They have too many eggs for the deli because nobody wants to buy food that been sitting out while people cough on it and paw at it so they're selling them off in bulk. The weirder thing is that they're dated september 11th so either the picture is a week old or they're selling sacks of week out of date boiled eggs.

justcola posted:A friend of mine is against burqa's because he finds them oppressive. I am for them because people should be able to wear what they want, as what we wear stems from culture. Although on a deeper level I am against all traditions and identities and people should be able to be whatever they want. It's a very thorny issue. 'Coerced intent' or 'internalised coercion' or whatever you want to call it, essentially the status of thinking the choices you're making are yours alone when in fact they may not be, is a subject that requires a lot of nuance. Sometimes it's not enough for a person to just say 'it's my choice' because there may be 9001 factors behind them including the obvious ones like patriarchal control. Is the person really content or do they just want an easy life so they're saying everything is fine? Is the choice to just minimise confrontation and act like everything's fine actually valid in of itself? Everyone has their own thresholds to both the main and the sub-questions.

if you threw them off a multi storey car park I bet it would go pop and spray eggs everywhere failing that it would make a great present to leave under some floorboards for a lovely landlord

CoolCab posted:in jars like god intended That's pickled eggs, not regular boiled. A surprising amount of the food you eat from sandwich places comes in blue bags covered in suspicious fluids. Though that said there is an opportunity there for some enterprising sort to buy up all the eggs and pickle them all and sell them again at an inflated price.

Apropos nothing: if you are engaged in working from home and have an accident in your home (say trip over the power cord of your laptop while fetching a file or something), who do you claim against? Employer's insurance or your personal insurance?

He stank, his breath stank, his clothes stank - all stank of pickle.

Zizek dresses like he just rolled out of the trash can, but is that deliberate or he just doesn't care? Either way, he still wears clothes (unlike some other philosophers), I assume because at least in part society coerces you or at least keeps naked hairy old men out of academia for the most part. I think 90% of the problem people have with Islamic dress, regardless of any overtures to bodily autonomy or culture or lip reading, is just "it looks different and I don't like it", which seems familiar.

https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/news/north-east-news/local-lockdown-north-east-rules-18945698 Is teesside not part of the north east now? Also far be it for me to criticize the government but perhaps we could have a standard set of rules rather than having different lockdown rules for every part of the UK.

if i was a police i would tell the protesters exactly what the most disruptive tactic is, that would get them to stop doing it right away honestly if I was conspiratorially-minded I'd start suspecting that they actually don't find flopping disruptive at all but pretend they do because why would you just come out and say it like that. but they're probably just incompetent as well as dickheads oh and in other news, an employment tribunal has ruled that present equalities legislation does in fact cover non-binary people, so at least something is going in a somewhat reasonable direction in hell country

I also ask because if it isn't part of the north east that means some other part of the country is responsible and I don't think they would accept us being lumped in with them. We might end up with a berwick situation.

So many people have this insane idea that there is a magical form of protest that is both non threatening but also effective. Well XR are the most milquetoast, decorous protestors ever and they are completely useless while also still being criticized for being too disruptive and alienating.

You can claim tax relief for the period that you were working from home. Employers should be able to do it but surprisingly are often unwilling, in which case you can submit a form to HMRC.
