Re: Anti-Semitim and the left. I think it was Richard Littlejohn (or possibly Rod Liddle) in the mid 2000s that did a documentary about how Anti-Semitic Britain is and decided that it was because of the left. And Muslims.

Jaeluni Asjil posted:Missed this one. That reminds me, there was a by-election for my ward on Tuesday. I didn't end u voting because I'm ill. The only candidate to visit was the Lib Dem one, who is running on the same platform as the Labour candidate. He said that it was an incredibly tight race between him and the Labour candidate so every vote counted, lets have a look at the results: quote:Gavin John Horton, Welsh Labour – 641 votes ELECTED Oh yes, very close. And streaming & music companies ripping off the artists again. quote:Despite her album having been streamed 750,000 times, The Anchoress has not made a single penny from it.

WhatEvil posted:On that note, Coronation Street had a trans character starting in 1998: This is what I don't get, trans women have been using women's toilets for decades now surely. If it was a big thing for trans women to assault cis women in the toilets then it would have come up before now, so why has the light been shone on it now?

Bored in work today I was browsing books on Amazon and gently caress me there is a huge industry in people writing books about how "the left" has lost its way and how "wokeism" is destroying the western world. I read the blurbs and reviews and it seems most of them were written after the author spent a handful of days on twitter. Saw noting in the other direction.

Dabir posted:Is that the same industry that's furiously buying up wheelbarrows full of each other's books to throw in a landfill so they get to be on the NYT bestseller list? Maybe, there were a mix of British and U.S. books. Books like The Madness of Crowds and some American book complaining about how PC culture was uprooting the western world through its roots in post modern neo Marixism.

Guavanaut posted:"The woke left can't tell the difference between their online echo chambers and reality," I write, citing exclusively tweets about the 69 genders from accounts with a dozen tweets, 6 followers (all with Pepe/maga avs) and "hard left, pro-Corbyn anti-Semites, pronouns fe/fi/fo/fum" in their bio. I think it's something like that and watching debate bros go at it. When I think of being PC I just want good wheelchair access for everyone.

Has anyone used the British version of Taco Bell? They're opening one in Newport and I'm wondering about people's opinion of it. We used to have a fairly nice Mexican restaurant in Newport but the owner died quite suddenly and it shut down.

There's a video of this guys routine in he thread so I thought I'd give it a look and I have no idea what anti-woke comedy is. He makes a joke about a vegan talking about being vegan a lot which, O.K. I guess. That environmentalists are middle class people who take daddy's ranger rover to protests which is a very old one. He also made a joke about plastic straws not being single use if you drink with them and they kill a turtle. He also did a bit about state schools being shitter than posh schools. Mostly it seemed like jokes people have been telling for years but updated for 2019. The more people use it the more I don't understand what "woke" means. Also had my booster jab yesterday. Was a very long queue which is good I guess, at least people are getting their booster.

Surprise T Rex posted:Yeah I tracked down a routine by a guy from the Comedy Unleashed thing, didn't watch it all but opened with basically "I'm opposed to mandatory vaxx but I am at least vaxxed" and then did a bit about the Pfizer vaccine being the better German one but being very picky about being kept in the fridge etc. Not exactly the best comedy I've ever seen but nothing so outrageous that it couldn't have come from Michael McIntyre tbh. I think the most anti woke thing he said was the he agreed with Donald Trump. The level of bravery that puts him in the same camp as only hundreds of millions of others, so brave. His straw gag reminded me of a Christmas party a rugby club I belonged to put on. A friend of mine had gone up to get a drink for him and his girlfriend. As he was coming back he took a sip of her drink through a straw, the comedian they had on saw this and started in on how only women drink through straws and was my friend some sort of gay (though he used the F word.) Went on for about five minutes as well, prancing round the stage. About as funny as arse cancer but there you are, will this "Unsafe Space" show have such amazing comedy?

They go up to masked supermarket staff unmasked and go, "can you tell me where object is? *cough* *cough*" in their faces then walk away chuckling. Happening to mini about 3 times a shift and the place is rammed with unmasked absolute fuckwads who don't want to do home delivery when there are slots still available. Jesus, that's terrible, do they get thrown out?

Skarsnik posted:The queue at the front of the building was pretty big when you arrived, but as you walked round the corner of the building the full horror of hundreds and hundreds of people snaking round the car park revealed itself Mine wasn't as bad as that, but as I said at least people are getting their booster. learnincurve posted:Supermarket policy (in most places) is not to challenge unmasked or aggressive customers but to inform a manager, but no one does because of the hassle. This is why I don't think I could work in those places anymore. You can't just cough in people's face and expect them not to react. Jedit posted:You may or may not know that one of Nazi cartoonist Stonetoss's gateway jokes was a vegan not being sure he could win the World Insufferability Championship because his opponent was a cyclist. Now he isn't wrong about that - in fact it's a good cartoon for his purposes because it does it very well - but wherever I see it I feel like the comedian is testing the water to lead up to "... and those blacks, hey?" I'd never thought of it that way. Mostly it makes me think about how old the joke it, probably been round since the 80s if not before. Like a comedy Ready Player One.

Ms Adequate posted:Yeah I reckon Owly's got the right of it. I think it's more that it's the kind of idle thing that occupies the brain, maybe it makes some folks feel safer to run through some scenarios or whatever (Hell I do it with zombie attacks so...) more than like, US militia style jonesing for the chance to shoot people. Like I expect in an actual fight my response would be "Yeah fine here's my money" because it's honestly not worth me OR someone else getting hurt but, as was said, not everyone's in the same situation. Back when I was young I'd gone out shopping with my mum. My dad was alone in the house and fell asleep in a chair, he woke up and went to the kitchen to get a drink to find someone standing inside after climbing in through an open window. He threw a punch at my dad and received a bit of a beating in return. This caused my dad to be arrested until the police sorted out what had happened and he was released. My mum was angry because the guy could have grabbed a knife as there were a few on the work top, my dad's response was just to shrug and say he'd have smacked him anyway. I know that avoiding conflict is the best way but sometimes these people break into houses of someone that actually really likes conflict.

Had a call from my brother saying he tested positive on an LFT so he's booked a PCR test. I was at his house Christmas day for dinner so I've taken a LFT and it has come back negative. Have ordered more and will do another test when one arrives.

The brother I had Christmas dinner with has had a positive PCR test and is now feeling like poo poo. His missus and kids are off getting tests. I've taken two LFT and both are negative but I'm booking myself, the missus and my mother (she's not making it easy) in for one as well. One drawback is we have no transport, opinions on best way to get to test centres?

I was thinking home kit for my mam and the missus has said she wouldn't mind walking down to one but I'm not sure if it's better to get home kits for us as well so we limit contact. Just want to make sure I do the test right.
