Total Meatlove posted: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. How do they feel about "mewling quim", or have they cottoned onto it yet?

ThomasPaine posted:I think the reason people get so defensive on this subject is that if feels like 95% of the time everyone has clearly made up their own mind already and is just trying to spin whatever new 'evidence' comes out to suit their own ends. One side thinks criticising sources that have almost all been produced by rabidly anti-communist US think tanks and insane weirdos like Zenz makes you a genocide apologist, the other thinks saying 'oh hey china might be doing a bad thing' makes you a CIA-funded psyop. It's a pointless argument honestly because it's just people yelling at each other and, weirdly enough, is very very rarely actually about the welfare of Uyghurs. It's pure ideological grandstanding. Thanks for sorting the wheat from the chaff.

It's a good distraction to get this ignored; government plans to set themselves above the law by asking parliament to let them ignore court judgements, this is how the country goes into the dark.

Right folks, shut everything right the gently caress down until April (which has been my thinking for a while now), one final shopping trip for xmas on the 23rd and that's me done. I'm fairly content with solitude so it works for me.

Pablo Bluth posted:Can this be used to earn Irish citizenship for those that don't have Irish parents/grandparents, by sticking around long enough to earn it by naturalisation? I think you have to live there for 5 or 9 years, i've heard both numbers being cited depending on circumstances. I don't know if spending that amount of time here in Northern Ireland would be applicable or not.

Food: the paneer turned out very crumbly and almost without flavour (slight hint of cottage cheese) so i need to work on my technique for a more solid product but happy to make something edible. Tastes nice in a bun with salt & black pepper. :-)

Things are going to suck until 2026, i just picked that number as it sounds reasonable to me and i can cope with things for at least that long. Pretty sure some of my relatives are feeling disorientated already as this is real and they need to adapt a bit yet. I've always seen my self as an observer of life and not really a participant in it so the solitude & limited social interaction seems normal to me.   edit: social media seems to be very toxic, i have a very limited need for it.

Convex posted:I mean the one thing most people felt about climate change was that collective action would never happen because the threat just wasn't present enough. Like, if all of a sudden there was a literal wall of fire moving across the planet then you'd have thought governments would finally take notice that money wasn't the forever priority. Such collective good will remain the purview of utopian science fiction... i was going to say; "until we have a real crisis" but then i paused and sighed.
