It's never going to be the property developer stood there with an empty petrol can and a burnt out match, is it?! They will of course reach out to the local scallywags to burn down the troublesome old pub. They did three in my town several years ago. Only one has actually been built on. Houses look alright, for what it's worth.

https://twitter.com/BBCPolitics/status/1689180356228857856 It's crazy how many people have been conditioned to believe the ECHR is a bad thing. Most people have no idea about its history, why it's there, what it does or even who was loving behind it. Many believe the convention is part of the EU that needs to be shaken off, and I can see the Tories easily being able to get away with leaving the ECHR before the next election. If we do leave, I also can't see Keith being interested in re-joining. Human rights. Who needs 'em, eh? Scary times...

It's somewhat been absorbed into the EU to be fair, since the judgements are binding/enforceable for members but not otherwise. That's also why I don't get why they don't just ignore it, it might require some legislative changes but it should be possible to make it effectively advisory. It's what Russia did for years. I mean yes the real answer is it wouldn't look good, but hey. Private Speech fucked around with this message at 14:03 on Aug 9, 2023 |

Because being a member of the Council of Europe might mean that the Council of Europe says "hey look at these corrupt assholes, doing all this corruption" and then people might hear about it. They want permission to be flagrantly corrupt and boast about being corrupt without anyone saying "hey that's corrupt."

Here's a question about a topic that I've been ruminating on for some time. I'm a uni lecturer, and accessibility and disability issues has become an increasingly prevalent point of discussion in recent years. As I'm sure everyone is aware, the pandemic did a number on the mental health of a lot of secondary school and uni students, and we're still actively managing the fallout from that. At the same time, this has brought attention to longstanding EDI issues and encouraged discussions about how to improve conditions for students facing mental health or disability issues going forward. The comments that follow concern the most common conditions I and my colleagues encounter, anxiety disorders and ADHD, rather than other conditions such as autism. The problem is that we as lecturers are now being pulled in two different directions. On the one hand, we are receiving growing guidance to provide accommodations to students with disabilities, which includes not calling on students during discussions, not requiring students to perform presentations, and relaxing or removing constraints in exam writing or oral exams. On the other, the problems posed by the widespread use of ChatGPT and similar AI platforms is pushing us back towards varieties of in-person evaluation, such as presentations and oral exams. With the prevalence of common mental health issues such as anxiety disorders and ADHD--and in my experience the numbers have ballooned over the last few years-- this tension is becoming untenable. My question is, do we do a disservice to the large numbers of students with generalized anxiety, ADHD, and other common disabilities who are now asking for accommodations by eliminating these uncomfortable educational exercises? I don't have ADHD, but I have suffered from an anxiety disorder that has flared up to debilitating extremes throughout my life, and the way I made it through those difficult episodes was by seeking therapy and pushing myself to confront my fears. I feel like a boomer saying this, but my concern is that by providing more and more accommodations to a larger and larger percentage of students, we are not preparing them for the challenges of the real world. Am I totally off base?
