Marmaduke! posted:Am I misreading this, or is that guy actually trying to protect whistleblowers? Just seems pretty opposite to what you'd normally expect especially from a Tory MP Maybe but probably not really? He previously told parliament that there was no evidence of war crimes by the UK special forces in Afghanistan. Then more recently he was called before an enquiry into those alleged crimes and basically said "yeah some mates of mine in the SAS told me they know about crimes that happened" but refused to name them. He says that he is protecting whistleblowers who did not themselves commit any crimes and spoke to him in confidence, with the implication that they are afraid of retaliation if their names are revealed. It's possible that's true, but it's also possible he is protecting people involved in some pretty brutal atrocities. We don't know, because these possible whistleblowers haven't actually blown the whistle to anyone except him. We do know that he has previously done everything in his power to prevent soldiers who 100% committed some terrible crimes in Northern Ireland from being prosecuted.

Guavanaut posted:When I was much younger I assumed that 'traditional Catholics' must just be people with strong opinions about Latin rites and which altar pieces go where Was raised catholic, and was an altar boy in the late 80s. And we had a bizarre priest, going on 90 himself, who would say latin mass every chance he got. Especially Devotions, which was a weekly saying of the rosary, usually at 7pm on a Sunday. The poo poo for the extra religious to goto. We loving hated to be doing mass with him, as he would scowl us after if we missed our 'marks' by a few seconds because we didn't understand a loving word of it. He was only liked by the really old, my parents said no one their age tolerated his rear end in a top hat piousness.

We had a priest for a while who would sing the Mass any chance he got. It was gorgeous but it made it take about 90 minutes and you'd hear all the old fellas sighing impatiently the moment he started. I had to kick him out of our house at 2am one time because he was drunkenly playing the organ and having a singalong. Go home Mark I have work tomorrow  Miss him tbh

Our local priest was nice and seemed quite progressive looking back. Never heard of any noncing which is nice. Hope you’re doing alright Reverend Lambert, your assemblies were more fun than Mrs. Stinson’s, though less hinged on bizarre and physically demonstrated metaphors.

Jaeluni Asjil posted:Paul Mason chat: It's crazy how far Paul Mason has fallen. I remember his book Why It's Kicking Off Everywhere was genuinely a good read on the 'arab spring', had legit good insights on globalism and had an excellent title. Now he's not even fully establishment, it feels like he's patheticallly begging to be allowed into the establishment? The fact that the establishment media went so hard on fake antisemitism claims to shut down the lefty populist Corbyn movement has hosed up any actual discourse on the problem so badly, it's still completely in-group vs out-group judgements. On a pro-Gaza march last weekend I heard some genuinely bad stuff though, not making any distinction between Israelis/IDF actions and Jews broadly. No space for that conversation though, and cunts like Mason aren't helping!

I ordered some food 45 minutes ago, and 30 minutes ago the driver was 2 minutes from my place, but I'm now stuck "Waiting for an update..." Yeah, me too. Except I'm hungry.

Sad Panda posted:I'm talking with my form about cost of living crisis and wealth inequality tomorrow. They're 16. It seems like a good opportunity to show some short videos about this. Would love to hear if anything good come to mind? Talking about inheritance and how lots of people get their money from parents seems important and any numbers or catchy things related to that also sounds like it could be useful. I only watch extremely long videos, but this has good stuff in it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B7nFA19Gzrw smellmycheese posted:So you can get speed for ADHD, weed for anxiety. When are we going to get prescription cocaine for social introversion? Can't help with cocaine, but the US should be getting MDMA-supported therapy soon. This book's very interesting, gives the whole history of the drug and what's going on now https://www.bloomsbury.com/us/i-feel-love-9781635579581/ I'm sure the UK will build an MDMA-proof wall and make David Nutt pay for it, rather than adopt this (Incidentally, apparently it's called Molly these days when used recreationally, which sounds like something the media would make up, that the kids are "totally calling it" now)

It's days like these that I feel like I ought to do a job that's useful to society, like become a 999 call handler or something. The salary starts at £22k which once again seems like we as a country are paying minimum wage for dealing with people on the absolute worst day of their lives, 24/7/365.

It is unbelievably stressful, never knowing what you will be dealing with when you get the beep in your ear. You will hear people having the worst day of their lives and it will really do a number on your psyche.

Because it often get asks when people find out what I used to do, this was my worst call I took. The call was around about midnight. A call came through from a mother who had just walked into a kitchen where her sons were fighting. The older brother grabbed a knife and stuck it into the throat of the younger brother and ran off. The mother is on the phone to me with her son in her arms. What I needed above everything else was to know where she was. The mother is an absolute mess and I have to use all the techniques I can to get whatever I can so I can get someone to her. What makes this call the worst call for me though was that I could hear that younger brother choking to death and drowning in his own blood. Those sounds will stick with me forever. So what do you do after a call like that? You hit the ready button and prepare for the next one. On a side note, there was something that I took from the role that I honestly think should be done everywhere. Because this was a legal thing and because there is every likelyhood that my log of the call could be used as evidence, when writing the details of the call we were to never used abbreviations (ACAB), slang (The Rozzers) or censor any words (F***ing C***) because a lawyer could argue that something else was said or intended (Farming Cows). So even now I tend to write everything in full so I can ensure that whoever reads it understands exactly what I was trying to say.
