of the strikes, the three-day week, The Bins and curly British Rail sandwiches?

Do we want politicians to Take Us Back To The 1970s or not?

Cheerily asked my super nice postie today how the strikes went and he got massively uncomfortable. Said he stayed at home, picket lines not for him.

Wished him a good salary increase, dunno why I felt so damned awkward. Just wanted him to feel supported without saying something dumb like solidarity from the dude he reliably wakes up out of bed at the end of his round on a workday. (there is only one 9 o'clock ...and its 9:53 right before my 10am standup)

He may have been expecting you to have a go at him. You are basically asking him his political affiliation out of nowhere so being cagey as to what the intent of the question is is a pretty normal response.

In order to alleviate further discomfort you should lead from a position of vulnerability by exposing your affiliation first, so next time you talk to him you should come out of the house with a boombox blaring the internationale and wearing a large false moustache and carrying an entire miners gala banner by yourself.

It really feels like there's going to be one absolutely heart-rending story during all this (my prediction: 3 generations of one family freezing/starving to death) that will splash all the headlines, and a new law will be passed with the name of the dead to ensure that this will "never happen again", and it will be good for some but too late for them.

Hate that it's so obvious that the system is about to catastrophically fail, and it's just "Welp we'll need to wait and see" from the govt & opposition. Sad.
Oh it won't be one family. The way the process goes is that one incident is portrayed as an aberration. Two or 3 are isolated incidents and mostly get ignored as we argue about whether the first one was a false flag. By the time there are a shitload of cases, the papers have gotten bored and moved on, and the public have added it to the big list of Things That Are Failing And We Can't Do Anything About So Keep Your Chin Up.

Repeat this process until you are the one dying and nobody's helping.

Neither, really. They're just all so full of spite for everyone else. They don't care that a lot of people are going to die as a result of their actions and they know (whether rightly or wrongly) that they won't be one of the people who do.
