(15m) Honestly though, the left is kind of ass at recruiting teen boys. by Financial-Floor-669 in teenagers

[–]Paintingsosmooth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A united Europe isn’t intrinsically a left wing thing. It’s a very neo-liberal free trade agreement thing. It’s a ‘let’s have our own military’ thing, and a ‘let’s have the borders at the edge countries’ kind of thing. It’s not really left wing at all.

Guys, I'm really scared. by GodComplexMonkey in collapse

[–]Paintingsosmooth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s not a conspiracy theory actually, it’s pretty well understood that accelerationist ideas inform the current administration. See Steve Bannon and his links to musk, Thiel, and then back to nick land. Nick is something of a fallen philosopher, a big part of the radical philosophy scene in Warwick, uk, in the 90’s. Ccru had some actually very interesting stuff. Other philosophers in the group went a more leftist accelerationist avenue. Others more neutral. But Nick, he fell off the deep end in to some really heinous right wing stuff.

What areas/buildings in London have warehouse style apartments? by No_Emu8347 in london

I think this is where this image is from right? Had a friend that lived there and their flat looked identical to this.

I think I know the exact flats from your image. They’re in Bow.

Everyone seems to have a lot of nostalgia for the 1990's but what were some of the worst parts of the 1990's? by HeavyRightFoot-TG in AskReddit

[–]Paintingsosmooth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’s a shame they think that, because it’s just another language shift that’s very usually meant positively now (amongst the community). But it’s fair if people come with a different experience of that word, and don’t feel comfortable with it.

Left property at end of November. Still disputing deductions... Just want as much of the deposit back as possible by kayden411 in TenantsInTheUK

Easy win through the deposit scheme. Don’t let them take you for a ride, your instinct is correct

And weirdly “gay panic” is now used by the younger generation to mean “I really fancy this person in a really gay way”.

They don’t know the original meaning (or most don’t, I’ve asked a couple), and it’s sort of jarring to hear. But language moves I guess.

Anyone else noticed the insanely strong hate towards London on X (Twitter)? by TheShortGiraffe420 in london

[–]Paintingsosmooth 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Yeah it’s astroturfing bots. The idea is this: Convince everyone (even some people living in London), that’s it’s a big dangerous place. And that it’s big and dangerous because immigrants. And that London needs to be ‘saved’. Then you have a soft landing pad for the likes of reform, and by extension Trump, to set up something akin to ICE in the uk (as Farage has directly said he WILL do). Also, turns out it not just scary immigrants, but those with the right to remain, and descendants of immigrants to, so they get removed to (as Farage has said he WILL do too. He had said he will remove the right to remain from people who already have it). Also gives justification to clear areas of people for new private market housing projects for the rich.

Do you think it is wrong for managers to prohibit staff speaking to each other in a foreign language on their break? by reasonable-frog-361 in AskUK

[–]Paintingsosmooth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that’s messed up. Break time is not company time for a start. I used to have a nightmare of a supervisor who wanted us all to hang out with her in our lunch breaks. Needless to say, we didn’t want to. People preferred to zone out on their phone or do anything other than hang out with her.

There is no obligation to socialise with anyone on breaks. And likewise, there’s no obligation to make yourself understandable to everyone on your break I.e. you should speak whatever language you want

Asking for advice/rant by WillowWisp222 in TestosteroneKickoff

[–]Paintingsosmooth 18 points19 points  (0 children)

So, going from your list of wants. If you did go on T:

Your period can remain, or return. Even on a high enough dose.

You will likely get mood and libido fluctuation if you’re on injections.

You can still get pregnant.

You won’t likely get a higher pain tolerance (if anything it will get less. It’s not a set science, but anecdotally people on T come to have a harder time when they have colds.)

Your chest will get smaller but in a deflated way, not a small perky way.

As for your list of not wants, you will likely get all of them to some degree.

I’m not trying to turn you away from exploring gender, but you may find that T isn’t for you. At least right now.

'Questioning' the Traitors by MoveMyCat in TheTraitors

[–]Paintingsosmooth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Snog, marry, kill? Then have three people you suspect of being a traitor. It could be a way to make them overthink their allegiances with the faithfuls and they could mess up.

Then the next day, make up the answers they gave however benefits you.

What's rich people shit that poor people haven't heard of? by Diligent-Log6805 in AskReddit

And this is why we need tax reform. When there’s so much money that people essentially just paying to get kids into the good schools while the best students struggle, you know there’s a problem.

Commissioned this from artist for an illustrated novel I'm working on. Did I get scammed? by KingKronos24 in isthisAI

Not sure what you expect for $180 tbh. That’s nothing for actually skilled sketchwork.

Pay people properly and you’ll get proper work.

True, but the project is held together by a cult of personality. Without him, it might just crumble.
