Where on the “knowing people” is understanding people can be too similar. Like Two Queen Bees arguing in a group is a classic but imo it happens to varying degrees in other personality types/facets like, "“Hey you guys both like guitar you’ll get along…” Awkward silence after 20 mins because some people put everything into their hobbies.

Want a feel if that is above or below water on the iceberg

more of a pedant

There are genuine integration issues in the UK so the anti-migrant bloc do have some valid concerns. However, there will be a non-insignificant amount of racists among them.

Weirdly, the “skipping the queue” rhetoric even works with fellow migrants. I have a friend from Iran who I used to work with that moved to the UK ~3 years ago; he’s way angrier about irregular channel crossings than the average Scottish person I know. I’d imagine spending a lot of money and years on a waiting list before being given a work visa was a grating experience though.

Their mode of entry into the UK was illegal but any asylum claims they make will be assessed as being potentially valid. I think you were saying the same thing but not sure.

The reason people are particularly pissed off is that Farage and co. have framed the debate as an issue of fairness. Essentially the charge levelled at the irregular migrants is queue jumping, which we don’t look upon fondly in our culture.

My dad had to remove me from the cinema when we saw Toy Story on release because I found Sid’s vivsected toys too frightening

Behaving in an emotionally disregulated manner, similar to how a child who has not developed as a person would do

These people should be hung, drawn and quartered

I have many social media type things and IRC hooked up to emacs which is also my IDE

Practical effects in Carpenter’s remake of The Thing are hard to beat

Popular people didn’t see themselves as popular, they just had a lot of friends from their perspective. Social structures are only really visible from the bottom-up.

There’s a director’s cut like version of Alien 3 that fixes many of the issues (and unfortunately creates a few new ones)

It’s definitely underrated due to a Seinfeld Effect like phenomenon where everyone feels like they’ve seen it - even when they haven’t.

I prefer El Topo to Holy Mountain as it has more of a uh script. Looks like they had a lot of fun filming the latter though!

Both of them are worth taking the time to watch though. Nothing else quite like them.

Shaun of the Dead is so good! I can’t believe I missed it from my list. Pretty much anything by Edgar Wright is amazing, I even enjoyed Midnight In Soho, which was his weird Giallo horror tribute.

If you get a tattoo gun he can write a permanent apology on his skin

I think the circumstances around his death were ironic - humourous even - but I don’t take any joy in politically motivated violence. When you respond to rhetoric you disagree with by being violent then you’ve lost the argument.

It was like the stars aligned when Nickelback guy married Avril Lavigne. Canada’s finest together at last!

Technically a lot of the classic curries are british food
