The best sandwich is the one you want right now. A solid contender for top 10 status in my book would be rye bread, butter and smoked ham. A simple finnish classic.  Edit:

Ofaloaf posted:I'm not sure not arguing with people like that in some place like Facebook isn't useless- it's just that you wouldn't be arguing to convince the other person, but arguing for the passive audience which is always there in social media. If you say nothing, other people would see that comment stand unchallenged, and assume it to be true since it's said by someone in a prestigious/vaguely-responsible-for-things position and not jumped on by anyone. With the simple act of disagreeing, you can make people doubt the other person's words, just a little. Good points both. I sometimes forget the passive audience. A few years back I posted about FGM. Several months later a Malaysian friend who just about never 'likes' or comments on my posts messaged me to say that thanks to my posts she'd convinced a friend not to have her daughter cut. Others have now jumped in on that CFO post to say what I didn't say.

People don't really believe these things, they just kind of have them in their mind as "things which are true" but don't stand up to any scrutiny. Their supposed position only exists in order to allow them to feel morally justified acting in their own naked self interest.

Rain chat: My flat is directly over a river. There's also a river monitoring point there as well. It has gone up to 4.2m that is 2.5m higher than about 10pm last night. Haven't seen it this high since February 2016 when it got to over 5m and was roaring loudly (literally). A few years ago, this would have burst the banks and flooded all the surrounding fields. Fortunately the council spent some money on flood defence works.

Confused the poo poo out of me this morning because I got an email from Paypal with "Receipt from your payment to [yourname]", and I assume you know there's a company which also has your name, so I was thinking "What?

CGI Stardust posted:Question: obviously it's possible for the "benefit cap" sense of fairness to change over time, but is it responsive to attempts at deliberate change as part of a messaging campaign by party or grassroots, or is it taken as immutable given current conditions? Similarly for stuff like borders, police etc.; without some attempt at changing it, we're stuck with an anaemic party that can't really make progress on these issues, and will just continue reinforcing the same framing - like, arguing using the efficiency of UC frames the cost of services the most important factor, not the human outcome. I don't think it's immutable, as such, but a large, cumbersome big-tent political party is potentially not well-placed to be the agent of change The most direct answer is always "but special sympathetic/unsympathetic cases", and from there one needs a raft of civil-society organizations which can float various test balloons to see whether they resonate. This is a terribly risky exercise which is why these organizations need to be disposable and have existences not tied to the party at large. They are effective mainly if they are, let's say, not terribly rigorous with the truth and the context - their purpose is appeals to outrage and a sense of injustice, so the purer the injustice the better, and factors like "context" can drain all momentum out of it. And it's hard to foretell exactly which exaggerations the public will react negatively towards, you just have to fling it out there and see if it gets traction Only once these civil-social movements have channelled sufficient outrage does the party step in with a policy which seeks to codify the vague sense of injustice into some actionable set of principles and policies... that is when the sloganeering and messaging part can take place

What can I say, I've amassed some stuff over the years. A lot of my stuff is bought 2nd hand, some were gifts, the big cutting board was a hand me down from my grandmother and is over 20 years old, the other wooden cutting boards I have made myself as I have my own means of production out back.

Sanitary Naptime posted:Was having a think about this, and honestly, playing the brinksmanship game and winning on labours part over the extension before election could be a massive boost to labours negotiating credibility in the upcoming election with leave voters. Hm, I'm not sure what you mean about brinkmanship being a big boost. Has Labour decided what they're doing about Johnson's latest election request then? All the media are screaming at them for being indecisive; of course most of that is the media being total poo poo, but meh. The EU has apparently said that they will only decide on the length of the extension after Johnson and Labour somehow figure out what they're going to do after the extension is decided, or something like that. So how is that going to work exactly? Do Labour have to guess now how long the extension will be, and then (try to) legislate something suitable, before the EU actually offers the extension? It just looks like the EU is being annoyingly difficult for no good reason. They could just offer a three-month extension as requested and be done with it.

Guavanaut posted:Sure, but from their perspective if they offer three months and Johnson says "I will make good use of this by continuing to wank in my office and force Michael Gove to eat the resultant biscuits for my amusement, then deliver a dramatic speech on Jan 31 while having achieved nothing" then an extension is just a waste of everyone's time and money.
