NotJustANumber99 posted:If your car bursts into flames, destroys a 20million pound carpark, all the hundreds of other cars in it and grounds hundreds of flights at an international airport for a period of hours/days costing hundreds of thousands of pounds in cancellations and refunds, do they put up your car insurance rate the next year? It'll depend on the actual cause of the fire. For other insurers to claim against the insurance company of the car that started the fire, they'll have to show that the fire in the original car was caused by negligence on the part of the named individuals on the policy insuring the car where the fire started. And that's more or less going to boil down to "did the car have a valid MOT and were there any advisories that the owner had been advised to handle" and "was the car left running". If the car was off and empty at the time, and there was no reason the owner should have known there was a fire risk, nobody is liable (what's sometimes called an act of god*), so everyone just has to claim on their own insurance. *Retail insurers generally don't use the phrase "act of god" any more because customers hear that and assume that automatically means no cover (which to be fair it sometimes does, particularly in the US), but it really just means your insurer can't hold [random person the customer blames] responsible cause they didn't do anything wrong.

keep punching joe posted:My conspiracy poisoned brain has determined that the Starmer glitter attack was a false flag op by centrists to make him look tough. 😬😬😬😬😬😬 I feel the same. Reasons: - Normally when something like this happens, the media will not rest until they've found out who the person is, what their job is, who their family are, etc. Here, I've not heard a peep. - In a similar vein: normally we know at least who the person represents. His protest was so milktoast, "politics needs a reset, people's democracy!", that could be anything. He was wearing a shirt with some sort of org's name on it but it was covered by his blazer - Glitter is the least visually distracting thing he could have done. Surely a Just Stop Oil-style painting, or milkshaking, or what have you is what someone would have done who REALLY wanted to disrupt the speech. - The whole thing benefits Starmer. It makes "Starmer speech" a trending topic, makes it headline news instead of a usual "opposition leader also made speech" nothing article. And him handling it calmly shows he's "cool under pressure" - Where I get really conspiratorial: the body language really felt like Keith knew the guy. Holding his hand, not recoiling in any way. Surely he would have considered, "THIS GUY COULD HAVE A KNIFE, MOVE!", especially after the political killings of MPs over the past decade. I mean, it probably was real. But my bullshit radar has definitely gone off while watching it.

Bobby Deluxe posted:To be fair I can also be a wildly inconsistent dick. This is a drawback with the internet and 24hr news: there's always some poo poo going on somewhere in the world and these days you can't ignore it even if you want to, 'cos it's continually shoved in your face, along with demands that you engage with it and care very much about it. If it's genuinely getting you down, there's nothing wrong with switching off from current events that you didn't cause and can't do anything to either help or hinder.

Meanwhile, wanted to say thanks to I think Tesseraction for mentioning Ghost Trick a while back. Picked it up as a commute game and it's kept me going for several months, couple of chapters to go. For a fairly simple puzzle game it's a GOAT contender for presentation alone. Strong contender in the amnesiac cop genre as well...

OK I'm now fully glitter-pilled, that poo poo was a setup. Now the most beige man on the planet is associated with the fun Barbieness of glitter, and he got to demonstrate his constipated stoicism in the face of mild adversity (i.e. a white male being interrupted). How can I ever learn to trust politicians again

Keith was bred in a secret Blairite laboratory specifically to be as personally uninteresting and replaceable as possible, an entirely empty vessel for ideology bringing no principals or opinions of his own. He knew the glitter guy didn't have a knife because nobody could possibly work up the hate to assassinate someone so dull. It'd be pointless anyway since they could just force grow another in the vat with even less personality. He's the Labour right's perfect weapon.

This is what really rips my knitting about the SNP, especially since so many in the Tory press are still keen to cast them as left-wing radicals - we're talking about the party which nearly elected an avowed and unapologetic homophobe from a psycho teuchter protestant sect as their leader in Kate Forbes. It's one of the main reasons I haven't, and probably won't, ever vote SNP until they split along ideological lines and kick all the rightist mentalists out.

My MSP is Fergus Ewing, until Forbes came along he was one of the chief heidbangers in the party. A nepobaby Tartan Tory with a burning passion for the A9 being duelled, oil, unsustainable fishing practices and anything else abhorrent. oval office even voted against repealing Clause 28.
