feedmegin posted:Very much this. This thread has been around a decade or more, as have many of its posters. It's basically an institution. Someone who just jumped in a couple of weeks ago with the clear intention to troll it manages to get it moved/split/replaced? They're going to view that as a victory for them and rightly so. I would go so far as to say they made that suggestion in bad faith. I think they'd be tripping over one another if there were more, except in cases where you want a thread watched enough that it needs several people in shifts. UKMT isn't really one of those, though, as we are mostly on UK time.

I don’t want to upset the sick notes and shut in posters here. I thought this was a general politics chat and not a doomer Marxist bolt hole. it’s not fun to post in here, or the other UK thread. I’ll stick with the yanks, our country is sick in all tangents.

So if I'm getting his thinking right, he believes everyone to the left of him is a Marxist, and everything he doesn't like is 'woke'? And he's under the illusion that every poster other than himself in this thread is a some kind of single entity that has equally shared beliefs and ideals? I'm actually jealous that his thought processes are that simple. Life sounds very woolly and padded in that soft brain of his.

Ugh you know it's bad when BBC news has to dedicate a page explaining that no, a 15 minute city is not a city where the council stop you travelling 15 minutes to go somewhere or decide how often you can go to the shops.quote:Conspiracy theories linking "15-minute cities" to sinister ploys to control people may once have been the preserve of fringe groups on social media, but have they now entered the mainstream of British politics?

If anything, the BBC posting this will just reinforce the fuckwits into believing the conspiracy more. The BBC is fake news NWO/WEF illuminati propaganda run by Bill Gates or something.

Very  to say that while the government is planning to use photographs from the passport agency to identify shoplifters, somehow.

I mean, it's not exactly wrong to say that this thread can be doomer as hell sometimes. Not that is isn't sometimes justified, but but it doesn't exactly make for a pleasant environment when everyone's tripping over each other to insist that we're all completely hosed and nothing good will ever happen.

josh04 posted:I don't think Koos is advocating for changing the thread, just using those advanced debate club skills to note that if we want more moderation itt then it's either add more IKs or change the current detent where D&D mods don't touch the thread (which is fairly strictly adhered to). No pressure to change the latter. How come the UKMT has it's own rules that aren't the D&D rules? What are the rules for this thread? Are there any other threads that also have their own rules and are they listed somewhere?

Don't really understand what Sunak gets out of being PM. Truss and Johnson seemed at least to want to exist in a position where action can be taken/seen to be taken. (Hilarious/disasterous actions usually but anyway...) Does Sunak actually want anything? He has more money than God and no apparent initiative or project. The big vision of this PM is that cars shouldn't go too slow and trains shouldn't go too fast.

Half of them are bankrupt and the other half are just barely managing to provide the basic services they have to. And in this sort of world, people genuinely think that councils are gonna have enough money/manpower/time to enforce 15 minutes cities somehow?? Even with an infinite budget it'd be a stretch.

Historically the idle rich take up little hobbies to kill time, gentlemen gardeners, farmers, scientists. Sadly for us Sunak has chosen 'World Leader' as his hobby.

I think the idea generally is that the new world order will give stormtroopers to the council to do that. The conspiracy is as strong or weak as it needs to be.

The big vision of this PM is that cars shouldn't go too slow and trains shouldn't go too fast. Based on how he has functioned as PM I am guessing that he misunderstood the nature of the position and thought it was going to be his job to directly manage the cabinet, and he wanted to be a manager.

I very rarely post in this thread apart from recent umbrella thanks. I was always worried that I'd post something dumb and people will think I'm a oval office. So with that in mind.. gently caress the tories, Keith is a useless oval office, Birmingham was fine when I was there the other night. London smelt like poo last time I was there. Beef Monster munch. I think that's covered all the bases. Like, subscribe, and click the little bell, etc. And RIP Camrath, his fudge and posting were both top-tier.

The UKMT does not have an overly restrictive written constitution of 'rules'. It simply functions on convention and old heads acting as remembrancers to ensure that the standard decorum is maintained. Otherwise we get some American mod barreling in banning people for using the word oval office.

So, it works on a hodgepodge of understood rules, outdated rulings and decorum that is not in fact innate. As above, so below.

BalloonFish posted:SNCF definitely benefited from the long-term planning and management that nationalised technocratic organisations are suited to. This is a good post and I generally feel that all the media reports saying that Sunak will cancel HS2 mainly exist to pressure him into cancelling HS2. Related, how would Sunak actually cancel HS2? Approval for the stretch to Manchester for example has already passed through Parliament as a Hybrid Bill, as I understand it. Would he just direct the Treasury not to give them the money for it?

My understanding is that general site rules apply but it's trusted that local thread IKs will apply them more appropriately than out-region mods who usually deal with US-specific stuff. This arrangement pre-dates the new D&D rules which I think everyone agrees would basically destroy the communities in these threads. e: for clarity i am not a d&d mod or d&d-mod-adjacent josh04 fucked around with this message at 11:19 on Oct 3, 2023 |
