  • Why do we confuse 'needs' for 'wants' and vice versa?
    Because I dislocated my shoulder 5 times when I was younger, had an operation on it, and now I need to swim at least once a week - otherwise it hurts

    "On 21 January, the day after Chinese officials finally confirmed there was human to human transmission of the virus, the number of sick residents coming to the emergency room had already reached 1,523 in a day – three times the normal volume."

    funny how all the right wing newspapers in the US wrote these stories — Benkei

    They tried. It went underground. So much for that great idea. — Benkei

    Sounds like you're blaming the locals
  • Coronavirus
    You mistake local government action to not look bad in the eyes of the Party with a policy by the Party to cover it up. — Benkei

    You mistake (just in general):

    But the last thing we should allow this situation to do is to turn people against each other on the basis of race or nationality. Fuck that. — Baden

    Agreed.

    However, the chinese Wild-Animal Industry, wet markets and government all need to be shut down.
  • Coronavirus
    They're not the bad guys with respect to this pandemic. — Benkei

    Other than it being started there and the chinese government subsequently covering it up.

    The mass selling of surgical masks is really booming as a business, which makes little sense as those masks only help the infected not to infect the uninfected, but they really do next to nothing to prevent catching the virus — Mayor of Simpleton

    Are you positive about this?
  • Shame
    The child is 'naughty' because he is brought into a supermarket filled with delights and expected to understand the nonsense of property rights and so on. That is what is taught, and it drives us mad. — unenlightened

    I've started on a TYLEC course (basically teaching English to young learners, abroad) and we are being taught about classroom management techniques and how 'a certain level of manipulation is needed' through reward and punishment, praise and criticism.

    I don't really agree with this as I see a child be 'naughty' as something created by wider (mad) society. I think there is a better way than the reward and punishment route as I see this method as further imposing the ideals of society on the student. I just don't know what the better way is yet...

  • Brexit
    I myself will allways opt for Brussells rule to Moscow rule. The cacophony of the EU is far better than the single voice of Mr Putin. You see, all alone we'd have to listen to Vlad. — ssu

    How connected is Putin to Brexit?

    insist on your art being on more than a mere physical level, and more than just an idea someone had. — unenlightened

  • It's stupid, the Economy.
    For 10,000 years or so, our poor old brains have been working and working to make life easier - the wheel to save carrying and dragging stuff, roads to make wheeling easier, cooking to save chewing so much, the blender to save chewing at all. — unenlightened

    Blending food is stupid; we evolved to eat fruit and veg - not to drink it.

    Turn this down a bit as the audio is tinny (it was only officially posted on Facebook). The message, however, is loud and clear:
