I think the idea that there is some magic bullet that will solve everything once we just kick out Russian money is deeply alluring not just because it appeals to a liberal sense of good and evil/a basically just system with a few bad actors/etc. but because

Many such cases E; to seriouspost for a second, I never liked Monbiot but I didn't think he'd go poster's brain, it's very funny though, always love to be vindicated in disliking someone. I can understand why some people are posting through it though, like, the last few years haven't been amazing and now this war occurs and upends an awful lot of received wisdom, plenty of people are casting about for Explanations.

goddamnedtwisto posted:Ditto, I'm far too disorganised to actually notice price rises in my shopping because I tend to just buy stuff as I remember I need it (rather spoiled by having an Asda, M&S, Waitrose, and Lidl in easy walking distance, plus my local supermarket has most stuff covered anyway). I have been going "What, really?" a lot more often at the till when I see the price for the three random items I happened to remember that time though. Hey our youngest kitty was in the vet recently for piddle problems and has been put on special food to ensure he doesn't develop future difficulties! For life! Yay!

Wintertime is great. We should control the axial tilt, rotation, and orbital speed of the Earth to ensure short days all year round.

goddamnedtwisto posted:Also the first draft of my shocking reveal post was actually going to be copying a story my old boss used to love telling about the place he lived in but I couldn't get the phrasing right, and Alan Partridge was playing on my telly so I went with that instead. From this morn but this has many parallels to my own childhood in Newtownards. Though the town has much changed today, Wardens remains the fancy place for when you must purchase the good homewares, and was spoken of with hushed reverence by my granny's generation, as if they still couldn't quite believe that mere rabble like themselves were permitted to enter such hallowed and austere halls, nevermind afford any product therein.

Been howling for hours at Glinner. Yes, we "took" your family from you. We gunned them down in the street as retribution for your weapons-grade transphobia. Not that after a full 16 years of marriage and two kids, you managed to be such a monomaniacal wanker about it that they just hosed off because you wouldn't wind your neck in. If I went on an unbroken racist rant for the better part of a decade I imagine some people I know would stop having anything to do with me, but it wouldn't be because some black kids "took" anyone from me by posting at me on Twitter.

An acquaintance of mine has deleted her socials and basically gone offline for the forseeable because she was so upset about people defending what Will Smith did. She's clearly intensely triggered by even the thought of violence and repeatedly stated that she would absolutely hate if someone acted violently on her behalf (even as a trans girl, and thus more likely than many to be in a position of being under some kind of attack, be it verbal or otherwise). A couple of people tried to gently point out that mocking a woman's appearance, especially one that stems from disability, on the world stage is also a form of violence, but she was having none of it. I'm not really saying this to make any grand point. My own view is "Perfectly understandable human response, even if better options theoretically existed", but I guess I'm just bringing it up because it's upsetting that it upset her that severely. Love to just be trying to live my life and every loving DAY there's some wankers hating on trans people.

Trickjaw posted:is insomnia essentialy linked to depression? I haven't slept this week. Yeah, insomnia and depression go hand in hand. Sorry for your troubles comrade, I hope you can find a way to get some decent rest because it loving sucks being knackered even at the best of times, nevermind when you're struggling with the crush of depression. e; US Route 219 runs from New York to Virginia.

Mebh posted:"This time! This time, he'll face the consequences of breaking the rules!" the 'sensible adults' proclaimed to one another. The validating, self-congratulatory proclamations of James O' Brien's latest stunning takedown still echoing throughout their hallways. They would, but it's the only arrow in their quiver. The libs have no idea what to do when decorum and rules fail them consistently, because in their minds decorum and the rules are pretty much perfect. They can't accept that it happens so they just assume the next scandal will work 'correctly' and evict the bastard from No. 10.

OwlFancier posted:It really is mad how marketization as an ideology works. Doesn't matter what the problem is, you don't have to find the solution, you just have to tell someone they can get rich off it and they will magically figure out the solution, please ignore all the times they don't and this causes massive collapses to vital services and/or kills people and somehow they still get rich off it, it's a very difficult job after all and we can't expect them to get it right every time. Also if you have more than three days off in a year you're fired by the way, that's vital for productivity. I think my favorite contradiction with it is that it's somehow supposed to save significant amounts of money despite adding in a whole new major expenditure, that of paying the shareholders. Like yeah I could buy the argument that competition drives costs down outside that (I would still argue that it comes with a load of other problems because many of those savings come from cutting safety corners, underpaying staff, etc.) but once you start paying out the massive amounts shareholders demand, as well as grossly inflated CEO packages and the like, then the savings are soon massively outweighed. And then of course a steady return on investment isn't enough, it has to grow each quarter or year, so they have to find ways to give more money to shareholders on an ongoing basis even in industries where that makes no sense whatsoever because it is contstrained by things like static demand (Or rising only as a function of population), natural monopolies, inability to expand things or actually compete (You can't actually just slap a new rail line down from London to Brum like it's Transport Tycoon), etc. etc. etc.. It really is mad.

BalloonFish posted:Bringing those two thoughts together - I spent a lot of my childhood (not at all wasted, I promise) playing Railroad Tycoon II, which had - for the time - quite a sophisticated in-game model of capitalism with investors, shareholders, dividends, bonds, etc. etc. One of my perpetual frustration was that your virtual shareholders always wanted More Growth, All The Time. You could stitch together a perfectly sized, sustainable rail network monopolising the Midwest, carrying grain and cattle into Chicago and processed food and manufactured goods back out, with no effective competitors and a steady 5% dividend every year and if you just kept things ticking along like that your shareholders would eventually get angry and overthrow you - GAME OVER. So you'd always end up getting pushed into doing something stupid and unsustainable like building a transcontinental railroad over the Rockies or expanding into an area that an equally-powerful and rich competing company already had sewn up, ensuring that you would never be able to attract profitable traffic. When your grand new route to some backwater swamp on the west coat opened the share price would soar (Growth! Change! Potential! New Route Mileage! Shiny New Trains!) and then after a few years when it turned out to be a huge loss-making boondoggle and your railroad was now running at a loss, the stock price would crash and you'd get turned on by the shareholders - GAME OVER. Haha I fondly remember that, and yeah props to them for slipping that whole message in there! bessantj posted:I recently watched his new special and it's really strange because at the start he says some jokes that are based around anti-trans talking points. Then he goes on to say it's all parody and you shouldn't get offended etc... etc... But in the show all his trans jokes are based around anti-trans talking points. So I wonder how many anti-trans jokes do you have to say before you go past the point of parody/irony and are just anti-trans? or anti-gay or racist? It's all bullshit. He doesn't know what words like 'parody' and 'satire' mean, even if it was okay to use those to punch down - all he knows is that words like that are magic ones that get other people to defend his right to say whatever heinous poo poo he wants to.
