What a time to be alive. As opposed to dead of a heart attack. Because of the defibrilator.

Reveilled posted:https://twitter.com/PolitlcsUK/status/1784333851755516333?t=QjGhkm6C-VYzLpAGfUwpKw The phrase "key Alba targets" is so loving funny. By my count they ran 110 council candidates in 2022 & managed 12,335 votes, or an average of 112 first choice votes per ward off a turnout nationally of 1.8 million, or about 0.7%. They didn't win a single seat. The Greens managed 110,000 votes. The year before at the Holyrood election Alba managed slightly better, 45,000 votes on a 2.7m turnout or 1.6%, while the apparently fringe extremist Greens got over 220,000. Their best result in the Regional vote was 2.3% in North-East Scotland, where they ran Alex Salmond. Which was less than half the Lib Dems managed & they didn't even get a seat because the Greens beat them for 4th. Why the gently caress would the SNP stand aside for ex-Tory, Labour & SNP member Tasmina Ahmed-Sheikh just because she worked on Alex Salmond's RT show until he was forced to shitcan it after the invasion of Ukraine? Or Neale Hanvey, a guy who claim the Scottish Government were trying to reduce the age of consent to 10 despite all evidence to the contrary?

Right now they're a joke but there's likely some tipping point where long-time SNP voters will start considering other options the way Tory voters in England are now, and unlike Reform who are battling against first past the post, Alba could actually pick up list seats. I hope I'm wrong! Honestly I think the transphobia thing is going to be the albatross around their necks because notionally their original selling point was "full focus on independence" and now it's "full focus on transphobia". If they'd had the good sense not to descend into alienating anyone with non-transphobic views, they could be doing well now presenting themselves as "SNP Classic, before Sturgeon and her husband corrupted it". They basically just latched onto the first controversial thing within the Indy movement and made it their brand, and now it's a bigger part of their identity than independence, they're the nationalists who hate trans people.

Good time to launch my campaign where if we have to keep the cursed things then let's build a nice long, deep channel from the Channel to the middle of the Cotswolds or the Home Counties to store the subs & their warheads.

I'd love to know when they thought the 'healthy society' was. My mam's generation, when they had outside toilets and were checked for worms and malnutrition at school? My grandad's when you worked with minimal PPE and the occasional industrial war? My great grandma's when you had no NHS or antibiotics and had to rely on charity for diphtheria serum? My great great grandad's where he buried half of his 8 kids? The Black Death? jk it's the fascist golden age of the past, it always is.

There was a pretty good study released in either Feb or March I think which shows that almost uniformly everyone says the decade when they were in their 20's to 30's is the 'best' decade.

Hm, 2002 to 2012. The decade of playing Warcraft, sleeping in until 3pm, skipping lectures and still acing exams only to be kicked out of uni for failing attendance, forgetting to apply for my student loan and having to move back in with my mum. Only to get addicted to another MMO. Yeah. No.

I was lucky enough to go to uni in the 1990's just before tuition fees kicked in and when student accommodation was still absurdly cheap. I would literally do a factory job during the summers and that would bring me in enough to cover my rent for the following academic year. A lost age.

I think I'm living my best decade right now providing I can stop being a fat gently caress and eating snacks before bed after everyone has gone to bed and get back to working out. I need a gym buddy  motivating hefting weights around is hard.

Might have mentioned before, but my FIL has been surveying people he talks to for decades about the best 5 year period in their lives (emotionally, socially, professionally, financially, etc). The consensus answer seems to be "40-45"

sinky posted:Turning into the Gestapo as part of a local election campaign Don't you have to have a bit more engagement with voters to actually make this strategy work? Can't imagine very many people are going to the polls because they see a five minute segment on GB News or a TokTik about rounding up asylum seekers, when that same audience is convinced everything is collapsing under some past-tense-of-awake Armageddon and don't believe Sunak can do anything about it. At least have a rally or something. Oh, nobody would turn up.

Not for me, I actually prefer the 80s which were the first 9 years of my life and also the best. I have so many good memories from then. It took a turn downwards in the 90s with the big economic crisis we had in Finland followed by an austerity wave that's still hurting people today in 2024. I was too young to catch the details but I could feel the vibe, I could also see how stores started closing down while people and services moved away and so on the downwards spiral has continued.

It only gets harder the older you get  I wish I'd started some exercise discipline in my youth, but to be honest the only 'Gym' nearby when I was growing up was a dingy proper rough OLYMPIA FITNESS in Redcar. Did a year or so gymming in my mid-thirties in Newcastle and saw some good results but fell off, a few years before Covid that got me a slim as I've been in years, and then after I absolutely ballooned over Lockdown the past 18 months have been a struggle to get back to a reasonable equilibrium. I try and do 3 gyms a week, but some days the will just isn't there.Personally the motivating the weights is mostly doable, but motivating doing cardio to burn off some excess? Impossible mode.
