It's now the Irish politics thread, that's getting the posts, no joke Jack.


I want him and zizek to have a fight, or a contest to see who can scarf it down faster. Or one followed by the other.

zizek would win both, obviously

The council is the local government authority which usually encompasses a city, but I think in london they have several for different parts of the city because it's a big, densely populated place. Up here we have more like a county scale because there's fewer people living in each settlement.

I do not feel it necessary or helpful to defend media creeps out of some wider LGBT solidarity, nor to be honest do I want to be particular associated with them by way of that idea.

I'm not really seeing how we get from gay people thinking they're going to abuse children to it being necessary to accept weird technically-legal relationships like this?

I don't think we should do either of them for exactly the same reason in each case.

I believe in the UK if the characters are underage it is still illegal, and it's been that way for quite a while.

I don't know what the offence is specifically, possibly one of the obscenity ones, I dunno. But I'm sure I remember a long time ago hearing that the UK considers it illegal but the US I think does not. It presumably varies by where you are in the world.

It's funny I went out today to get some PPE for my new job which the company is paying for, so hopefully they take it seriously, got some very nice S3 boots out of it. Certainly makes a change from my last job where I had to buy my own equipment.

It just seems baffling that what I assume is pretty skilled labour would also go with the disposable labour model. Surely you just end up with people effectively working full time anyway or being incredibly poo poo at the job. Though I suppose "functionally doing a full time job with none of the benefits" is the other side of gig economy bullshit from the one I was on.

E: on a related note actually, does anyone know if you can get, like, XL hard hat suspensions? The one I have just barely fits on my gigantic head but I'd like one that goes under my occipital bone a bit better so I can ratchet it on properly.

That has, I think, got significantly worse since musk took over and a lot of the leftier people exited the platform and he started using the system to push more right wing stuff.

Heat pumps are just a useful technology though, and a technology we already use in things like fridges, it's like Ug writing screeds against Og for inventing the round wheel when there's nothing loving wrong with our square ones.

Also even if their reasons at the time were not explicity just racism I don't have very much faith in the upstanding moral character of people who take refuge in the kind of nostalgia the brexit brigade were pushing.

If nigel farage standing in front of a billboard full of a line of people saying "this is all the immigrants and we have to keep them out" didn't put you off then there's something wrong with you whether or not at the time you were a dyed in the wool EDL member.

Perhaps people who have money are also bad at thinking about saving it. My parents constantly whine about how expensive things are but they also spend stupid amounts of money renovating things in the house that don't need renovating but have at no point considered improving the windows, puting solar panels on, new boiler etc. They could afford it easily but apparently just don't think about it. Just mindless consumption of stupid poo poo and watching house flipping programs that give them more stupid loving ideas.

It's possible he's one of the people that just have it anyway because twitter is broken.

He does also have a pretty massive twitter following so maybe he just thinks it's useful.

It is possible to simultaneously think the EU is bad but also not trust the vast majority of other people who thought that at the time of the referendum, and who subsequently voted conservative over it, because they probably thought it for extremely stupid reasons.

Why is it that women can fight clad only in a pointy bra, g-string and high-heeled, thigh-high leather boots while men need all that armour. Same on cop shows on tv, or the women are sometimes allowed a sleeveless, strappy vest over the pointy bra (but only if they are female physicists eg Dr Christmas Jones)

The warhammer lot do at least kind of even the playing field.



So you get dominatrix nuns in titty armour but it's still roughly the amount of protection on most tanks.

Historically if the government takes out private loans and doesn't want to pay them back the solution was to kill and/or expel the people who lent them money.
