Such would be the desperation that custodial sentences would get dished out for stamping on not just bees., but even those evil ba5tard pollinators the wasps. Asian hornets.

I spent most of the video waiting for them to mention how the bees form a ball around the arseholes and boil them alive. Clearly the Americans need to send out for some Japanese bee teachers to show their own bees how to handle hornets. Also, yes, as a total psychopath I'm clearly going to run out and watch some of those videos where complete wrong 'uns lock insects in a container and film them tearing each other apart. Thanks for the recommendation, Vice! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'd just be a series of Private Society video screencaps at this point, surely. They certainly were a thing in 1974 when I served an apprenticeship in a factory in Scotstoun. And recycling was in full swing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need another major conflict/plague to bring it back to manageable levels. There’s a school of thought that the plague (Black Death edition) caused the renaissance. Something to do with a scarcity of labour driving up prices and expectations for the labouring classes, increased social mobility, actual mobility and investment in skills. Nature will get us eventually, but will have to do better than Covid. Fortunately we’ll help out with the old climate change and crowding poor people into mega cities. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get the sentiment but then what's the point in anyone rich doing anything nice ever? There's so many things to be annoyed at taylor swift for.

Miguel Sanchez Posted June 13 Share Posted June 13 To be clear, Miss Swift isn't (entirely) the point I was making. How many other developed countries is her tour going to where she's making charity donations because people can't afford to feed themselves? How many other developed countries is her tour going to where she's making charity donations because people can't afford to feed themselves while tens of thousands of people attend multiple gigs at several hundred pounds a ticket plus travel, plus accommodation, plus merchandise? What does it say about the developed country where that's even conceivable, never mind where it actually happens? 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFTD Posted June 13 Share Posted June 13 This is the world we're now in; billionaires being allowed to reduce their contribution to the rest of society, then making token gestures towards the organisations that have tried to fill the gaps they've left in exchange for uncritical praise. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And, there are numerous food banks in the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany and France as well. I have no idea what, if any, donations she has made there or even if she is playing there. So, we're in pretty good company to the shame of each and every one of those 'developed' countries. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've moved toward their model of "f**k the poor, I got mine" and it won't be long before a generation won't have known life to be any different, which is how the battle's won with these societal changes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
