Eschenique posted:Okay but can we agree that if say....PM Corbyn cancelled Brexit. Labour's current policy (as decided at convention, please correct me if I'm wrong, I'm going from memory here) is that whatever deal is negotiated by a Labour government will be put to a Remain vs. That Deal referendum. It seems clear to me that if Remain won that referendum, the govt would revoke a50. I don't think it's particularly meaningful to ask what would happen if a Labour government did something it's pretty much said it won't do.

OK so - free parking works well until people abuse it. There are lots of other things that work the same way; the mugs and coffee pot in the break room, for example. I choose to believe that nobody intentionally abuses the coffee situation or never takes their turn at washing up or whatever. But people do fall into bad habits sometimes. Usually, in the coffee pot case, they can be rehabilitated with a polite "please wash your own dishes, it's rude not to". At what scale does that kind of, uh, societal/social reinforcement stop working? Why can't we put up 'please don't park here' signs and...go on with our lives? Writ in the extreme, is it just that people don't see with their own eyes the people they're hurting that allows them to participate in exploitative systems?

And to continue the cooking analogy - it helps you appreciate what you do and don't like, and what's hard and what's not, about other people's programs.

Aphex- posted:I'm a QA tester and have been trying to learn to code for the past year in quiet periods of my job. I'm learning Python and have written a couple of simple automation scripts. I'd love to get into development but it feels like learning to code is such a slow process. I also don't feel like I've actually learnt much, sure I've written scripts and things that work but it's mostly just finding similar pieces of code by googling the problem, pasting them together and modifying them slightly until they work. late reply but lol this is exactly what 95% of coding is

WhiskeyWhiskers posted:That doesn't say ban it. That says create the conditions for sex work not to exist, despite the necessary continuation of work as a system. Also arm sex workers and let them kill johns. This comment indicates that you hold as a value that sex work should not exist; that sex work not existing is a desirable state. This is not a value you share with the people arguing with you here.

I don't understand why these new developments need sufficient road & parking provision for everyone to have a car. Surely expanded public transport would be a better solution? (this does not mean that adequate provision for necessary utilities like water & sewage & electrical & internet & schools & parks & GPs does not need to me made; I just don't think private vehicle ownership is an essential utility)

so....on the housing question again. What would Labour do to ensure that the new builds are up to snuff, quality-wise? I mean, there's just no way to meet the demand the manifesto would put on an industry that still wants to build things out of solid masonry. e: also the eco-friendliness aspect

That song is trenchant social commentary on inter-provincial inequality in mid-late 20th century Canada + the capital conditions that lead to that inequality and besides there's no ethical art under a resource-extraction economy like Canada's Anyway the Mary Ellen Carter is way better https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fhop5VuLDIQ

willie_dee posted:How else do you deal with someone with a knife who isn’t dropping it? this is wrong. the use of firearms in public places is wrong. Many other solutions exist; you could, for example, throw your billy club at'em. Or keep people away and wait the knife-holder out. Escalation of violence is cowardly. e: Bape Culture posted:Simply expose your swords which have been carefully hidden inside your xxxxl imitation leather trench coat and talk the attacker down using logic showing there is no god. One simple tip from dozy depressed dipshits that the police don’t want you to know about!!! Which side are you arguing, here? if you're cheerleading willie dee, you should gently caress off.

willie_dee posted:but if that’s not possible then it’s on the offender. oh so now it's the guy's fault he got shot please, please, look at what you are saying. Ask yourself why you are privileging the lives of police officers over others. Ask yourself why your posts are attracting so much negative attention. Change your mind, it is wrong.
