Are you suggesting that the world could function without hearing the thoughts of a telegraph columnist? A bold claim if so, we have no way of knowing whether or not other humans are capable of thought. Without the columnist how would they exprience ideas?

verydarkblue posted:*Super nice stuff* https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=4030236 Absolutely welcome! I lurked for ages here before I dared post. I mostly just post random bits from my head because this is a community of honestly very nice, helpful people and folks here have picked up on things occasionally and lent a helping hand. I shall absolutely check out your work! More plushies cannot hurt! Jaeluni Asjil posted:
Just to point out, many in my office are over 55 and I'm pretty sure with your skillset, you could walk into a technical director or production role in the games industry if you ever wanted it. We've done a good job of stamping out ageism and sexism in the last few years, at least where I work. If you ever want to talk about it, as its all fully remote... Drop me a PM. Company is hiring a shitload and it has decent pay and full private healthcare with a surprising no preexisting conditions clause along with a ridiculous slew of other benefits. Same goes for any other computer touchers in the thread!

That's the worst part! I know the people in this thread are some of the most compassionate people I've ever seen. The problem is totally with me. It is hard for me to communicate but I'm going to work through it.

Speaking of fabric craft I was thinking of making myself a new cloak as I gave my original charity shop one to someone else. Need some cheap wool blankets or something to make it out of. I managed to figure out how to string my grandmother's hand crank singer so it would be nice to use it for something.

I learned how to sew on an old Singer treadle sewing machine. I still haven't found a machine that makes a more beautiful stitch. If you're looking for fabric, a lot of online stores and eBay sites sell remnants really cheap so depending on the material you want and how much you need you could find a bargain.

https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2023/apr/22/i-am-the-fuhrer-im-the-king-new-book-lifts-lid-on-life-inside-boris-johnsons-chaotic-no-10quote:Gove offered the account in a new book, Johnson at 10, by Anthony Seldon, which documents the chaos and downfall of the Johnson premiership. It argues that Johnson blamed Cummings and his wife, Carrie Johnson, to disguise his own reluctance to take difficult decisions in Downing Street. Seldon’s book states that Johnson described his then fiancee Carrie as “mad and crazy” as he used her as an excuse to avoid confrontations. Ed Lister, Johnson’s longtime adviser, said: “He thrives on chaos. They were all his decisions.” lol

I know Johnson did lots of stuff that's objectively worse, and I know Carrie doesn't deserve any sympathy, but pinning the blame on his own wife feels low even for him.

It underscores how pathetic it was for factions of the 'soft left' to be handwringing about how The Big Lie sounds a bit like an antisemitic conspiracy theory if you have an in depth knowledge of those when Johnson was running around screaming "I am the fuhrer" with his cock hanging out of his trousers.

The actual fuhrer should just have blamed everything on Eva Braun and Himmler instead. He'd probably have been NATO secretary General.

Well, it's quite eyebrow raising just how many Nazis went on to become valued and very senior members of NATO. There's dudes who were literally photographed with Hitler who ended up commanding NATO forces in the 50's and 60's.

I mean yeah, and operation paperclip was a thing. The US was not really particularly bothered about nazis unless it was causing problems for them. Plus if you're expecting to fight the soviet union, well, who has the most experience doing that on a theater-scale?
