First reports are all over the place. So far, BBC reports a van hit about 5 pedestrians who are being treated for injuries (doesn't seem like any fatalities at least), and the driver got arrested.

Flayer posted:I live in London and so do my family. My sister was locked down during the Westminster attack and earlier this evening my girlfriend and I passed through London Bridge. We often shop in Borough Market, we've eaten in Brindisa, we've been to Katzenjammer. There is a very real possibility that people I know and love could be the victims of Islamic terror. You're a disgusting individual telling us that we are we are more of a danger to ourselves than these monsters are. I also live in London and could be the victim of a terrorist attack, but honestly, it's just statistics. This kind of emotional outburst is exactly what the terrorists want, and I'm not going to give it to them.

Instead of, you know, the terrorists having guns and the casualty list being 10 times worse

learnincurve posted:I know I'm late to this discussion but I was waiting for the ghouls to sod off before reading the thread. "shoot-to-kill" is actually redundant - the first thing they teach you in gun safety is that you never ever ever point a gun at something that you don't want dead, and to always shoot center-mass. There are many reasons for this, but really, shooting someone's knee off only happens in the movies. Guns are for killing, there's no way around it. The only decision to be made in using a gun is whether to use it or not, once you decide to point it at a human, it's to kill that human.

in this is that modern terrorists use texts and the internet so much that they no longer need to actually talk to them to get the information they need, and a nice clean execution avoids giving them the publicity of a trial or the possibility that they will continue to operate within prison.

Mr. Flunchy posted:Just read this somewhat doom-laden article about the next five years in general and was wondering what people here thought of it: Relax, I seriously doubt it's going to be that bad. The economy might get hit, unemployment might rise a bit, but in the end this is still one of the strongest economies in the world, it's going to survive somehow. Still, it's always good to save some money just in case, especially in times like these, so if you haven't, maybe start now.

Zeerust posted:I have a friend who is a civil servant who gets really weird about this as well. He earns more than minimum wage, but under £10/hr, and feels like his work would be devalued if his pay doesn't increase proportionally to the new minimum wage. I can't really wrap my head around it, I'd be loving delighted to be earning that much. I remember reading about this study once, where they basically asked people to choose between two options: (With spending power remaining the same, etc - also I don't remember the phrasing exactly) 1) You make £100k, everyone else makes £200k 2) You make £50k, but everyone else makes £25k Most people chose option 2 Pochoclo fucked around with this message at 23:06 on Jun 11, 2017 |

From the study:quote:A: Your current yearly income is $50,000; others earn $25,000. And from the conclusion: quote:In our survey, half of the respondents said they would prefer a world in which they have 50 percent less real So yeah it's all about being better off than others.
