I am looking forward to how vaccinations will be handled, as well as a mix of celebrities and people you sort of know giving valuable insight into how safe the vaccine is. Queuedown '21crispix posted:he has looked exactly the same for the last 20 years so could be true imo

With the world beating track and trace system: What's happening with it? I don't venture out much, but I've not seen any signs for it anywhere, places that had it have now taken them down, nobody I know talks about the app besides one or two people ITT saying they ignored it as they have been playing disco elysium all month. Seems especially ridiculous now that we're getting 50k new cases a day and schools are being forced open tomorrow and children don't have to wear masks. Even during the famous Blitzkrieg they had fun masks  I know the answer to all of this is that the government are malicious, greedy poo poo heads that think this won't affect them personally so why bother, but the difference in reality and public relations is getting so extreme I'm struggling to comprehend how bad things are. I'm seeing it dribble down a bit in my managers at work stopping furlough from tomorrow and bringing everyone back to the office, people refusing to believe coronavirus is real etc etc. Its as if aliens had visited Earth and started to hoover up people and in response people just shrug and start talking about Strictly Come Dancing

I like remembering that I liked comedy when first watching it ten or twenty years ago or so and not revisiting it because its either problematic or poo poo anyway, whats the point. Nowadays I just sit around laughing at anything.kingturnip posted:Just got a text telling me that due to a high rate of people calling with Covid symptoms, the e-Consult system is being turned off for my GP practice. I'm dreading any inconvenient yet painful injuries over the next few months. My entire house is a Final Destination style trap, but rather than dying just an ear gets cut off. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ErxKDbH-iiI

What happens in Scotland usually happens in England a day or 2 later - Full National Lockdown (except schools) If I was still at school I'd be furious at still having to go to school whilst everyone else is dicking about playing League of Legends and I'd be potentially giving covid to my family. Not like they give a gently caress about school meals, travelling in Europe or anything like that - but aye, chuck everyone into school during a pandemic so they can learn by rote how to pass an exam thats a few years away.

I struggle to understand the thinking of the authors of articles like this - not just the stupid 'things should be worse actually' takes - but that they are obviously going to get looked into within minutes of the article being posted to see how big a hypocrite they are. Guess someone else should have been picked for that scholarship because this lad has poo poo for brains

Gonzo McFee posted:They're getting paid and the people paying them don't give a poo poo and the majority of the people who read it won't find out hes a massive hypocrite. I had forgotten nobody cares about politics until it affects them and only reads the headline to confirm what they think anyway  looking forward to see who embarrasses themselves on my street by clapping this evening. I am guessing 1 person will half-heartedly give it a go, shout at people to come out, then go in as other neighbors pop their heads out wondering what day it is.

a few artists have tried to create makeup and hairstyle that fool facial recognition technology, but I think they look more like noise pop bands from 2008

I just like cheap, instant coffee, 2 spoons, bang, you've got a coffee. My mate has this £600 coffee machine and sends me photos of coffee he has made and talks about various beans from different places, but I don't really give a poo poo. Any sort of chat about fine dining or artisan foods are what I dislike most about food and drink because it feels like gatekeeping or snobbery and "ohhhh you need to try this". I just like £1 frozen pizzas and a cigarette for dessert

Jakabite posted:Anyway, The Social Dilemma. Who's seen it? What did we think? I thought it was more interesting than the average Netflix doc, but from what I remember had a habit of making out these tech companies as if they were puppet masters or had opened some Pandora's box or something - which is true to an extent, but I feel more of the fault lies between smashing together human psychology and advanced communications technology within a capitalist construct. Part of what I enjoyed about the internet before social media was that it was much more anonymous, so on the one hand there was much more stuff that was offensive, but on the other there was less interface between the virtual and the real. Even seeing a photo had put up of themselves felt a bit taboo as there was such a separation between the two. Over the last decade, as things have become more integrated through smart phones, 24 hour news, social media etc. we have ended up with a sort of cyborg society though rather than body modification, its just the ephemera of thoughts that become cybernetic. I feel like after you've been on the internet long enough the novelty wears off, but we exist in an arena where people are logging on for the first time whilst others have been on it for decades. With newer people (who are going to skew older or younger) I think you can be more likely to take internet activity more seriously, either through poo poo posting and trolling to having your mind reprogrammed through an hose of never-ending garbage ('fake news' just means 'the internet' really). Personally the internet lost a lot of its lustre, the same arguments keep happening, the grifts are obvious, and I just find reality more interesting and dont feel inclined to merge the two - though I still fall for dumb poo poo now and then. tldr: we are smart enough to invent world changing technology but too stupid to know how to use it

I think England is too diverse a country to just think 'England is poo poo' - what do we mean when we say England? Is this concept pointed at white, right wing middle class people? Second generation immigrants? People who have been campaigning for civil rights all their lives? Highly educated people? People who dropped out of school? Northerners, Southerners etc.? I've said myself 'gently caress England', but I really mean, gently caress UK politicans, the media and people who accumulate wealth by doing nowt. I feel for everyone trying to get by, and even if they have political views vastly different to mine, as that is more of a symptom of how hosed up the system is and designed as such rather than them waking up one day and thinking "I'll be a oval office".

I had a housemate who has recently moved out and isn't responding to my messages to pay his half of the bills. His name was on the bills. Can I do anything except ask him again and maybe do a small claims court thing?

BurningCourage posted:(Source: Do work at a CAB and just checked our stuff on liability for energy bills) Thanks for all the advice thread! I feel I'm hosed really, but thought it worth asking (both our names on the bill, I've paid it and asking them for the money) - I'll keep hassling him anyway

When I was younger my mum would skip meals so we could eat, and the tiny bit she got in benefits mostly went to paying off debts my dad had racked up on credit card bills. But we also had a telly so I guess we should have sold that so we could have paid the debt back quicker.

It's a shame people are less religious as they have just shifted christian concept of being rewarded for suffering onto working in a call centre rather than a metaphysical relationship with God. Maybe in 500 years people will look back on this period and look at all our art and culture and not get in because its all a bit

TACD posted:I admit my weekend drinking may have effected my language skills I've noticed over the last few weeks I've been struggling to spell certain things or getting stuck finding a word I want to use. I hope its more of a case of laziness and not writing as often rather than my brain rotting, but its the first time in a long time I've had to sit and think about how something is spelt/spelled.

Conservatives really value that 1p okay, its basically their whole reason for existence. If they didn't value that 1p that makes them no better than a hummus-guzzling guardian reader and they can't have that, its been hard enough 'keeping things C' during lockdown.

I've noticed it too, a strange sort of insistence for optimism no matter what and people who are usually the type to have maybe shook their dad's hand once are suddenly energised with wanting to hug and kiss everyone around them. I've also noticed, in my more peripheral friends, a sudden focus on absolutely ridiculous goals - from someone selling their house so they can live in a van to another friend wanting to climb Mount Everest before the years out (with no climbing experience whatsoever) - its as if being in lockdown for a little bit has had a massive effect on people so that this year they are driven towards ludicrous plans and life-changing decisions because 'that's what this years all about' That in itself pisses me off as there's plenty of people who, for a number of reasons, can't leave the house much or have access to different buildings or opportunities to meet with people they know on a normal year. But you stop someone from going to Wetherspoons for a few fridays in a row and they act as if this is the worst thing to ever happen to them

Jose posted:lol see all my experiences are the exact opposite and this comes off as naval gazing to me The first time I did acid it was visually very trippy, but I also decided to do it alone so ended up lying in bed having some funny introspections. After years of therapy, medication and other stuff, 2 good tabs of acid and a pot of tea worked the best. MDMA was also good for socialising and learning how to be less introverted, though I did too much and now I can't even think about the taste of it without gagging.
