Bobby Deluxe posted:The fact that the front gate looks very similar to our local barracks makes me wonder how well a chain of army resorts would do, where you and your gammon family get to pretend you are in the army, get screamed awake at 6am and then are dragged through a day of training. I think most of the people who enjoy the idea of other people having things like that happen to them would baulk at the idea that they need to wake up early.

It says something that my folks, as liberal as they are, don't seem to like the Royal family. Maybe there is a reason I ended up like this.

Jel Shaker posted:panic how? they’ve got three years to build a strong opposition to win the next GE I think a lot of it is performative. This is the thing so many people desperately want to be "smart" and think that being sensible tm is an easy route to that. It is the sort of thinking that a lot of people go in for even if they can't quite explain it, and then they will justify it because feeling otherwise is making them feel bad about stuff.

Trying to do the whole "we will wipe away the stain of Histories Greatest Monster Jonmondly Cordnym" and then 1) Not being able to and 2) Not able to pull in any flag shagging voters, just leaves you looking like complete twerps, who knew.

ThomasPaine posted:Went to Aldi today, totally riddled. People standing around nattering in the aisles with some pal they've bumped into. Huge family groups with like 5 kids running amok. Maybe I am being unreasonable but the most annoying people of all are the maskless dickheads with their sunflower lanyards. I would have some small measure of respect for someone just refusing to wear one and fronting it out, but the way they proudly show off their super special snowflake permission slip from the teacher really really gets to me, as if to say I'm the rear end in a top hat for getting frustrated with them and they need everyone to understand just how fragile and vulnerable they are and how everyone needs to be super nice and considerate to them. gently caress off, there is not a single condition on the planet that prevents you wearing a bit of fabric on your face for a few minutes, grow the gently caress up. There are people with one lung and COPD who need oxygen just to get up a flight of stairs who manage. It's totally bizarre to me that any medical professional is indulging this garbage. Some of my work colleagues have hearing loss, difficulties breathing and panic attacks when getting their mouths covered due to claustrophobia. The fact that you going: "these loving swots and their loving "special permission slips", gently caress them" is the exact same emotional response as someone going 'FLAT SCREEN TV AND A FACKIN' HOUSE" about asylum seekers. This is one of the essential flaws of everyone I think, but is something I see a lot of. The idea that someone, somewhere is "getting away with it". It's understandable as we live in a cruel world without justice, but it isn't always fair. Josef bugman fucked around with this message at 18:58 on Mar 7, 2021 |

ThomasPaine posted:Nope, which honestly is why I'm venting my frustrations on the internet rather than actually yelling at strangers. I'm very aware that I am likely being unfair or irrational. I'm just so loving tired of all of this. Being tired of [the situation] is okay, but it's still very based in the idea that disability is something you can just "turn off" as long as it isn't losing a limb.

stev posted:The mood in this thread absolutely plummeted after 2019 and the final hope-crushing. It's just been getting steadily worse since then - no one has much to be happy about right now and probably won't for a while. Pretty much. I've mainly moved to the discord because its a better place to just chat because there is precious little I can do atm. Also whoever bought twisto the lovely av? I try not to get cross but please just gently caress off.

Comrade Fakename posted:So the whole "the crown should leapfrog Charles to William" idea is pretty established. What's most interesting about all this stuff now is that William's brand is also being tarnished. I think the latter thing is going to be the most interesting. If it had leapfrogged to William a decade ago things would be rosy as gently caress for the royals. Now I am not half as sure. I mean, in this instance, it's actually something I am pleased about because I hope the whole lot of them piss off, but it's interesting at the least.

Salisbury Snape posted:Why wouldn't I care about the safety of women? As a man with a mother, sister, wife and daughters I very much care about the safety of women. If the only reason you can think of to give a poo poo about other people is their relation to you, then perhaps you shouldn't opine on other people's intent. Do you also feel like you are being "silenced" when told that things are not an accurate read? And as a follow up question, what is wrong with being an activist?

The idea of what constitutes healthy and sickness that can be applied both universally and particularly. I suppose that, if one were to drill down deeply enough it becomes "to find meaning".

Barry Foster posted:Why find meaning? Why is that preferable to not finding meaning? Because it is required to have Meaning in order to justify Being. I would personally argue that we cannot simply Exist as we are. It's such a ground level state of my own understanding that it is hard to really put into words.
