jBrereton posted:"Despite an economic meltdown rightwing populists failed to gain a foothold in [Spain]. Why?" Here's the article behind the paywall, it's quite an interesting read. Though they quote an analyst claiming the lack of benefits helped prevent the rise of the populist right, albeit without saying it's a good thing. Not sure how he squares it with the case of the US which certainly doesn't have much in the way of welfare. Anyway from the concluding comment it doesn't sound like FT puts much faith in his explanation: quote:Villacañas still bears the scars of Spain’s economic crisis. Driving into the small Castilian town, the first thing you see is a row of vast, silent factories. Some are plastered with faded “for sale” signs. Others face a slow, losing battle against the weeds encroaching from all sides. Private Speech fucked around with this message at 17:19 on Feb 1, 2017 |

Beyond that people have mentioned that it's a thing, it specifically isn't a new thing - the pervasiveness of f.e far-right BBC commenters has been a noticeable and talked-about thing for...god, probably as long as there have been BBC comments sections. But at least a long time! (including here, a lot over the years).

Though they try to claim that the lack of benefits helped prevent the rise of the populist right, albeit without saying it's a good thing. Not sure how they square it with the case of the US which certainly doesn't have much in the way of welfare, but hey: I mean you can say that there was no populist backlash but there was no government for nearly a whole year because no party had enough votes to form one, and all bets are off regarding coalitions, due to a massive scandal in PP's history, PSOE and Unidos Podemos being enemies, and the Spanish Liberals being a complete waste of time, which is also really a reaction against globalism (PSOE only recently ousted its own equivalent of Corbyn and abstained on Rajoy's investiture which allowed the formation of the government). And as to the idea that Catalonia and the Basque region are vital to electoral success and a key check on nationalism - the two main parties, PSOE and PP, are both very much parties of national unity. Same as Labour and the Tories here. Unidos Podemos is the only national bloc that says their referenda should matter (they're always having referenda on independence). Even the Spanish Lib Dems aren't up for it! They're so postnational they're post-regional!

I do not recommend jamming stuff up your knob. Be careful with what you do with your willy lest the NHS have to shove a camera up it to figure out why you keep pissing blood. Should be in sex ed, imo.

CatheterChat: They do come in different sizes, mostly the same size is used but occasionally it won't drain quickly enough or it'll get blocked so the size is changed. They can't go too small or the tube gets too clogged up with sediment in the urine.

The bad part isn't when it gets shoved up your knob, it's the bit where they pull it back out that really hurts.

Zephro posted:Why are catheters so thick, then? Wouldn't a thinner version be less uncomfortable? Someone already said, but they come in a variety of sizes. As a general rule the size is inversely proportional to how annoying a patient you are. Just kidding. It's generally the first acceptable size I can find in the drawer.
