If one person with a square foot kills all the other holders of squared feet, do they automatically obtain the title and can they combine it to actually become a real lord and get a castle and stuff?

'we really want to show you but we might lose our job' is the weakest poo poo ever when you're a journalist. Like you wouldn't be set for life with that kind of scoop. The actual issue is we don't have journalists anymore.

Dabir posted:The story of Mountains of Madness might as well be "aliens find the journals of Southern plantation owners documenting the revolution". The Old Ones' writings tell a very good tale of the Shoggoths being bestial and unintelligent and talking in a grotesque parody of their language and all that, but we only have their word for it. Of course, H.P. Sauce's viewpoint character believes it implicitly and is scared shitless by the thought that something non human might still be alive down there. Shoggoths came up a lot in his stories and they were invisible and rowdy

endlessmonotony posted:There's an additional very severe problem, OwlFancier. This seems like an issue with how everyone is rolling out the vaccine though, not just the UK. Isn't the only way to ensure you avoid this scenario to basically wait till everywhere has enough vaccine and then try and give it to everyone in like two weeks? Because that isn't going to happen.

Endjinneer posted:It's relevant that case numbers have been increasing despite lockdown conditions that would previously have been sufficient. Rather than holding back vaccine stocks for a couple of weeks to administer as second doses, the plan is to throw a needle into every available arm in the desperate hope that it does some good. There is evidence to suggest decent immunity from one shot, at least in the AZ trial because of how they hosed up. As for 'no benefit' i'm not a doctor but that seems unlikely. The lack of a reinfection wave points to a decent level of lasting immunity in people that have had actual covid, combined with the stats that say 1 does goes up to 90% efficiency after 14 days. I'd say the bigger issue here is 'will it actually be 12 weeks or do we just not get the second dose'. If they can change the dose regimen this late into the game whose to say they won't do it again. Like fine, it's out of control and now we wait 12 weeks for the second dose, but we really have to get that second dose. There can't be any more delays.

Bobby Deluxe posted:A good motivator I read about was reframing the question from 'I should do the thing' to 'when am I going to do the thing.' It feels more resolved. There's weird rules that stop a lot of self employed people claiming anything other than the one off loan. Claiming dividends I think was a common one.

stev posted:They need to just bite the bullet and adopt the NZ model where no one gets in and those that have to get in are forced to isolate (rather than just asked to). Variants aren't automatically an issue. The real problem is if the new variant is vaccine dodging. Which they seem very blase about considering the vaccine is all they've got beyond incredible damage to society. Like they've got their out, their solution which doesn't involve actually challenging the order... and they are risking it because they're such fuckups.

Pistol_Pete posted:Re: the developing Zero-covid campaign - I've been struck to see the right-wing press already gearing up to attack it, which I think is really interesting: You haven't identified the real issue. That there won't be anymore lockdowns and anyone over 50 or with comorbidities gets sent to 'special' 'treatment centres' that don't actually have doctors. You get put on a ventilator or CPAP and maybe you'll ride it out but if you crash you crash. This removes the one thing they couldn't ignore, hospitals being overwhelmed. In such a scenario we might get 'lucky' in that a new industry begins with covid only medical teams and bing bong, covid is monetized.

It may also be an attempt to frame what Rashford is doing as 'good capitalism'. Look what the rich powerful guy can do, this is how welfare should be. Always remember how Tories and their voters are huge proponents of charity because it keeps people from getting too angry but also is an implicit refusal to fix the problem.

Convex posted:https://www.theguardian.com/law/2021/jan/17/jonathan-sumption-cancer-patient-life-less-valuable-others This whole thing is so dumb because it's removed life expectancy from the 'quality of life' equation for the very people he claims to be supporting. Part of the 'good' things about living in these times is that you have a pretty good chance of making it to old age and, barring any major illnesses, most people think this is a good thing. But this guy is suggesting that at any time this can be thrown away to protect the 'mental health' of the younger. But this means those younger people now have to think about the fact that every year the age the less their life is worth and some dumbfuck lord is going to decide to sacrifice you for the NEW younger generation. Does his criteria for 'worth' mysteriously line up with how much you benefit capitalism?
