Now is the season of our discontent and there is no son of York to make it glorious summer. Unless someone arms Prince Harry I guess?

Jose posted:I've watched a couple of films for the first time twice as a result of watching them shitfaced on planes. Alas it was the guy ritchie king Arthur film and one of the newer star wars films Planes are the place to watch shite films. Not like you're in a state of mind to analyze something good, or likely to be able to pay proper attention anyway with all the noise and people needing the loo and drinks and food being served and all. Either watch some shite or watch something good but action. I watched Fury Road three times in a row on one flight it loving ruled lmao

Beefeater1980 posted:Wrap it up guys the energy economy is over: finally we know how the UK will survive and prosper from Brexit: through the cunning brutality and brutal cunning of Mork and Gork e; In 1916 the British government concluded an agreement with Sharif of Mecca Hussein bin Ali whereby he would launch the Great Arab Revolt and, in return, the British would recognize a unified Arab state that emerged, one proposed to extend from Aleppo to Yemen. This agreement was definitely not made with no intention of being honored, and after the war's conclusion the Middle East was definitely not divided up according to the Sykes-Picot Agreement with France instead.

I don't think it's remarkable if the Tories are losing the Red Wall again, wasn't the thinking always that concerns of Brexit were a huge factor, and with that done and dusted one way or the other, most of those seats should be back in play (All else being equal)?

It is an interesting constitutional question about what happens if a part of an existing country wants to join the US and how that would work. I uh, I don't think Scotland would be super eager for that path though. I mean I assume it's just as any other part wanting to become a state really, and it's actually more a political than constitutional question, but you know.

Comrade Fakename posted:I’m not sure I’ve done a single bit of work for the cops. AFAIK, that’s all side content, if you don’t want to do it don’t do it. It doesn’t clash with the principles of the game, anyway. You’re not playing a revolutionary, you’re a working guy in a world that everyone accepts and hates. It’s a dystopia in every way, it’s ultra-hyper capitalism gone amuck, and also neoliberalism where people simply can’t imagine a different world to the point where a news anchor literally has to explain the concept of a trade union to the audience (as terrorism, of course). They work with the cops because why wouldn’t they? They can’t imagine any different than a system where armed mercenaries are paid job-by-job to shoot up crack dens. Ehhhh kinda, like yeah some of it is very much deliberately "This has become so normalized that everyone accepts it unthinkingly" (The ads are a perfect example, they've clearly just kept on advancing until "Literally Experience Eating rear end" is perfectly acceptable to advertise omnipresently) and you're meant to be just another dipshit in the machine, but as an open world game there feels like there's a disharmony between narrative and gameplay expectations. Like, maybe it shouldn't be possible to succeed in effecting long-term or real change, but you should definitely be able to go and try do things that make a material dent in the corps or whatever. We're playing it to live out our awesome future cybernetic fantasies, so being railroaded into "Actually things are poo poo and only ever getting worse, you cannot even *attempt* to change this" is just... not that fun? Especially given, you know, the whole Johnny Silverhand thing. If there was ever an opportunity for the setting to tell a story about trying to change things (However that ended up) it was here. They tried to hype it up as "How do you keep yourself centered, how do you even know which thoughts are yours and which are Johnny's?", but they largely bungled that because A) Your 'disagreements' are mostly you two sniping at each other, and B) It would have been far more interesting if there was an actual tension between what should be done and how to do it, e.g. you might come to agree with Johnny about things needing to change, but you can try to build a community to do it rather than taking his route, or something. Ending spoilers: It also doesn't help that if you take a particular course, they completely stick to their word and if anything exceed it, spending what must be incredible sums of money to give you MONTHS of medical treatment in an orbital facility, and then offer you something that is seen during the game as perhaps the most elite thing available to the world's wealthiest, bypassing any cost or wait times. Like, that goes well beyond "Fine this person did something that benefits us, cut them a check and tell them to gently caress off." The thing is that it doesn't feel like a statement on things being hopeless/finding meaning despite the state of the world/etc., what it feels like is they themselves lacked vision as much as the inhabitants of Night City. I made a big post in Games about it regarding my thoughts and ultimately my question was "Why use this setting?" - there's nothing said here that hasn't been said in a Grand Theft Auto or even Saint's Row.

OwlFancier posted:If you really want antisocial gardening than pampas grass is a good one, it's a big horrible mess that also has serrated leaves that gently caress you up if you brush past them. Also highly invasive and gets these massive stalks that I assume spray seeds within several miles. For some unfathomable reason my grandma had a huge pampas plant in the middle of our front garden for most of my childhood. It was a huge misplaced monster that would razor you up good, and we had to either let it grow like something from a horror movie or pay some poor underprepared gardener to come and deal with it. Eventually my dad just said "gently caress it" and chopped the thing to shreds then uprooted the stump, so I guess he had some positive attributes as well.

I mean, if the fact that we could follow the US gleefully and zealously into Gulf War II despite being in the EU doesn't convince him that we can be as bloodthirsty as we wish without consequence, I don't know what would. And the fact that EU countries other than us have been involved in all America's wars for decades, and almost all of the EU was aboard GW I and the Afghanistan invasion? Also lmao does he not know what a federation is or is it literally "I love Europe and I want a Federal States of Europe but the idea of some Bundeskanzler saying "Maybe we should make sure there's real evidence before we bomb that country flat for the fourth time?" makes my blood boil"?

*In extremely Guardian voice* Did the problems from Brexit stem from the radical trans lobby? writes JK Burchill Those who are blissfully uninformed about the state of trans "discourse" on Twitter and the tidal wave of hatred received by anyone who questions the trans orthodoxy might be surprised at this idea, but consider that it was a transition period. Had we instead opted for a cissition period, there is little question that leaving the EU would have been much less painful, and perhaps we may even have been able to stop Jeremy Corbyn from doing Brexit in the first place.

NotJustANumber99 posted:Sounds like bunkum. The queen is all about having no opinion and I can't imagine her allowing blair to force her into secretly having one about him. The queen is all about having no public opinion - it's an open secret that behind the scenes she has Strong ones and is entirely willing to tell people what those are. It's just that she has enough of a head on her shoulders to want to keep her head on her shoulders, so she makes drat sure that said opinions stay very strictly private, and in public is mostly about opening wazzock factories or whatever it is the royals do.
