    Intoxication log

    Am comfortably drunk. Weird day: they wanted us back in the office for one day for the new CEO to announce some bullshit. 1.30pm onwards was a pub sesh. Ended up on a table with woman from accounts (59) and her son (early 30s) and she started throwing back Pinots. Son said he needed to head home...

    Why Conspiracy Theories?

    Bit disappointed there's never been a Satanic panic conspiracy theory involving the smoke trails left after the '86 Challenger disaster. The Horned God rises: Is this the return of Saturn himself? An ungodly, mocking humanoid entity ascends from the wreckage, arms raised in triumph

    karma swaps

    If you mean you feel like you're carrying the cross for some other smug fucker's sins...sure, every day, lol. But do you mean people who swoop in with a cheap imitation of something you've spent years doing, and then win all the prizes? Like, how Frankie Boyle made it by doing a lousy...

    semiotext(e)

    Can confirm Luka is innocent of all aforementioned charges. The lunatics responsible won't be named, unless I get really drunk.

    Rittenhouse Trial

    Today's been staggeringly boring, analysing video footage and squabbling.

    Rittenhouse Trial

    From what I can gather, it makes it a federal crime, which is more of a life sentence if you're sent down. Short version is: his older friend in Wisconsin bought the gun for him because he was underage. Rittenhouse lived in Illinois, so if he'd carried the gun over the state line it would have...

    Rittenhouse Trial

    I've been watching it nearly every afternoon and evening. Quite a few LOL moments, like when the guy from Car Doctor was brought on as a witness. The defence is saying "He was attacked and defended himself with lethal force, as is his constitutional right" and the prosecution's "He went in...

    COINBASE for Crypto has come

    This thread sucks. You're supposed to be giving us fellow Dissensians crypto tips, but it's just a load of blather about algorithms and AI. Meanwhile, Mr Tech-Illiterate over here is reclining and sipping a Whisky & Sour, and surveying his SHIB and QNT gains :cool:

    COP26

    Galloway's live on RT now and just said "They're crying into their cucumber smoothies...this could all have been done on Zoom, by the way. WAR is the biggest threat to the environment." Flicking between this, COP and the Rittenhouse trial. Top afternoon.

    COP26

    Blah blah, poised to accelerate the energy transition, blah blah, net zero infrastructure strategy, electrify the future, carbon neutrality, Greta Thunberg does something, levelling up agenda, onshore wind prospectus, innovation hub, 2030, 2050, next Tuesday, everyone leaves the hall for a...

    what are you reading now?

    Was sorting out books to chuck or give to Sue Ryder (can’t be fucked with all the hassle of eBay for £2-3) and came across “The Floodgates of Anarchy” by Stuart Christie and Albert Meltzer. Christie was a barrowboy who got banged up for trying to blow up Franco; he passed away last year. Meltzer...

    Universally agreed terrible film(s)

    I suppose Shallow Hal and the Sex & The City film are two abortions nobody’s going to reappraise ‘til Hell freezes over. (ETA not Shallow Hal, the Paris Hilton one where she has a fat mate) Triumph Of The Will hasn’t fared well over the years either. From the critics’ POV, Hallmark films are...

    what does dialectical mean?

    I'd have to contest the disqualification of dialectic by reference to an implied trivalent synthesis, Derrida literally choking laughing, pocketing philosophy students'lunch money.

    how many pints can you drink?

    Think if you were hung like a horse you'd spend your evenings cradling it affectionately, or showing it off to all and sundry - not go out in the cold to sink 14 pints and yell NWA lyrics at a taxi driver at 3am.

    The french

    Yeah, that's kind of how I remember it. Like Southampton, only with more junkies choking on benches. Going down the subway was like The French Connection, though - all low-lighting and plastic orange seats. And there was a really nice Lebanese restaurant, but I've no clue if it's still there.

    Dub

    Wanted to contribute "Femi Dub (Love Me)" by Delroy Witter but all the versions on Boobtube are the wrong song. I and I don't deal with Spotify so it might be there - if it suddenly starts playing backwards, about 12 seconds in, you've probably found it. Anyway, think this is my favourite dub...
