If someone had shot Reagan and then gone on to be a jerk I'd dislike him for being a jerk.

Employees who breach the three-day policy will be asked to explain why.

Because I can get other jobs in this field where I don't have to waste hours of my life on the tube just to give managers a sense of purpose.

For anyone who is confused, this user is talking about a sandwich. That is what is called a sandwich.

Hope that cleared it up!

Updated advice. It's a long shot, but it's worth trying to force the Tories into third place. Share with your local friends.

I'm a bit late to the party here because I haven't needed Postman for a while, but how is it okay that now we have to LOG IN TO POSTMAN and send our API requests to them for them to store on their own cloud?

Discussion: Where are all the dystopias? (lemmy.world)
 

Thanks to the glorious shovelling of Classic Who onto BBC IPlayer, I have been enjoying a glut of mid-80s classic Who.

It struck me how many of the CBaker-McCoy era stories are dystopian tales, reflecting the pro-establishment neo-captialist society that the writers felt was being inflicted on them.

Varos, Paradise Towers and Terra Alpha (of Happiness Patrol) are obvious examples; Necros (Revelation of the Daleks) and is a particularly nasty one. Even Trial of a Timelord was, at its heart, a tale of authoritarianism and narrative control.

Modern Britain is clearly in another phase like the 80s. If anything, the authoritarianism is more extreme, and the government's avarice more naked.

So where are the writers' reactions to that nowadays? Whenever the show has recently attempted to address societal issues, it has been either a direct sermon like Orphan 55 or an incompetent muddle like Kerblam.

Where are the dystopias?
