And then there's God of War, in which the main character repeatedly tells his son to keep his expectations low, and then when I looked to see if there are any good quotes, apparently he won the previous game based on the Power of Hope. So I guess the moral is, even the mopey fucks saying not to hope are actually more hopeful than the rest of us, deep down, but are just being edgelord posers.

XMNN posted:Matt Hancock says he backs any police action against Neil Ferguson I keep seeing variants of the chart in that guardian article, and it confuses the hell out of me. It has lines for the UK and Italy, and then a separate line and a red circle floating above the chart itself, but not actually connected to anything. The text implies that the circle shows the current total death toll, but why doesn't it join the line (other than "it would look bad for the UK")? What are they actually trying to elucidate??

JeremoudCorbynejad posted:The only interpretation I can think of is that it's the chart's key, indicating that the UK death toll is represented by the red line Thanks to you and the others for joining in with the head-scratching. Thing is they had the same style of chart the day before, with the red circle way above Italy's figures presumably projecting for the next/current day as well, but then it didn't seem to match up with the next day's chart (in the quote). I'm sure they'll have another one tomorrow that manages to somehow put our deaths below Italy's (if we're not all too busy talking about poly otters).

And now Boris has said 200,000 by the end of May, so it's guaranteed they're going to stuff an extra 150,000 tests in envelopes on May 31st to hit the target on that one day, call the job a good 'un and have the media praise them for hitting the target yet again.

big scary monsters posted:Unless there's been new legislation while I wasn't paying attention there aren't, but there's a popular idea that you're limited to one hour of exercise once per day. The government seems to believe this despite them writing the law that doesn't say that. I think it's just Wales that specifies people could only exercise once a day, so all this means is Bojo was telling Wales that it's his rules that apply to the whole country. Even though it doesn't work like that.

It's funny, this last week loads of people have been joking "okay I can't see my parents, but if I put my house up for sale and invite them around for a 'viewing' THEN it's okay", when in fact according to the govt's spokeswoman all you had to do to be able to visit your family is simply to contract the virus! And while most sensible people were thinking having a highly contagious virus meant you should be quarantined, it actually means you can go wherever you want (as long as you're a Tory, obv). DC won't even get kicked off of SAGE for this.

It's a shame for Shapps that he comes across as a generally decent guy - it means that whenever the government has to send someone in to appeal to the masses following their own fuckups, he's at the top of the list. We should all get used to seeing him on these interviews.

Was the man who had a years long anti-semitism smear against him sabotaged? Yes. Ah but you see Corbyn failed in the end so everything they put out about him was retroactively true and even if it wasn't it was justified because he did so badly. Why yes I do love the smell of my own farts.
