WhatEvil posted:https://twitter.com/WhatEvil/status/1157028410398584832?s=20 This guy puts so much energy into describing the shittiest kind of chips. "OK we're going to fry these potatoes now but for some loving reason you don't want the end product to be greasy or crunchy in any way and it's basically like eating a bunch of boiled potatoes with a weird skin on, because we hate things which are fun to eat" Also I reject any world where you can't put at least 2 of those chip toppers on at the same time.

I hope yall have seen this loving amazing thread in LP. It's pretty close to what I imagine the UKMT would be like if you turned it into an RPGmaker game and replaced polls with baseball.

Pistol_Pete posted:A lot of my work colleagues are pretty Tory-leaning and THEY'VE all been: "wtf, why is this loving clown our PM now?!?" My boss has a gigantic authoritarian streak and it's hilarious seeing the conflict between his desire to worship Boris for being ~the prime minister~ and his distaste for most of his actual policies

https://twitter.com/PJAxemurderer/status/1157476263138877442 This is a hideous tragedy but also lol that the big tough cop has to use his gun to protect himself from a medium size dog and fails spectacularly plus murders someone at the same time. Also the sheer level of disdain he has for the woman's safety and wellbeing is quite impressive E: 30 is the number of shots it takes an idiot with a gun to kill your pet Also uh content warning I guess since someone gets literally shot to death in this video even though you can't really see anything

I'm enjoying Wren-Lewis being gradually radicalised by centrists frantically flailing to the right every time the vague possibility of a left-of-centre government existing rears its head

ThomasPaine posted:The whole CW debacle is really exposing some of the fault lines in the contemporary 'left'. I'm not certain it's right to outright attack either side here as both have a point (crude class reductionism is bad, so is misunderstanding the unique importance of class at the conceptual level) and that's just handing ammo to the right, but I really do feel like it's important to emphasise what class analysis and class consciousness actually is, and more to the point show how it actually complements intersectional struggle rather than sidelining it. Problem is that class actually is an identity in as much as the social concepts of "working class" and "middle class" exist outside of the actual economic classes of workers and capitalists, hence why you have people thinking that Jess Phillips is a big loving working class hero for having an accent

Josef bugman posted:Doesn't anyone ever go "maybe I'm wrong and an idiot" why have we made it so hard as a society to go "I may not know this thing/ be able to have an opinion on that"/ Admitting that you don't know something is showing vulnerability, something that most people are taught from a young age to not do. It is really weird though, I've hosed up at work on a couple of memorable occasions and apparently most people don't really know how to handle the situation if you say "I did <thing> and it was bad, how can we make this less likely to happen again" rather than trying to defend yourself. Like yeah I hosed up it happens if it's super terrible then I guess I'm unemployed now, otherwise let's improve things? Having zero sense of competitiveness or shame does have its perks.

I was feeling pretty depressed seeing Swinson on the news earlier at work (any time a tory gives a speech it makes me die inside a little) but getting home and finding out that almost everyone else who opposes no deal actually said that it was a good idea (or at least "well I suppose we have to") really made my day. Obviously this didn't get a peep on the BBC.

Guavanaut posted:Do they even theoretically have that? My boss is a slavering authoritarian, like he legitimately thinks that society is and should be broadly heirarchial and he loving loves the royal family to the point that he got visibly upset when the rest of the office agreed that the UK national anthem is poo poo. He's not even particularly into the royals as celebrities but he is probably incapable of ever thinking that opposing a power structure can be good. He hates Putin for example but always makes a point of talking about what a "strong leader" he is and how this is a very good thing but isn't it a shame that he isn't a nice Tory instead of a filthy Russian.

Soylent Yellow posted:Get a Boonie hat. They're lightweight, easily wide enough to keep the sun off, and you can stuff them into a bag or pocket without wrecking them. And you're more likely to be mistaken for a fisherman or tourist than an MRA. This is a good call, between a boonie hat and a beanie you're covered for most weather situations, mine has gone through some fairly heavy rain without letting water through and it cost a few quid and spends most of its time folded up in a bag with my other hiking gear.

The only thing I really like about this weather is I can go for a run at 6am and it's a fairly pleasant medium warm to cool temperature but it also makes it really loving hard to sleep good enough to actually get my rear end out of bed that early It's also great for swimming outdoors I guess
