As you'd realise if you spent 1 nano-second thinking before posting but I assume your brain is so atrophied that even days of the week are too much for you to wrap your head around.

Venomous posted:oh hey that's a funny way of spelling 'Grey Area by Little Simz' and/or 'Schlagenheim by black midi' Schlagenheim was really good but 6Music are doing a top job of putting me off it by playing the opening track all the loving time. Radio playlists are dogshit and should be destroyed. I have no idea what my favourite record of last year was because there was too much music for me to listen to everything. But the first thing that jumps out in my head was King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard's Infest The Rats' Nest. Which was the weird Aussie psych-rockers doing a thrash metal album about climate change & it was dope. Also, while I'm here, Live & Let Die is the only good Paul McCartney post-Beatles song. Despite Bond themes normally being as crap as Bond films. forkboy84 fucked around with this message at 11:35 on Feb 2, 2020 |

Think Your Queen Is A Reptile was 2018. It made me want to listen to more modern jazz but then realise that I have no idea where to find the good stuff unless it's Bandcamp's blog.

Simsandwich posted:https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/scott...nowing-his-age/ Yeah, I mean, it's The Sun. I'll give it credence as anything more than run of the mill homophobia from a shitrag when it's coming from a source moderately more believable. And yes, Joanna Cherry is probably the favourite to replace Sturgeon now, though her being at Westminster would be seen as a black mark. Unfortunately her being a TERF shitbag would not be. I'd not be shocked if they end up with John Swinney caretaker run & then Angus Robertson becoming permanent leader after winning a Holyrood seat.

Niric posted:This x 1000. He's got excellent politics, is a lovely bloke and manages to generate genuine enthusiasm amongst activists (especially younger ones), which no Scottish Labour person has managed in a long time. It's going to loving suck when Jackie Baillie wins despite being one of the most detestable, arrogant grifters who entirely personifies the miserable state of Scottish Labour in 2020. These stupid cretins just seem incapable of learning from 13 years of miserable failure (& tbh the rot set in before the 2007 loss). Which loving sucks because if Scottish Labour wasn't a corpse of a political party 2021 might actually be a chance to make some gains, between Derek Mackay, the Alex Salmond trial coming up and the general stagnation that comes with one part being in control for so long. Alas it'll probably be the Liberals & Tories who make gains if the SNP do fall back.

Jippa posted:I'm down with building the Eiffel Tower. See, this is another argument for the bridge to the Mull of Kintyre: shorter, not having to go across an munitions & nuclear waste dump, & it'd give some long overdue spending on the road & transport infrastructure between that remote part of Scotland & civilisation. Make it a double bridge so it does rail & road, hell, make it a high speed train while you're at it. You could put in further bridges across Loch Fyne from Tarbert to Portvadie, then maybe from Tighnabruich to Bute, then you could hop from Bute to Great Cumbrae to Largs or from Bute back to the mainland at Knockdow and then another from Dunoon across to near Gourock. I mean if we're fantasy-booking an infrastructure project that isn't going to happen at least end up with a positive like making it possible to ignore the Rest & Be Thankful for as many people as possible because it's a hellroad

Ash Crimson posted:I could be wrong, but even if every seat in Wales and Scotland returned Solid Labour MP's we'd still have a conservative government, even if it was a minority one. If every seat in the south west returned Labour MPs we'd still have a Tory government. If every seat in the north east etc. etc you can get the idea. If every Highland seat returned a Labour MP/MSP we'd still have a SNP Government at Holyrood. Should teuchters get independence from the rest of Scotland? By all means argue for Scottish and Welsh independence if you want (I'm probably voting Yes if we get another indyref) but you need a less shite argument than this because it's silly

Why is this okay when Because the Welsh aren't a horribly persecuted minority group despite what you seem to imagine. Also if you're learning Polish and Irish in school in Wales then that is cool as hell because the grand sum of languages taught in my high school were French, German, Gaelic and Spanish but Spanish was only available to 5th and 6th years. And not many people took Gaelic.

marktheando posted:I've said this before ITT but my dad was given corporal punishment for speaking in Scots in school. Not sure what exact amount of oppression is required for independence movements to be acceptable to the UKMT. I was under the impression that doing the whole 'oppression olympics' thing where you say 'oh group X is not as oppressed as group Y, they should shut up' was not cool. My mum got the tawse at school for sitting in a row that the teacher decided to punish at random, I'm not sure that's an argument for Scottish independence as it is against corporal punishment. Not to mention that corporal punishment hasn't been a thing in schools for 4+ decades so not sure this logic works even on it's own flawed terms. forkboy84 fucked around with this message at 15:40 on Feb 11, 2020 |

I'm not being facetious, I don't get it. Doesn't seem like a particularly offensive way to put it, seems more value neutral than "commits suicide" for example. The insensitivity will be the way the media cover it, completely ignoring the Samaritans helpful guidelines for talking about celebrity suicide.
