Pencils R Cool posted:How likely is it that similar groups are targeting UK users? Not just similar groups, but anyone with a bankroll, half a brain as to the situation and a motive is trying their hand right now. Anything from false amazon reviews to providing cheerleaders for bombing raids. 2017: Never read the comments.

Zephro posted:T-shirts and jumpers are apparently produced with a standard sleeve length, and small/medium/large/extra large/xxxxxxxxxxx large (or whatever we're up to now) just means that they change the length of the torso slightly while keeping the arms the same standard length. Dickies workwear do a "tall" sizing across a lot of their stuff which is great for lanky people like me, long arms long legs and proper long torsos on everything, and it lasts quite well even on jobsites, let alone casual wear.

It doesn't need to "work" when it serves as a clear message of "disagree with us? vocal about it? We will try to ruin you then".

Ratjaculation posted:ALMOST 20 YEARS ALWAYS IN ARE HEARTS I have clear memories of walking down to the corner shop as it opened- it was run by an elderly couple and they were replacing yesterdays papers with the new. The little old lady pointed out the previous few days of tabloid headlines, which essentially read "diana is slutting it up with a BROWN! on a YACHT! DIVORCE! SCANDAL! EXCLUSIVE PICS! " and contrasted them with the "PRINCESS OF ARR HARRTS! DEAD! SO SAD!" that just came in. I got some very nice cherries and a babbys first lesson in how scummy the media can be that day, one of those memories that really stuck.

Someone just post that bit from the road to Wigan pier about eating some chips as opposed to ryvita and carrots because it, like the bulk of the rest of the text, hold up just as well now when talking about poverty then- especially the social/cultural connotations inherrent as opposed to trying to directly link class to income alone, or in this case, diet to income. PS lentils are very important as without them dhansak wouldn't exist.

Fangz posted:I'd rather the government spend on asteroid defense than ~fighting terrorism~ My ou tutor did a bunch of research in this area and said the main problem was in that as soon as someone can deflect an asteroid away reliably, you can also knock one onto course with a pesky city or subcontinent, and no one wants to start an arms race on that so no one funds anything approaching what would be needed. Which is a shame because using nuclear shaped charge laying bots to ablate volatiles in the rock to propel it directions was pretty rad sounding. You could even theoretically get a nice big rock and hide a mahoosive nuke in it and slam it into the sun real fast and finally stop trump tweeting. Fund science. It solves problems.

Trump is a dangerous, narcissistic, bigoted cockwomble who utilises hate and greed relentlessly to achieve his goals. Perfect date, excellent compatibility with the British government and press, who are excited to learn more about his "drop all thinly veiled pretences/dogwhistles and just go full fash" approach. It's not going to look pleasant in the history books but not much will for this era. Might get a good protest or three out of it too.

It doesn't matter who is in charge of the labour party provided those controlling the media are opposed to the policies labour intend to introduce. Such vested interests aren't suddenly going to give positive press to ideals and ideas they have spent decades of time and effort disparaging- no matter how well presented and prepared the PR team are, or how eloquent and charming the politician is. Doesn't matter, as that won't be what features in the press, so that won't be what the public sees. They will see a nerd eating a bacon sandwich, or socialist jam grandad. They will mercilessly attack and degrade any threat to the system that benefits them. That's their job, and they get better at it all the time. Media bad.

mfcrocker posted:I'm pretty sure that won't hold up in court, Theresa. She doesn't care, provided the can is kicked further down the road and the tabs aren't screaming treasonous betrayal. Dollars to doughnuts, a mail acolyte is right now churning out some bollocks about how it's a brave move to protect our sovereignty, probably pulling stock images of "migrants" under which to stick "government fears a lack of action could lead to eleventy million bulgamanians in your town".

Do you work for your wage, or do you own the means of production and use that to steal one from workers like a loving parasite? Because that's all that really matters, "class" got turned to useless tribal bullshit- utterly divorced from economic conditions to the point where it's a useless descriptor that means something new to everyone.
