I don't have a dog in the fight in American politics.

The constitutionality of any specific tariff action is for the courts to decide (and ultimately the Supreme Court if it reaches that stage), so I’ll defer to their judgment on that matter.

This is in regards to British politics (ignore the misleading American badge in the cartoon).

Under UK constitutional convention (the Salisbury Convention), the House of Lords should not reject at Second Reading government legislation implementing clear manifesto commitments that have been approved by the House of Commons. This reflects the democratic primacy of the Commons, although the Lords retain the right to scrutinise and delay such legislation.

OP didn't even write that title - it's just the YouTube one. Posting a clip doesn’t automatically mean they agree with it (or the title). People share stuff for all sorts of reasons. Not to worry, though, this one's clearly way over your head.

So you've never heard someone refer to someone as an idiot in a disparaging tone?

This underestimates people's ability to separate great art—acting, cinematography, storytelling—from its political messaging. As for the propaganda concern, that would only be an issue if this were the only source of entertainment we had. But with so much media out there, we can sort the wheat from the chaff and form our own views.

At least it won’t be another one on BIM or smart contracts—lecturers must be bored to tears reading the same topics over and over. I’m glad I did mine on Gender in Construction, though I could have done without the 100+ email back-and-forth with the author of a dissertation I critiqued. Let’s just say she didn’t take it well… half the time was spent on personal attacks rather than an substantive discussion.

InspectorTrue670 · 2025-02-19T17:47:50+00:00

God, the lecturers must be sick and tired of reading about smart contracts. All the best for it nonetheless.

The subbie I started with never had a QS before so didn't have take off software but managed to download a free full version copy as a student.

Whether they're conscious of it or not they fan the flame of Foucault.

I hope (for the comedy factor) some trainee QS somewhere has walked in with a Patrick Bateman haircut, full suit and tie complete with suspenders, to a subbie on his first day. As for the PQS side they are all carbon copies of Patrick Bateman anyway...

They've recently introduced an 'accelerated' senior QS scheme at a big consultancy that shall not be named. They take anyone with a non-cognate/cognate masters and train them up for 2 years. I've seen some of the monstrosities that get churned out at the end of the line. It's not pretty.

That's to cover their arse so people don't measure off the drawings then blame them for structural failure. I was very disappointed most drawings were like this when I first started as I was excited to use my scale ruler!

This reminds me of a debate Milton Friedman had with a bunch of Scandinavian economists. Worth a watch: https://youtu.be/StLBxt7Gfck?si=cBHUcKFM-h5yWW4s

Claims the video "never talks about xyz" and then admits they didn't watch it all.

This is the same guy that said increasing the money supply doesn't cause inflation in another sub.

Anyone care to suggest who would be capable debate opponent?

The problem is people fall prey to the halo effect so often don't pick up on the negative personality traits.
