Necrothatcher posted:Do you have a tenancy agreement for your specific room or does it cover the entire house? If the former, then your room should have a lock. If the latter - a shared tenancy agreement - then no, the landlord doesn't have to provide internal locks. The tenancy is for Room 1 at this address. There are other tenants who I have not yet met. The landlord is not a live in landlord, I have checked the council's register and this address is not listed as a HMO.

Podcast content was good, and I'm looking forward to the next one. Could use some extra editing, like getting everyone to sync the start of recording with a set tone, which makes it easier to line up (one person seemed to be delayed a bit judging by the delay between their jokes and the laughter), and the volume was spiking hard one one person's audio, so could have done with some high end clipping. But the content itself was good and enjoyable and I was genuinely laughing along with it. A++ cast would pod again.

You shouldn't guess the law says the landlord who almost certainly thinks the law is whatever his scumbag landlord forum buddies tell him he can get away with

Endjinneer posted:It's the socially acceptable middle class gateway protest movement that you can tell your colleagues about, but they've warmed a lot more people to the idea of direct action than any masked figure smashing up NatWest. If XR dissipates they'll still have moved a lot of people in the right direction, and those people will have learned that activism can go well beyond a letter to the Guardian and £5 to Greenpeace. I was perhaps a little harsh in that post. It has been great for mobilising people and I find that the people on the ground are quite a bit more sensible than the leadership. Their organisational abilities are to be admired, but yes the next step is definitely to pull people from XR into more radical groups. Like GAF!

I don't like to post about personal stuff (or posting that much in general) but I'm kind of involved in a hosed up situation and I can't think of anywher better to get advice. Long story short I recently came out as gay to my sister. My sister has a work friend who is sort of an aunt figure to a kid who recently came out as bisexual to his family, and his father is being an incredible piece of poo poo about it. Like full on homophobic abuse, basically trying to bully him into being 'normal' and blaming his mother for 'feminizing' him with unmanly skincare. So thats just an enormously poo poo situation and the kid is understanably not dealing well. And now my sister wants me to come along to an evening at a local boardgame cafe so I can be a counterpoint to the vile poo poo his father's been spewing. The only problem is I don't feel qualified? I'm so oblivious that I only realized I was gay this year (I'm in my 30s) so I never had to put up with that kind of abuse and even if I had it would never have come from my cool and supportive family. Basically, how do I help this kid? Like I can pick apart the toxic poo poo and point out how dumb and irrational his father is being, but I can't make it stop, I'm afraid that telling him to push back against his dad might make things worse.

Just do that, if his father is a hateful homophobe then do the opposite and just be kind, listen to the kid and don't make any judgements about his dad to his face. I will say please be careful though goon brother, if his shithead dad finds out he's been hanging about with a 30yr old gay dude that might not end well for yourself.

Good on you for meeting him but as you've realised you can't fix it. Neither could you if you were a highly qualified therapist or similar. He needs to work out what he wants to do. Ask a lot of questions about how he is, what he's experienced and what he would like to do next. Just genuinely listening to the answers will help a lot. Disclaimer: As just about the only 'religious' person in this thread I'm no expert on LGBT stuff, although perhaps I should be, this answer just comes from my human experience.

Like people have said, a professional (which can just be someone who does counselling in some capacity, not necessarily a therapist or anything) is probably gonna provide the best concrete guidance But if you think about it, you're both in the same kind of situation - both come out recently, both come to terms with some stuff, it's just this kid is in much worse family circumstances. So you can listen, but you can also both talk about your experiences, how it's going in general, what you're looking forward to in the future And because you're in a better place, with a bit more life experience, you get to provide a bit of a grounded perspective, let the kid see how things should be and that it's not their fault their dad is flipping out. I think that's probably worthwhile?

Taear posted:Most puzzle games of that period were bullshit because it was the only way to get their 5 hour (or one hour) game to last longer. You’re right of course, but Discworld takes this phenomenon to unheard of heights. There is literally a puzzle where, in order to get a guy to take off his robe so you can steal it (of course, it is the only black robe in the world), you must catch a butterfly (which is a bullshit task in itself), travel backwards in time, and then release the butterfly at the lamppost where the guy will later stand. Strange waves will emanate from the insect and then the “butterfly effect” causes a localised rainstorm to soak the guy in the future, forcing him to take off the robe to dry it. I refuse to believe that even a single person solved this puzzle without following a guide or brute forcing the solution by trying every possible possibility in the game.

As long as Johnson is Prime Minister, there won't be a Brexit with a deal.

LOCUST FART HELL posted:I posted this on reddit's legal advice UK subreddit but I'll repost it here to see what advice I can get. You have a rather significant leg to stand on, but you need to be asking yourself if this is the kind of landlord you want to be dealing with. If taking him up on his offer and telling him to get stuffed is not an option, I would fit a cheap lock to the door to tide you over while you look for a place not owned by a slumlord.

Government to scrap plans for 'Henry VIII power' to end free movement Amazingly, this is because it might not be legal, not because there exists no way to distinguish between newly-arriving EU citizens, and ones who haven't filled in the "I want to stay" form yet! Or indeed the ones who have, unless you print out your confirmation page (which the hostile border guard will definitely accept)

So apparently the govt has just warned pensioners that after no deal, pensioners living in the EU will no longer get the triple lock, i.e. their pensions will be frozen (after 3 years) Do it BoJo, anger the olds. Keep doing it. That can only end well

If that were to expand to even 1% of the EU migrant population (and LMAO if you think that they would stop at only 1%) it would still quadruple the current immigration enforcement rate, which I imagine would overwhelm the capacity just a touch. If I weren't one of the people eminently at risk of being locked up I'd almost like to see the chaos it would be. e: phoneposting Private Speech fucked around with this message at 22:10 on Sep 1, 2019 |

Its really heartening to see more and more of the next generation openly talk about this stuff from a younger age. I don't know about seeking professional counciling at this stage but I can definitely look into local support groups and at the very least make sure the kid has Childline's contact info.
