I think there were a bunch of conditions on how it had to be spent, which sounds very EU.

But they could have loving made some bare minimum of effort to meet them, or said "as we are unable to meet the conditions we will be sourcing an equivalent amount from the Treasury" and they didn't, which is very Tory.

That's some stark figures. And yay, it'll get even worse if we don't elect Corbyn.

Any time I raise this poo poo with my dad he's all like "yes it's tragic how incompetent the government is and rest assured your beloved slogan-chanters at the labour party will do an even worse job" and I get consternated and we have to change the subject.

Incompetent. Right. Moral and professional accountability is only for poor people.

holy poo poo shut up guys my wisdom teeth are coming through and I'm going to have to get them removed sooner or later and I am not looking forward to it. A couple of them are ok but the top ones in particular feel like they're coming in at a 45 degree different angle to the rest of my teeth. Praying that they reposition themselves as they come through more. They're so weird though, I had a bottom one come through quite quickly and it seemed to be ok once it was through the gum, then the second bottom one starts coming through but only makes it halfway through the gum then stops for some reason with a flap of gum over it. The top ones were only just poking through for over a year then all of a sudden decided to make their move. Absolute nightmare to keep clean because of the angles and how far up in the back of my mouth they are.

Just have them operated out like everyone else?

They allowed foodbanks though. I completely believe that the Tories would have blocked funding foodbanks because a swell in funding would lead to more people using them and a potential bad headline, completely believe that groups like the Trussell Trust both support a lot of foodbanks and also would fall foul of anti-corruption standards, and completely believe that the UK is particularly harsh about small community groups not getting access to government funds, it's historically been the case. Hate to say it and you may be right but don't think we can blame the EU on this particular failure, it's Tory scummery.

Is it too late for wisdom teeth chat? I had one of mine out a couple of years ago. 3 of them were fine but one of them was "lol nope, gonna grow at 90 degrees to all the others, see ya, suckers!" And the funny thing about wisdom teeth is when they grow they surround themselves in a liquid that basically melts anything it comes across, including other teeth. They did managed to get it out under general anaesthetic without permanently paralysing my lip which they reckoned they had a 5% chance of doing. Fun times. But if they'd left it in I'd be in way worse shape so god, yeah, get them out the second they start causing you any hassle.

None because I don't hate myself that much.

I just remember it getting really big a few years ago, I think when the star wars film came out? And the response making fun of it seemed much bigger than the actual users, and then it kind of got absorbed into general use because people found the concept utterly ridiculous and started using it in completely nonsense situations, like "oh I forgot my keys I really cucked myself there lol"

Again similar trajectory to the skulls and fedoras imo. I'm sure there's people still using it sincerely but like, if you see someone putting a fedora on something now you don't think they're actually a big edgelord you probably think they're making fun of them. I wouldn't really assume someone's alt right for using it, personally.

I find it even more irritating when used knowingly or ironically, especially in popular culture. I'm really not a fan of characters saying 'betacuck' to communicate to the viewer that they're a shitbag.

Actual alt right fucks still use it all the time though.

Wasn't the complaint that completely free movement would destroy the NHS because everyone would come and get treated for free.

Which is wrong, sure, but it's wrong because even open borders doesn't actually allow people to get here and stay here while being treated. Not because if, theoretically, we actually had free movement in the sense that anyone who wanted to come to the UK magically could, we'd run out of the ability to sustain the population growth generally. Which we would.

A free at the point of use NHS combined with the actual ability for anyone to travel to the UK and use it would put major strain on it, but the last bit is the understated bit, because no free movement plan actually allows for that, it still selects really only for people with the means to travel to the UK and find residence here, which is a big ask for most people in the world, let alone people who need medical care.

If you're thinking about an actual ideal vision of free movement it presents a problem but we wouldn't ever get one of those. Free movement is more "expensive, but otherwise impartial" movement.

Bourgeois movement, I guess.

A surprising amount of actual doctors don't (didn't? jabby?) seem to know this, which means they end up suspecting drug seeking if you were to say "codeine doesn't work on me, it'd have to be something stronger".

Which looking at it in writing does sound pretty drug-seeky, but actually means "codeine doesn't work on me, it'd have to be something stronger [than how I experience codeine, which is about the same as a paracetamol]".

I'm hoping there's more awareness of this now (that isn't run by literal drug pushers like in the US), because it's kinda weird and hosed up to have to lie and say you're allergic to codeine to get a pain killer that works.

(Would that be a lie? I guess so, the operative issue is being hyposensitive rather than hypersensitive.)

Yeah, I know about the differences in codeine metabolism. They mention it at med school, don't know how many doctors pay attention though.

To be honest if you tell me codeine doesn't really work for you it probably comes across less drug-seeky than telling me you're allergic to codeine. Especially if you can't answer the follow up question of 'what happens when you take it?' convincingly.

Either way my next offer is going to be tramadol, which is also a weak opioid so I'll give out just as happily as codeine. If you have a reason you can't take codeine AND tramadol then it definitely raises the suspicions, but it honestly takes more than that to come across as drug-seeking. It's actually fairly easy to tell who's genuinely in pain and who isn't.
