It's a weird feeling to wake up to electoral catastrophe for Labour and instead of wanting to jump off a bridge actually finding it funny

Corbyn had no 'antisemitic baggage' and a hypothetical left leader would be tarred with the exact same brush.

jabby posted:Don't be depressed about Labour getting hosed, it's pretty much the best possible outcome for the Left. The Right took over the party promising to do better than Corbyn and they've unequivocally, indisputably performed WAY worse than even the low points of his leadership. That's a good thing. Yeah, this, seriously

goddamnedtwisto posted:Lol cool I now have three second doses of the vaccine booked (one automatically booked by the centre I got the first one at, one I arranged via 119 because that first centre told me to do that, and one from my GP). I'm gonna get all of them and take all of the 5G bandwidth and there's nothing you can do to stop me. don't be greedy, man, ask for one of them to put one in a doggy bag and send it to me

goddamnedtwisto posted:It's quite funny because they obviously have all the right data - 119 knew I'd had my first dose, and my GP's text also specifically said second dose - but *not* that I'd already arranged the second dose weeks ago. Nearest one is miles outside of town and I don't drive, unfortunately. I know I gotta be patient but I'm starting to get twitchy now.

Pablo Bluth posted:https://www.theguardian.com/media/2021/may/12/uk-to-require-social-media-to-protect-democratically-important-content One of my favourite things about SA is how thuddingly irrelevant it is. No-one gives a gently caress about what we do here (just the way I likes it) Comrade Fakename posted:The Tories may be in a commanding position right now, but they are facing total electoral oblivion in the future. They have inexorably tied themselves to a generation that is dying. Eventually it will be impossible for them to form a majority. I really don't mean to be a debbie downer but I don't think the "demographics as destiny" argument has ever actually worked out. With that said, I think the rest of the century is going to be chaotic and tumultuous that it's basically pointless trying to predict the future, or even that electoralism is going to remain relevant or even extant. e; fb multiple times Barry Foster fucked around with this message at 14:23 on May 12, 2021 |

Jaeluni Asjil posted:One thing I've noticed is a tendency of those on the right to be genuinely bewildered that if it's ok for you, why should you be worried about anyone else's difficulties. My partner's dad is literally the '? ??' guy whenever she talks about poverty or racism or homeless people or whatever. It's like he short circuits. As far as he's concerned there's him, my partner and her sister, and my partner's mum, and if everyone else died tomorrow it'd be inconvenient but not sad. Me included, I might add.

OwlFancier posted:A lot of people might, if you're lucky, balk at initiating violence personally against people, but I think most of them would absolutely kill you without a second thought if they didn't have to look at you while it happened. if it was a case of just pressing a button or giving the nod or something then yeah, probably Brendan Rodgers posted:There's a lot of these people, more than we think. It's why they project "virtue signalling" onto other people. That's entirely correct, yeah. Using that particular phrase is one of the ultimate ways people can tell on themselves EDIT Brendan Rodgers posted:Nah, imo if gave them an order from a position of authority, and an air of "protection" for their acts under your authority, most gammons will absolutely become an Auschwitz guard overnight. Nah, I definitely do think that it's a much smaller hardcore of people who would personally hurt or kill another person, if only because a lot of people might want to do it but be too cowardly to do it themselves Barry Foster fucked around with this message at 15:04 on May 12, 2021 |

Guavanaut posted:I already did my very real national service, make the idle scroungers man the guard posts, I'm watching the cricket. Hey man, fighting on the front lines of the culture wars is trying stuff, I'm telling you Think of the veterans of the Statues Offensive Brendan Rodgers posted:That's what I mean about "protection", a lot of those cowards will feel a lot braver when given a uniform and a title. What they previously saw as a socially disadvantageous act will suddenly be something that is encouraged as long as they aim at outsiders to their group. What I mean is fear of the violence itself, rather than the disapproval of their peers

feedmegin posted:The literal Nazis are counterevidence, here. Check out the book Ordinary Men I remember reading somewhere that the majority of people are extraordinarily reluctant to kill, and that stuff like military training is designed to breakdown this basic reluctance. I'm having trouble finding the study now though, and concede that I am probably wrong EDIT here is something, I dunno if this was what I was thinking of, and it's not a paper https://greatergood.berkeley.edu/article/item/hope_on_the_battlefield Barry Foster fucked around with this message at 15:28 on May 12, 2021 |

blunt posted:Does anybody know what the deal is re: Pfizer/AstraZenica when booking these - does it give you any indication when booking of which is available, or do you just find out when you show up to your appointment? if you're under 40 they'll give you Pfizer or Moderna unless there is a really pressing reason that you can't have either, then they'll begrudgingly give you AZ. IME anyway, and a few other people I know my age (mid-thirties) who've just had it

josh04 posted:Anyone know if they're still avoiding giving people with severe allergies the Pfizer one? They very nearly turned me away because of my peanut allergy - they basically said 'no pfizer cos peanuts, no az cos under 40, go away until we have moderna' But then the lead clinician there said that food allergies don't count, and it was only some weird thing I can't quite remember (plastics or something?) that was an issue, so I got the pfizer.
