it's great that italy was such a clear example of the dangers of inadequate virus reaction three weeks ago and from what i can tell other european countries basically went "sucks for you lol, won't happen to us"

They also went, racistly, "everyone in Italy smokes, is old, and Continental kisses their entire neighbourhood a million times everyday, so of course they've all got it".

There's something grimly amusing about the papers reporting "biggest rise in cases/deaths EVER" every few days as if its a discrete event completely separated from everything beforehand. Media's always had a short memory, but its almost instantaneous now.

Must be easy as gently caress even easier as gently caress to be a journalist right now.

Yeah, but what about all the other diseases, and car deaths, murders, yoof stabbins and cannabis overdoses? Add all them up and it's probably more than corona, so what you worried about? :smuggo: (I've actually heard a less exaggerated version of this)

Can we get a boomer version of smuggo? Maybe combine it with "this is fine"?

I have a very important question.

It's clear to everybody that Pot Noodle have been defrauding us all for years with regular sized sauce sachets in king sized pots. But clearly they're not going to change course and redress this injustice right now, so my question is: what happens if you squirt some regular tomato sauce into a beef and tomato pot noodle along with their special sachet of sauce?Does it work? Or do they have a special formula of sauce to be mixed in hot water?

Asking for a friend.

People get upset about any type of critical theory that hits too close to home though, like with the whole
"games are tru art and should be treated as a part of our culture"
"okay then, let's apply some basic media crit to gender and video games, remember, this doesn't mean they're bad or that you're not allowed to like them, we're just discussing themes"
"feminism is a cancer, I will rape you"
shitfest.

I wonder if this is because for a lot of people the word "criticism" has been corrupted to include only negative criticism, when it should actually be an analysis of both merits and fault. But then it's also because a lot of people are so insanely thin-skinned about the things they like that if you pause to think about, e.g, games for a second, then you can't just be viscerally enjoying them at the basest level like they are, which is... bad somehow? This last bit is something I've never understood - why and how someone's personal enjoyment of something is diminished by the lack of it in the next person :shrug:

Now that the big-brained, perfectly dry centrist is in charge, the clamour over antisemitism will lessen up for a bit, but I wouldn't be surprised to hear it trotted out against anyone leaning left. They've proven its effectiveness, so they won't shelve it forever

It's not quite true to say that nobody reacted to Eamonn Holmes' stupid loving 5G comment - the woman he was interviewing enthusiastically agreed with him that we shouldn't be taking the media at face value on the matter, but then went on to denounce the antenna vandals. So the overall message of the bit seemed to be that 5G actually might be related to CV, but that we shouldn't be smashing up 5G masts anyway. loving surreal

What are they saying?

I know a lot of Marx and Engels' stuff on Jews looks pretty loving bad today, but given the former was himself Jewish I generally tend to assume that a lot of what they're saying looks significantly worse to a 21st century reader than was intended. But who knows, Engels' stuff on the 'savage races' did not age well either. The 1800s were a hell of a time!

They? It's an abridgement of Marx's work.

Marx, not me, don't ban me posted:

What is the worldly religion of the Jew? Huckstering. What is his worldly God? Money.…. Money is the jealous god of Israel, in face of which no other god may exist. Money degrades all the gods of man – and turns them into commodities…. The bill of exchange is the real god of the Jew. His god is only an illusory bill of exchange…. The chimerical nationality of the Jew is the nationality of the merchant, of the man of money in general.
