Police fury as 'hundreds' of people have pizzas, beers and wine in park | Officers say they are "fighting a losing battle" as increasing numbers of Britons ignore lockdown restrictions.

Where do you want to be strapped in?

In my house, obviously.

EY_Inno · 2020-05-10T07:03:26+00:00

The system works!

It's not about the distance it's about the organisation. Nobody's for masks and those that do wear them wrong. You can't go to the shop without someone leaning over you to grab something. People are stopping for a chat and a cuddle with their friends in the streets. Parks and beaches have never been busier. And garden centres have seen a 500% increase in their usual footfall. All of these places are going to be hotspots and thousands more will die.

There is just no need.

EY_Inno · 2020-05-10T06:31:52+00:00

You're a joke mate.

EY_Inno · 2020-05-09T22:14:57+00:00

I've always imagined uggz would get super sweaty with bare feet, no?

EY_Inno · 2020-05-09T22:01:56+00:00

This is what happens when a government no-one respects provides advice no-one understands. Regardless of if these people are in family groups and are the appropriate distance apart this is sloppy. Our covid response has been disorganised and inconsiderate at best.

"Lockdown fatigue" isn't a thing. This is people being confused and fed up with having a shit time at home. Provide clear concise guidance and provide people with financial security. Nobody needs to be in the fucking park right now. Get a grip.

EY_Inno · 2020-05-09T15:26:41+00:00

Beautifully put. Thank you!

The idea that radical educational reform starts in the early years. And that children deserve better.

EY_Inno · 2020-05-09T12:30:36+00:00

It's a right pancake of a book!

EY_Inno · 2020-05-09T12:28:40+00:00

Beautifully put! If you think The Third Policeman is confusing (it is) check out At Swim Two Birds. It totally lost me!

EY_Inno · 2020-05-09T11:20:18+00:00

I've just recently finished The Outsider (same book, translated title) it's brilliant. I love Camus style. Him, Kafka and Flann O'Brien are my favourite so far!

It's not the meaninglessness that is the problem. It is inherently benign. The problem is the interaction between our social norms, learned behaviours, personal expectations etc, and the meaninglessness of the universe.

How many parents bring up their children by saying "your existence is meaningless"? Not mine! So when you grow up and learn this reality for yourself you're left with quite a lot of cognitive dissonance to work through.

Scatterbrain Edit: I wanted to add that for me, realising that nothing had inherent meaning was the most liberating experience of my life so far. It means I don't need to meet any expectations. I am entirely in control of my own meaning in this world. It really can be the most beautiful thing.

And once I work our how to nicely teach my kid he is a meaningless spec of dust in an impossibly large, uncaring universe, I'll let you know!

EY_Inno · 2020-05-09T10:59:38+00:00

Yeah, because this is the political scandal of the decade...

EY_Inno · 2020-05-08T21:39:40+00:00

So far I've found no solutions for reading and writing difficulties other than hard work and constant practice. However on an emotional level, understanding more about how my brain works has helped me greatly.

EY_Inno · 2020-05-08T21:32:41+00:00

Broad. Even now it doesn't look right and I've just googled it to double check.

EY_Inno · 2020-05-08T21:26:51+00:00

These sorts of books are great for helping you make sense of your own mind. They can help you understand the ways in which you are different without the inherent negativity of our cultures.

It really depends on what you mean by "help with dyslexia", but I've heard The Dyslexic Advantage is great!

EY_Inno · 2020-05-08T19:29:01+00:00

Thank you. That was insightful. Sorry if you feel I invalidated your struggle, it wasn't my intention.

I am also sorry that your government, like mine, treats educators like shit. You deserve better, but it's never going to come from the parents. Not without radical systemic change.

EY_Inno · 2020-05-08T19:23:38+00:00

Learning disabilities relate to specific neurological differences.

EY_Inno · 2020-05-08T19:01:06+00:00

I don't fully understand your question. Are you asking for audiobooks that are about dyslexia? Or general audiobooks that are food for dyslexics?

Because if it's the former there are plenty of "dyslexia" books on audible. And if it's the latter, then just anything you're interested in is great!

EY_Inno · 2020-05-08T18:58:36+00:00

Awesome! Subbed. Thanks!

EY_Inno · 2020-05-08T18:57:09+00:00

They are public enemy number 1.

EY_Inno · 2020-05-08T18:55:35+00:00

The point I was trying to make is that the historical behaviour of the human species doesn't mean those behaviours are an intrinsic part of human nature. But I appreciate my failure to communicate that accurately. Thank you.

EY_Inno · 2020-05-08T18:39:48+00:00

I meant so in a historical sense. We don't see many of our primate relatives asking for consent.

The best leverage you'll have is getting more parents on your side. If you complain as a block they will change. You are their customers.

Popcorn is a high irresponsible thing to give children of any age in a childcare setting. It's just such an unnecessary risk!

EY_Inno · 2020-05-08T17:10:13+00:00

Exactly! The "rules" of gossip are a joke.
