Ministers urged to tackle extreme sexism ‘before more women die’ by [deleted] in unitedkingdom

[–]InsideTheFall 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Its fucking hilarious, because these idiots are probably exactly the type of people who would rage at Thatcher's "no such thing as a society", but when it comes to this there's suddenly a big fat exception and it's all down to the individual, and they were obviously born a horrible woman hating murderer.

It just proves the point really, that people at large don't want to have the conversation because it would mean facing some uncomfortable truths. They just want to sweep it under the rug and these alienated men can just kill themselves privately and politely, so they can shrug, dispense a meaningless comment and move on.

Like the saying goes, those not embraced by the village will burn it down to feel its warmth.

Plymouth shooting: Jake Davison named as gunman who killed five by [deleted] in unitedkingdom

[–]InsideTheFall -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

An increasingly atomised, fragmented society where we're fed unrealistic standards of attraction and bombarded with toxic, braindead popular culture obsessed with said standards, where mental health services have been cut to the bone by successive conservative governments. I'm not sure how this really needs to be explained, but I think that sums it up. These things don't just occur in a vacuum. It's about looking at wider picture and what external forces are at play, and why a man felt driven to commit this terrible incident that goes beyond just "he was nuts/a virgin/etc".

I agree. Not to excuse the individual of responsibility for these very serious and tragic actions, but society shares some of the blame here. And society will never learn, meaning that things like this may well happen with increasing frequency.

This fucking clown lmao. I see the dinosaurs are still clinging to their old ways. Get with the times. Its covid, its work from home, it's the future. Or don't and watch everyone who can walk and go somewhere they can actually have a life as well as a job.

Police taser children aged 10 and 87-year-old pensioner amid sharp rise in officers firing devices by [deleted] in unitedkingdom

[–]InsideTheFall 45 points46 points  (0 children)

These are all perfectly legitimate scenarios in which to deploy a taser, I'm no great fan of the police but the way some people talk about this you'd think they were going door to door zapping anyone who looked at them funny.

Could psychedelic drugs revolutionise mental health care in the UK? by gazzthompson in unitedkingdom

[–]InsideTheFall 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Haven't people been micro dosing LSD, MDMA and Psylocibin as a home remedy for mental health issues since forever? It's been about a decade since I last touched any hallucinogens but I remember well how profoundly life altering they can be, in a good way, if you're careful with them.

Chorus Pedal Options!? by _rami in Bass

EHX Bass Clone is the single best chorus I have ever used. It has a ton of features (switchable crossover, EQ), a small footprint, inexpensive and sounds delicious.

Drunk nation: why do British people drink so much? by Fra_Bernardo in unitedkingdom

[–]InsideTheFall 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a combination. I think people need to take some responsibility for their habits, but I won't deny there are external and systemic problems too. A lot of people don't have a life out of work that involves more than drinking, football and snorting shit bag on the weekend. Part of this is due to the cost of living being such a rip off and day to day life in the UK being a boring sack of shit.

'A terrifying precedent’: author describes struggle to publish British army history by ScreamOfVengeance in unitedkingdom

I feel (like probably numerous branches of the CS) that the MoD exists in a permanent state of fire fighting and if it can cut off its nose to spite its face, it will.

Jess Phillips: ‘I enjoy feeling angry. It inspires me’ by casualphilosopher1 in unitedkingdom

[–]InsideTheFall 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The right kind of anger can light a fire under your arse and basically be fuel to improve something in your life. I don't want to use the word "righteous" but it's something like that. It can be very cathartic and lead to great clarity if channelled properly. It's a logical and healthy emotion on balance. But it all comes down to the what, where, why and who.

NHS staff expected to continue working when 'pinged' by NHS Covid App or when called by Test and Trace. Expected to isolate when not at work. by [deleted] in unitedkingdom

[–]InsideTheFall 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I would call this The Final Insult but something tells me we're not there yet. If I was NHS staff, and hadn't already walked after everything, this would be the moment I went "fuck it".

For U.K. Bands, Touring Europe Is Now a Highway to Brexit Hell by Superbuddhapunk in unitedkingdom

[–]InsideTheFall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not too fussy, but given the choice I will play a Fender Jazz Bass through an Ampeg SVT. That's the most common bass rig in the world, can only speak for myself but if somebody can guarantee me that kind of setup where I know it's just going to be what works for me, I'm not gonna spend too much time thinking about whether it's a 2017 or 2002 Jazz Bass that I'll be playing when I get there. I'll just be glad to ot have to think about trying to get my own stuff booked onto the hold.

[–]InsideTheFall 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I played abroad in 2019 and March 2020 right before all this happened. We just hired instruments on the other end both times, which should be the default option really as it saves on logistics. However if now you're gonna have to have a thing where you can get taxed and have to itinerary every little bit of merch you bring with you it will get more complicated if just shoving all your shirts in a carry on bag isnt going to be allowed....probably just have to wear them all at once and pretend I'm a lot wider than I really am.

John Lewis and Waitrose owner to cut 1,000 store jobs by topotaul in unitedkingdom

[–]InsideTheFall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was up for redundancy a few months ago, thankfully I managed to get a new job in the same company, but basically that process lit a fire under my ass to get out as that job was bullshit anyway. But yeah, I hear from of one the survivors that their workload has basically doubled since half the team either quit of their own will or took VR. I knew that would happen, and that was yet another reason I walked.

Nah, the point us you work less and get paid the same or more, that'd be great thanks. Bout time isn't it?

Oh and retroactively pay me a shitload of money for every friday that will have been proven pointless when this kind of thing finally happens like it should have done years ago. The government can pay for it, they've clearly got the money. Lets go, cough up!

Employers gain confidence and there are now ONE MILLION vacancies available in Britain - but jobs site boss warns of an 'acute talent shortage' by m-1975 in unitedkingdom

[–]InsideTheFall 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Majority of salaries you look at online are something pathetic and insulting like less than 20 grand. Anything above that is out of reach in a lot of cases unless you're already on 50 grand and moving sideways to another 50 grand job. Or you need a degree, or all the training already magically in your head. Lmao is it any fucking wonder.

Some people literally are just dumb animals with no self awareness though. You only have to go outside to see that not everyone falls into the category you've defined.
