It's all Jemrebly Clobrin's fault for setting the precedent of not stepping down upon being knifed repeatedly in the back by his own MPs. Horseshoe theory innit

Brendan Rodgers posted:I reckon CBT will age very poorly, maybe there's some real research there and the tories are just loving it up, but being "treated" by what seems to be a 20 year old who went on some seminars, and that treatment essentially coming down to her making me write a list of my bad thoughts and then promise not to think them, is some kafkaesque poo poo. CBT or CBT?

Is anyone itt a Chromecast wizard? Almost every device in my house (three laptops, my partner's phone) is able to cast to our TV (via a Chromecast dongle thingy) but my phone is not. It can't see the Chromecast as an option when you hit the cast button in any app, and the option isn't there at all in the Chrome browser. Both phones are Android, only possible wrinkle I can see is that mine is newer than the Chromecast while everything else was already in the house when we first set it up. Massive pita though. It won't even show up if I try to set it up in the Google Home app from scratch. On the same network, Bluetooth on, doing everything by the book.

You might belong in Prospect https://prospect.org.uk/tech-workers/ I'm a member and while it's not the most exciting or militant of unions it does have the benefit of not funding the Labour Party. And from meeting various people at conference recently there's a decent crew of solid lefties as well as the meltier contingent.

Prospect definitely isn't just techy, I'm in as part of the National Trust branch (our branch president spends most of his day felling trees and mending gates) and there's also archaeologists, various BBC/media types as part of Bectu, all sorts of poo poo. It's a really interesting and varied crowd to be honest.

Zalakwe posted:What are folks views on Prospect as a Union? I haven't been part of one since I left the civil service years ago but am now thinking of diving back in. I'm in Prospect and it's alright but my experience as part of a large branch is probably going to be different to yours as presumably just part of a region. If there's no current union presence in your office then you might as well start somewhere and you could certainly do worse than Prospect. (Mainly I just want a goonmeet at the next conference, you've all got two years to get involved)

jiggerypokery posted:If you opt out of a thought on ideology on disco elysium is it possible to get them to come back later? I did way too much fence sitting. I don't think so but there is one item of clothing per ideology which willtrigger the thought even if you haven't hit the point threshold. Not sure if it will give you a second bite at one you've already opted out of though. Although the quote that comes to mind is along the lines of "say one of these communist or fascist things or gently caress off"
