Ready to get knocked up and then knocked about? That's the Chav-life.

You think the millions of people that got embroiled in the various apocalyptic wars throughout history didn't say to themselves something like that in order to just keep going?

What does 'lock in' mean in this situation?

Yours faithfully,

Thing One:

From 2007 – 2011 Jill was Director of the Centre for Policy Studies, the independent centre-right think tank.

(From the bio on her own website)

Translation to plain English: Jill Kirby is another true believer in Free Market Conservatism in the Liz Truss vein who has suckled at the teat of the incestuous nest of pro-fossil fuckery in Tufton Street that is funded in large part by the various Koch foundations.

Thing Two: you have to love a middle class columnist telling the working class how to be patriotic.

Some decade and change ago I used to sell people Drupal installs at £200 a pop. They'd get a pretty secure codebase, the ability to add content through a gui and if necessary have customer accounts.

Pretty much what killed it as a business was everyone expected to be on the first page of Google because business advisers were telling them that sitebuilders should do SEO as standard.

Morning people, in my experience at least, firmly believe that night people are just morning people with insufficient self-discipline.

I've seen the hexbears at work and don't doubt that they'd class some of my views as woefully liberal but in the main I am enjoying being on a site where the left is so unapologetic, doesn't go for all this centrist bollocks and is unafraid to call out bullshit.

Having seen the Overton window constantly shifted to a narrower aspect ratio and then shifted rightwards on reddit was a very disheartening experience and I think seeing active hexbears on all threads will be useful in stopping the uptight right when they inevitably decide that that the fediverse needs shifting towards their own Volkish views.
