Having an opinion on the next James Bond should disqualify you from most facets of adult life, certainly from an involvement in politics. Watch the movies, fine, it's big dumb action film nonsense. But next Bond is so banal and Brits seem to spend 1 20th of their life thinking about it

Regarde Aduck posted:What was interesting to me was how fast cspam turned on one of their posters who did something, ill-advised as it was. They nominally flip-flop between nothing-can-ever-be-done nihilism and call-to-arms violent activism rhetoric. Now apparently they never advocated violence and have always been useless nihilists. They even played down how dangerous the proud boys are as an organisation. Truly the vanguard of the revolution. I dunno, it's a reasonable if slightly cynical reaction. Certain goons are obsessed with CSPAM being closed down for whatever reason & they were drooling at the prospect of using this nonsense as an excuse to make that happen. Plus yeah, calling for armed insurrection/propaganda of the deed on a public forum which has increased scrutiny on it after this? Unwise to put it mildly. I'd also add that tbh the line between "lol nothing matters" nihilism/despair & feeling attracted to political violence is pretty thin so to me the duality isn't really that surprising. I mostly like CSPAM but the USPol threads are really not worth even glancing at. But then that's true of D&D too, except most threads in D&D except this one can be ignored because it's a forum filled with melty libs. OwlFancier posted:As someone who plays workers and resources soviet republic, and therefore is qualified to make public service planning decisions, tennis courts are strictly inferior to football because you can fit 22 people on a football pitch at a time, but only 2 on a tennis court. Football is the sport of the proletariat and space-efficient planning enthusiast. Were I to cater to the whims of the tennis people there would be less space for train factories. Wait until you hear about doubles tennis! My hot take is that tennis was pretty fun to play even though like most sports I was utterly gash at it. gently caress, even cricket was fun to play & I'd sooner drink bleach than watch that. Some of the best PE lessons in school were when we did field hockey & I got to dress up in all this old goalkeeper kit, great craic.

It's the former. A long slow collapse just gives people time to adapt to reality. With a more sudden collapse there's at least the prospect of breaking point being reached

I feel for conflicted Newcastle fans after Ross County hired noted racist homophobe Malky Mackay this summer. Which is handy coz a local non-league team just moved to play about 10 minutes walk from my door so I've just started watching them. They aren't very good but it's free and the manager isn't a oval office

I've got a good solution for this, 100% inheritance tax. WhatEvil posted:Eh I just think too many people think "If I had a big house and a fancy car and didn't have to work anymore life would be mint and I'd be really happy all the time!" and then they suddenly have that stuff and they're still not and they just don't know what to do. The thing is that having been long-term unemployed I know that not working while being able to afford not only a roof over my head and keep fed while still being able to get luxury items like books and games and music would make me happy. Seriously, remove financial concerns and you remove more than half the things that cause me stress and prevent me from doing what I'm passionate about : sitting in my underpants watching some wrestling. It's good that there are people who find meaning or whatever from work but just tend to find a mix of frustration and pure misery. What I'm saying is someone wealthy should make my dreams come true and fire a couple mil at me. Won't ask for more.

The first few years you could probably spend more but at some point there's only so much stuff one person needs. Sure, you could decide you want to eat out at Michelin star restaurants and live in Central London and take 4 holidays a year that you fly to in first class but at some point it's diminishing returns.

Hell, I lived in Sheffield for 6 months and missed the rain and it's not like Sheffield is arid (in fact when I moved there in the summer of 2007 they were recovering from serious flooding.
