Has there ever been a halloween variant of a foodstuff that is actually superior to the original? I would say no.

issue but the left is really bad at creating irrational, emotionally-charged propaganda compared to the right, and they might be more successful in terms of sheer numbers of voters if they were more open to manipulating people.

What the gently caress is this and why is it not being more widely reported. (Sorry if old news). https://www.newstatesman.com/politics/brexit/2019/09/british-army-corporal-tweets-angela-rayner-will-perish-brexit-civil-war quote:A corporal in the British Army issued a death threat to a Labour MP and appeared to incite “civil war” on Twitter on Wednesday afternoon. quote:The Ministry of Defence confirmed to the New Statesman this morning that the corporal "is a serving member of the Armed Forces”. Showing up as broken image in NS link now, but someone saved it:  Why is his name blurred out as if he's the one in need of protection here.

We get these in Finland, one of my favorite. IMO a superior version of Oreos (which we also get):

Chocolate rarely lasts more than 2-3 days in my household. White chocolate, on the other hand, I've had in the cupboard since Christmas. Not even in my most chocoholic, jonesing for a hit, itchy arms moments have I considered eating it for relief from cravings.

Just got round to listening to the latest pod, is it Swinson who exclusively pronounces it 'breggzit'? I'm far from a language proscriptivist, but that poo poo has the effect of a polystyrene squeak for me.

It's heavy as hell and I'm pretty sure they made it by melting down old Nokias and pouring them into a mold. Is it the big black one with the tiers and the cut out in front? FRED or something like that. I've got one of those and want to block in the cutout somehow.

The right will just lie, lie and lie again saying alarmist sensationalist bullshit until people are so whipped up that they are devoid of reason. The left just doesn't do that for the most part. Its not just even something that the bigger players do, its endemic all the way down to your average Joe fascist on the street. People who are on the right wing lie with such ease and reckless abandon. Junior G-man posted:Chocolate orange is just a bad combination and you should feel bad for liking it. This is just wrong, you should feel bad. Terry's Chocolate Orange is a national treasure. This is brilliant. VVVV

I will chime in to say Australia has a decent biscuit game, but I only put that down to being in the commonwealth. Also the independent’s brainworm crew are in full swing, you don’t even need the full paid article to start saying “uhhhh...”: https://www.independent.co.uk/voices/uk-supreme-court-parliament-ruling-boris-johnson-brexit-a9121981.html

Reading that New Statesman piece and it has a good Bush article about polling https://www.newstatesman.com/politics/staggers/2019/09/boris-johnsons-electoral-strategy-working-heres-why-its-so-hard-tell Basically talking about how there's two types of polls, which he smirkingly calls "big Johnson" and "little Johnson" according to whether they show Johnson to be popular or not. Of note, Survation, the only one that got the GE right, is part of little Johnson. But his analysis points to the fact that if big Johnson polls are accurate, this may actually be the worst-case scenario for Johnson, because if this is the best he can achieve in this environment, he has no further height to gain as he'd have to instead persuade Labour voters to vote Lib Dem or Green. But how can he do that? Making Labour voters go Lib Dem instead would have to be over their Brexit stance, in which case he'd have to portray Corbyn as not as heavily Remain as current, which could peel back Brexit Party voters to Labour. And with the Greens he'd have to portray the Tories are more environmentally conscious, on par with Labour, which would peel voters off from the Tories to the Brexit Party. Food for thought, certainly.

To be fair though, white chocolate is gross. It may as well be sweetened condensed milk in bar form. Dark chocolate on the other hand is the nectar of the chocolate gods straight from the teet.

I'm a bit of a lurker so I hope you don't mind me asking for some opinions on a tenancy thing. My landlord wants to change the carpets (not for good reasons) but I'm intending to move soon. I don't have anywhere to move to yet, but anticipate finding somewhere within a month's time. I don't want to have the disruption of the carpet change, only to be moving out shortly after. I want to tell the estate agent (I don't deal with the landlord) of my intention to leave so they can leave it til after I'm gone, but this would be before I could give my official notice so I'm concerned they could do something to mess with me before I find somewhere. Is it safe to be honest with them here? I'm a bit paranoid with tenancy issues.

white chocolate is one of those things where i can acknowledge that yes it is probably a crime against Real Chocolate or whatever but allegiance to Real Chocolate means nothing when i am shoving the sweet sugary goodness straight into my mouth. sorry i have loyalty to nothing but sucrose also the white chocolate oranges were indeed great

Deketh posted:I'm a bit of a lurker so I hope you don't mind me asking for some opinions on a tenancy thing. What's your history with the agency? Have they been responsive to your requests before or really bad? Something like carpets are probably easier to do when the property isn't tenanted so they might be very keen to know they can do it fuss free in a short period of time but that depends entirely on the service they normally give. You must have a pretty short agreement if a months notice is too long, I wouldn't necessarily worry about the timing too much there.

I think tactical voting is fine. You should do everything you can to prevent pro-Tory parties (Conservatives, DUP, Brexit, Lib Dems) from getting MPs.
