If anybody hasn't got one I recommend getting a thin, but king size blanket. Very helpful I find for turning yourself into a human fajita when it's cold indoors. Also good for sleeping in. I generally just drag mine around the house when it's the weekend.happyhippy posted:gently caress, I love how they worded that so at a glance it makes Corbyn the evil one in this.

WhatEvil posted:I know this isn't mainly what your post was about, and I'm sure you're aware of this but for others: a reminder HS2 isn't even primarily about speed. It's about capacity. The West Coast Main Line is at capacity. AIUI they can't run any more trains on it because they have to keep minimum separation between trains, and the trains that do run on it are full. Is the actual terminal going to be the same size though? Because tripling capacity and not making Euston bigger sounds like actual hell.

If the photoshop is designed to implicate someone in terrorism (whether jokingly or not) then what's the difference between that and saying 'he's a terrorist' (whether jokingly or not)? I know he donates the money but imagine being such a target for these wankers that you could literally live off continued libel payouts forever. stev fucked around with this message at 21:36 on Nov 27, 2021 |

If you want something to watch then the nazis just got absolutely clowned by the red army in operation uranus this week in world war 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cLFuHE1hu28 Can't wait to see how it ends! (pretty good series IMO, has helped to give a sense of when a lot of the WW2 stuff takes place as I think a lot of the time you hear about famous battles and stuff but it lacks an overall sense of time and place in the war)

Unsurprisingly the thing that got her to open up more was trusting that I would be patient and always having 'safe' backups in case she doesn't like things. And what do you know, taking things at her pace and creating a safe environment for her to try new things means she's eating a much, much wider variety of food. But the comment sections of any article about the crisps girl are inevitably populated by either people calling her mum a bad parent and saying she should be taken into care, or bald nutcases raging about how she should be beaten.

You didn't get it right in one go, and we're looking for anything with a hint of red ink to cross off our ledgers, so this weird and radical design must be scrapped. Immediately. Yes, we mean chop up the prototype and destroy the pieces. No, you can't sell the technology to anyone else to develop. That would make us look dumb for cancelling it in the first place! (Edit: the prototype was faster and longer-ranged than a modern Chinook, and could carry practically the same payload... in the 1950s. But nope, no reason anyone might want that technology developed any further.  )

Cold War Steve's mockups give the impression of the Tories being a corrupt shambles and a running joke about the Emperor's New Clothes, which is true. The Corbyn photoshop gives the impression he's a terrorist sympathiser, which he isn't.

kingturnip posted:Some of the children I've worked with have sensory/behavioural feeding difficulties and... nope. Yeah, I've worked with young people with ARFID. It's absolutely awful. Really not as easy as subbing in food and there can be all sorts of rituals around eating that, if disturbed can mean the difference between a young person starving themselves or going straight to self-harm - for example, I have seen a child with both ARFID and autism go straight to headbutting walls for being given the wrong colour plate.

Is there any understanding of why people have those sorts of problems nowadays? Or did they likely always exist and people just died of them early until quite recently? I can believe that modern society is bad and breaks people's brains because it does, but is that also true for young children?

OwlFancier posted:Is there any understanding of why people have those sorts of problems nowadays? Or did they likely always exist and people just died of them early until quite recently? I'm inclined to think that children with the kind of severe sensory/behavioural feeding difficulties we're talking about probably just got malnourished and any passing virus/bacteria/[x] was enough to do them in. Sounds harsh, but lots of these children also have other behaviours that put them at risk. I've had very stressed parents telling me that their child loves climbing on window sills, which is a problem in their 17th floor flat. Or that if they aren't firmly holding onto them when they walk down the pavement, they'll just run straight out into the road. Also, until ~30 years ago, those kids would have been packed off to the nearest special needs school basically never to be seen by members of the public again, because they'd go from school straight to a residential home. So the only people really aware of them would be their close family, staff at the schools/homes and medical staff.

from the Victorian industrial era onwards till after the Second World War: If you were rich you got sent to a special home, if you were poor in a city you lived till you got your first illness and then no one really tried to save you. Rural areas were much much better with people with learning difficulties, so far as any poor person was treated well - they would be put in with grandparents if the LD was very severe, but mostly they went to work at “the big house”. Plenty of menial repetitive work for all genders to do, in the grounds or in the kitchens. Where it got really bad was the Edwardian era and the upper classes obsession with eugenics, if you were rich you were absolutely abandoned in a home in case people found out that your blood was “tainted”, in the Victorian era that stigma wasn’t there so the homes were more of a respite service than a permanent thing.

Like a lot of these things 'is it new' because we're the snowflakes generations, or did people die of 'unexplained causes' because we didn't understand them. When I was at school (1970s), one girl had nut allergy. She was the only person doing A-level cookery and the practical exam included a recipe involving nuts. The school asked the exam board to set a different recipe given the nut allergy and they wouldn't so she did the exam with as much masking, gloves and ventilation as possible and a private ambulance on standby outside in case she needed medical attention. As for being 'a fussy eater' no tolerance at all. I was forced to eat boiled bacon at school by a teacher one day when I was 10, despite much protesting, went home with a horrendous stomach ache and threw up absolutely everywhere for hours on end.

forkboy84 posted:It's on the iPlayer Thank you! OwlFancier posted:Is there any understanding of why people have those sorts of problems nowadays? Or did they likely always exist and people just died of them early until quite recently? They died. Possibly not even of starvation caused by their disordered eating! Disease was everywhere and people who wouldn't eat the little food that was available to the general population were even more likely to keel over. "Failure to thrive" was a cause of diagnosis that probably meant the infant had food intolerances or a digestive disorder or literally any one of a thousand conditions which we recognise today.

Disabilities were often swept under the carpet, locked behind closed doors or buried 6 feet underground. Unless the parents were rich and willing, I doubt that ultra special dietary needs were even considered, let alone catered for. We lived in a very pigeon holed society, and I've heard older people ask similar questions about why there are so many LGBT people today. It's because society didn't allow people outside of those pigeon holes to easily exist.

it really was only from the Edwardian era onwards where disabilities were seen as shameful because of the whole eugenics thing, both in Christianity and Islam people with learning disabilities were traditionally treated better than anyone else by the church because they are seen as free of sin - this still stands in Muslim countries today. This was an age of TB polio and smallpox where anyone could find themselves disabled.
