goddamnedtwisto posted:Oh yeah I mentioned it in the covid thread but not here - if there's a large vaccination centre (the type that are in halls, not the type in chemists or hospitals) near you and you fancy jumping the queue, hang around near the front door around six o'clock. At the moment spare doses (not normally a huge amount, maybe a dozen or so) are going to volunteers and non-NHS venue staff but quite a few centres have already hit saturation point for them and are now basically grabbing people off the street. My wife got called up by St Thomas’ hospital since they had her details on file from when she gave birth, she’s mid 30s so isn’t in a priority group. They said they’ve sped through their vaccine list hence them calling up extra people. While she was there the staff were literally asking random people who came in if they wanted a vaccine. Wish I’d gone with her but I had work. We told our friends and a number managed to get vaccinated. Others tried to go today but got turned away, but probably turned up too early.

JeremoudCorbynejad posted:"wokescold" lmao 90% of people itt know what 'wokescold' means, even if they would never deign to use the word themselves they lowkey can parse it. loving fascinating that your first and only response to somone explicitly saying they were wrong about something, but in a tone you didn't like, was to weakly try and put the boot in while making zero actual point.

mrpwase posted:Seriously I see people eating curry and rice for lunch at work and I'm sitting there all sad with my riceless curry and an NHS health page telling me not to reheat rice It's more risky than other foods, and it's the sort of thing where if you've got underlying health problems or are very young/old, it's possibly not worth the risk. I speak as someone who has had rice posioning and I was streaming from both ends for about 6 hours and at least another two lying in an exhausted, dessicated heap on a nest of towels on the bathroom floor. However, that was entirely my fault for not cooling the rice quickly enough. Those packets of microwave rice that can be eaten hot or cold are already cooked, and egg fried rice is made by boiling rice, rapidly cooling it, and then frying it with the egg (and spring onion/peas if you're fancy). If you cook extra for lunch the next day, run it under a cold tap and put it in the fridge.

That didn't bother me but that's because I didn't follow the discussion about GICs in the first place. If you must hear my opinion on the matter, then the fact that you admitted fault is good and more people should have the balls to do it. But I just like to have a little "lol  " at whatever Internet neologism might appear each time you post

From an outside perspective - VP has been getting prodded at a lot for saying some left things but not from the exact same perspective as everyone else, and if you keep prodding at someone they write snippily. It wasn't that they came in and started roaring transphobic poo poo or "Just asking questions". It's useful to have even moderately different perspectives and it's a bit weird to see people going culty on here during the year of our lord QAnon.

It's useful to have even moderately different perspectives and it's a bit weird to see people going culty on here during the year of our lord QAnon. No, VP has been catching flak for ignoring everything anybody posted about the GIC and instead using it as a platform to personally attack Rumda over and over. And now comes in here saying even though that basis was completely flawed, he's still refusing to apologise for targeted harassment of somebody who has been affected personally by the very issue he was completely incorrect about, and in fact continuing with the insults. Harassment and personal abuse are not "left things but not from the exact same perspective as everyone else". And yeah, the fact that VP does so while constantly referencing the language of the alt-right does not particularly encourage me to think they are just a misunderstood lefty. If you want to worry about QAnon cultists, maybe start with the person who just can't stop posting "cuck" every five minutes? Scikar fucked around with this message at 04:10 on Mar 20, 2021 |

In other news, I just found out that the couple living two doors down from my parents apparently died some time ago and nobody noticed until their immediate neighbours saw swarms of flies and called the police. Mum is low-key freaking out as she lives with my stepdad, who has Alzheimer’s, and can’t be relied upon to notify anyone if she were to pass away. Another reason to like multi-generational households, if a rather grim one.

That's sad, I hope neither suffered after the other died, unable to get help  This also happened locally to me, except people had noticed the old lady wasn't out and about, but assumed she was self-isolating or shielding. It happens more often than people are comfortable with even in pre-pandemic times.

Like how much more splintered can we get, realistically? Like you can talk about splintering, but I really, really don't see that it's possible to maintain any kind of solidarity with the kind of nasty fucker who uses woke as an insult. At this point, not threadbanning him is pretty much leaving a missing stair for new posters, because he will attack people when he has one of his regular strops. Most of the thread has him on ignore so they might not have seen his latest one: Vitamin P posted:Also while Rumda absolutely is a disingenuous wokescold bully, Even if he didn't change Rumda & Angepain's AVs, he happily led the attack on them that encouraged the loving coward that actually did it. The second statement I include purely because of how incredibly tone deaf and ignorant it is.
