What.

I'm saying it's low effort, not gentle, Mustafa is taking random posts and replying with "actually...yuo are the real sexist here" it's so obviously bad faith that to respond at all is to lose, your energy is better spent elsewhere lmao

This is a mostly good thread I like lurking in during commutes but responding to these people either with effort posts or "gently caress offs" doesn't work, probes and bans do

This smug boomer "in my days we called it SUMMER" weatherposting on Twitter might be the thing that pushes me over the edge and gets me banned, it's infuriating me to a level that no other stupid gammon twitter opinions have before

it's like being given your final cigarette, your blindfold put on and being led to the wall and hearing the guy next to you say "well I got hit by a BB gun once and that didn't hurt so I don't know what you're worried about"

Came here to post about this, came out of a union meeting earlier, whole lot of people upset that the proper process wasn't followed (only 2 of the 4 UCU heads were about before the decision to pause was made) and employers were given more notice of any of this happening than the union members lol

I'm trying to be somewhat optimistic that the decision was not made lightly and some real progress will be announced this week, but atm all that's floating about is a minor payrise in 2024 and some rollback of the pension fuckery that happened, with nothing to speak of the 0 hours contracts and increasing workloads lmao

I don't know how this applies when they're looking for a majority and therefore can't just court the premium Workington Man voter. There are enough centre left and left people who'll keep voting for that garbage, I suppose. So actually yeah it does apply.

Most of my centre left friends and family are still going to vote labour, I've heard it all from "even Blair did a few good bits", "he's just trying to get the centre right/working man votes and then will enact Real Leftist Policy when in power" and the ever classic "at least they'll be better than the Tories (no I can't explain how)"

a whole lot of "what are you going to do? NOT vote labour???" and getting mad at me for just being completely checked out by this point,

What does intent matter, the food stamp system is insane and defending it sucks and should be mocked

The entire conversation stemmed from agreeing that this country has a massive failing when it comes to providing for it's most needy, calling someone a poor hating Tory councillor is an insane response for someone's (misguided imo) idea of a solution

The entire conversation stemmed from a disagreement about whether money or food stamps was better. Money is always better because any attempt, even the rare well intended attempt to gatekeep the assistance people get causes more harm than it solves. Direct cash assistance is better. Even if some percent of recipients immediately use it to buy drugs and o.d., money is better.

Again. Slowly. Gatekeeping assistance for the poors own good causes overall more problems than it solves. It is also an inherently toxic mindset and anyone who suggests it, even if they really do have good intentions, should be mocked.

Honestly I completely agree, for every ""abuser"" these means tested systems stop, it makes accessing that help more poo poo for everyone else who needs it, not to mention the time and money it takes to develop these systems, it's a waste at every approach.

Dev work is probably somewhat of an outlier in that you can be incredibly productive just by figuring out how to do poo poo on your own. It just requires a certain amount of stubbornness and willingness to deal with all the dumb poo poo.

I dunno how well that is going to apply to other professions/skills. I cant imagine there are that many hobbyist accountants out there.

Yeah, I did a non computer touching degree, got onto a post-grad "we'll find you a job, your employer owes us 20k so you get a poo poo wage for a few years while you 'contract' " style job after uni, and the vast majority of actual learning you do is figuring out how the people before you did it and some clever googling
