I've been in an argument since yesterday with a (presumably soon to be ex) friend of mine over that Corbyn tweet where he asked Branson to return the money he sued the NHS for. The absolute loving highlight was him saying it was bad of Corbyn to "punch down" by castigating a law-abiding private citizen, I poo poo you not :v:

So what I'm getting from these proposed border solutions is that we're leaving Europe very briefly before we get annexed for trying to immediately invade a member state :v:

When the left punch someone it's :frogsiren:

political violence :frogsiren:

, when the right punch someone it's a perfectly understandable response to the atmosphere of political violence created by the left.

Also, hope you get seen soon SMGT.

Also, also, solidarity Azza, I'm exactly the same when it comes to sliding off "basic" theory :v:

See, this is something that kind of bothers me with modern progressivism in general: "You want to know? Figure it out yourself! *later* No, that's not it at all you idiot!" I understand this derives from people arguing in bad faith but how in the hell do you change people's minds like that? You're just going to get people who are already primed to do the legwork while the racists are all too happy to dump Muslim rape statistics or whatever on people who have no opinion one way or the other. Are we really moving towards a future of "preach to the choir and shoot anyone who does not accept what we say on faith" on all sides?

This reads like something you'd see your dad post on facebook a couple of weeks before "you might as well just be racist since you're going to get called a racist anyway".

If youmfind that the way you interact online commonly has that effect on other people, a moment�s self reflection could be in order.

It doesn't but just lol at this, which I can't read as anything other than "stop calling people out for racism if it upsets them".

Or a replacement dad.

I'm open to offers :v:

AceOfFlames posted:

I am not going to become a racist if that's what you're wondering. I just don't understand how anyone can live in a world where you have to decide what is real based on what you feel is right. I personally feel like empathy and tolerance is right but I would much rather support these feelings with facts as much as possible.

First off, "live your life without facts" is so far from the point that was originally made it's loving staggering that you ended up there. Secondly, "I feel like empathy and tolerance is right but need facts to support that" makes it sound like you're one well-labelled pie chart away from supporting cruelty and intolerance.

I think he gave up on Wipe because he knew he'd get loving crucified for doing centrist takes. Remember 2016 wipe when he pined for the days when people would say "meh" instead of being angry about politics? :v:

CGI Stardust posted:

tbf by staying out of politics and the public eye, by and large he's avoided doing the standard old comedian thing of turning into a vocal anti-Labour transphobe. Unless he is, of course, and I missed it.

If his personal politics are dodgy, he's at least shown a degree of self-awareness that almost no other comedian/media personality has :v:

I want to give him the benefit of the doubt - maybe he just realised that modern satire needs to be more than just "angry man opposes everything" and called it a day. The only genuinely angry tv satire these days is New World Order and even that sticks a half-hearted boot into Corbyn every episode for the sake of "balance".

Also the guy who famously asked Peter Molyneux if he was a pathological liar and was quietly moved out of regular writing duties at Rock Paper Shotgun afterwards.

Didn't he found RPS? He absolutely is a total loving oval office on twitter though, last time I saw him melting down he was exclusively hounding women who replied to him, like some kind of anti-glinner :v:

Did he really do the budget section in PC Gamer though? I thought that was Jon Blyth? Edit: it was Walker, my apologies to Jon Blyth lol

I like that there's people on the right side of things doing this stuff, because we need more left wing voices and perspectives basically everywhere. But I always feel like the comedy feels forced in a lot of it, to the point where it dilutes the message, and instead of biting satire you get a comfortable laugh track and people making funny faces

Yeah, I'm not gonna slate them because they're clearly on the right side of that issue but it's just someone telling me things I already know while doing the occasional poo poo aside. It reminds me of that Stewart Lee line: "Was it funny? No but I agreed the gently caress out of it".

Yeah, that's still a bit twee at times but it's much more vicious and he's at least arguing a point that probably a significant portion of the audience don't agree with by default.

All right, all right, it's taken over 15 years of Camrath nagging me but drops of water wear away a stone. Here I am. I am his friend who's been having issues with the mental health system. There have been some developments (also a few of Cam's original details are, innocently, a bit inaccurate). If there is interest, I can expand.

I am also advised that I should confess that I don't eat chocolate oranges, or chocolate at all, as part of my gritty smack battle to lose some effing weight. (She says, remembering Camrath's home made fudge guiltily)

Welcome aboard, sorry to hear about your shabby treatment.

I have a friend who's making a PIP application because she suffers from Graves Disease (thyroid thing) I'm not entirely sure of the details, but she said that she had been accepted based on her own circumstances twice, but denied due to the fact her girlfriend earned too much? I'm not sure what I'm asking for here but I just wondered if anyone could share any experiences theyve had or point me in the directions of any resources I could use to help her.

PIP definitely isn't means tested and your friend should get in touch with your local council's welfare rights office - they should be able to help with the application and also with the inevitable appeal when the company doing the assessment lies about how she was double healthy. :smith:

Maybe if we get to Trek levels of technology sure but come on, wouldn't living in freaking neo tribalism forever and only thinking of your own survival just get boring? Heck, even if you fixed health care, inequality, fake news and fascism today (which would be fantastic and better than corporate dystopia) wouldn't you get bored if Facebook were still the same 40 years from now? What would you even do in the mean time?
