If you want some lightweight frames the really cheap small own brand ASDA ones are remarkably light and you can get them for like a quid each or something. They look nice too. Come with the little raised border to put around your art to make it looks dead posh.

Do you have a fusebox instead? I figured they'd all have been retrofitted with breakers now if only because having to keep a supply of fuses is annoying. And also people are tempted to jam bits of metal in there if they don't have a fuse. Generally it's near your electric meter, or in a cupboard somewhere, often under the stairs. Basically if the electric goes, where is the box you have to fiddle with to make it go on again? OwlFancier fucked around with this message at 19:29 on Apr 1, 2020 |

Is it really a breaker box if it's not covered in mysterious labels that might be abbreviations, might be be listing the progeny of Abraham, and at least three of which refer to elements of the building that, to your knowledge, don't exist and never have?

Bardeh posted:I'd legit go and pick some strawbs at the farm near my house (apparently 400 quid a week if you're decent at it) but my boss says we're not allowed under our furlough conditions. So some bosses want to make sure people are busy when working from home because they can't abide paying people not to work, but your boss apparently can't abide the idea that you might be working while they're paying you. Y'ever think maybe bosses are just control freaks?

You can still do both. The china/other countries comparison is basically an ideal example of something where the big and horrible state is actually very useful, and the complete collapse of anything resembling competence in wstern states is itself a kind of crisis. State capitalism might be poo poo but laissez faire capitalism is looking like it might be just fundamentally incapable of functioning at this point, as it's on course to produce eye watering levels of unemployment, massive economic collapse, and a giant pile of bodies in the process, and Hungary is illustrating that it is also fairly prone to collapsing into just actual fascism at the drop of a hat. But hey, it produces iphones. I mean China produces iphones but we invented them! Or rather we created the culture that drives demand for them which is definitely a good thing. #worthit OwlFancier fucked around with this message at 03:09 on Apr 2, 2020 |

It doesn't matter whether you believe in electoralism as long as a lot of other people do. Saying you don't believe in it is like saying you don't believe in money.

Failed Imagineer posted:No that's not a workable analogy at all. Elections are a cause and outcome of people believing in electoralism, and money has the same relationship to capitalism, maybe. You can easily disbelieve in electoralism and capitalism and it matters, while simultaneously accepting that money and elections happen and are important to the understanding of what is currently construed as society. Yes, but your lack of belief in them does not mean you can stop participating in them, because your participation is enforced, you can not op out of the the product of electoralism, your lack of vote is not a protest, it is a tacit acceptance, functionally. The order of society does not permit you to protest or opt out, any more than you can opt out of money.

Chucat posted:If my vote is pointless to the extent that even voting in the most micro level election possible has me losing horribly, then how is that different to not voting at all? Because that's also true if you win, the chance of any vote mattering is virtually non existent, but that idea being so prevalent (and the resultant lack of engagement in politics) is a major source of political dysfunction. You live in a society whereby any form of political interaction (or non interaction) you do has basically zero chance of mattering because that's the nature of existing in a world with millions of other people, but the desire to simply not engage with it is a primary method by which power is entrenched at the top.

I mean I guess I could have lived like that and been happier about it but that's not because of living like that it was just depression, having got a bit of a handle on that I'm 100% fine living like that and if I had an ideal it'd be to graduate to slightly more grown up toys like machine tools and house renovation.

Isn't "died with" or "died after" fairly normal news phrasing for people who clearly die of things because that way they don't have to commit to anything as strong as a causative relationship between terminal cancer and people dying? Just usual news being loving cowards.

I get why they do it, but it only further breeds the utter contempt I have for the snivelling little parasites that work in journalism because all they can ever do is cringe and simper about how it is that things keep happening and we can't begin to say why. Just the absolute worst, most detestable form of human communication ever invented. Guavanaut posted:Yeah but it becomes political when it furthers political goals. Oh yes of course, again as above I don't at all dispute that it has an effect on the world, just that it's more of an institutional thing than a thing that's being wheeled out specifically for this.
