mila kunis posted:I hate the Guardian a lot. Is there an actual good place to go for UK news? You're posting in it. Purple Prince posted:I mean my old CLP was mostly pensioners because they have a lot more free time to campaign but sure. Capitalists are free to stop being capitalists whenever they feel like it, and thereby escape the guillotine.

Purple Prince posted:If by 'capitalists' you mean 'anyone with a private pension', then sure we can force pensioners back into work, but that doesn't seem very left wing. Don't be wilfully dense. Nobody's coming to murder your gran for the crime of having a pension in the form of private investments. Nobody's proposing taking those investments off her and then leaving her with no form of support beyond the suggestion that she just get a job. I don't know who this post was even for.

Purple Prince posted:I disagree, because the reason Marx talks about the capitalist and proletarian classes in Das Kapital is to look at the economic system of capitalism. In Marx's day, absent the social democratic measures we have now, it was easy to separate the two classes. But that separation is not about having a small capitalist class against a mass of workers, it's about identifying the conflict between the classes. Ok cool so you're deliberately muddying the waters, thanks for clarifying. The above post is just the  version of

Smeef posted:Cummings has a broken brain. I read some of his posts going back. It seems like he had a bad experience with UK bureaucracy (I can confirm firsthand that professional interaction with UK bureaucracies can break brains). His solution is to burn it down and rebuild it as fast as possible by giving carte blanche to a bunch of theoretical physicists, coders, master mega-project managers (who rather paradoxically he also thinks do not exist), and other esoteric technical types who have zero relevant domain expertise. So he wants to do a Tesla on the civil service, basically? RIP

Jaeluni Asjil posted:As I was away and off news for a few days, and as the US have started changing the story about what happened in Iraq to bring about the assassination of QS, it's getting harder to discover what really happened. My (admittedly muddy) understanding is that Iraqi citizens (who were either involved with or supported by Iranian militias) were protesting outside the US embassy in Baghdad. About what, I'm not certain, I wasn't paying attention early enough to catch that. It was definitely reported as a protest at first though.

The only way this looks at all cyberpunk is because the shots presened contain concrete, crates, dirt, and what appears to be some flavour of Eastern bazaar. e/ the real life year 2085 will probably contain far less neon than anyone imagined, one way or another

Unkempt posted:Baywatch didn't start til 1989. I'd had about 5 computers before that. Yeah, the bit about computers is the standout anachronism, everything else is fairly consistent. My family was always somewhat behind in technology but even we had a beige box in the corner of the dining room that could play solitaire.

A Buttery Pastry posted:Well, there are cufflinks too, and necklaces are certainly accepted in some cultures. Anyway, I'm kinda disappointed none of these people seem to have even attempted to wear a literal crown. Like, what the hell are you doing, that's like the ultimate symbol of what they're trying to present themselves as. A crown draws attention to the head, and suggests the neck  thespaceinvader posted:(Also wedding rings are acceptable thank gently caress, but any other ring definitely Raises Questions. I stopped wearing my other ring, but mostly because it doesn't fit all that well and it kept falling off, I kind of miss it, I made it, it's nice.) Rings are fine, stop hanging out with fragile homophobes. e/ or with your boomer parents, who will flip the gently caress out if you put anything on your left ring finger if you're not married.

I've been consistently £100 deep in mine for the last year, I keep almost getting out and then a surprise expenditure pops up. Time to go back to eating instant noodles for a few months I guess.

thespaceinvader posted:yeah IIRC this one was full screen and didn't easily allow tabbing out, but didn't account dfor the fact that you could just have another browser open in another screen. I recently saw someone on twitter comment that the hardest job in the world is being unemployed, and it's really couldn't be more true. No actual job I've ever done has stressed me out or crushed my spirit so thoroughly as looking for work does. Pesky Splinter posted:Not quite the same thing, but when I was unemployed the DWP managed to put me on a computer course to get an actual qualification - I've been using computers since I was about 8, but didn't pursue any ICT above any mandatory GCSE level - although I think they cocked up because they enrolled me on a course for people who had literally never touched a computer before in their entire lives. FYI this wasn't a mistake, that's literally the only IT course they have. The DWP don't offer any kind of training above the absolute most basic level, because if you had any skills at all you wouldn't be out of work would you, you worthless piece of poo poo?

Saros posted:All the Jobschat makes me think there should be a UKMT jobs aggregator or something (maybe on the discord?) The company I work for hires regularly and is a decent place to work but there's not really anywhere to post stuff up around here and the thread moves fast enough stuff just falls off. I'd be interested in that, not least because I'm looking for a career change. Feel kind of wasted where I'm at.
