Is that a Clapton lyric? ;-)

Being entrenched into any one way of thinking with no room for ambiguity, complexity and changes is just going to make our brains old. Plus I feel like people are looking for answers in the wrong places (namely nostalgia for different non-existent versions of the past). Things have changed and we need some new answers…

"I'm sick of right-wing talking point using Clint Eastwood to say "This
Oscar-winning actor and director says something that is conservative
therefore it is the liberals who are wrong"."

"Everyone is constantly trying to fit everyone else into their narrative,
so they can feel like they know everything there is to know and be
content in their knowing smugness."

Conversely some people on here do occasionally express thoughts that aren't that complex and people argue with them, as tends to happen ;-)

I agree with this. Also I don't think some people who have clear and strong stances on things and view the world through that lens always appreciate that other people have quite shifting and contradictory views that can be influenced by what is happening to the person in their own life, local area and country at any…

It definitely doesn't always work but if you keep asking and still don't get any sort of progression opportunities, that's when you need to find your next job.

Where's the rest of it, Disqus? And show me my notifications in that sidebar thingy damnit!

Good luck whichever option you go with and well done on being in demand :-) Do you have any pro-tips about how to be in demand? ;-)

I know a lot of it was probably in his facial intonation but is there a chance that was somebody who was talking faster than they were thinking? Although I suppose in that instance as the person who said something ill-considered, you ought to have the decency to backpeddle.

A Scanner Darkly. I'm not enjoying it but it's interesting. I often find this kind of thing very claustrophobic.

Still Person of Interest.

Our Bank Holiday was last week so on Sunday I will be enjoying that feeling of slowly encroaching dread that comes over me whenever I go back to work after time off.
