No harder than picking one of the other options online.

Outside that I think we’re aware of the introspection. Why does wanting both living make that any less?

Yeah this. How about both and we stop this shit.

Fucking truly forward thinking concept.

Probably because none of those are exclusively conservative values, they’re if anything, generally liberal ones.

It’s looking very much like exclusive conservative values are those of exclusion and prejudice.

This meme sums up the US in a big way. No responsibility.

Yep, there’s another one.

That’s what builds the community. Or binds it. Those things at that level that aren’t offered elsewhere to ordinary people.

Nope, nothing else offers an out from the fear of death.

If you can get hold of it, there’s a live set from a Big Day Out in Sydney getting around if you can find it.

I saw the Brisbane set. That was two days before the Sydney one, which incidentally was this date (26th), 2004 IIRC. It was one of the best live sets I’ve ever seen.

Amazing band. Live and on record.

This is another level to that.

Citizens are being shot in the streets. Look, you might find someone to galvanise it around but the sooner people take the hardship the better.

I don’t think they can though. Churchill was spot on.

So you stop work, stop trading where you can. You’re not going to get a figurehead or anything to galvanise around.

You just basically have to do it. You can’t organise this; enough have to care and it be bad enough to do it.

One week would be enough, but it would have to be a substantial amount of people.

It might be hard to believe but some things were worse back then in terms of quality and choice.

Potato chips or crisps are an example of this. Today they’re both better and there’s far more choice. I don’t find there to be a whole lot of difference in quality of fresh produce either but choices of both where to get it from and the range available is greatly improved.

Things like confectionery (especially chocolate) and processed foods are way worse though.

Mileage may vary elsewhere, I’m in Australia.

A petition I started motivated a group of rich people to buy a really important music venue and save it from being demolished.
