kingturnip posted:A Labour win under Starmer at the next election will result in a Tory win at the following GE and possibly another 10-15 years of utter misery. That's optimistic. If Starmer wins then it will confirm the narrative that Labour can only win as a right wing party, and if he wins by a large margin as expected he will immediately purge the party left as he will no longer need them. Five more years of Tories will trash the country before maybe someone gets in who will try to restore the cycle of "Labour build, Tories destroy", but five years of Starmer will usher in permanent Tory hegemony. This is not a choice between good and bad. It's a choice between bad now or bad forever.

Failed Imagineer posted:There is precisely one point to be extracted from Supersize Me, and it's in the title of the movie. Because he set the rule of always saying yes to the supersizing, he ended up eating way over his TDEE (alcoholism notwithstanding). The super-sizing question is insidious and bad and leads to bad health outcomes, but also it's like "well loving obviously", and I don't think they even did that in Europe even before the movie The specific rule was that Spurlock would never ask for a super size meal himself, but he would always accept if it were offered. The whole point wasn't that people were eating themselves into terrible shape, which as you say is a "well loving obviously"; it was that they were being encouraged to do so. Regarding his alcohol problems at the time: they're not relevant and it's grossly deceptive to bring them up in this way. He wasn't warned that his liver was getting hosed in by the alcohol, he was warned that it was basically turning into foie gras. Alcohol has nothing to do with that; it was down to his fat consumption.

Guavanaut posted:So it's more of the same "no, we're National Socialists bro, we just want the exact same thing as the fascists by the exact same methods as the fascists and we're fully best buds with the fascists" Hitlerian BS. No, it's not that. The Tory oval office is saying "we can't be Nazis because the Nazis were National Socialists and we're not socialist", with a hidden bonus implication of "furthermore it is left wingers who are the real Nazis and that's why they hate Jews."

Tijuana Bibliophile posted:Sweden has like a disco elysium style bottle recycling scheme. It's works pretty well, the tare is enough that you could just put a can on the ground and be pretty sure it'll be recycled, in urban settings at least. Germany is the same; there's a small tax on every recyclable bottle, and most supermarkets have a machine to deposit them in that gives you the choice of getting a refund or donating it to charity.

Guavanaut posted:Point them to Iran as a good example of what happens when a fringe religious minority ends up on top at a time of constitutional upheaval. I don't think that "look what happened in Iran when they set a religious leader over the secular government" is a particularly clever or effective way to defend a Muslim from anyone who would vote for Kate Forbes.

Tesseraction posted:Kinda wild how I went from thinking "okay give him a chance" after he won the leadership contest to quietly thinking the best case scenario is he takes office and then immediately dies* and someone even moderately less poo poo is elected in his place. I don't think it would be good if someone killed Starmer. It would be blamed on Corbynists even if - perhaps particularly if - the killer shouted "Sieg Heil" as he did the deed and proclaimed his love for Hitler, Johnson and Farage in court.

Z the IVth posted:Anyone who suggests cats as a humane solution to a rodent infestation has not seen the corpse of a pregnant mouse at the end of a 3m trail of blood and a proud kitty sat on the other end. Or our rabbit, who was wild born (probably a cross with an escaped pet, by her colour) and when she was tiny was dragged into someone's house by a cat. Thankfully it thought its humans were well trained enough to have a go at hunting nearly unharmed prey, or she'd have been like that mouse. She's nearly five years old now and still gets panicked by any sudden movement.

I would suggest that a moment's reflection might lead you to realise that one thing you are not likely to do with a Muslim is have a pint. However, I am certain that you are already aware of this and are just being a bigoted oval office.
