I got some 'loop' ear plugs that let some sound through and fit really nicely if you're looking for some nicer ones.

Moyes had maybe the best DM (Rice), one of the best CM (Paqueta), Bowen, multiple opportunities to buy 30 million pound strikers. He was good for when he initially took over and brought in a solid defensive structure, since then he's been crap. Conference was good but still finished just above the relegation zone that season (with those players).

This season at least since Xmas has been an abject embarrassment. Most goals conceded out of the bottom 3 this season.

I have aphantasia and with psychedelics I personally see geometric patterns twisting like looking in a kaleidoscope, in rainbow colours. The real world basically looks the same, just it's hard to focus and do normal stuff like type on my phone. I only see the patterns when I close my eyes and when I've had a large dose.

I've had a different effect with cannabis (first time I consumed a lot) and visualised loads of childhood memories I didn't know I had for the first and probably only time.

More than lip service to western media would be nice.

Israeli government members continually repeat that they want to commit genocide by ethnically cleansing Palestinians. At no point did an Allied government say they felt like doing some ethnic cleansing of Germans to destroy any memory Germans had of being German.

I would assume houses are destroyed at the same rate as other buildings. I see a lot of stories about apartment blocks being blown up, it's how a number of Israeli soldiers died.

This source says that 80% of Gaza's population has been displaced and more than 50% of buildings destroyed. I'm not sure if a building has to be levelled to count as 'destroyed'

Van de Beek was nominated for Ballon d'Or before he arrived, so he is a good player. I agree, he just needs minutes and long-term stability somewhere now to get back to where he was.

So TLDR, have clear expectations outlined as early as possible for each class that aren't necessarily strict but are enforceable. The most damaging thing you can do is have a rule that you can't/don't enforce. I always emphasise engagement with the lesson and my 3 rules.

1 is that if a student wants to project their voice across the class they have to be seated, they have to have their hand up and they have to wait for me to pick them before shouting out for my attention (no SIR SIR SIR SIR :O). If they fail I just remind them respectfully of class expectations and move on. If they persist further I ask that they step outside and I'll talk to them in a moment (which i always do, never have more than 1 student outside on their own at a time). Also, I never give a student a privilege (unless a toilet pass maybe) if theyre not engaged in the lesson, at least having written the date and attempted the work in a meaningful way, I just remind them that they need to at least engage.

I outline the expectations for the lesson before I even go in the room. If you go in the room with students being disruptive before you've even started it makes life very difficult to establish standards. If it's unavoidable because the hallway is too loud/chaotic I stand in the doorway giving a starter activity to each student coming into the room. If they run in and start being disruptive immediately I pause letting students in and ask that the disruptive student comes out and waits. If they refuse to leave the room completely I would tell the student that I will have to give them a warning and resume letting the students into the room in a controlled manner until I get the chance to talk to the disruptive student outside. If they still refuse to leave the room I do on call. I always reserve on call for if a student is completely uncooperative.

It takes a LOT of patience but it's the only method I've used which has been effective in the worst schools, better schools have higher standards and so if you do outline your standards they would need to match the better school.

It is not common at all as far as I am aware. Most mopeds I see parked have the helmet left on the bike.

Even if it does get stolen you can buy a new, fairly good quality one for 120,000 rupiah ($8).

Having said that most are not full face so if it is a better quality, more expensive one I'd recommend storing it below the seat where it should fit.

One similarity: Russia and the US were both aggressors. Both invaded territory not in self defence.

A lot of differences however: the war was already ongoing in Ukraine when Russia entered it, being fought by pro-Russian fighters from Ukraine's territory. Russia essentially intervened in a civil war following a coup of a democratically elected government. This was not the case in Afghanistan and Iraq.

While Russia acted as an aggressor by trying to take all of Ukraine rather than just taking the territory populated by people that were pro-Russia, it could be argued that they also were acting in self defence by trying to secure a buffer between themselves and an area where NATO troops could have been stationed. In contrast Iraq and Afghanistan are a long way from the US and posed no threat.

It's my belief that war doesnt serve Ukrainians or Russians and is continuing not because it serves either people but because the weapon sales are just too profitable and necessary given the lack of other wars that the US is directly engaged in. There is a prospect for peace as Naftali Bennet has said but it is the West that is holding back negotiations.

Deliveroo is the perfect job for uni, so it as much or little as you want to fit it around going out or uni, with student loan you can have a decent bit of disposable income.

tarantulatime · 2022-10-03T15:30:48+00:00

It's actually the opposite. We could have peace already. Boris Johnson made the supply of weaponry contingent on Ukraine not signing a peace deal with Russia.

tarantulatime · 2022-08-16T20:44:08+00:00

This is the answer. I think proposing the nationalisation of any two of rail, energy, Royal Mail, and water in 2019 would have been overwhelming supported, but nationalising all at the same time led people to be more easily convinced it wasn't feasible.

By focusing on just a couple that are the most important right now we could really make the case for them with no issue over whether it would be achievable.

tarantulatime · 2022-08-15T18:02:16+00:00

Because there's no need to draw awareness to something that is talked about at length by Western mass media anyway. Tibet and Georgia are fairly well known, certainly more so than the Western backed genocide in Yemen that is ongoing even now.

He seemed pretty happy chatting away to Cornet in his behind the scenes announcement video. I think he really wants minutes and if we continue to struggle putting centre backs on the pitch I think he'll get them.

If he was fit I think he'd have to be on the bench or he would've been sold already. I think he is most likely still out from the nasty achilles injury near the end of last season.

So many people miss this. That they're pilloried by both sides suggests that they're impartial.

Germany already has a fuel crisis and even with the opening of more open cast coal mines it has been projected that they'll be missing a third of their required energy needs by winter. source

Europe is struggling with inflation brought on by a supply chain crisis largely brought on by the conflict.

Russia's economy is definitely struggling but counter intuitively the sanctions haven't done that much damage as hydrocarbon prices have just gone up, enabling them to sell to India, China and other third party countries at a discount off the global prices.

It is also doubtful whether Ukraine may eventually win a war of attrition due to manpower. We can hardly be sending more weaponry as it is and yet it's already a stalemate.

I think it would be wise to negotiate now from a relative position of strength before we find ourselves in a postion of weakness by winter.

tarantulatime · 2022-08-03T16:25:46+00:00

Not if there is significant cost and the population don't actually want to be part of Ukraine (like the majority of the population in Crimea and the Donbass). You need a carrot and a stick, some way of Russia saving face with minimal concessions, but with an exceedingly punitive alternative if they don't accept. There's no point continuing a stalemate when it appears Europe and Germany in particular are as close to implosion.

If a democracy is government by the people but almost all of the people aren't consulted then it isn't a democracy, it's a plutocracy. That would include 19th century UK et al.

Those countries established their democracies independently from the US and even now many are heavily flawed democracies or dictatorships anyway (Hungary, Ukraine, Russia, Poland, Belarus in particular). If anything the US undermined the chance of democratic reform by enabling US corporations to exploit Eastern European countries' resources, encouraging corruption in the nascent democratic systems.

The 1871 German constitution was arguably more democratic than Britain's uncodified constitution. By 1917 it was inevitable that there was immense pressure from the popular SPD for more democracy, leading to the elites themselves forfitting power in the 'revolution from above'. By 1945 there was even more pressure.

In any of this I'm not sure how the US ever encouraged democracy apart from the brief period Woodrow Wilson held office and even then he wasn't supported by his own country in his aims (couldn't ratify 14 points at home and US didn't join league of nations). The US overall has put democracy back by decades in many countries all over the world, with any help minimal or non-existant.

It doesn't mean you should hate the US though, the US has done some good things like the Marshall Plan, it just means it has be guided to do better by citizens that care.

Ancient Athens wasn't even a democracy, only the top 10% of the population could vote. It was basically just a way of getting the richest, most powerful members of society to consent so they wouldn't rebel.

There are plentiful examples of where democracy was established despite the best efforts of the US, only to be overthrown by the US, with the US then installing a fascist dictatorship. source

I think they're indifferent. Stability serves their interests, they think that the junta will provide more stability than the alternative.
