I think the percentage of donations spent on charitable work versus admin costs/advertising etc is probably a more useful metric than looking at specific wages While I'm on the subject, gently caress those high street chuggers, keep that clipboard and creepy smile the gently caress away from me Also I'm in on the keller lenkner train and if something goes wrong: - lol - it wasn't me - good luck getting money I don't have

goddamnedtwisto posted:It's baffling because almost all of my Twitter follows are deranged UK lefties and I'm not seeing that at all, I can only assume to him that anyone not calling for instant thermonuclear annihilation is part of Putin's neo Stalinist cyber hordes. I have seen a few people rapidly go down the line of "azov are antisemites/fash, therefore all ukraine is fash for allowing them to exist, ergo nato is fash for arming ukraine, all explained in this 3 hour video made by an obvious shill" with all other factors not seemingly relevant to them- and would apply a very different logic to their support of houthi actions against the house of saud for example the amount it happens is entirely out of proportion to the centrist whining about it, and they don't seem to stray into outright saying the invasion was legit or advocate openly for putin, but they do exist and it's been annoying/disappointing to see among some folk I followed on twitter fall for that poo poo

folk such as cadwalladr and owen jones occupy niches in mainstream discourse because they do not present a threat to capital by identifying and discussing parts/actions of the machine in isolation if anything they act as a pressure relief valve where the public can see some of the obvious corruption and hypocrisy discussed and "exposed" and be rightly outraged only to be continually distracted by the next petit outrage du jour and never seek actual remedies against the system that grieves them as a whole

Mebh posted:In other news, has anyone had any experience with ME/CFS and the NHS? My wife was diagnosed not too long ago and she handed me the symptom leaflet she got and its a huge checklist for everything that is me. I've been looking up ADHD interactions/similarities and dang. Everything about hypersensitivity, lethargy and pain. There's a lot of commonality. first up, sorry for your missus/you, me/cfs is horrendous loving shite, there's no two ways about it Diagnosis was based largely on testing for everything else it could be- it took 4 or 5 years of constant symptoms and blood tests, being told it was probably something else (lyme disease, borellia, some poo poo that was rare and just known by letters and numbers etc) then further scans and biopsies till the docs eventually gave up and packed me off to the me/cfs clinic because there were no more tests to run NHS care for cfs/me varies a fuckload depending on where you are- my care package was twofold, they sent me off to the occupational therapists and I'm technically on a waiting list for the pain clinic but lol maybe in a few years For the pain I'm on private script legal weed because it's the only thing that actually works- it's not cheap even if you get a discount (project T21) and it's a bunch of hassle compared with black market but it's legal and it works Occupational therapy sessions were a series of online small group meetings over a few weeks to push various strategies focused on energy management and acceptance and then get you to report back on how it went- a lot of it seemed counter intuitive and weird but having the peer/group setting and hearing other people's experiences helped and over time I picked up/practiced/developed some stuff that really helped me get a little productivity/predictability back- wish I could have some more of that poo poo.

Dabir posted:Hate to interrupt the mask chat, but does anyone know a decent place to buy men's belts? I've always gone to M&S whenever I had a gift card, but my waistband has shrunk just enough to hit a range they literally don't make belts in, and I'd rather not unwittingly buy something that's either made of cardboard or comically overpriced or both. zack hunter belts they make belts out of decent quality leather rather than layers of cheap poo poo or fake plasticy bullshit and with a bit of care they will last years and years- if they don't go small enough just grab an awl or punch or drill or whatever and make some more holes also they don't cost too much given how long they last

Dabir posted:Cheers, I'll look into them. I'm on my second and the first one is still very serviceable- at first the leather will be quite hard and stiff but it will soften up with a little time and wear After a few years if it starts to look a bit worn, or it looks dried out etc slather on some cheap leather feed stuff (I use stuff meant for my sofa) and put it in a ziploc bag over a radiator or somewhere else warm for a day or two to get it soaked in good, clean it up and dry it off and it will look great

This day is called the feast of Ed Balls: They that posted that day, and came safe home, Will stand a tip-toe when the day is named, And rouse them at the name of Ed Balls. They shall live this day, and see old age, Will yearly on the vigil feast their neighbours, And say ‘To-morrow is Ed Balls day:’ They will strip their rap sheet and show their sixers. And say ‘These wounds I had on Ed Balls day.’

corbyn was the compromise candidate, and that the mildest of centre left politics got such a rapid and visceral reaction from capital was illustrative both to the prospects of someone of similar ideological bent getting through and to the extent capital control of politics and the media ensures the utterly stage managed potemkin democracy we have it gets to the point where- thinking in isolation of the other horrific ramifications- the fact this civilisation is hosed is rather calming sometimes

southend has a new party- "confelicity" which is seemingly a pretty transparent effort by a former labour council candidate and director of the seafront attraction adventure island (and a bunch of other properties) to install a bunch of friendly councillors who just happen to be staff/related to people working at adventure island my green candidate hasn't leafleted or shown up and neither have the libs, tories leafleted entirely on local issues, current labour incumbent spent most of his big glossy leaflet talking himself up personally (he's so proud, goons) and conspicuously not mentioning the gently caress all he's been doing for years, and there's no kippers or other assorted poundland fash this time round gonna spoil that ballot so hard tomorrow

If you want to buy melatonin within the UK, you need a prescription, and there are a dozen online pharmacies with doctors who will sign off on it after you tick some boxes if your GP won't play ball The other option is grey market- while you can't buy it in the UK legally without a prescription, there's nothing stopping you buying it in a european or yank online health food shop and shipping it in, perfectly legal to possess and take it, provided you jump the right hoops

most british corruption is both largely legalised and normalised which is exactly how those PPE contracts went- you have the right connections, you make the right promises/spread the wealth and a juicy contract lands with you, or you work "closely with industry" as a government minister, do the right things for the right people then retire into a cushy directorship, or your spouse already works there, or has shares or you become an advisor or consultant while being a minister, do your favours quietly while still in position- no matter if you are earning cash on what should be a clear conflict of interest, provided you declare it for precisely three tenths of gently caress all people to care about and don't piss off a tabloid it's fine or poo poo like when the aircraft carriers were specced to be upgradeable to steam catapults, at the cost of billions of quid extra on the contract, then when they arrived they weren't upgradeable at all and all the cash was all gone- where? lol that's a state secret now or just rely on pure old nepotism and hire your kids to do-nothing jobs for 50k a year each on the expenses OwlFancier posted:ah hell yeah i like linkin park that album was actually pretty drat good not gonna lie not gonna stop mocking it either appreciation of music is complex

Restaurants? nationalised the food industry does display a great many problems inherent to capitalism but that's down to capitalism not the idea of preparing food for others In two jobs I have done it was a significant part of my job to cook and provide food for people and I loving loved preparing and cooking stuff and seeing folk chow down Also, I may be misremembering but wasn't that libcom twitter account pointed out as a bit suspect for some reason or other?
