forkboy84 posted:I noticed there is absolutely bollockloads of Silent Witness on the iPlayer so I've started watching that & it's quite fun. I think it's everything from season 4 onwards? Cheery episode about a helicopter going down in the North Sea. Best episode is when tall-handsome Doctor has been flirting with a police officer loads, and when they go on a date she gets suddenly taken out by a bus. So he goes back to the office, tells his co-workers that she's dead, and they all sit around having a nice game of cards because they're emotionally crippled from dealing with horrific murders all day.

Only about half the things they said could be considered "jokes" meant to make people "laugh" and that's if I was being generous tbh Hilary Ambivalence Syndrome is pretty good, mostly because they accidentally stumbled into a left-wring critique of Hilary.

The Question IRL posted:So the commonly accepted notion of Dualism is that you have National Law and International Law. International Law by itself has no use at a practical level, so it is incumbent on the country to translate International Law into National Law. Ahhh, thanks. Now that I understand it: ahaha lol what a dumb-dumb

Guavanaut posted:Then again the US also had a go at Adele for dressing up for some kind of virtual Caribbean carnival event and accused her of cultural appropriation, which led to a bunch of Jamaican and Black British people responding that Carnival is for everyone as long as they're participating in the spirit, and it's not loving blackface, so there's obviously some very different debates going on there. Did this happen beyond the half-dozen nobodies on twitter that the press searched up and ran stories about? Same as the calls to cancel Rick and Morty, to cancel Gavin and Stacy, and pretty much every PC outrage story ever.

Surely there must be something massively incriminating in there if the company thinks "oh we're fundamentally incompetent and have no records" is a better alternative. Or they think they can pin everything on this one guy.

You're also gonna drown the next time it rains. Our political class is obsessed with the idea that being willing to incinerate hundreds of thousands of people is the mark of a true leader, but under the logic of MAD isn't this kind of the right answer? You can't say you'll never use them because then whats the point in having them, but if you say "oh yeah I'll totally use em, and i'll strike first" like May did just encoruages your hypothetical enemies to nuke you first. The only appropriate response is "maaaaaaaybe" and to wiggle your eyebrows.

Guavanaut posted:Is it that time again? There's probably some fancy cinematography term for this, but why is the camera always moving in the opposite direction to the action? Every time the dwarves are going down the waterfall the camera shoots up, if they're being washed away right the camera lazily bobs left. It feels half-drunk.

Borrovan posted:The Pratchett thing looks fine imo, not a lot of dialogue in the trailer so it looks like it could turn out just embarrassing, but it's explicitly a "reimagining", of course they've hosed with everything unrecognisably, that was the point. Pratchett doesn't work well on screen anyway so I don't see the problem of trying to do something different For all the stuff they gently caress with, they nail a lot. Female-Vetinari was pretty good, Angua has great weary-cop energy, Cheery looks great etc. I'm still cautiously optimistic.

This seems a relevant time to ask: is there a good summary of the actual content of the various Brexit agreements that have been floated, scuppered, re-floated, overn-packacked and finally taken out back and shot? I think I'm faily political aware, and I can't keep track of what's actually going on beyond theb kacground of "traitors! EU refuses to budge (on things we may have already agreed)"so I'm not going to blame Brexiteers for agreeing with it un-critically.

TheRat posted:Aren't most actual SUVs pretty much designed to kill other people in traffic in an effort to keep you marginally safer? I think about this whenever conversations about self-driving cars come up. There'll be papers in AI and philosophy journals about oooh the ethical complications of a car that has to choose whether to swerve to avoid the pedestrian or ensure that the driver is never at risk of injury. But those decisions are already being made! They're just baked in to the design of the car rather than the logic of the computer.

Did Loomer have an almost identical awful-meal-but-competent-poached-egg picture a few weeks back? Is this some weird signal? Are poached eggs the new ok sign?

Ban cars except for people with mobility issues. Swamp the streets with free buses and cycle lanes instead. Vans are permissible for tradespersons, and can be hired at a price that's low enough that people can afford one for a day or two (e.g. to move house) but unfeasible for long hirings.

Jaeluni Asjil posted:And what the gently caress is so bad about that that he should have to retract it? I guess it's the 'overstated' bit. Which it was, overstated. This bit: quote:“One antisemite is one too many, but the scale of the problem was also dramatically overstated for political reasons by our opponents inside and outside the party, as well as by much of the media. That combination hurt Jewish people and must never be repeated. Lets ignore Sam Matthews blaming Labour for him not doing his loving job, or uh...whatsherface reporting 200 people for antisemtism, 90% of whom weren't labour members.

"compliance is violence" i assume is him riffing on "silence is violence". It's got to be a deliberate part of his schitck of dropping loads of racist dogwhistles and the acting like the PC woke brigade are coming after him despite him being totally not racist at all, no racism here.
