Quinch posted:Yeah, a lot of people look at how tolerant and accepting modern culture often is of minorities but can’t accept that any gains are precisely because of the way it has put at the forefront that they are now raging against. They think it should be stopped because it isn’t needed without realising that it’s removal would lead to culture becoming intolerant again, that racism is no where near being a solved issue and it’s an ongoing process. A lot of people have zero understanding of racism because they've been completely insulated from it and they haven't troubled themselves to listen to other people and learn about their experiences. Because things have improved over the decades they think racism is over now, and that everyone experiences a life of equality, like their own. And any visible efforts to address problems and make things better for minorities are actually that equality being tipped in someone else's favour So when they see efforts to be more inclusive and have better representation, they think minorities are getting some kind of VIP treatment in society. They see one brown guy or an asian woman in a thing and go nuts, because they believe POCs just get gifted all the roles now, without realising that the reason they immediately notice non-white people is because they've been excluded from representation for so long So you get this situation where a lot of white people literally believe they're the underclass now (partly fuelled by parts of the media telling them this). And because they have no real understanding of racism, now they feel that being mildly inconvenienced, or very occasionally having to shut up or hear criticism about a social group they belong to... suddenly they're experiencing a fraction of what minorities have to face on a daily basis and no sir they don't like it, and that's probably where all the "white racism!" poo poo comes from

These big companies are shits. How can anyone confuse Osito & co with Haribo? https://www.theguardian.com/food/2020/jan/24/why-cant-we-use-a-bear-spanish-startup-shocked-by-haribo-legal-threat-alcohol-sweets There was a small recording studios in Stroud. Let Nnn stand for the name of a global company. The name of the small recording studios was Nnnhook. After a few months they received a cease and desist letter from global company Nnn. There was never any intention to imply that Nnn had any involvement, it was just 3 letters that were part of a total name. The studios had to rebrand everything because they couldn't afford to fight. I know two young kids with the name Nnn(e) wondering when their parents will get cease and desist letters!

ThomasPaine posted:All very interesting but I'm a little uncertain about this part - I grew up in Tyneside where NUFC is extremely important from a cultural position and many people my family were very close to were season ticket holders. Despite that my parents always (never openly saying it, in their very subtle way) felt like they had this low-key disdain for football fans that I picked up on - stupid, violent, vulgar: read, daily mail working class. I certainly grew up with an elitist attitude towards the game (why waste your time on that pointless rubbish, brb off to spend 8 hours playing videogames), and it was only in my twenties I started to realise that it was an important social and cultural institution for many people in a way I had previously been too arrogant to understand. I still think there are lots of very problematic aspects of the game like tribalism, lots of homophobia, racism, hooliganism etc but where I used to think they were inherent parts of it I now see your point - they're more reflections of left failure and unchallenged right hegemony (with some major exceptions like Celtic). My dad is from London and still got a season ticket to take me and my brother

I might be inclined to suggest if you're looking for british politicians keen on delivering coal to children you might be better off with Alfred Robens than Scargill.

Maugrim posted:Thanks for the fudge, mine arrived this morning and it's very good - having to resist scoffing it all at once! So glad you like it. The sea salt is particularly punchy- it’s the whole flakes on top. But yes, I can see it being a shock if you had the others first! Renaissance Robot posted:How do I get on Camrath's fudge list? Drop me a pm or an email at Fudjit.orders at gmail. I’ll be opening up for pre-valentines orders early next week, and will obviously post here when I do. Anyone have any ideas, desires or good lefty puns for the Valentines goon special?

Urgent advice needed, somebody took just short of 20 co-codamol & is begging me not to take her to hospital. Do I force her? She'd go along with it if I tell her she doesn't have a choice, but likely to never trust me again if she needs help another time e: I've tried persuading her, begging, asking for a favour as a friend, all that poo poo

Maugrim posted:Doesn't co-codamol contain paracetamol? If so get the gently caress to hospital 20 (assuming 500mg ea) is not likely to kill you in the short term though. That's more like "without an antidote applied within 12 hours you could be looking at liver damage which you don't notice today but shows up later in life in terrible ways". But that all depends on the person, alcohol consumption, diet, etc. so best to apply antidote.

If you don't take her you'll never get another chance for her to trust you either.

Get a loving medical professional there, STAT. Depending on the dose and their liver state, this isn't good. Also whatever is going in in their life that led them to, I assume, attempt overdose in the first place.

I'm not a doctor, but don't risk it. Codeine overdose brings a risk of breathing problems, including stopping altogether. 10g of Paracetamol is also a level at which delayed liver damage can occur. https://www.mayoclinic.org/drugs-supplements/codeine-oral-route/side-effects/drg-20074022

Thanks guys, took her to A&E. She has flipped the gently caress out but eh. She'll def get the chance to calm down now, at least. Trust concern was more just worrying whether she'll tell me if she takes a lot more next time, but hopefully she'll get over it. Anyway, how about them Tories, eh

As a turkish delight fan I'd be interested to try a rose-flavoured fudge but I can't think of a good lefty pun for it.

Which is definitely enough to do serious damage to her liver and so you did the right thing. Going to A&E or where ever is scary as hell but paracetamol toxicity isn't something to experience. forkboy84 fucked around with this message at 17:12 on Jan 24, 2020 |

Going to play armchair psychologist here but this feels more like a cry for help than anything. If she truly wanted to end it all then why tell someone when it gives them an obvious chance to step in and stop you? I think she will be very grateful to you in the future when she’s feeling a bit better.

I hope she understands, it's the right thing to do either way, you'd be a poo poo friend if you didn't put her welfare before her opinion of you. Plus like, what was she expecting you to do if not try to get her to hospital?

nthing "just get them help" and you can't not act now for fear of not being able to act again in the future. Though 20 cocodamol is a bad tummy at best and a slightly fuzzy short lived high. e: As pointed out it's right on the line of "oh gently caress" so yeah good job Borrovan

Lord Ludikrous posted:Going to play armchair psychologist here but this feels more like a cry for help than anything. If she truly wanted to end it all then why tell someone when it gives them an obvious chance to step in and stop you? A common one seems to be a reaction against the pain of living without a desire to actually die but without knowing what else to do, which generally points to some underlying issues.

The knowledge that she'd overdosed, and you wouldn't do anything about it? She put you in an incredibly difficult position, helping her is the only thing you could do in that moment She might not actually be grateful (although I guess Lord L maybe means in the "in a better place" sense) but you did the right thing, and I'm sure on some level she expected it

Guavanaut posted:Parasuicides are all kinds of weird and often the person themselves doesn't even know why they did it. That's spot on for my sole direct experience of a suicide attempt. A relative of mine od'd on paracetamol as a teenager because as well as being in pain they felt miserable and trapped in their life at the time. Talking about it afterwards it was like you describe - "I wasn't thinking about dying or anything, I just... kept taking them"
