Welp, I think all I accomplished is making my friend pissed at me, she's now accusing me of "trying to justify antisemitism on the left because I don't like the tories".

She's definitely one of those people who would be a hard left-wing voter if not for the fact that the media has poisoned her to think Corbyn is going to persecute the Jews. She even cited that recent video the tabloids are running with where Jews weren't specifically mentioned as being protected.

's frustrating as hell but I don't think there's any progress to be made here.

call her out on her obvious antisemitism for assuming that none of the people in that video are Jewish just because they aren't wearing kippahs IMO

Bit of an assumption to imply that this was sent by a Labour supporter - it could just as easily have been a concerned Tory worried that IDS isn't eating properly with all the time he's having to spend outside the crypt canvassing.

e:
Interesting but maybe not that useful vitamin D chat - I read a nice study a while back suggesting that in Arctic regions, where for much of the winter there are exactly 0 hours of sunlight a day, indigenous communities that rely on a more traditional diet full of stuff like seal, fish and reindeer meat, tend to have far lower incidence of vitamin D deficiency than people of the same ethnic groups living in cities with better access to more varied foods. Fatty fish and some polar animals have a lot of the vitamin stored up and you get much more of it from eating them. When I was living north of the Arctic circle most people I knew took supplements daily and claimed it helped.

Jews and Sikhs are the only specifically protected faith groups in the UK, due to the giant :can: around whether it's a faith or an ethnicity, and the fact that Nazis/Hindu Nats don't care about the distinction when doing a genocide.

But... that was rabble-rousing rhetoric.

"Without credibility, we become a target. Unless we've got a Prime Minister that is prepared to use force if necessary against those who would do us harm, we won't be safe. If you care about the defence of our country, and if you care about the men and women of our armed forces and our intelligence agencies, then please, on the 12th of December, vote for your Conservative candidate."

The Conservatives - noted carers about the men and women of our armed forces and veterans of same.

The big tough Tories will protect you! Enjoy this war tech porn!

Our troops don't need an alternative vote or body armour! They need immunity from prosecution for war crimes! (Unless they're the fall guy for someone more powerful.)

Probably totally late (thread fast) but I started taking 5-HTP and Vitamin D (bought both together off Amazon for less than £20), and the difference it has made to my life is night and day.

Previously in the winter months I would have to seriously fight against the urge to end my life, for months on end, and it was really tiring.

I’ve got a son this year, so couldn’t really try to squeak through another winter being like that, and against all my natural inclinations to not take that sort of thing, I took the advice of friends and started taking both at the same time, and holy gently caress, for me it’s better than any anti-depressant. I feel like I do in the summer months, which is capable and upbeat.

Is it the Vit D, is it the 5-HTP? Who gives a poo poo at that price?

Again, I realise this is all anecdote but Vit D is just so cheap I don’t know why anyone wouldn’t give it a shot. The 5-HTP will probably gently caress you up, maybe fatally, if you already take SSRI’s so bear that in mind.

By 2030 I thoroughly expect her to be operating off a modernised sailing ship based out of a secret island near Mauritius, launching Houthiesque drone strikes against American oil interests while Trump flails around trying to find her.
