Blind drunk at dinner in Portugal in 2013, I was told two of the other people eating were Portuguese police officers. Like a true Brit I immediately demanded to know where Maddie was and they just as quickly shot back that it was the parents wot done it.

The right-wing newspapers have orchestrated the entire system so that from unpaid internship onwards it's drilled into you that there's zero difference between working for good newspapers and bad newspapers, idiot. TV culture on the other hand is still dominated in the UK by BBC-types who vaguely imagine themselves to be furthering the entire medium as an example to the world, and especially those horrible yanks. Not surprised that GB News struggling to pick up the cream of the crop, at least at first.

That Huff Post article descends into some absolute raving "bad for Jeremy Corbyn" by the end, where they're saying that Kier might get steamrolled by a challenge from the right and Coyne needs to win the Unite leadership so that sensible centrism can sweep the one event voters pay attention to, internal reforms to defang the left at the Labour Party conference.

The Onsind song is absolutely a reference to the Propagandhi album, they're big fans iirc. lol, came here to post this. My Propagandhi story is that when I saw them in london a few years ago I yelled for "Without Love" and they bumped a more popular song to play it.

They are absolutely that evil but this is even stupider, the scientists had presumably finally gotten through to Hancock that every time he put his hand on the red hot "remove restrictions" button he got burned, so they've replaced him with someone willing to give it another go. There's a faction that literally haven't moved position since the start of the pandemic and they're back for another round.

So that I contribute something more useful than shitposts to the Camus discussion, I wrote this up for a work chat where someone asked if Sisyphus "accepting the absurd struggle" meant learning to enjoy rolling boulders (a fair question!):quote:Sisyphus doesn't enjoy rolling the boulder; he just doesn't accept that his fate is to be miserable from not reaching the summit. Which is not to say he "chooses to be happy" or something trite like that, it's more that no external force or God or whatever that can determine his nature. Sometimes he will be happy and sometimes he will be sad, but these are human matters and not the result of divine or cosmic intervention. He can be made to spend all day rolling the boulder but he can't be made to care that he never reaches the top - and once he's made that choice, what is the power of the gods or fate to punish him?

I'm quite fond of 'Three Lions' being the totem of English football ambition, because the saccarine original brings with it the existence of 'Three Lions 98' which is a song of true desperation. It even references a 0-0 draw with Italy!

The fifteen minutes is for the severe unexpected anaphylaxis in response to the plastic they put in it, people are unlikely to be certain they aren't allergic to this mystery chemical and if they wander off they may not be able to recognise the (previously unexperienced) symptoms and get back in time for them to be effectively helped.

Number cloning is apparently ridiculously easy and the current trend in spam calling is to pretend to be numbers similar to the one you're dialing so people will pick up out of curiosity or something? Either way it means getting spam calls from numbers like yours and also getting angry return calls from people who have been rung from your cloned number.

It just sounds like rebranding ordinary money. Bitcoin-based ventures like this operate entirely in the realm of buzzwords and don't have to actually do anything, or even exist.
