kingturnip posted:The number of church-goers in the Tory party who think and act as if being poor is the greatest crime imaginable should be a surprise. I was once told by a dedicated church goer that it's right that the government shouldn't provide for the poor as that's the church's responsibility. I suspect that is a view that is uncomfortably popular.

Guavanaut posted:If they really believed that then why not compete to do a better job of it than the government? (Other than it just being an excuse that the poor should 'know their place' and neither should do it) I'd have asked him if I'd thought of that but no doubt he'd blame the government. They are all satanists you know, that's why being gay is no longer illegal.

therattle posted:What else could it be, directly or indirectly? And if it isn’t marketing it’s still a company. Take what you can. I was going to ask "what anthem?" But it's the English one. Alright then, can that only be in England and Wales, Scotland and N. Ireland would get their own anthems?

What a loving waste of time. goddamnedtwisto posted:Gonna this tweet not because of the usual reason people call things not mind safe but because it represents a level of Rowling derangement so severe it actually caused a mental disturbance akin to a giant hit of salvia: How I envy someone that can have an opinion as poo poo as this and yet have the confidence to post it. I tried to take up smoking over three months when I was seventeen. Never really took, I kept forgetting to buy fags and not enough of my friends smoked for me to bum a ciggy off them.

Failed Imagineer posted:Always was Yeah but I wanted him to build the loop, find that people would die then blame the government for over regulation. When the news presenter said it was more like "a highway underground" all I could think was isn't that what Musk was trying to get away from?!

Dabir posted:He's lazy and stupid, even with other people's labour and brains. Digging one tunnel took a long time and he got bored so he said "good enough" and put Teslas in it cause he already had those. I'm not sure if he's stupid but I do agree with him being lazy or at least quick to lose interest in things that don't align with his vision immediately. I don't think he's actually built anything from the ground up himself.

I've been working in Oxford this week and have come to the realisation that I'm becoming a middle age bigot. I've found myself irritated when English people mispronounce Welsh names. Even though I am [i]well[/] aware that it's a completely different language with different pronunciation rules that they couldn't possibly be expected to know. Gives me something to work on in the new year I suppose. Also the amount of rotten wooden sleepers on the British rails is shocking.

goddamnedtwisto posted:Duke of York, despite being a title given by the Queen, is not a royal title because this is a very normal country. What makes something a royal title?

Jaeluni Asjil posted:Anyway, I have just finished We Live, the sequel. It was published in 1939 after the author had died. Haven't thought about that book for ages, really need to reread it. One of my relatives took part in the miner's strike and later the Tonypandy riots while he worked in the Llwynypia colliery, the same colliery my father would later work in.
