In the cycles of technology and societal trends vs people finding ways to circumvent them, Twitter doesn't appear to know rhyming slang, so calling someone a berk is fine, but 'oval office' is almost an immediate ban. I dunno it's nice to see traditions adapt and evolve.

Comrade Fakename posted:Monbiot is right in that people should give him some slack for saying a bad thing once which he’s acknowledged was bad and has been decent and generally on-side otherwise. However, he doesn’t really appreciate that “people” in this case are just a handful of particularly aggro left twitter members, and more generally that being on the internet means that someone’s always going to dig out your dirty laundry. I think it’s really a generational thing, if he’d grown up online and on forums like most of us he’d easily recognise that nobody ever truly forgets, and you just have to own up to bad poo poo and chill out. Yer, there’s a lot of handwringing in the replies to him from blue tick commentators essentially saying ‘a collective political memory is mean and off putting’. If Iain Dale or JOB or the ‘Corbyn’s ordering Zyklon’ lot start to publicly acknowledge the Tories are scum and hurting people like them then it’s not OK to point out their complicity in the harm. gently caress em.

It's cheating to use a century of industrial-pollution-filled-smog to make your sunsets look prettier, you're meant to use diesel fumes like the rest of us. Or whatever the gently caress Port Talbot does.

goddamnedtwisto posted:I feel like getting anyone dumb enough to think they don't need to be vaccinated out of the NHS is going to do quite a lot to improve patient safety, to be honest. We wouldn't tolerate anyone saying "Actually I don't need to wash my hands because germ theory isn't proven yet" in a patient-facing role, why the gently caress would we trust anyone trying to "Well actually" literally every health authority on earth? I think the principle is good, but the execution is poor. If the unions are backing a carrot approach on this, then back the unions with more carrots, not a shiny new stick.

Guavanaut posted:It's weird that these so-called feminists have jumped on "rape requires a penis in english law" to claim that the 400-odd women found guilty of rape over the past reporting period are all secret penis havers (rather than accessories or joint participants). Between this, SWERFism, and this weird movement of infantalisation of adults between 18-25(?) where 'any perceived imbalance of power between individuals is automatically coercive and abusive', poo poo's going to get so much worse before it gets better.

Convex posted:sorry mate what is this? I think I missed the twitter roundup on SWERFism I'm in no way best placed to comment on it properly. Just overlapping between your run of the mill religious psychos, anti-porn lobbyists and terfs. The SNP questionnaire is probably a good example, or the Durham uni thing? There are legit questions to be asked, and nothing is above scrutiny, but there's a weird tact of 'if you want to educate people on this, you're secretly looking to exploit them'.

If you start saving €30,000 a year until she's 18 you might be able to afford a deposit near Dublin as well.

A stacking vegetable steamer not only saves precious counter and hob space for tastier, fried foods, but means you can cook all your veg without really having to do anything.

If we're trying to out-Forde Forde then there's not enough weird sexual energy in this, need a female character to constantly refer to her breasts or breastfeeding.

The SNP's handling of new COVID restrictions is so bad that they're now being bollocked for it by Celtic fans

Communist Thoughts posted:Look Queen Nic was quite clear in her last covid message, in fact she wants to make herself very clear. The cynicism of fans regarding the restrictions and whether the Six Nations match would be affected (  ) should make this thread proud.forkboy84 posted:Celtic fans regularly gurn about the SNP? Green Brigade in particular piss & moan about everything & anything. It's about as newsworthy as someone shouting gently caress The Pope at an Orange march. They do, but that's not Green Brigade. And in the same way that Boris Johnson was technically having an afternoon meeting at a place exempt from COVID regulations with staff, the optics of the SNP shutting down outdoor events despite any evidence for outdoor transmission, then working backwards to justifications for it, isn't great?
