Nothingtoseehere posted:Frankly - (XR and IB) are out there, doing something. Can you quibble about effectiveness? yes. Is it likely undercover police and domestic security is keeping a big eye on them? also yes. But they are trying something. The issue I have with them is that there are environmental activists who would be protesting and taking action whether Extinction Rebellion existed or not who are being encouraged by Extinction Rebellion's leadership to graffiti something and then turn themselves into the police to be arrested. XR looks like an organisation made to take good people who want to make a difference in the world, and control them. There's no way it hasn't been infiltrated. And on the extreme off-chance that it hasn't, its tactics still suck. The police are not your friend and being arrested is not desirable.

Brendan Rodgers posted:I still see Starmer get described as "electable", I hate that stupid word. Maybe it's a question of usage. "Electable" doesn't mean "people will vote for him", it means "we, the media, will try to get him elected".

I think when more than a hundred people die of a preventable disease every day that we should do something about preventing that disease. "A bunch of people are bored of hearing about COVID and having restrictions" doesn't hold much water with me, a bunch of people vote Tory and I think they're wrong too.

The 100+ a day who die of covid were pretty vulnerable

It's fine, there were already ways to die, so it's acceptable to add additional ways to die, because you already had a chance to die

Yeah, I get that bodily autonomy is important and shouldn't be compromised lightly, but I'd say vaccinating someone against a global pandemic that has killed millions is a reasonable thing to do.

Allowing the party in power to rewrite the rules of elections is such a poo poo idea

goddamnedtwisto posted:TLDR - TV Detector vans were real, they worked, but were only occasionally used for direct enforcement and basically not at all after about the mid 80s because it was much cheaper and more efficient to just spam out letters to everyone without a TV license. That's interesting to me - how do you detect someone receiving a signal? Besides the obvious of looking for aerials and through windows with your eyeballs. Some kind of sensitively measuring the signal around an area and seeing if it has minutely dropped in amplitude or something?

Jaeluni Asjil posted:I buy a licence because it's not a hill I'm prepared to die on (or get stiffed for £1000). I would get caught, because that is my luck. I was burgled in 1989 and everyone told me to fake extra on my insurance claim. I did not, it was 100% accurate. Luckily. Because for the first time ever in the history of the Met, they caught the swine because he left a juicy thumb print on the bin he used to prop open the door when he was nicking my stuff (and when he was later nabbed for shooting the couple he robbed after me, the fingerprint was matched). Kind of surprised they even bothered to dust for fingerprints. Lately when I've been a victim of crime the cops haven't even bothered to show or even call me back when they said they would.

fuctifino posted:Yeah, fingers crossed she just cheaped out with the monitor, but she's also complaining about it being hard to breathe and having a tight chest. She's in contact with the health professionals now, so my job is done in that regard. Heck, I'd still call 999. They bought a monitor and it told them they were in danger. The response to that should be to call 999, not to go, "Oh, maybe it's a cheap monitor" and ignore it. Disclaimer: I don't know anything
