There's so much to digest in this video that I can't even really start. The misunderstanding, the entitlement, the economic illiteracy. Just horrible people. When the revolution comes they will be made comfortable against their will and forced to boil piss until their passing.

*pulling out the monkey paw shaped defib* Scotgoons, what does this "women what wheesht" phrase mean. I know it's a ScoTERF phrase but I didn't read enough of The Broons But Horrible to understand the meaning.

Kinda funny that I remembered it as "women what wheesht" rather than "women won't wheesht" because of the equally vacuous "women who mensturate"

a pipe smoking dog posted:I think its more that there are a lot of kids with less previous exposure to strep because they were living in lockdown when they would normally be picking up less serious versions in playschool or nursery, so their immune system isn't coping. Strep A normally kills a couple of kids a year but it's hitting harder this year despite there not being any evidence of mutation. Yeah, that makes the most sense given the distribution. loving horrible to think how much we rely on constantly getting mildly sick to not get majorly sick.

Thing is I don't necessarily mind if people ask where I'm from but generally it's because it's someone else with more diverse heritage than "white British" curious about a fellow funny tinge haver. I guess if a snobby white woman was asking it while waving calipers I'd feel differently about it.

Yeah, definitely asking "where are you from" getting an English town and going "yeah no where are you really from, Negroid" with the italics part silent but audible, that's a different ball game to "ah nice, and what's your family heritage?" and if they aren't happy to say then shutting the gently caress up.

# ¿ Dec 3, 2022 17:52 |

That's true, normally I only ask "where are you from" to someone with an obviously non-local accent. I guess to someone as inbred as the queen's advisor a normal London accent does sound non-local.

Once you've been there that long, having it as the first question you get when you meet someone new is tedious. I do recommend finding something better. First question certainly not. If I don't even know you're name I'm not gonna narrow my eyes and hiss-whisper "Geordie?"

Darth Walrus posted:The Guardian still does investigative journalism at more or less the same level as the Times, and is slightly less overt in its right-wing bullshit most of the time (if only because Times opinion columns can get truly, insanely awful on a level that even the Guardian's TERF brigade have difficulty reaching). It does but it also puts out "BOMBSHELL: Brexit has raised the price of cotton socks 4%, WHAT DID BORIS KNOW?" style of headlines that make me roll my eyes so hard the optic nerve frays.

RE Jeremy Vine, TrashFuture have a bonus episode where they actually sit down and talk with him and he is pretty open that his show has some of the dumbest, most arrogant shitheads in our country call in, and he's well aware of it. He also thinks it's useful to have a mainstream outlet for stupid dogshit opinions because it's both a national thermometer and a national pressure release for insane people.

WhatEvil posted:Any sign at all that he realises that airing that dogshit also spreads and normalises it? Well he specifically said how during lockdown he wasn't allowed to air specific views on covid and the vaccine and that Facebook/etc. groups took his silence as proof that it was a conspiracy, leading to an overall greater uptick in social media believing that it being the one thing he wasn't allowed to countenance proved it was Actually Real. When I first listened to the episode I thought he was full of poo poo but over time I've started to come around to concept that we might actually be a brain diseased society of rat people.

But that's the problem, some people don't realise the cost efficiency to be made there - they see "heating being on" -> "I'm bleeding out the arse to pay bills" and end up freezing themselves.

Yeah we had a contingent who you could head down the local after work and there'd nearly always be someone there any day of the week. Hell sometimes the hardest question we'd face on a given day was which one to head to. The one next door, the one round the corner one way or the one round the corner the other then one of us started dating the manager at the other one round the corner and it basically became our fiefdom
