Lid posted:Compare with how layered the schools and political realms were, and the schools only got one season filled with children! The school season does have the problem that Ed Burns, David Simon's writing partner and former teacher, presents his plan to deal with "unsocialised" children and basically says that the schools are either incompetent or corrupt to not immediately implement it everywhere. Even though his plan is just to have a separate class for these kids that teachers put them in because they "just know" that it would be best for them, a plan that seems like it would go awry pretty loving quickly.

The Sorting Hat is the true villain of the Harry Potter books. Voldemort would never had any supporters when he returned if that loving hat hadn’t drafted a quarter of British wizard children into the Hitler Youth. It enforces a bullshit caste system on children that we are repeatedly shown has effects into adulthood. gently caress that hat.

That Boomer Economics video was very interesting, but also very frustrating. The guy giving it is literally partially responsible for the problem he's outlining and he just acts like it was a huge surprise that it worked out this way. And his solution manages to be both ludicrously unworkable and pathetically below what is required.

Even putting his crimes in Ireland aside (and we really shouldn't do that), it's weird that Cromwell is lionised here because he was also terrible for Britain. He was a brutal military dictator who was every bit as bad as any king, and even handed power to his son when he died. He was so terrible that they actually brought the monarchy back when he copped it. If he hadn't been so poo poo we'd probably be a republic now.

So Trump had his Tulsa rally and it was a complete disaster. The arena was less than half full, Trump’s stream of consciousness was even worse than ever, and he casually mentioned that he actively gave orders to test for COVID less so he wouldn’t look as bad. But there is a relation to UK politics: it seems that US teens purposely hugely inflated the ticket requests online (tickets were free), causing the Trump campaign to believe they might have as many as a million attendees. So they set up an overflow stage for the seething throngs who couldn’t fit in the stadium to watch Trump. Nigel Farage was due to appear on that stage. The entire overflow show was cancelled and dismantled as there was no overflow.

It's totally possible to migrate over to a new forum. NeoGaf had a similar thing a few years ago where the owner turned out to be a sexcriminal, so a bunch of them started Resetera, and the whole thing pretty much carried on as normal, with the added benefit that most of the chuds stayed behind out of rapist loyalty.

I’d be surprised if SA completely collapsed. This kind of thing has happened to forums plenty of times before, and they usually get through it in one form or another. That said, if the end really is near, I will say that this forum, and this thread in particular, have been very important to me. Things have actually finally been improving for me a little in the past year or so, but for large amounts of the time since I joined in 2012 this has been my primary, sometimes only, form of socialising. So thanks to everyone for helping me in that time. Also, that Jess Phillips has her own logo on that video. Just imagine being that narcissistic.

Nothingtoseehere posted:I don't know why anyone is expected any SCG labour MPs to do anything other than bide their time. Their leading lights are those who stuck to their guns during the whole of Tony Blair. And as Ronya pointed out, the most viable path for the Left back into prominence is let starmer dig a hole till they can call s leadership election behind a figurehead and try to takr back control of the party before the next election. Resigning may fit your moral purity, but it's not going to increase chances of a left wing labour party heading into the next election. No, they should leave so we can finally achieve the dream of no socialists in parliament whatsoever.

I suspect Assange is just a man who is simply incapable of accepting they were wrong about anything. Facing the music in Sweden would have been an admission of fault, even if he vocally declared his innocence, so the preferable choice was to actually perpetrate a worse punishment on himself. That he could claim persecution by the US government (you know, the one he helped elect) just reinforced it harder.

The Tories just murdered tens of thousands of people in an attempt not to disrupt businesses in the country too much, so I suspect that they will settle for what is basically a soft Brexit with some minor concessions (that the EU get way more in return for) and the Tory media will largely herald it as an unmitigated triumph because the only paper left that actually wants hard Brexit is the Express.

Guavanaut posted:It never went through the alarmingly fast casual to slur treadmill that it did in the UK, and also afaik they didn't have charities calling disabled people the full term as a noun, it was always an adjective like 'spastic colon'. I'm fairly sure spazz, or spastic as a thing to call someone is originally a UK term. I think they got it through 70s/80s punk culture.
