    Jack and Considine shouldn't be anywhere near Scotland squad, beyond Considines nice little charity cap

    I've not paid much attention to Rangers this season because, quite frankly, I do not care. But has Ryan Jack not been one of their standout performers over the last two seasons?

    Folk were singing White's praises for his two goals but he's been mostly useless last week and this week.

    The midfield has a lot of energy but not much ability.  A trio of guys that can run about all day but aren't match winners.

    I like Hjelde but he's obviously played out of position. Get him back next season at centre-half and sign a genuine left-back that didn't live through rationing.

    I think the "yes but the data" really misses the point. And mentioning "economics of risk" comes across as sneering pseudo-intellectualism (get your utility functions out and understand the facts, ladies).

    There's a bit in The Guardian that 97% of young women have been sexually harassed. I've seen a lot of posts over the last 24 hours from women I know about their experiences. The data for being kidnapped and murdered in the street might be low but given the prevalence of sexual harassment, it's somewhat understandable (when you put everything into context and not a vacuum) why a number of women don't feel safe.

    I'm properly enjoying this now!

    Finished The Bloody Baron side quest and I think I got the "good" ending but... it wasn't a particularly happy ending. A really good story though. 

    Levelled up a fair bit and the combat gets a lot easier but still challenging enough for me and my "no blocking, no dodging, just mash" approach. Struggling against any type of wraith though, even the weak ones. c***s.

    Into Novigrad now with the Triss stuff. Trying to sweep up a lot of secondary quests and contracts (below level 20) before heading over to Skellige.

    Still struggling with the scale. It's as intimidating as RDR2. I'm not very good at prioritising quests or ignoring the treasure hunts / exclamation marks.

    The "maybe we should better educate people about personal finances" is mostly patronising bullshit. IMO Yeah, it's a good idea, and financial literacy needs to be improved, but it misses the general point that a not insignificant chunk of the population don't have the resources to give themselves a private pension.

    I cant recall any recent evidence of the top of my head (although I'm sure it exists somewhere) but before the financial crisis, around about 1/3 of UK households don't have any spare cash. It'll be worse now (in before the "covid savings glut" - the evidence shows that the bottom 40% of households still aren't saving over the past year).
