@J_Myles_TIR I’ve always said Del is one of my all time fav MCs ever… Although I got introduced to his brilliance later in the game during his Deltron 3030 era with Automator… His early stuff is still 💥obviously…
Nobody wants your digital ID shite, nobody even wants your modern age. They want cheaper bills and a roof over their head, taxing billionaires would be a bonus too.
I'm struggling to think of a worse, more unnecessary hill for any government to choose to die on.
One million people have already signed a petition against ID cards. If we’re serious about rebuilding trust, this is the last place to start.
It's like deciding to become a pacifist and then walking into your roughest local pub and knocking everyone's pints out of their hands.
It's actually mind boggling.
The Tony Blair Institute has received millions of pounds from the Saudi dictatorship.
When they are interviewed, this is never pointed out. Why?
On the BBC earlier, I made this point - and why it's relevant to them supporting attacks on civil liberties.
@BadMouse101 It’s been fun watching you go from anarchist, to Marxist Leninist back to wherever you are now - although I think you were hiding some of your cards there, your outright ML advocations weren’t so clear to me until you said later… Minus perhaps your old East Germany video…
If you think you need to end immigration in order to end sexual violence and raise wages and workers rights in this country, I think you’re being a dinlo. Especially if you think ending immigration is the primary key to resolving those important issues. You’re missing the point.
I have respect for certain politicians and parliamentarians. But I have say I think anarchists are correct. One should learn to organise in their community and utilise those skills to bring broader change nationally and globally. Wishing for a ‘daddy’ perpetuates the same issues
@J_Myles_TIR Gary’s great! This Dan bellend also misses the point, global society can’t fucking function if everyone’s an entrepreneur. We can’t do shit without essential workers. And no one should be too broke to feed their kids simply bc they happen to not be a successful entrepreneur
So much bs politics centres around people wanting a “daddy” to just fix our problems and make them go away… There is no fucking “daddy”, they’re all cunts. WE fix our problems by learning to mutually, democratically organise together. Why capitulate to some demagogue nobcheese?
The argument isn’t either, or necessarily. I think CI is brilliant, especially in conjunction with Anki as both reinforce vocab and solidify comprehension. It’s just that CI entirely on its own is likely to be slow and not get you to the ‘fluent in 2 yrs’ many hope for…
I see this debate in the language learning sphere popping up everywhere about ‘comprehensible input’. From my lay perspective as someone that’s learning and utilising CI, I don’t think it’s that deep. I’m sure that one *could learn entirely through CI particularly if it’s…
…a closely aligned language eg Spanish to Portuguese vs English to Japanese… But it’s probably A LOT slower and time consuming if you don’t add additions such as spaced reps through the likes of ‘Anki’ to embed vocab and lesson material of some description…
@BadMouse101 With your immensely overt Bristolian ‘Australian accent’ apparently 😂 You’re not that obviously Bristolian tbf… Although it defo came out more in your last vid…
Social media doesn’t exist to change people’s mind. You’re generally just preaching to the choir or triggering those that don’t agree. V occasionally knocking off a few fence sitters, only if you have a following. Facts and sound argument ain’t bollocks to do with it.
The reason Kendrick’s performance was likely “underwhelming” and “mid” to YOU is likely the same reason NASCAR is boring to me….
I’m NOT the intended audience. And that’s okay.
But you’d never see me go out of my way to make sure NASCAR fans knew my unsolicited opinion.
@ProfSteveKeen@meadwaj I enjoy listening to both of you gents. It’s interesting to see you both disagree… As a v lay person on economics, I have to ask, is your disagreement essentially about whether we should take the concept of MMT seriously or not?
