"Stereotypes pitting "scroungers" against those in "genuine" need have been especially acute in the age of austerity."
Britain is in a poverty crisis. Over 14 million people (1 in 5) are living in poverty. Of these, 4 million, including 1 million children, are classed as destitute: regularly unable to meet basic needs for shelter, warmth, food and clothing.
Yeah, I'm sure Amazon's position as the owner of some programmers and a bigass greenscreen will allow their slop to synergize into ambrosia. Great interview, my guy, now do one in a few years where you explain it's the fault of Steam's monopolistic position your shit wasn't scarfed down by the masses.
"Mainstream academia has become profoundly anti-feminist and anti-woman. This is something that Daly predicted would happen in the 1970s, and so it has come to pass."
In late 2000, I was visiting a friend who was studying film. One of her tutors was presenting a work “on queer love” and my friend invited me to come along. She felt that as someone taking an arts PhD…
"I personally think that another influence lies in the bizarre modern ideology that insists that everything that people have always done is so much harder now, against all evidence."
they say time is the fire in which we burn
There's too many, but I won't lie if I take any few lines from L. Cohen's "The Future":
"Your servant here, he has been told
To say it clear, to say it cold
It's over, it ain't going any further
And now the wheels of heaven stop
You feel the devil's riding crop
Get ready for the future: It is murder"
Go fuck yourself Wired. This used to be a cool magazine written by people in the know, now it's Murdoch-grade fearmongering.
I thought I liked it and that it had enough users, thank you for setting me straight.
River of slop will break the levee
It might interest you to know how ID MEPs voted on chat control last time it was proposed.
Yeah, fair, they're not a great option for anything. I suppose, if it passes, I'll see then who voted it in and make a shitlist.
Yes, I know, I voted for them as hard as I could at the time, apparently there were dozens of us.
Thank you for molding my point into something that's easier for everyone to understand.
What's your definition of a trollbot? I don't often express political opinions of any kind, but I feel really strong about private communication and even though I only mentioned a legitimate party that's in the EU parliament I am denied personhood. I am usually on the same side as the people proclaiming me a bot. Try to see how your devaluing of others' positions by denying they're human or thinking for themselves comes across. It's thought-terminating cliches and snarky soundbites all the way down.
These ‘useful idiots’ are exactly the far right-wing officials who get repoortedly bribed by China and Russia, and are criticized by their own party members for their incompetence.
Why not all of them, in different domains? What would you call MPs who vote for this without understanding how it works and why it's untenable? I'd sooner call them useful idiots and those getting bribes something else, they're at least getting paid.
Gladly, they are certainly most aligned with my beliefs, but we don't have one of those.
Or a person expressing what you consider an unpalatable opinion, we'll never know.
EU making its citizens lose faith in the project. I don't care if I have to give my votes to the far right (ID is against, I guess) not one of those useful idiots voting for this gets a vote from me for as long as live.
Just to add a perspective, I wouldn't take my kids there if it was free.
Fuck you Mozilla, if I see a single ad from you I'm off.
I'd recommend you don't sweat the time at all. Unless you enjoy the competitive aspect and are willing to train hard, that is. Even then, I've witnessed people who are into racing get discouraged from cycling as they age and their results stop being competitive at a certain level. I like randonneuring because it makes you haul ass, but leaves you enough leeway to enjoy the experience as an adventure and a challenge. I have written a bit about a few rides, if you are interested.
Yeah, but the dude who makes my sandwiches might be one as well...
