Mebh posted:So wait... Beach huts have no heating, no insulation, no hot water, can't be slept in legally. Do they have toilets? Hey, Brits are already known for travelling to other countries not so they can see that country, but so they can go to a hotel full of other Brits and eat a fry up with a Carling. Maybe they go to the beach so they can get into their hut away from that horrible sand and water?

I've never seen it and didn't know what it was about and always imagined it as like Eastenders combined with CSI.

I know people that think they are voting against Owen Jones, policy is becoming not just irrelevant, but abstract.

Barry Foster posted: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. There's a lot of these people, more than we think. It's why they project "virtue signalling" onto other people.

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. 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.

Barry Foster posted: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 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.

Guavanaut posted:Sounds like the beliefs popularized by 'On Killing' and 'Killology'. Wikipedia posted:Some veterans and historians have cast doubt on Marshall's research methodology.[9] Professor Roger J. Spiller (Deputy Director of the Combat Studies Institute, US Army Command and General Staff College) argues in his 1988 article, "S.L.A. Marshall and the Ratio of Fire" (RUSI Journal, Winter 1988, pages 63–71), that Marshall had not actually conducted the research upon which he based his ratio-of-fire theory. "The 'systematic collection of data' appears to have been an invention."[10] This revelation has called into question the authenticity of some of Marshall's other books and has lent academic weight to doubts about his integrity that had been raised in military circles even decades earlier.[11] Wikipedia posted:As a result of Marshall's work, modern military training was modified to attempt to override this instinct, by:

Algol Star posted:I find it hilarious how now that younger generations are fully dependant on inheritance to maybe ever own a house there's been a noticeable uptick among people I know's elderly relatives suddenly deciding 'i can't take it with me' and that the only sensible thing to do is to spend all their money and enjoy their last years. Literally a generation that hoarded wealth to the point it broke the economy and then said gently caress it and spaffed it all away on leisure once their descendants were fully dependant. At least that wealth has been redistributed into the hands of *checks notes* the owners of cruise ships and hotels.

The Question IRL posted:This also comes from Ancient Greece, where the idea was there had been a Golden/Silver/Bronze Age of humans. Weren't hunter-gatherers taller and healthier on average, with more leisure time, than the agrarian civilisations that started writing? That could have formed a shared cultural memory of an idealised and romanticised golden age that was now unattainable. I'm probably talking out of my arse here.

What's this racial memory stuff? I said shared cultural memory, something like the big flood that is mentioned in many cultures, at first orally.

goddamnedtwisto posted:Nobody gives a poo poo about all the weird weight classes that sprouted during the 80s so Don King could have 15 different world titles - the only light-welterweights anyone's ever heard of are former lightweight champions who couldn't make weight or slowed down too much and were on their way up to middleweight for one last pay packet. Also there's 4 (?) different organisations now that each have all those weight classes.
