#communistbroadband is trending on Twitter. Really think calling everything good communist will backfire on the Tories. EDIT: I also totally missed we apparently announced interest free loans for electric cars, that's an awesome idea . https://twitter.com/UKLabour/status/1195426256445231105

Jose posted:anyone have any idea why my phone would suddenly stop getting data? it says it has a 4g connection and regular calls/texts work If rebooting worked - SIM got out of sync with the tower or just an arbitrary bug with your phone. If it didn't - and you're sure you have data cap available - it's probably your local tower. Forcing your phone to 3G-only *might* do the trick if the issue is just with the 4G equipment, otherwise you'll just have to wait for the provider to notice and fix. (Third possibility, if you're with an MVNO, is they have network issues - the RAN provider would normally handle your calls and texts but would hand the data portion over to the MVNO - obviously you'd need to contact them to find this out and rectify).

CGI Stardust posted:Ta. I'm hoping that's all new voters, and not students registering in a new place; but on the bright side the 250k increase over the 2017 batch might at least be a minimum increase in voter base! Still 10 days to go. Wor lass has been out canvassing in a student heavy area. The kids aren't just alright. They're mobilised, organised and ready. They've spent their teenage years watching lib dems and tories at work and they're itching to fight back. Observations from the doorstep are: They're planning to vote tactically in the geographical sense- whichever constituency they can have the best effect. Lib dem messaging is falling on deaf ears. For every flyer they get telling them to vote lib dem, they have a student loans company letter reminding them why not.

I read an article about US politics that found that the general trend of branding anything that wasn't white-hot free market unregulated capitalism as socialism/communism was, in the modern age of social media and widely-available information, just turning a lot of people onto actual socialism who would otherwise be soft conservatives or liberals. When you try and scare people with "Thinking everyone should have regulated supplies of clean, safe drinking water in their home is socialism!!!!' or "Requiring your employer to actually have a reason to sack you is basically like Mao's China!!!!", a lot of people think that socialism sounds like a pretty reasonable and obvious idea, start looking into it and then a lot of them get hooked by actual left-wing policies.

Josef bugman posted:err. Does having one meal a day and it being just mcvities chocolate digestives count? Real food is important for maintaining good mental health, though I recognise that it can be a difficult thing to organise. I also would never begrudge anyone their little comforts. But they should be had in addition to real food, not instead of I say this not to chide, but because skipping real food will necessarily have a negative impact on your mood and mental health. I find food preparation extremely difficult for mental health reasons, so I've come up with some strategies to minimise the faff for myself. Lidl soups are awesome. 99p and I just have to put it in the microwave, stagger back to bed, go back to the kitchen after five minutes or so, then eat  I eat a few of their healthier ready meals as well, and I buy their beef offcuts to mix in to make it a heartier meal. This is only a tiny bit harder to prepare than the soup - it just adds a little mixing. I keep apples, carrots and peanut butter near my bed, so I can snack on whichever is most appropriate for the amount of sugar I want The peanut butter I eat with a spoon. It's a decent fat/protein combo in a pinch. Sometimes I keep nuts, tomatoes and oranges around as well. There is generally something around that I can face eating This is what works for me. I'm definitely not trying to tell anyone what to do, but maybe some of these ideas will help someone. At the very least, keeping some fruit within arm's reach can help get the blood sugar back to a sensible level

Forcing yourself to smile and say "thank you" at a compliment is a really good exercise, both from this perspective and because it acknowledges that the other person went out of their way to pay you that compliment. It makes them feel good to have made you feel good. It's a nice thing to do. E: this assumes the compliment is innocuous and genuinely meant and not some creep being creepy at you Maugrim fucked around with this message at 23:02 on Nov 15, 2019 |

If you watch Americans interviewing Americans it can seem very saccharine where the interviewer gives a compliment and the interviewee says 'thankyou, thankyou. You watch a Brit being interviewed by an American though and they tend to deflect by saying "Oh well really it was down to the director and writer and the wonderful lighting team" and so on, but won't accept the compliment themselves. Very similar in real life. I've had friend groups I've hosed with in the past by just outright complimenting them and had to sit through about ten minutes of "are you taking the piss," then "It's just a shirt," then "yeah well it was on sale" before eventually I drag a begrudging "I like it, thought it looks smart" out of them. God we're such a broken little nation.

Barry Foster posted:Yeah this is true. I absolutely cannot take a compliment, it makes me profoundly uncomfortable. I'll always make a joke of it and do it down, and that's probably not very healthy. I used to be like that, but nowadays I think that we don't get or give enough compliments. It's pretty unusual for most of us that any positive achievement or anything positive about us is recognised by others, because we are socialised to be extremely sparing with our compliments. Social interaction is a power game, or so we are taught. But I think that's bullshit. There are good things about me. Why should I pretend that there aren't when someone tries to recognise them? Why shouldn't I give myself a break from that? And why should I mix with people who want to play power games with me? It's exhausting, and it's bullshit. Friends are your support, and you are theirs. These days I'm grateful to be told that a person respects me for something about me or that I have done. It feels good, and it keeps me grounded when my mind is being paranoid and self-hating. And if I have a nice thought about someone I know, I try to tell them, just because it might make them feel good. They're generally a little stunned by it until they get used to my completely unprovoked compliments It's okay to take compliments. It's not a sign of ego, or selfishness or anything like that. And there are good things about everyone. It's okay to accept that about yourself

Bobby Deluxe posted:I was watching something where an American (quite possibly on YouTube) was saying something about how Japanese people found compliments to be rude / awkward and they don't know how to deal with them, and it kind of touches on how English people are - more accurately - afraid of being seen as big headed if we accept the compliment. In a similar vein, some Japanese corporations have a position colloquially called "American" whose entire role is to be a foreigner in the room to say things like "no that's a stupid-rear end idea" because the average Japanese salaryman is absolutely NEVER going to tell his boss that an idea is actually bad and necks need winding in. Accepting compliments feels intensely uncomfortable to me and the closest I can manage is to turn it into a joke by going "Oh you like this skirt? Yeah I guess I'm just the greatest fashionista ever, Sebastian Sato himself could learn a thing from me." but replying "Oh thanks it's cute, isn't it?" makes me dizzy just typing out.
