Lady Demelza posted:Does anyone else remember the mid-90s film Different for Girls? It was about two childhood friends who reconnect as adults, and one of them is a transwoman. From memory, it was pro-trans (and anti-police), although I imagine there would be all sorts of cringey moments on a rewatch. They had a male actor playing the transgender character for starters. On that note, Coronation Street had a trans character starting in 1998: https://twitter.com/RussellHayward/status/1453861254913740802?s=20 Now I didn't actually watch Coronation Street but from what I've read others saying it seems to have been handled quite well?

As far as I've heard on my currently limited reading into British LGBT cultural history it has held up pretty well, aside from having a cis actor play her. I think most people forgive that as an aspect of the time it aired and not a deliberate form of transphobia/limiting of the role.

WhatEvil posted:On that note, Coronation Street had a trans character starting in 1998: Yeah it was handled excellently if I remember correctly. My family was a big fan of corrie back then, used to watch it together. I seem to remember her husband Roy just went 'yeah so what' when asked about it and that was it really. Course they had some characters written to be transphobe, after all its a story in a soap opera and you have to have tension. But it ended up no one giving two shits about it.

Danger - Octopus! posted:Thanks, I was half-reading the article and half going on what I was told when someone in a bank I worked at showed what would happen as a demonstration of some of their security. It was a neat surprise! No, the article says it's illegal (and I can certainly believe a bank security person would tell you it was too). It's a good-enough simplification for both a short read on a website and a quick chat, I just can't resist a "Well, actually...".

big scary monsters posted:Honestly creating high quality images of notes shouldn't be a barrier to anyone with a couple grand and a bit of imagination I really can't imagine that this stuff is built into e.g. camera modules for the Raspberry Pi, so probably not even that much. Imaging something is just not that hard. The hard bit is either the special paper or now the special plastic with see through bits out the other end.

Lady Demelza posted:The problem with a 'failsafe' ID card is that routine interactions are focussed on establishing that somebody has the card, not on establishing their ID. At the moment people can muddle through with utility bills and bank cards as well as passports. With a specific ID Card, it'll end up as the sort of situation where if someone gets mugged, has their house burn down, or posts their ID off to get their details updated, and they suddenly can't do anything because they don't have the one magic card. Provisional driving licences aren't always accepted as ID, for reasons that nowhere has been able to articulate. Link your card to your biometrics and every time you use it to verify your identity you get your thumbprint scanned. Makes replacing them easy as well unless you've managed to burn off your prints.

I thoroughly enjoyed all the vegan fudges I bought last month and even managed to make them last a couple of weeks. Will definitely get more in future but have already overspent on Christmas stuff so it'll have to be next year sometime. Keep up the good work though Camrath, hope your business continues to thrive!

Because what the media and idiots are terrified of at any given time almost never has any bearing on actual reality and is just a reflection of whatever stupid poo poo they've been reading or imagining or saw in a movie once.

Miftan posted:You don't need to lie to us, this is a safe space. The trick was sharing them with my daughter and only allowing her (and myself) a small square or two each day. After a while she forgot about the fudge, at which point I quietly scoffed the remainder of the bars, one per day, because when nobody's looking I'm a massive glutton.

If anyone is interested in a socialist novel (fiction but has connection to real events) set in the Welsh Valleys coal mines pre WW2 (and written in 1937)I highly recommend Cwmardy by Lewis Jones. I found it in my late father's books a couple of weeks ago and just started reading it last week, just 50 pages to go. I'll be ordering the follow up book "We Live" when I've finished this. Despite it being written over 80 years ago, it's an easy read. Wiki about the author (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lewis_Jones_(writer)) quote:Lewis Jones, writer, and political activist of the left, (28 December 1897 – 27 January 1939) was born in Clydach Vale in industrialised South Wales.[1] Pre-NHS, pre-welfare state, and somewhat pre-unions. Big Jim is a miner and his son Len can't wait to leave school and get down the mine. The book covers strikes over the mining company's attempts to cut the wages, when the police and army were sent in, Len developing as a leader and other matters of poverty. I find myself wondering how much of Lewis Jones is reflected in Len! You can read it online here: https://www.library.wales/digital-e...0%2C3732%2C3173 Available from various bookshops, too. These real life events (Tonypandy 1910) are reflected in the book: http://www.agor.org.uk/cwm/themes/events/tonypandy.asp Senghenydd pit explosion 1913 in which 439 miners were killed. https://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/waleshistory/2011/10/the_senghenydd_pit_disaster.html Jaeluni Asjil fucked around with this message at 00:32 on Dec 6, 2021 |

From what I can find out though the exit tax only applies if I have more than ~$500k in assets though? Extremely  to that

I am most familiar with the Sri Lankan terms on the matter but I'd be real shocked if we didn't have one of those with the UK. i guess the savings account thing is about reporting requirements?

Angrymog posted:Taser's are pretty impressive though, aren't they? I thought he'd be down for longer though. The moment the voltage stops the effect stops, and that's part of the problem because plod use them, like here, in completely inappropriate circumstances. The bloke was unarmed and not an active threat to anyone, even himself, but was being non-compliant, and police use them like magic wands that make people stop what they're doing and do what they're told. Mind you there's another school of thought that using them like this results in less injuries than wrestling a non-compliant person to the ground and is so actually safer, but the problem with that is a) nobody's actually bothered to quantify that and b) it only reinforces the magic wand thinking and you end up with people getting taser darts in the eye or 10,000 volts across a heart defect they didn't know they had just because a copper couldn't be bothered de-escalating.
