Really enjoying this image generation tool "Joris Bohson"  "Keith Smithers"  "Brexit Britain"  I think the screaming balding face fused with a Union Jack that could be a tubby belly or a penis is particularly evocative.

Vaccine question: what’s the point of the little cards? My understanding is they don’t actually count as proof of vaccination for anywhere that matters, are they just like a receipt or in case a restaurant or somewhere wants to check vaccination status?

feedmegin posted:This is harder than you might think and also you are liable to tax on your assets on the way out (which is why I myself never took up US citizenship over there, plus the insane 'we will tax you wherever you are in the world' stuff)  Am looking to pay some smart legal people to figure it out since it seems like such a minefield. From what I can find out though the exit tax only applies if I have more than ~$500k in assets though? Extremely  to that

It’s been said a million times but social media is so toxic because it’s essentially unmoderated which ends up being the same as actively promoting the minority of shouty fash assholes above everybody else. Other than these forums I can’t think of a single site or service that has opted for a heavily moderated approach, with a paid entry to offset the lower ~engagement~ from booting out all the dickheads.

ThomasPaine posted:Yeah, 100%. Plenty of people totally ignored the first lockdown anyway, if you call a second one after just being caught doing so yourself many more will pay no attention whatsoever, and that's without even taking into account how unwilling lots of folk are to sacrifice another Christmas with their friends and families/spend another winter alone indoors with no social contact that isn't over a computer.

I'm supposed to be going overseas for Christmas to somewhere without all the family drama and I'm still feeling increasingly uneasy about it because of COVID, absolutely gently caress doing it and having to spend the holidays miserable.

I'm not going to vote for a party just because it's supposed to be left-wing. That seems like a deluded and self-defeating strategy. The fact is that no major party represents left-wing values at this point, and voting for Labour just because it's the lesser evil or because it *should* be left-wing or *used* to be is just wishful thinking and avoiding the fact that the path to a better government is going to be much more difficult than that.

ThomasPaine posted:I genuinely believe Labour would have won in 2019 if it hadn't completely shat the bed on its Brexit strategy. That was the issue of the moment, and they literally couldn't have hosed it up worse. Some of the blame obviously goes to the FBPE brigade for pushing them to argue for a second referendum, but Corbyn et al should rightly be criticised for capitulating to it, and even before that their position was nonsensical and contradictory where it wasn't incomprehensible.

Guavanaut posted:That's good though, like twisto said earlier if it was some adrenochrome fueled dionysia where everyone was painted gold and wearing wings while enacting the sex acts from the banned books list there's a mental disconnect effect, whereas it being something more like what the line manager who quotes Family Guy all the time tries to pressure everyone into attending when they just want to knock off early and have a pint then people are just going to hate them more. Maybe? I guess my gut reaction was to hate them for having a great time at a drug-fuelled rager; a Christmas quiz sounds like half of them probably wished they could be at home instead TACD fucked around with this message at 01:10 on Dec 12, 2021 |

It would actually be beneficial to everyone if anti-vax healthcare workers would quit and get another job, much how it was surely beneficial to everyone when all the anti-hand washing surgeons found something else to do.
