Imagining people who do evil things to be devoid of empathy is a way of comforting oneself, because we all know that we feel empathy and therefore are not the kind of person who could do *that.* It’s much scarier to know that a conglomeration of circumstances can turn basically anybody bad.

Delightful also to hear real eagle noises. In movies eagles are always dubbed with hawks, since hawks found fierce and eagles sound like adorable squeakers.

If your primary way of learning about history is listening to podcasts where some guy giggles and makes fun of it while not having any specialist interest in the subject then you probably know even less than nothing

You don’t want a new Halo game. You want to be 15 again. It’s the same reason Call of Duty “isn’t fun anymore”. It’s not really any different than it used to be. You’re just older now and there are a million of them. No MP FPS is gonna make you feel like a teenager again.

some of you may not grasp this because you only regularly speak to a ten person reading group who are afraid to go outside, but in the real world, most normies' political views are determined entirely by osmosis from what is floating in the air, which means less bad stuff floating = better

I think the internet has really given a lot of people a Sadly skewed perspective on getting good at things. You can watch all the technique videos, get all the fanciest tools, know all the theory of a thing and the reality is that you will still suck at it wheb you actually do it AND THAT'S OK.

On becoming an elected public servant you should have your social media accounts deleted, your phone smashed into little bitty bits, and be forced to actually speak with the people in your constituency rather than desperately hoovering up comment sections like they're instant, reliable polling.

Our society's unfathomable cruelty to homeless people is not just morally unjustifiable, but more expensive than housing people would be. Cruelty against the homeless is an unaffordable luxury. Abandoning homeless people to avoid offending the Protestant work ethic is an unaffordable luxury.

When I was unemployed during the Great Recession, everything on the TV was about how you should hate the unemployed. Every time I got a job there'd be other staff who just hated the unemployed but not me. I was okay. They've done this to so many groups since and they have got so much better at it.

“this person is bad so their work was always bad” is also a really dangerous view to take because it leads to - unconscious or not - a bias towards “but I do like this other person’s work, ergo they must be a good person” which, as we have seen over and over, is simply not true

I am honest to god in favour of almost any compensatory mechanism for oil and gas workers you can think of because, you know, why not. But their industry simply needs to be killed and we cannot reach any kind of productive consensus until we agree on that basic principle.

MAD KENNY: hello, i’m Mad Kenny. i have a litany of previous convictions and now i’m drunk and suicidal and i’m going to go out in a 160mph fireball THE JUSTICE SYSTEM: that’s okay, you can drive again in a few years

Footage shows a road menace grandad who threatened to cause carnage on the Coast Road before doing 125mph despite police repeatedly ramming him. Kenneth Davison
rang police at 8am on Wednesday April 8 this year telling a 999 call handler he was "Mad Kenny".
Behaving erratically and aggressively, the 61-year-old asked to speak to the officer in command. He said he was going to cause carnage on the Coast Road and said it needed to be closed because he was going to drive at 160mph and "go bang". He said he would "end it all" and asked for the road to be closed so no one else got hurt.

Davison, of Ellington Close, Newcastle, who has 17 previous convictions, pleaded guilty to dangerous driving, failing to stop after an accident and failing to provide a specimen. He was sentenced to 14 months suspended for 18 months with 150 hours unpaid work, an alcohol abstinence monitoring requirement for 120 days and was banned from driving for 30 months.

I don't like autoplay on video streaming services and turn it off if I can, but I understand why it exists for playing the next episode of a series. What I don't understand is when something entirely unrelated plays. Who on earth finishes a movie and then watches a random thing without pausing.

On a whim, I watched Black Narcissus last night, cos there’s never a reason not to. It’s basically a 1940s Shitty Green Screen film. Nobody is anywhere real. It’s entirely studio bound. But because every effect is handmade, and it’s thematically defensible, every shot is an act of wilful magic.
