News:

There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old's life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs.

People are freaking the fuck out over here because Labour have said - if they get in - they'll start teaching sex ed from age 5.

What they actually mean by that (and I've only heard them explain this once) is that they intend to start teaching kids what healthy relationships look like, what it means to have friends and so on, and not actually start the 'sex' bit until teenage years.

The other parties have roundly mocked this and favor a continuation of the 'let the little sods figure it out from the internet' programme which is currently in effect.

That's constructive. Sounds like America is spreading.
It sounds like you think you are joking. You are not, you speak the truth.
European policy is USA policy a decade late.

:horrormirth: That's terrible.

There don't need to be a Con. Just the immutable law of 'monkey see, monkey sure as fuck eventually do if the reward and punitive structure of habitat allow it'.

And at least some of these fools breathing my air really do believe all is permissible. And it is if you have enough permission slips to pay for it.  :|

Life can be seen as a game with no reset button, no extra lives, and if the power goes out there is no restarting.  If that's all you see life as you are not long for this world, and never will get it.

The first three months or so a large part of my job was mapping out public sector contacts and management structures.

Recently I've been asked to move on to the FTSE 250 and I have to say, there has been an immediate and drastic drop-off in the number of women and non-white individuals in the upper management/board level. I'd guesstimate the split was 40/60 women/men in the public sector... in the private sector it is more like 20/80.

I knew intellectually that this was the case from statistics and figures, but putting in the contact details for major companies and finding perhaps 2 or 3 women in the top jobs still seems weird.

So, after 8 hours of bullshit training today, I'm now doing a 12 hour overnight shift.

Yes, that's right, I'm working 20 hours out of the last 24.  My line manager and his manager see no problem with this.

It's a good thing for them I'm still in the indentured servitude phase of my contract (3 month probation), else I simply wouldnt be working tonight at all.

And as it is, I'm looking for alternative employment in LOndon.

Fuck the Aztecs, and the Mayans. Seriously fuck those savages. Sick and tired of you white liberal hippies trying to repaint them as noble savages before colonialism. The Aztecs in general were serious about having a good time paying blood tribute to the Corn God. Unlike those sissy Norse Gods Neo-Pagans won't shut the fuck about.
If it was up to me the majority of you privileged fucks would have had your heart fed to me already just because. In fact the only thing that would have killed me would have been either been a snake,jaguar,tainted water, or my brother because I took the big piece of chicken.
So come Easter start praying that I don't reincarnate into my final form. It's been forever since anyone has paid tribute to the Bear God, and I'm fucking pissed. It's ok I'm spraying Autism all over the Texas sky as Divine Wrath.
Good day jackasses good day.

They were just people, same as any other people. They weren't noble savages, they weren't bloodthirsty monsters, they were just people. So they practiced human sacrifice; so do we, we just do it somewhere far away so you don't have to look at it.

Sorry, I've just heard a little too much "fuck those bloodthirsty savages" lately and I'm starting to get a little sensitive about it. I know it's cool to be against whatever those other people are for, but maybe we could have a little less genocide-justifying manifest-destiny bullshit in with it.

Oh I know! No worries there. But there's some sort of meme drifting around Facebook that the natives deserved it, and it's alarming me because I think a fair number of people believe it.

So, despite having had no sleep, and one less member of staff than any other shift in the past three days, I've discovered a number of discrepancies in the last few days.

Not of anything important though, just the number of actual students present in the building.

Also somewhat how we all had been feeling yonder on this here left coast for some past three days or so.  I blame the incursion of gnostic deportificated [TM] [C] splinter cells, indeed, I do.

So more, or less?

I'm not sure which of those possibilities is more disturbing.
