Blue Saturday

Kinda looks like Corbz has pissed himself there, poor auld fella.

all I want is legal soma, is that so much to ask?

Sorry, wrong thread (wouldn’t joke about this behind your back to your face, so to speak):


The new government will have your back on that

In which case I welcome our alpha overlords

Lately I'm forgotten here
Isolated, feeling queer
When you were looking in the mirror
Did you see the future's lies
They march right on in time
And straight into the pool
Oh so quick and cool

I want to die. I don't want to die.

Don’t die, you’ll miss awful people dying.

The wanting to die gets its bluff called when my DTs convince me my heart or brain are stopping. But my life is a wreck and I'd be one of the awful people so on the whole Canada is a land of contrasts.

Thanatos & Eros 4 eva and eva

You really think you compare to Kissinger or Blair or Murdoch? Come on, you know you’re not awful.

Every day is like traipsing around some endless shitty golf course in the rain, hole after fucking hole, doesn't matter if you play well or badly there's always another dismal grey fairway stretching out in front of you. Whole game is run by people you hate, the clubhouse is a nightmare but you never manage to reach it anyway. Is that your new BMW in the car park? asked no-one of you ever. you have no idea why you're here but you're either too stubborn or vain to quit, even though you're completely uninterested in the sport and you're fucking rubbish at it anyway. Lie down in a bunker, press your face into that cold wet sand, feels so real, so inarguable, and yet it may as well be on another planet to that other nauseating reality of the thoughts and feelings burgeoning inside you like some hot and troublesome bowelful of shit. I regret typing this stupid nonsense already, cos all I really wanted to say really is that I hear you. Solidarity nv!

If only Camus was a golfer 😊

I guess really awful people murder others, I just disappoint them. Counselling tomorrow thank fuck. Nearly forgot cos I'm not sure what day it is.

Just had a vivid flashback to being a teenager and the claustrophobia crossed with vertigo nearly finished me off.

I hear you too NV, existence is terrible but we have to carry on together, if only to spite those who hate us

everyone otm <3

welp it's that day

that’s right babey it’s the 36th anniversary of the day pierre trudeau announced his retirement as liberal party leader and prime minister of canada

pouring one several out

it's not me, it's me

hi nv

you followin our non govt forming over here at all, lad

i tuned out for a bit after the 1st-3rd count tbh.

i had some thoughts/questions about FF/FG but i'm battered and they'll wait. just deleted some ill-formed questions about Sinn Fein in the republic as well and yeah that'll do for now. NI as the East Germany (1989-ish) of the UK etc

Started watching The Odessa File for the umpteenth time but it's legit too anxiety-inducing to deal with today. I'm going to the pub even tho that's very financially irresponsible because beer and football and quiz night laffs with friends and fuck it

ach on second thoughts i'll just have a cig and chill, got to cut your cloth accordingly innit

Turns out a 12 hour bender after a fortnight of enforced abstinence has unfortunate physical consequences. Who knew?

I didn't know where else to put this

THE GREAT CHINESE STAGE

1. Create a virus and the antidote.

2. Spread the virus.

3. A demonstration of efficiency, building hospitals in a few days. After all, you were already prepared, with the projects, ordering the equipment, hiring the labor, the water and sewage network, the prefabricated building materials and stocked in an impressive volume.

4. Cause chaos in the world, starting with Europe.

5. Quickly plaster the economy of dozens of countries.

6. Stop production lines in factories in other countries.

7. Cause stock markets to fall and buy companies at a bargain price.

8. Quickly control the epidemic in your country. After all, you were already prepared.

9. Lower the price of commodities, including the price of oil you buy on a large scale.

10. Get back to producing quickly while the world is at a standstill. Buy what you negotiated cheaply in the crisis and sell more expensive what is lacking in countries that have paralyzed their industries.

After all, you read more Confucius than Karl Marx.

Worth pondering..
Just Think about this...

How come Russia & North Korea are totally free of Covid- 19? Because they are staunch ally of China. Not a single case reported from this 2 countries. On the other hand South Korea / United Kingdom / Italy / Spain and Asia are severely hit. How come Wuhan is suddenly free from the deadly virus?

China will say that their drastic initial measures they took was very stern and Wuhan was locked down to contain the spread to other areas. I am sure they are using the Anti dode of the virus.

Why Beijing was not hit? Why only Wuhan? Kind of interesting to ponder upon.. right? Well ..Wuhan is open for business now. America and all the above mentioned countries are devastated financially. Soon American economy will collapse as planned by China. China knows it CANNOT defeat America militarily as USA is at present

THE MOST POWERFUL country in the world. So use the virus...to cripple the economy and paralyse the nation and its Defense capabilities. I'm sure Nancy Pelosi got a part in this. . to topple Trump. Lately President Trump was always telling of how GREAT American economy was improving in all fronts. The only way to destroy his vision of making AMERICA GREAT AGAIN is to create an economic havoc. Nancy Pelosi was unable to bring down Trump thru impeachment. ....so work along with China to destroy Trump by releasing a virus. Wuhan,s epidemic was a showcase. At the peak of the virus epidemic. ..

China's President Xi Jinping...just wore a simple RM1 facemask to visit those effected areas. As President he should be covered from head to toe.....but it was not the case. He was already injected to resist any harm from the virus....that means a cure was already in place before the virus was released.

Some may ask....Bill Gates already predicted the outbreak in 2015...so the chinese agenda cannot be true. The answer is. ..YES...Bill Gates did predict. .but that prediction is based on a genuine virus outbreak. Now China is also telling that the virus was predicted well in advance. ....so that its agenda would play along well to match that prediction. China,s vision is to control the World economy by buying up stocks now from countries facing the brink of severe ECONOMIC COLLAPSE. Later China will announce that their Medical Researchers have found a cure to destroy the virus. Now China have other countries stocks in their arsenal and these countries will soon be slave to their master...CHINA.

Just Think about it ...
The Doctor Who declared this virus was also Silenced by the Chinese Authorities...

Thoughts??

was with em til pelosi, everyone knows she hates asians

Just Think about it

No.

truly we live in a new enlightenment

THE SUN RISES IN THE EAST

THAT'S WHERE THE LIGHT COMES FROM

JUST THINK ABOUT IT

I'd worry more but it's too long for Trump to ever read

I shd've started a thread for all of these social media conspiracies - got sent a good one about a Chinese drama series from 2010 today as well - but there's more than enough rona threads already and it's late and I'm sleepy

Everybody gets ill and dies in A Dream of Red Mansions too so maybe these lads are onto something

*PS: Before laughing, read the book by Chinese colonels Qiao Liang and Wang Xiangsui, from 1999, “Unrestricted Warfare: China’s master plan to destroy America”, on Amazon, then we talk. It's all there.

"then we talk"!!!!

The Doctor Who

they cornered the market on sonic screwdrivers too

lol a quick Google for that book reveals it used to be about how China did 9/11

I got sent that conspiracy shit in my family WhatsApp yesterday ffs, I did not expect to see it there.

then we talk

please let's not.

The Doctor Who declared this virus was also Silenced by the Chinese Authorities...

I remember the Doctor Who with the Silence but I didn't realise they were Chinese

this is making me glad I'm not on Facebook, which I've had mixed feelings about in general and particularly over the past week or two

I haven’t accepted my mother’s friend request on FB, the bad conservative memes I get on Messenger are punishment enough.

When my mother had an FB account she was upset cos I wouldn’t accept her, but I was entirely justified by 30 years of experience. One time I changed my cover photo and she messaged me within like an hour to ask what it was.

my mum told me on the WhatsApp to tone down my language on fb otherwise I might lose my job for calling the pm a cunt

Lol this is exactly why I didn’t have mine on there (not for my political opinions, which I don’t do on FB, but because I do say “cunt” pretty casually and it’d upset her).

Hahahahaha

Tbf, the messages annoying me the most on FB are still coming From Labour supporters giving it "now is not the time for politics, let's come together as a nation"

It's tried my patience this week, but in general I kinda like the "all human life is here" silliness of social media

same - although I do tend to keep work people off there. I have a couple but I think they're cool, we'll find out when I get the sack I guess

Luckily my mother is one of the 0.01% of American women unbothered by the word ‘cunt’ - we tend to ‘cunt!’ tag-team at my sister because the way she loses her shit at our language is hilarious.

I basically only use mine to access two meme groups, I’m on ilx a lot more than FB/Twitter.

interesting (very) long read on recent chinese social conditions (inc.its post-socialist health structures) as these interact with internal and also global markets, and role of all this in recent and not-so-recent pandemics:
http://chuangcn.org/2020/02/social-contagion/

(this is a weird thread to out it on but at a minimum it's a good counterpoint to the conspiracy theories upthread, also weirdly: if you know a better thread for it, by all means post it there also)

there's at least one specific China thread but Blue Saturday is a broad church

穹顶之下: Rolling 中华人民共和国 / People's Republic of China (PRC) Thread

i shared it there too

ok, i got a bottle of rum, enough baccy, a massive random playlist of tunes, it's FRIDAY

Noice
