Gyro Zeppeli posted: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've got no patience for that kind of silliness. It's "fewer".

Also I suspect he didn't think it would be very believable when he talked about the pain of being known as 'curry club' and 'guest ale' when working on the Telegraph culture desk. that's exactly how sheltered and sensitive the average journo is though

Wow, I forgot just how different the first couple of Discworlds really are. It reads like the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy but fantasy, only Rincewind and Twoflower keep forgetting which of them is supposed to be Ford and which is Arthur. There's the character inconsistencies too, especially with Death, but that's more like just a sub issue of the whole character of the books being different. The shift in Equal Rites is immense, even if Granny's only 80, 90% nailed down to what she'd become later.

Also twitter keep censoring him so lol. That was the point of it. If a load of mail in votes come in and flip the election for Biden, he can try and claim it's all rigged.

Bit late but I happen to know that the trolly locks M&S use can have the coin tray popped out with the end of one of their plastic zip ties. Rectangular slot right next to the tray, shove something long and thin down there and fiddle around till it goes click.

the only person I've ever encountered myself who seemed genuinely incensed about circumcision was an MRA who was also trying to claim MRAs weren't misogynists and rejecting any and all investigations into the issue because they were done by feminists or used feminists as a source or had looked at a feminist at some point other than that, only that one Silent Hill wiki admin

stev posted:I haven't read or seen it but Mortal Engines sounds like the ideal scenario. while the idea of giant city-vehicles driving around the blasted wasteland of England is a fun one from a distance, the one book I've read was mainly about the horrific Victorian-esque class division with the poor living down below in the guts of the thing and being made to work on the engines and risk getting maimed or killed while the rich swan about in the hanging gardens of london on top, so, maybe less ideal and more slightly worse than what we already have.

ThomasPaine posted:E: my uncertainty about describing what's happening as 'ethnic cleansing' is that it just seems to make no sense. There are active Uyghur members of the CCP. The language is a recognised minority language. There are dedicated cultural institutions to promote Uyghur culture. All of these things are controlled by the party at some level, but that's why I tend to think its more a heavy handed response to separatism. That's not good, obviously, but it's not exactly ethnic cleansing. That would be like having the Third Reich have Jewish ministers and recognising Yiddish and making Hannukah an official holiday - it just seems absurd. ok so first, this isn't a remotely valid comparison, the nazis had "wiping out the Jewish menace" as a central tenet, possibly the most central tenet, of their ideology. and second, yes, it's all officially written down and recognised, well done, how wonderfully easy that makes it to find them

Just to say, praising China's response to the virus isn't praising fascism by definition because China isn't fascist. Horrible, yes, authoritarian, yes, but not fascist. Also being authoritarian actually puts you in a pretty good position to deal with a pandemic, fascists then gently caress it up because they're incapable of admitting the virus is a threat that they can't just be Strong at.
