forkboy84 posted:I saw her on Marr over breakfast yesterday and gently caress me she's a non-entity. No charisma, no presence, no ideas, no ability to read the mood of the electorate, just nothing. Of course, she attended the same school as Michael Gove (Robert Gordon College in Aberdeen), love that meritocracy. The Irony being that the other fee paying schools in Aberdeen hold Robert Jordan's in contempt, and the University doubly so regarding the jumped up technical college.

u brexit ukip it posted:I don't know exactly what a smart meter can and can't do, but my main concern would be whether it can send live readings. When (not if) the power company gets hacked, somebody can then essentially see remotely when somebody is or isn't home, since that correlates pretty well with power usage. Monthly reads are optimal for small scale tracking like a single domestic supply. Half hourly data is only required for large scale operations which can burn a ton of power out of hours if the BMS isn't set up correctly.

Tesseraction posted:Joe Biden has aphasia and a stutter, making fun of him for misspeaking is pretty lovely TBH. Yes, he makes mistakes talking but because he's had that problem his whole life, even in the days when he ran rings around Paul Ryan a la 2012 he was still making these kind of mistakes. He also only made one mistake that I heard, where he says "would support unions organising and their right to collectively bargain" and starts to say "... organisation", and even that could have been "would support unions' organisation and collective bargaining" before someone realised it sounded a bit too much like the government would back the unions in negotiations. The other two slips were clear references to earlier drafts. One was about an act that "didn't just say that unions are allowed to exist, but that we should encourage unions" but instead he obviously goes with the (better sounding IMO) "didn't just say that unions are allowed to exist, it said unions should be encouraged to exist". The other was talking about "the deep disparities [of race] that still exist in our country" and he starts to say "in our society".

It's a convenient fiction to support the narrative they want. And the media, well, it's in the air as to whether the tail wags the dog. But if they're not complicit they're compliant.

namesake posted:Why do you think it's being spent on things rather than transferred out of government accounts into private accounts and so it is 'spent'? It's literally this. You can't explain how the money is being spent because it isn't being spent. The Tories are simply looting the country and using the pandemic to cover it up. Hence their pandemic strategy, which is prolonging the crisis because the longer it goes on and the worse it gets, the more they can take.

I tend to use it because it's shorter than "search the Web" and more generic than "Google".

OwlFancier posted:People who complain about others being too sensitive are often extremely sensitive about their own ideas and I don't think that hypocrisy is really a problem for them, because the people who like them are much the same way, the point is merely the dominance of their ideas, and if throwing a big flounce is a useful tactic they will do it. For all that they might claim to be above that, in reality the thing that really matters is dominating the situation, the pretense of seriousness and factuality is only as a method of dominating, and refusing to participate when they find it unpleasant is just another form of it. You could have saved a lot of words by saying "The right project".

Borrovan posted:I haven't seen the show & don't have an opinion, but this is how the best propaganda works. Look at the BBC, half of the population genuinely seem to believe that it has a left wing bias, the gammons won't stfu about it, and most of the other half just go "oh everyone thinks the BBC is biased against them so it must be balanced" - despite it literally being a matter of public record that all of their politics reporters are lifelong Tory shills and the higher-ups direct political appointments by the Tory party. Now that's good propaganda. These things are not mutually exclusive. The BBC are both unashamedly pro-Tory and have a left wing bias from the perspective of the gammon half of the population, because the gammons are far enough right to make Hitler look like a liberal.

Welcome to, oh, nine or ten years ago? Everything the Tories have done over the last decade has been the act of a party that was sure it would never be elected again. They just managed to push exactly the right buttons in exactly the right way to ensure that the stupid and the bigoted keep voting for them in large enough numbers.

Stormgale posted:https://twitter.com/cj_bellwether/status/1371355734407966730 This is the context needed to interpret Owl's numbers from earlier. It could have been the case that people were exiting and leaving the GIC referral lists at roughly the same rate, meaning that 5 years and change was just how long the process takes. But knowing that they are not, the numbers become indicative of a system that is either starved of support or being purposefully obstructive (if not both).
