Also, when do they start printing ballot papers in the US? You've got what, 200+ million voters? That's a lot of paper that somebody needs to pulp and replace (and crucially, not fuck up when they do so)

I'm really sorry. I was in a similar place a few years ago and I still remember how hopeless everything seemed at the time. Nothing I say can "fix" things, but I truly believe that there is still hope for the future. The bastards haven't won the war yet. Please take care in the meantime.

No, you haven't. The ones who have truly lost hope are dead. Those who are still with us still have a shred of hope that tomorrow will be better than today. It can be a miserable experience, but while that shred remains, you can go on living.

Sturgeon-Murrell scandal, followed by our leader resigning a week before the election was called, followed by unimaginative election messaging that failed to fire up SNP swing voters. Apparently the core ~34% of SNP voters stayed pretty solid, but not the rest.

There isn't really an institutional left in British politics anymore Listen to Starmer's victory speech again and notice how much time he spends talking about how important "changing the party" was in securing this victory. He's justifying the purge of every left-wing member in the party since '19

Which is stupid, cos what are you scared of? That you might die too? Everyone dies eventually, but some people die sooner than others, and if the bad ones die first, it decreases the likelihood that you will die early too.

(Also reserved for O- recipients who literally can't receive anything else) Oh, also also. Because O+ people make up something like a third of Americans and Europeans, the blood types they can receive are greatly limited. Almost everyone can receive O+, but O+ recipients can only receive O+ or O-.

Yeah, but a massive chunk of the population is O+. Factor in those who are A+, B+, or AB+ and the percentage who can benefit from an O+ transfusion skyrockets. O- is usually reserved for "this person needs blood but we don't have time to check their blood type" situations.

Experience, aggression/seizing the initiative, and positioning (having the weather gauge) were far more important factors than simple firepower in pretty much every naval engagement in history. (I know you know all this, John)

Also, history is full of ships with a much greater deficiency in firepower absolutely kicking the arse of larger, heavier ships. 64 guns v 72 is basically a peer-peer challenge. See HMS Speedy's victory over the El Gamo for an example of what I mean.

To be clear, the general sentiment among SNP members is frustration at a complete lack of response from the disciplinary bodies, but a) most of the TERFs buggered off to join Salmond's ego trip, and b) there are a few MPs and MSPs that we refuse to discipline because we're terrified of a lawsuit

Green Party in England and Wales had a batshit anti-trans period a few years ago, I don't know if they still are.

Paging @eidyngray.scot since he was the one who clued me in on this on the other place a few years back.

The SNP has its own problems, mostly that we refuse to boot out JCKCMP

In the face of climate change, that's not really something we can afford anymore. I do believe that we can transition peacefully from modern capitalism to a more sustainable system without drastically reducing anyone's standard of living. But there comes a point where that isn't capitalism anymore.

The thing is, there have been times in the history of capitalism when it was less exploitative (the post-war boom and the ubiquity of trade unionism is the period I'm thinking of), but that period was still dominated by unsustainable waste and consumerism.

If the initial plunder is invested in, say, industrialisation, then that pays dividends later. Dividends that aren't available to the colonised societies.

Yeah, the British Empire looted £1 trillion from India and spent £2 trn over the next 2 centuries, but that £1 trn was extremely front-loaded (numbers are illustrative, not accurate).

There is also the question of how the initial influx of wealth from colonialism can actually turbo-charge a colonialist economy, even if the empire continues to cling onto the colonies long after the period of profitability.

Also, more Japanese-Americans left the internment camps than were interned. It was still a horrendously racist act by the US government, but there is no comparing the fate of Japanese-Americans to that of European Jews.

Re: where the suction comes from; you inhale air when the diaphragm pulls down on the pleural sac. This creates a negative pressure, which is equalised by the expansion of the alveoli in the lungs. If the teeth are sucking the blood up into snake-like glands then it could employ a similar mechanism

I think they have a muscle that squeezes the venom sac. Not sure which muscle, but I would imagine it's linked to the bite reflex, so one of the jaw muscles maybe?
