I'm not even particularly rural, only about 20 miles from Glasgow, and yet the only food delivery app we have out here is JustEat, which isn't even strictly the same as something like Deliveroo or UberEats, cuz it uses the restaurant's drivers. I just want to have McDonalds delivered to my house, dammit.

I know when I wreck a flat, I make sure to remove the windows from the frames completely then only hit them once. Or hit the door with a hammer only once and no more. Or leave the expensive fridge completely alone because it'd probably be the most expensive to replace.

On a train ride from Glasgow to Derby via Preston, me and two friends, around 18 years old, finished off a 1L of Jager between us. Don't do that. I can't even remember what Preston looks like.

goddamnedtwisto posted:I'm thinking more of the Good Friday Agreement commitment to keep the border open - checks, even if they're cursory "Is this milk or is it white lead paint?" glances at the border, are a breach of the GFA, which was the whole point of all of the finagling and chest-thumping over the last few years. I wonder if the Big Brains are thinking "Hmm, what if we made the Irish the bad guys breaking the treaty and not us?" This is 10000% the Tory plan right now. Just throw the entire pile of poo poo into the air and when it covers everyone, blame RoI for not handing out umbrellas.

Regarde Aduck posted:We're in the 'believe our own lies' stage where they think they can stop the acceleration of infection while people have to go and work in buildings. Going back to work in closed rooms was never safe. They lied but have no idea what to do. I just wonder whether they are nihilistic and don't care or are panicking and just assumed we'd have 'something' that would make things better. Some treatment that meant only the weakest would die and gently caress them. Remember, the Tories work on the inverse Hanlon's Razor. Never attribute to stupidity that which is adequately explained by malice.

Guavanaut posted:I still find it wild that Chernobyl killed less in immediate industrial accidents, short term serious health conditions, and long term loss of QALY than a coal plant of the same capacity running normally for the same amount of time. And that 90% of the Exclusion Zone is less environmentally inimical to life than London Zone 1+2. I was a horribly morbid child who loved reading about industrial accidents, and whenever Chernobyl comes up, my favourite game is getting people to estimate how many people died as a direct result, then seeing how long they follow me saying "Less" each time.

I feel like the past decade of more-or-less unemployment I've had was like training. See, the trick is to get really into Dark Souls and takeaway food. The weeks will fly in. I do miss my ritual of going to the cinema/art galleries/museums though. Without those, I leave the house maybe once every month or so. And I absolutely appreciate the irony of posting this at 4am.

Red Oktober posted:Hitman 2, and the fact they remastered the original to run on the new engine are so absolutely amazing that it's honestly worth buying windows so you can dual boot it on your mac to play. That's what I've done and I've clocked up an insane amount of hours. And the third one, due early next year, will do the same with the two preceding games, creating a definitive edition of the trilogy. Hitman is so loving good.

Danger - Octopus! posted:It is almost comical in the ridiculousness of how much is being piled on young people to endure. I can't imagine anyone late teens is going to come through this thinking that the government and institutions are anything other than a joke. I'm 27 which obviously isn't young at all, but as someone who was in high school as the 2008 recession happened: It loving sucks. Outside of like, a few months at a time of casual work when it pops up, I've been unemployed for the best part of 10 years. The best way I can summarize it is the line from Peep Show: "There weren't any jobs when I didn't want a job, and now I do want a job, there are like, NO jobs". The idea of "entry level" positions don't exist anymore, you either already have an in with an employer or you're on the dole. And it's only gonna get worse.

In maybe the proliest statement I could possibly make: I save Iceland for Christmas where I go and ram my entire freezer with party food and make it last well into January. So I can at least vouch for the quality of Iceland's wee sausage rolls.

Cutting free school meals is a great talking point to get people against the Tories. Because it's such a straightforward, uncontroversial bad thing, there's essentially no way even the redtops can spin it as a Good Thing Actually. Like, you don't need to spend time explaining the context and doublespeak to the man on the street about why it's a bad thing, it's literally taking food out the mouths of starving kids.
