Someone mentioned in this thread a week or so ago that it might be a good idea to canvas people living on the streets and encourage them to vote. That kind of sat in the back of my brain a bit, but now we're actually having a meeting about the best way to go about this and if that goes well, hopefully get out there to speak to some people on the streets next week. I figure in practical terms it's going to mean getting yelled at a lot and probably abused, but worth a shot. We think the trickiest part will be that we cannot give them food or money while canvassing, and it'd be totally understandable for someone to be all "what the gently caress do I need a vote for when I'm starving right now?" Anyway - thanks to whoever suggested this in the first place. If anyone has any thoughts on what the best way to do this would be let me know. https://twitter.com/NatureAttracts/status/1195749160634335232?s=20 ^ a socialist cat

Rarity posted:They have said to me "you're not cleaning your teeth properly" every time I go. Ah. Well do what Jose said and also do ring around if you're up to it, I had luck each of the three or four times I was in the same position in Bristol. Had luck at the one I mentioned, I think also the Eastville health centre(?) and another one in that area

Guavanaut posted:Could you not give money or food as part of a non-partisan voter registration drive and then later at a different point someone else mention party policy? Political party groups can't do this no. Necrothatcher posted:Anyway - thanks to whoever suggested this in the first place. If anyone has any thoughts on what the best way to do this would be let me know. You're going to need volunteers to allow their addresses to be used to register the homeless in whatever constituency the person you're registering is in so check the boundaries carefully. You will also need to have a vague idea of where the polling station will be or check that they have some way of finding out later.

Dentist chat: I usually never have tooth problems but earlier this year I had some severe swelling near a wisdom tooth and it turned out to be good build up. The dentist prescribed me antibiotics and it basically went away immediately.

Feels like the whole brexit thing has backfired on the Tories now an election is called because people are desperate to talk about literally anything other than brexit

We've checked this, and homeless people can fill out a special register to vote form that allows them to enter the address or place "where you spend a large part of your time". This can literally be something like, "the shop doorway next to Tesco, the High Street."

She's right, a pedophile who never acts on their urges is a far better person than someone who solicits sex from minors. One's a crime and the other isn't. Great work!

Angepain posted:the only downside is some poor kid is going to have to spend time with Boris Johnson for the sake of impartiality This was actually from May's tenure, and had her on first, where the girl asked if it was hard to be a politician because of all the negative comments, and May said it was indeed, and the girl said "I've had a lot of negative comments too" in a sympathetic way and May, fully in rake-step mode, instinctively responded with "yes, you would, because of your" and managed to cough and catch herself before saying "public platform."

I do not recommend weed for anything teeth related, btw. you do not want to dry your mouth out when you’re in dental pain.

I went in saying "my wisdom tooth is cutting my cheek and it hurts" and he was just like "want it out?" and did it there and then. Then I spent like two and a half weeks with dull throbbing pain constantly. When I went back and did a second one half a year later (the mirror of the other one) the pain was gone in one and a half weeks. Not sure if I'd become used to the pain or the procedure was less impacted. Also Joris is giving a ranting pants-making GBS threads performance https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Agew83LN1Aw
