lurking this thread made me so paranoid about whether anyone in wales would accept the change i had received in northen ireland, which represented all the cash i had on hand at that point in my travels. the old woman i bought something from remarked that the notes looked interesting before accepting it

When I was in Bristol a few weeks back I got past the Scottish Cash Problem once by having a random tourist overhear the cashier's uncertainty and offering to exchange it for one of his English tenners - he was apparently an avid collector of currency. Just find a guy like that in each store you go to and you'll be fine I got much more confusion from people for my weird tenners than I did for being an early-stages trans woman wearing a skirt, so that's heartening

If I'm on the way back from Scotland and I have a Scottish tenner I buy a packet of crisps or something at a railway station shop.

I’m surprised you could buy a bag of crisps for under a tenner in a station shop

jabby posted:I don't know if it's comforting or not, but medically the vast majority of miscarriages and stillbirths happen because the genetics of the baby were simply not compatible with life. We know it from examining fetuses that unfortunately didn't survive. Fast forward to Roe vs. Wade and the culture wars in America and now a whole bunch of literal sociopaths are determined to make people believe that the minute that a sperm implants then you have a smaller version of a fully grown baby with a heartbeat and a consciousness. And if as a side effect that means that people who miscarry feel terrible then they don't care, because they literally worship human suffering so it's a feature rather than a bug to them. Anyhow I agree with the BPAS that all those parts of the Offences Against the Person Act that pertain to "procuring a miscarriage" should be completely taken out and also the parts about aggravated assault with an instrument should be amended to read [except Mike Pence] and that would hopefully help a lot of people feel better. (e: This was badly expressed. I'm leaving it, but for clarity, I'm having a go at lovely reactionaries who heap additional guilt and shame on people who have lost pregnancies for whatever reasons because they can gently caress off, not delegitimizing any feelings by anyone who has lost a pregnancy.)

jabby posted:Also, what the gently caress has happened to the FT recently? Did we finally activate our sleeper agents or something? Yeah, this is on the heels of that US Business Roundtable (chaired by Jamie Dimon of all people) announcing that capitalism shouldn't just be about shareholder value, but also employees, the environment etc. Capitalism is clearly smelling its own blood in the water and is willing to concede (some) ground to keep itself alive. Also, I think even they are realising that the current system of inequality is bad for business and will lead to bad outcomes. It's an interesting process to watch, but never to trust.

Lord Ludikrous posted:So a few weeks ago I excitedly announced in this thread that I was going to be a dad. Only real suggestion I have is that it might be helpful to find a support group, if those exist. If such a group exists, they're likely some of the only people who know what you're going through, and they can at least listen and offer sympathy rather than all our attempts at empathy. But it's totally up to you if it's something you wanna seek out.

LL, I'm really sorry to hear about what you've been for. It's totally understandable that you'll be grieving for a while. Please don't be afraid of reaching out for support if you need it. Someone mentioned support groups which are a good idea and you'd be welcome in any grief group. Nah, this is bullshit and I think quite unempathetic considering the circumstance. When you or a partner are expecting you may not be a parent yet but you're already building up a relationship with your child in your head. You're thinking about the future and imagining what kind of life they might have and then all of that is ripped away from you. You lose all those hopes and dreams and you don't even get the joy of meeting your child. It's awful and it's got gently caress all to do with the pro-life crowd.
