It's really obvious we need a new party. Labour is done. But I get that any plans for a new party would take time. Hopefully the wheels are at least in motion.

Guavanaut posted:It's quite funny in a Brexit context as IIRC, there's some debate about where the Northern half of the country begins for political purposes. It’s Yorkshire upwards if it’s about concessions, it’s everything north of London if it’s about how awful northerners are. Edit: just realised you’re on about Macedonia. Oh well.

Depends how 'turning on brexit' it defined. I don't think people are going to be happy with how Brexit turns out. But I have no idea if anyone even remotely to blame is going to take the brunt of the ire. Brexit the idea isn't the same thing as Brexit, the thing that's about to happen.

I've had enough of left-wing parties throwing minority voices under the bus at the first opportunity, that's why I left the loving Labour party. How are you getting that from his post? Things never got past ‘talking on social media’ stages. You didn’t leave labour because of the mere possibility that Keir’s regime was maybe might be poo poo. Edit: well this is awkward. To be clear I’m focusing on the perception that he wasn’t taking it seriously. I appreciate that the situation is tense and that this country is a dumpster fire of TERFs and worse.

Darth Walrus posted:Even if the vaccine is easy to tweak, this still means you have to restart the massive, laborious process of getting it out to the whole world once it is tweaked. You have a much shorter period before your current vaccine stocks become useless, which is a logistical nightmare, and if you start getting outbreaks because, say, Peru still mostly has outdated vaccines, and those outbreaks accelerate the mutation process, then... well, you see where I'm going with this. Considering there was always a chance this would end up like the flu where you have to get the vaccine every year I assume the logistical frameworks are going to remain in place so it's not like a complete restart. This depends on how short sighted different governments are being. Biggest danger is the pharma industry getting too greedy and making everything non-viable. Then we get deus ex and the vaccine turns into ambrosia.

Vitamin P posted:We've just had a historically unprecedented media event in that every establishment force united to stop a lefty, an unexpected consequence of that is that Boris et al were held to to even less of a standard than a Tory candidate usually is. Does anyone actually disagree that Theresa May would have been a significantly better leader for this moment than Boris is? It feels like any other country would have hit a state of massive unrest by this point. Like the weird apathy of the British public is integral to how we got here. I'm not calling for violence. I'm saying there is, at a systemic level, no actual mechanism out of this other than violence. I just don't know how much is by design or how much is just corruption and failsons.

forkboy84 posted:There's always been a bit of the green movement that is very NIMBY and small c conservative. Habitat disruption is real and 1 tree can matter depending on where it is, how old, type of tree and the biodiversity of the local area. The line being right there next to the remaining trees is a disruption itself. This is assuming the tree in question is part of a ‘wild’ bit of forest or land that could have biodiversity value. If it’s just a group of 8 trees next to afield then yeah whatever.

Sanford posted:Our local country park has taken 25 years to turn from a former opencast site to a massively diverse habitat used by hundreds of people every day. Now it's getting a "northern spur" rammed through the middle of it. This year has led to lots of people discovering the great countryside around us just in time to see it destroyed. There's no wrong way, it depends on what you want your character to be. If you want a Sherlock type mindpalace super detective you want points in conceptulisation, visual calculus, logic and so on. Do you want a stressed out artist type? Points in conceptulisation, electrochemistry, shivers. Dale Cooper? Inland Empire, Espirit de corps, Shivers. It's not really about winning, it's about what you want out of the game. If you want lots of Lynch style magical realism then pick the related skills. So there's no way to make a bad build but you could make a personally disappointing one.

Before anyone worries it's a very focused story so you don't get to actually do anything really vile. It's more the dumb thoughts that you'll come up with.

Also first paragraph states how we 'now know nothing can stop the spread' as if we really tried. Motherfucker we're here because of capitalism. Goddamnn getting mad at tonty blare in 2020.

Vitamin P posted:Brave. [[Spoiler warning]] That’s projection. You can play a number of ideologies and the game then presents realistic pitfalls to each. If those pitfalls are insurmountable to you then too bad. Get a better ideology or at least a better mental fortitude. The games response to racial theory, for example, is the Semenese supremist. A minority that has internalised the ideology of his oppressors in order to become one. This is a real thing that happens. The game doesn’t judge this character. He IS strong and your only methods of dealing with him is to beat him at his own game, superiority of strength, talk it out and sacrifice your own integrity or work around him altogether. None of these routes result in him changing his own ideology. He never gets his comeuppance in some childish bit of wish-fulfilment. So what do you take from this? If you went in thinking racial theory types were bad, and I hope you do, then you won’t have changed your mind in the end and the character certainly hasn’t changed his. For a ‘masturbatory’ game this is remarkably evenhanded. Like the real world it doesn’t revolve around moments of perfect clarity and reckoning. The bad man will never clutch his head, screaming ‘I was wrong about everything’, before falling from the gantry. His faults are only what you think they are. The game does not judge him. It presents the scenario but does it with enough verisimilitude that we, as leftists, find it darkly humourous. Every other ideology is treated similarly. The moralists (neoliberals) talk big but do little, watching as the poor get poorer and the rich get richer. They offer stability and do provide it but at great cost. You could absolutely agree with them in the game. You could agree that stability trumps all. The game won’t try to make you feel any worse than supporting the other factions. The communists? Most in this thread, me included, obviously gravitate here. But they’re presented again in a brutally honest fashion. In game they are represented as a well meaning but practically extinct force. At least in present day. During the revolution they crushed the workers between the artillery of the neoliberal coalition and their own, ensuring mass death and self destruction. Dogma ever the enemy. In the present of the game the current issue facing this faction is the ever growing weight of failure. The ideology itself is pure and good, but it always fails. Why? That’s up to you. I don’t see how this is masturbatory to ‘chapo leftists’ because the message is very much ‘we’re never getting communism but we endure’. The game indicates no benefits to this ideology other than what you come up with yourself. It does show you the ever mounting pile of bodies. I think the reason the game is like this is because you’re not playing an ideology. You’re playing a person. A deeply flawed person like the rest of us. He shouldn’t ever be reduced just down to what ideology he is or whether it’s the most correct one. One day the entity formally known as Harry lost his mind and identity and something horrifyingly glorious is happening. He is about to awaken and if he becomes a neoliberal during that awakening is really not the point. Regarde Aduck fucked around with this message at 03:29 on Dec 24, 2020 |

Perhaps a hamster posted:Happy Boxing Day, UKMT. Spent most of yesterday sleeping, recovering from work, and today got around to performing some filial duties and calling my dad. This is similar to my situation. Thing is my dad used to be a very understanding and friendly person and mostly still is. It's just everything seems to make him angry now. Lots of perceived slights to national pride, which he never really used to have. I read somewhere that outrage can be addictive. Like any other feeling, outrage is caused by chemicals in our brains and apparently you can become addicted to the precise ones responsible. I wonder if it's that simple. Got angry at something one to many times and now has to be angry all the time.
