"We're in the zombie killin' business. And cousin, business is a-boomin'." Funnily enough I was talking with my housemate earlier on about the scene at the end where he stands all his remaining pistol cartridges on the table in the carnival and smashes his pistol butt into them to reload. Surprisingly good movie. I might watch it later... SJ ^Debaser 14:03, 22 January 2011 (UTC)

Yeah, that scene had me laughing. I watched it again last night. Definitely near the top of the list of "Concernedresident's movies to watch after a few beers". You remember the banjo scene? Classic. Concernedresident ^{omg!!! ponies!!!} 14:11, 22 January 2011 (UTC)

I found the UK version of White Riot yesterday which is about 100 times better than the American release. SJ ^Debaser 16:53, 26 January 2011 (UTC)

100'000?

Hey, I just noticed you saying "though the £100'000 fee" on T:WIGO, and I feel the need to ask if the apostrophe is some sort of alternate convention for denoting thousands that I'm unaware of. I mostly ask because I recently reverted somebody's edit on WP that replaced a regular comma with an apostrophe in a number since I felt that this was incorrect. Now that I see it popping up again, I'm getting some doubts. Is this maybe a regional thing? Or am I just lacking common knowledge? (Knowing myself, this is sadly quite possible... =P) --Sid (talk) 22:00, 29 January 2011 (UTC)

As far as I'm aware in the UK either 100000, 100,000, 100'000 are acceptable. I've always used an apostrophe. Having said that, I loathe mathematics and the last time I sat a maths exam I was 15. SJ ^Debaser 01:43, 30 January 2011 (UTC)

I think it's adorable when Brits call math "maths." P-Foster (talk) 01:56, 30 January 2011 (UTC)

My phone's about six years old. I can't stand smart phones. I told my friend this who has a smart phone and he kept asking why and I told him it was because smart phones turn people who own them into people who ask other people who don't have smart phones why they don't have a smart phone and then tell us we should get smart phones. At any rate, I've got coursework now so wouldn't be using it that much. SJ ^Debaser 12:28, 1 February 2011 (UTC)

Tongues

It's impossible to literally swallow your tongue, but it's often used as a badly worded description of it rolling back and blocking your airway. It's reasonably common in unconscious people who lose muscle tone, which is why first aid concentrates on opening the airway as a first priority (See the Wikipedia article on airway management.). Although I can't find a decent cite for it regarding waterboarding, whoever claimed it was probably thinking that. Pouring water onto your head like that could force it down, but unless you were knocked unconscious by it you'd have enough muscle strength to put it back in the right position pretty quick. ^{d hominem} 13:57, 5 February 2011 (UTC)

Righto. I know nothing about first aid, I just saw that on QI, and Stephen Fry knows all. At any rate, if a source can't be found to support a symptom we list it then it shouldn't be there. SJ ^Debaser 14:03, 5 February 2011 (UTC)

QI gets it wrong occasionally. Although it is a misconception, people do imagine it being literally flipped back and down the throat, rather than just relaxing backwards. If you try and force the back of your tongue into your throat you can just about block your own airway. ^{d hominem} 14:25, 5 February 2011 (UTC)

God, I hate people who take QI as the sole arbiter of truth. There was a guy I knew who thought himself a genius for uncritically lapping up everything Fry says, and it was unspeakably obnoxious. MARCVS ANTONIVS 14:30, 5 February 2011 (UTC)

As a note, I once knew a girl, who due to a genetic deformity, would literally swallow her tongue. There was something about it not being properly connected to the bottom of her throat, so if she wasn't paying attention, it would flop back in her mouth, and she'd swallow it. It was weird as shit, to just be talking to her, and suddenly she starts gasping for breath, and someone has to come pull her tongue out of her throat. (She was one of my friends older sisters, so whenever I saw her, family was around, I always asked what she did if she was like.. not at home. Never got an answer) But yeah. So even at best "It's not possible for a NORMAL human to swallow their own tongue" and then all of the "it's not literal" things. Quaru^{cookie cutter - You can't explain that!} 14:37, 5 February 2011 (UTC)

Now there's an argument against intelligent design... ^{d hominem} 15:48, 5 February 2011 (UTC)

I don't take QI as the sole arbiter of truth. That's literally the only thing I remember ever seeing on it. My housemates watch it and it looks boring. Although Stephen Fry remains awesome. SJ ^Debaser 17:32, 5 February 2011 (UTC)

It's quite good, actually and I'd recommend it just for learning random shite. IIRC the early series were a bit more serious but now they're pushing the comedy factor a little more. It's as factual as you can expect it to be, and they usually correct any errors on DVD releases (wp:3753 Cruithne for instance). But if you're not also checking what it says you just fail as a skeptic. ^{d hominem} 17:37, 5 February 2011 (UTC)

Malawi attempts to ban farting Totnesmartin (talk) 09:30, 17 February 2011 (UTC)

Farting is not only natural, but hilarious. "This will not work. We will keep on farting." he said. Fight the power my Malawian brothers and sisters! SJ ^Debaser 15:12, 17 February 2011 (UTC)

Hmm, perhaps Josh, as an active campaigner for farting, should avoid Malawi for a while. Even if you want to adopt a baby to appear more fashionable. Crundy^{Talk nerdy to me} 15:42, 17 February 2011 (UTC)

Speaking of which, since Nutty doesn't want it in return for sending me some drugs, how do you fancy trying out a disposable eCigarette?

Crundy^{Talk nerdy to me} 16:02, 16 March 2011 (UTC)

That's very kind of you, but I'm OK for it thanks. I'm completely avoiding anything that reminds me of smoking at the moment, especially with approaching coursework deadlines in the coming month. I have a strong feeling they'd tempt me back onto ciggies. How're the drugs working out which Crundy sent you? SJ ^Debaser 16:32, 16 March 2011 (UTC)

You mean that nutty sent me (sounds like you've been on some drugs)? Haven't used it yet, because (1) my hospital tank hasn't cycled and is chock full of ammonia, so I doubt I can use it anyway, (2) it's probably too small to handle the bioload from my yellow tang, and (3) I can't catch the little fuckers. Seriously they're really fucking fast! I'm gonna leave them and hope the whitespot doesn't reinfect my remaining two fish when it eventually does hatch. Heh, also I bought a couple of cleaner shrimp to replace the two OAP ones that died, and the tang won't leave them alone. She wants to be cleaned 24/7 and the shrimp have got fed up with it and are hiding in a cave. Crundy^{Talk nerdy to me} 16:36, 16 March 2011 (UTC)

Haha. Sea creatures. I got a goldfish when I was about 12 because I was sad my hamster died and it ended up living for nearly 8 years. I was happy when it died, I was sick of cleaning the grime-encrusted bowl every week.

Don't labour under the delusion I like you. Your adamance in remaining at this website for the sole purpose of trying to cause as much trouble as possible is a testament to how you must have nothing better to do with your time. Your personal attacks are also frequently unprompted and foul - in defending this thread from reversion you called PsyGremlin a racist because he's a white South African, and in a civilised conversation on your talkpage you said you had sex with my mother, which I still think is probably a lie. As for grandiose claims of radical leadership on a relatively minor snark-science wiki... well, if you think that's impressive, then good for you.

Why? 86.40.84.124 (talk) 13:17, 12 November 2011 (UTC)

I come on RationalWiki to shoot the shit, though originally because I hated CP. CP being all but dead now means that I exist here to shoot the shit and occasionally make one or two pointless edits to articles no one cares here cares about, though it amuses me. I've pretty much steered clear of community standards arguments the whole time I've been here because they are incredibly fucking boring. The last thing I want to do here is campaign for something which I don't really care about. In short, I don't give a fuck about site politics.

As an aside, you've never emailed me asking me to join you, Darth Vader. Also I think you mean ancestors, not descendants.

Also also, what's your view on the Poppy? Irish aren't you? I proudly wear it and don't see any connection to sectarianism. Indeed, half my family is Irish Catholic. SJ ^Debaser 13:46, 12 November 2011 (UTC)

A) I loathe site politics too. Which is why I believe the present strucutre; the creation of a site hierarchy who hold absolute powers over your inherent right to free expression - is a fundamental evil. Apathy paves the road for tyranny. Though it goes against both of our instincts, sometimes good men have to take a stand against oppression.

B) The poppy thing is a tricky one. The main reason why its so controversial in Ireland is because during the Troubles the Ulster Presbyterian community (Who lost many thousands at the battle of the Somme and a whole regiment of Ulstermen were wiped out in Thiepval Wood) used it to castigate and generally irritate the Catholic minority. It was part of the jingoistic culture (Along with the annual 12th July parades which deliberately marched through Catholic areas in order to provoke) and naturally, irish Catholics thought of it as yet another symbol of their oppression. It has deeper roots in the south as well; following the War of Independenance it was the standard Republican dogma that those Irishmen who died in WWI (c. 30,000 souls) did so at the behest of 'British Imperialism' and died, by definition, fighting for their natural enemies. So the two thousand or so Republicans who died in the 5 years between 1916-1921 were automatically elevated to the realm of national salvation and the 30,000 Irish Nationalists who died in the years 1914-1918 were written off as national traitors. Recent historiography has thankfully reversed this standard Republican dogma and in recent years Irish people have begun to celebrate their ancestors who died in a hopeless and terrible war which very few fought for ideological reasons. The poppy isn't widely worn because of its toxic association with Northern Presbyterian bigotry, but overall the majority of Irish people regard the loss of Irish life in WWI with an intense and genuine sadness. 86.45.238.109 (talk) 14:12, 12 November 2011 (UTC)

I would've thought something along those lines too, the loss of life in the Great War was at the hands of the government and not so ideological, at least not as much as the Second World War where most people were genuinely disgusted with Nazism (the obvious exceptions being Mosley and Henry Ford). I don't even remember being taught in school the causes of WWI at an adult level. They kind of glossed over it, mentioned Franz Ferdinand and that was pretty much it. On the other hand the rise of Hitler is so well known because the Holocaust is understandably one of the worst crimes against humanity ever committed. In both wars British men were basically given a choice of join the Army or get imprisoned for draft-dodging, which is no choice at all. Such a shame that the poppy's seen by some as a symbol of British Imperialism instead of a commemorative symbol. SJ ^Debaser 16:11, 12 November 2011 (UTC)

I'm not too keen on poppy fascism anyway to be honest. Public historical commemmorations are mostly tacky and annoying. That famous song (And the Band Played Waltzing Mathilda) tells the story of an Australian soldier in Gallipolli who is gazing in dismay at all the veterans marching to commemmorate that horrible event. Commemmoration more often than not becomes a vehicle for propaganda. I suppose the point is that the First World War was an eminently preventable conflict and to commemmorate the huge body count every year does an insult to all those young men who died so pointlessly. Thats the point that song makes, at any rate. 86.47.74.195 (talk) 16:23, 12 November 2011 (UTC)

Hey

As (presumably) a university student in the U.K., would you say you enjoy the university system? Academically? Socially? Feel free to answer or not. Blue (is useful) 01:22, 12 December 2011 (UTC)

Whether or not you can say you "enjoyed" university really depends on so many factors. British students have a rep for being lazy, unemployed, poor drunken slobs. From personal observation, I've noticed that most wasters (which included myself in my first and second years) tend to be people usually born and bred in Britain, while foreign students tend to actually stay in and work more, though as they pay nearly £9'000 a year, I can't blame them for not wanting to waste time on getting their stomachs pumped. I think university is easily one of the best social opportunities one can get and it shouldn't be wasted. I had a great time in my first year, though I was lucky because I'd saved up quite a lot of money from working, so I could have a good time. My second year was good, though not as enjoyable as the first. My final year (this one, graduating in May assuming I don't fail) has been pretty shit socially as most of my friends are either skint, have boyfriends/girlfriends they spend all their time with, or just don't want to go out anymore. I actually find that I can't wait to go home for Xmas next weekend as I'll have more fun at home than I will at uni.

Academics really depends on which university and which course you pick. Me and most of my class have been disappointed with our course; several modules over the last couple years have been totally irrelevant to what we came here to study. Having said that there have also been enjoyable and interesting modules and (generally speaking) I enjoy most of my coursework. However, some of our tutors are completely fucking dire at handing our coursework back; our head tutor actually lost my friend's test paper from last semester and he now has to resit it if he wants to get a grade in it in the new year. As he is an overseas £9'000pa student, he's understandably very unhappy about this. However, this is down to personal clumsiness rather than the way the university is ran.

As far as funding goes, I don't agree with the massive cuts being supplemented by hiking fees to £6'000pa> for the 2012 academic year onwards. I started uni in 2009 when fees were £3'500pa, and then the Tories got elected in May 2010 and introducing plans to jack up fees by 100% with no opposition from their Libdem coalition partners who went back on their election promise to not just block raising fees, but abolish them altogether, simply so they could hold on to the little bit of power they held in governemnt. Now having witnessed Tory economics for the first time in my life (I wasn't around in Thatcher's days and I was too young to know about anything John Major was doing) I have now pledged to never vote for them for the rest of my life. That may sound pathetic and petty, but the cuts have affected my generation specifically (not mentioning all the others to the public sector and education at large). If I ever have kids they will not be going to university with fees as high as they are unless I'm earning £100k+ each year, which I won't be.

Also, Scottish students studying at Scottish universities get their fees paid for by their Parliament. When they study at English or Welsh universities, they get most their fees paid for through grants etc. English students on the other hand have no cover as they are simply hit by the fees set out by their universities which have been given a free rein by the British parliament, but as this is more to do with my views on a devolved English parliament, I shall stop here.

Summary: Social - good. Academic - dependent. Funding and politics - bad. SJ ^Debaser 11:41, 12 December 2011 (UTC)

From having gone through it, that sounds about right. If your social life is taking a dive in the third year might be because you're all, shock-of-horrors, growing up. Thankfully I hung around with people who had always had the idea that a good time was getting sloshed at home with wine and food rather than in an over-priced club until 4 in the morning, so the transition to maturity wasn't that much a smack in the face. Get used to being skint, even with a degree in your pocket you can't expect to waltz into a job that pays decently. In fact most graduates I know have ended up in lower level admin jobs rather than awesomesonic management positions. Which sort of defies the point of a university education, really. ^bomination 11:52, 12 December 2011 (UTC)

I've thought that too (the growing up thing) and it depresses the hell out of me. Especially when your ladyfriend in first year is going out three/four nights a week clubbing and you go out twice a month to the pub if you're lucky (though I still drink at home about 3 nights week). The job market's just a slap in the face. A friend of mine last year went to uni for three months, did literally no work and dropped out just after Christmas last year. He came home, signed on, and after about a month he got a job as a bank teller which he's had for several months now. You can bet your arse he's earning a better paycheque than I'll be in my first job as a graduate. SJ ^Debaser 13:22, 12 December 2011 (UTC)

Whoops, sorry for missing this, and thanks for the extensive reply. I'm not sure where you are geographically but what I'm strongly considering is probably in London, so on the financial side it seems like that would be even harder cost-of-livingwise. That being said it's interesting to hear that you found your course disappointing - did you ever want to change? That you took some irrelevant modules is not likely to be a problem, because in Murka as you probably know the norm is to have to take classes outside your major/minor. Blue (pester) 04:35, 15 December 2011 (UTC)

I'm from London though I don't go to any London-based universities. I'd rather not publicly mention my location, though I'm happy for you to email me if you want to know more. I have several friends that live in and around the main university campuses in central London (Westminster, Universities of East and Central etc.) and it is very expensive - house prices, whether renting or buying, student or employed, get a lot cheaper the further away from London you are. My on-campus accommodation in first year was around £80pw while for my student friends in London the cheapest was about £110pw. If money's an issue I'd recommend looking for a pad in wp:Outer London where it's slightly cheaper.

I've never seriously entertained the idea of dropping out/changing module, because I enjoy the topic of my course far too much to dump it because a couple of modules didn't live up to expectation. There was a time in our first year when a friend on my course was considering changing, but he eventually decided to stick with it. A LOT of people dropped out over first year, but this happens with a lot of courses anyway. I'm not sure how the British system differs from the American one, but at university-level (18+, 17+ for Scottish students) you study one main "degree" topic which is broken down into several modules across the 3 (sometimes 4) years you're studying for. It's different from the high school education studying several broad topics (English, science, maths, etc.) all at once. SJ ^Debaser 11:24, 15 December 2011 (UTC)
