Serious / Re: Nicki Minaj is apparently a Nazi
« on: November 11, 2014, 02:38:48 PM »
I'm not seeing entirely the problem with Nazificated video, although I've no fucking idea why it's there. The song theme has little to no relation to it from what I gather about "real niggers" and "thick bitches" they mention a lot.

I think it's more to generate some frenzy (The whole "There is no bad publicity") and I guess it distracts you from the terrible music itself because you're trying to figure out what the fuck is going on.

I see the bad publicity has worked, as we are even talking about it.

A watered out version of psychology, I think, and it's watered out for the reason that you have more mouths to feed.
Well loosely it's the study of how society operates and develops, but it's a pretty broad field and I don't mean it unkindly or disparagingly when I say it's just watered down psychology >_>
But it is.

Ah right. Just keep bumping into them and wondering how large their classes are...

Media Studies.

Not really related, but what is "Sociology"? I keep meeting people at parties who are doing this, and I just get the feeling it isn't one of those super serious degrees.

What course are you doing again?
Philosophy, Politics and Economics.

Placement is the way to go for an insurance, that way if you do go there you can make yourself known and have a foot in the door for later (assuming you don't fuck it up).

Absolutely no where near Frankie Boyle tier. He's practically Barry Chuckle compared to him. Sure, he makes the occasional vulgar "I'd bang her ahyuck hyuck kno what i mean ;^)" joke, but that's about as far is he goes. The furthest boundary I've ever seen him cross is like one rape joke he made.

Hmm, weird. All that fuss over small things while Jimmy Carr and Franky Boyle can go insane. Perhaps because he's a small fry so they can stop his career early (or he's just not a very good comedian).

I mean, c'mon:

Anywho, the work placement for a year is pretty good if you wanna get connections (or maybe even a job) when you finish the course. Anything East Anglia offers over Essex?

Hmm, that guy was gonna have a gig at my Student's Union, but I think there's some sort of campaign to not have him here anymore.

Ah well, don't know him anyway. On a scale of Light hearted humour to Franky Boyle, how "shocking" is his material?

The Flood / Re: Remembrance Day
« on: November 11, 2014, 11:07:33 AM »
And before Tblocks makes another comment, no it wasn't a minority of troops in NI who did wrong, read up on a little history.

I could just ask my Uncle, that's a ton of a lot easier. And it certainly isn't a majority doing wrong there either. I may dislike Britain over it's activities in NI, but you're exaggerating this far too much.

Both sides of the conflicts there were ruthless, like in all wars in human history and I'd argue there are far worse things that happened in other wars than in NI. Doesn't mean they didn't happen and they shouldn't be remembered also, but you're angry over a small speck of dirt amongst a pile of corpses, where remembrance day tries to get us past that and be grateful that it isn't like that now...for us, at least.

The Flood / Re: What's your favorite alcohol for partying?
« on: November 11, 2014, 02:02:41 AM »
Guinness and Tequila Slammers.

Tequila for the hard stuff or when I'm not adequately buzzed, and Guinness for long drinking games and to wash down other spirits that I hate but inevitably down anyway.

Two ways. Some drama goes on in the next Anarch- *ahem*... Penguin Party weekend, and it rakes in practically everyone who posts consistently, or we just go down the tank due to inactivity and the ad revenue for the site dries up.

Highly unlikely is that a mod or even Cheat himself goes schizo and carpet bans the lot of us.

The Flood / Re: How do you prefer your facial hair?
« on: November 10, 2014, 04:21:58 PM »
On the most part, clean shaven.

I would like a bushy beard (kinda like my Green Khan avatar, but without the...beard pony-tail?), it seems it's a fad amongst Geologists. Gotta wait until my facial hair isn't just weirdly distributed before I even consider it, however...

Serious / Re: Here's an idea: let's give each other political labels
« on: November 10, 2014, 04:19:47 PM »
Politic-critical, possibly Socialist?

I have no idea what I am exactly on as the political-associating words mean nothing to me (mostly due to the American Political parties having similar-ish names as the UK, but then having completely contrasting policies)

cost on the NHS in the long term.
Obese people and smokers are actually cheaper to treat.

Where'd obese people come into this? I'm talking about liver cirrhosis, organ transplants, treatment for alcoholics, mental capacity and wellbeing for general life, all that stuff that comes with alcohol. A rise in price means less consumption, and at the very least the tax hike covers the cost of the damage alcohol does.

People get to live longer, meaning they work for longer, meaning they pay taxes longer, and now at a tad higher rate.

5207
I ended up with £21.2 Billion.

For the record I would've cut just the Ministry of Sport and cut spending in just England by 10%, but that option wasn't available.
dem taxes doe

Makes sense to me to rise alcohol and tobacco. Other than the instantaneous cash flow, you're reducing the damage it causes, reducing the pressure and therefore cost on the NHS in the long term.

The other stuff is just because the rich are rich and I dislike that.  :P

It's a sort of two-edgded sword if it's not managed correctly.

Think if Google got bigger and wasn't as nice - A monopoly in virtually all technology sectors, charging prices whatever it feels like with little options or competition, particularly if it held "business deals", aka a cartel in the industry with Apple and Samsung and Windows.

But restricting growth of companies can create a more localised problem, like the US' internet troubles. Limiting expansion or growth means an area might only have one option, meaning that company can impose whatever the fuck it likes unless you're lucky to have more than two companies in your area.

I'd say something along the lines of how telephone companies work here in the UK is fair - Allowing companies to share the wires of another (e.g. TalkTalk and others using British Telecom wiring), means you can still allow companies to expand as far as they like, but that area is overlain with other companies also, regardless of size. This in fact would aid start-up companies as it saves them money building up infrastructure when they can share the rest, and improve on areas they control. The only places with limited choice would be isolated areas such as mountainous Wales and Scotland, where there is choice but just not much improvement in quality over the other due to limited infrastructure and investment in the area.

On the downside, this could hamper overall development, as BT doesn't want to improve the wires at their expense when everybody else is going to freeload off it.

Now awaiting to see what they've done to Flood/Infection itself.

I mean the model is nice, but it's gonna wear off very fucking quickly if they pull the same shit like Halo 4.

Sometimes. Depends really if I have time and if I can be arsed or not.

Have to iron shirts and jeans though, it's just a thing I do after washing them, regardless of my cba status.

If you had seen what I saw at a Burger King at 1am last night, you'd have a different outlook on this.

Imagine a drunk granny wearing a frilly tight dress, only it somehow had wedgded itself firmly between her ass-crack. Now, immediately stop thinking about it before you start cerebral hemorrhaging.
