The Question IRL posted:It is something have thought about. But we would prefer to have biological children of our own. Good luck with it, especially as you were trying anyway. Sure, the hospitals might be a wee bit full in the future, but chances are this is going to last another 18 months or so anyway. Every single one of our ancestors has had to deal with famine, war, slavery, poverty, the bubonic plague, the Spanish flu and so on. Even before that, as apes, tree rats, lizards, fish; we're just another link in the chain. To cease wanting to carry on that lineage just because some drunk posh oval office misread a spreadsheet seems to go against the millenia of suffering everything else endured to get you here.

Lungboy posted:It's not for everyone but have you considered adopting? Please don't say this. As someone who was approved as an adopter about 16 years ago, it is NOT an easy process and you are totally abused by the care system. I still get very upset over the deeds of the social services. I did a post about some time ago. I ended up not adopting because I could not go through the emotional wringer like that again.

what's the point of this letter anyway? have toilet paper shortages got that bad already? I already read it and the headline of "this will get worse before it gets better" is the entirety of the message about how much worse it's going to get, there is no "levelling" about the likely length of the intervention and no indication of the sort of consequences we should be bracing ourselves for also it says the government has one simple rule, "you must stay home" and then goes on to repeat the list of exceptions to that one simple rule, including the bit about how you "should" work from home "if you can" basically it's not worth the paper it's printed on (apparently it cost £5 million)

My wife and I can't have kids and we've thought about it a couple of times.

Mega Comrade posted:As people seem to appreciate cute pictures during these tough times, here are some pictures of my guinea pigs Holy poo poo those are the cutest things ever. In other news, this Billy Joe Saunders seems like a nice chap. quote:Saunders filmed himself hitting a punchbag while appearing to show men how to hit their partners should they get into an argument during the lockdown. Trigger warning for domestic violence I guess. The Sun has the video and the rest of the transcript, as he demos it on the punching bag. "As she comes in, she's coming at you and you've lost it, just keep it safe with the hands. So as she comes in, she's just about to say something, all of a sudden you explode and hit her on the chin. "At this time she may flash and see white and think, 'What's happened?', she's in a state of a horror. "She doesn't know what's going on and all of a sudden you dip down on that knee and you finish her off. That should do the trick." Apparently it's all just a lark and he doesn't condone domestic violence however. Eugh: he seems like a real piece of work. quote:Saunders recently had his trainer Ben Davison and stable-mate Josh Taylor kicked off a plane after calling Delta Airlines with a coronavirus warning.

lol they're trying to memory hole the Government's plan to do nothing and let everyone get sick so badly. It'd be funny if it wasn't going to work. Jose posted:Oh god Rachel reeves is rumoured to be starmers choice for shadow chancellor It sucks that the Labour after Corbyn is going to be just as poo poo as the Labour before Corbyn. Wish he'd just deselected all these swine. But at least I can go back to hating the English and proposing rebuilding Hadrian's wall and electrifying it.

Guavanaut posted:That sounds a lot like the "we have to keep sending lads to die in the trenches otherwise we dishonour the memory of the lads we sent to die in the trenches" argument. The suffering of existence is what has prompted philosophers and scholars going back to antiquity to advise against it. Most of them didn't leave a genetic lineage of course, but they did leave their thoughts so that we can learn from them. It's even in the Bible (not that most Christians read that bit. The Catholic clergy evidently have though, which is why most of them opt out while encouraging their flocks to participate as much as possible). That's the main reason why I'm personally against sending any more to the front. https://twitter.com/Seej500/status/1191369044336742400 That social distancing diagram except instead of coronavirus it's the act of existing.

Unless it's specifically marked as an FAC air rifle or it's actually a .22LR that looks like an air rifle, in which case yeah, call someone. If it's rusted beyond the point of operability it's not legally a firearm though (offer may not apply to BAME people, Irish, and Glaswegian carpenters).
