Reveilled posted:In Scotland, you have the Scottish Parliament doing the state-level legislating, then below it are the Councils, and that's it. No local government below the "county" level. There are community councils in Scotland, but they aren't legislative bodies. There are also the seven regional transport partnerships that are government bodies but not part of the local authorities.

I don't think it's worth laughing about. Boris is going to stand down at the next GE and go somewhere to be rich off the back of killing close to 1% of the UK population, and half the people he's throwing under the bus on his way out were going to lose anyway. I'll laugh when they're in jail and not before - so never.

ThomasPaine posted:If you actually believe that every single Brexit voter was a big dumb racist as opposed to someone deeply unhappy with the status quo falling for the false promises of superficial but essentially unchallenged populist rhetoric out of desperation then I think you're probably a lib dem centrist dad or at the very least quite silly. I don't believe that everyone who voted for Brexit is a racist oval office. But I do believe that everyone who still wants Brexit is a racist oval office.

Either they've moved on or have gotten quieter about how they voted Moved on, mostly. Brexiteers are in the main inherently dishonest. In the face of disaster the right wing ones will never admit they were wrong to vote for it, and the left wing ones will never admit that they did vote for it. Tess is a rare exception.

Failed Imagineer posted:Up to and including David Gilmour apparently, who has always been a wanker Gilmour was in great part incensed by Waters taking dictatorial control of the band, making an album that was entirely about himself and his own vision, then sacking Rick Wright for not contributing. Hard to argue that Waters wasn't a fascist on that tour, and indeed he wouldn't try it himself.

What's worrying about the Tory Party splitting down the middle and potentially collapsing the government over what is very obviously personal issues rather than ideology?

A friend of mine inflicted an episode on me and there literally weren't any jokes in it. One of the male leads who isn't David Schwimmer opens the door and enters the apartment. The laugh track goes off. My friend laughs, a Pavlovian response. Repeat for 23 minutes. I can see why you evidently like it though.

forkboy84 posted:It's entirely possible to just not think Friends was very funny. There's nothing performative about it. Thank you. I expect bullshit like "you don't like what I like, you must just be performative" from the loving fash. I don't expect it here. I never liked Bottom - IMO it was just The Young Ones with more slapstick violence and less good characters and jokes, a complete waste of Rik Mayall - but there's plenty of TV comedies that are good and funny. Red Dwarf has aged a bit, but it still hits when it hits. In sketch comedy Not the Nine O'clock News remains terrifyingly relevant for a topical show - Race and Responsibility, National Wealth Beds and Constable Savage could have been written yesterday instead of over 40 years ago. My benchmark for humourless cunts is set by a simple standard: if you can't watch Dave Allen's Irish funeral sketch without cracking a grin at least once, then it's you. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=20xstCWkBco

keep punching joe posted:Being a hetro cis male I'm probably not the best judge, but other than some archaic language used around gender Rocky Horror seems like a fairly humane and progressive film about sexuality. Excuse me? Frank is a sexual predator who seduces both halves of a couple by pretending to be their partner and has literally created a personal sex slave to replace his ex-boyfriend who he murdered - twice. He's not exactly a positive portrayal!

He would play second life and making all manners of weird noises at night, and occasionally during the day march around the backyard holding a union jack with a paw print on it. We even found his blog one day where we discovered he had burned down his family home one time because his fursona was a dragon or something. He also would draw dragon porn and post it online. That's the extent of my furry experience. Buy Camrath's fudge, expand your horizons.
