I think it's going to be ironic, in a lib sort of way, where Superman discovers that America bad, and that some deep state shadow agency is colluding with a foreign entity, but then Superman saves the day and America becomes the good and true America that America was always destined to be.

I think cishet people are prone to very gendered problems in relationships, and in general a lot of relationships from the outside do look terrible. But a lot of it is so normalised that it doesn't seem particularly shocking.

But then I talk to people in queer relationships and realise once you pull back the veil of normative gendered relationships there's a whole new layer of insanity and neuroticism in most people to deal with under that layer anyway.

Pretty much, yeah. There's a video where they run up on a guy's car and try to drag him out of, while people saying 'kill him' can be heard. They dragged him out of the car and beat him, but I think he got away in the end.

I saw some reports of a minor stabbing too but the algorithm is making it hard to find.

He's not just a fedora guy, he was a Tory local election candidate!

probably your immediate reaction to defend yourself and your gender. If you hadn't been trained, your knee jerk reaction would be to look for ways to accept a viewpoint like that, rather than to poke a hole in it. I know it sounds serious and scoldy, but just let it sit with you for a while.

Perhaps I'm projecting, but I noticed it was something I was guilty of at times.

Hot take, but to be honest, the whole 'bullying works' thing always came off as quite lame.

It's online discourse. You don't seem tough. You seem like the leftist stereotype of a keyboard warrior.

The chances are, a lot of leftists were probably on the 'bullied' side of the spectrum - more so than the right wing kids who were more likely to have been the bully. This could be too much extrapolation, but sometimes it seems like some deeper psychological impulse to enact justice on behalf of your younger self, and feel powerful.

Yeah. Our salaries are fucked.

Up til recently (pre 12 years of Tories), salaries were a bit better, but mostly the cost of living was in line with the salaries, when you factor in all of the good public healthcare services and railways, even arts/culture.

Then they privatised all the railways and began making the NHS more and more private, while depressing wages of anything that wasn't to do with financial speculation and property.

In London that's all multiplied - finance is very rich, and your average non finance salary should conform to the set London Living Wage (which is higher than the rest of England). The London Living Wage is now however disproportionate to the cost of living. My rents gone up by 300 quid in 3 years, while my house and location have gotten worse and worse.

And now here we are. Pretty much everyone's feeling it. Anything that's not a fat moneymaker is shutting down, so the city has become more and more soulless, giving even less reason to live there other than to chase a bigger salary.

The worst nightmares I've ever had have all been work related. It feels like poison.

You know when you start scanning items to hit the required rate in your dreams. And then it happens a few times. And then you wake up and go to work to scan items to hit the required work rate. And then you get home to sleep. And then it happens again.

Is anti-semetic with an E an Americanism? I hear it all the time.

IT'S SEMITIC. WITH AN 'i' AS IN SEMITE. NOT SEMETE.
