Thank you. Sincerely. I have to admit I felt pretty hurt/ashamed when all that went down last week, but I genuinely appreciate it

Absolutely no need to feel ashamed or anything mate. I think you were being realistic but I can understand that being too negative ITT (even if it's based on reasonable assumptions) can make some people anxious. I sometimes have to dial it back a bit in terms of being too doompilled re: covid and climate change stuff.

Edit:

Seen some people have been making cheese. I made ricotta recently, because I forgot to buy any and I'd already started cooking an already fairly involved meal so thought "gently caress it, I have cream and milk and citric acid, I'll make some". Was fun, and turned out well. Also, if you do make cheese, save the whey liquid and use it in soup - adds a nice, slightly tangy flavour (it's used by lots of commercial soup makers including Campbell's in some of their recipes).

Corgis love bread. And Puro


Well, I'm content. Cards all sent off, presents all bought, just need a delivery to arrive at the weekend & I can batten down the hatches & not leave the house except to go to the grocery shop & for my booster next Wednesday.

15 year old me is amazed I could possibly be this organised. Actually now I think about it, 27 year old me would be pretty impressed too because I have horrible memories of going shopping on Buchanan Street on Christmas Eve an hour or so before I got the train north to Inverness to spend time with the folks.

Do we have any gin drinkers? Coz I know gently caress all about it but ended up getting a bottle of Ben Lomond. Is it any good or will my sister curse me for my poor taste?

Bored in work today I was browsing books on Amazon and gently caress me there is a huge industry in people writing books about how "the left" has lost its way and how "wokeism" is destroying the western world. I read the blurbs and reviews and it seems most of them were written after the author spent a handful of days on twitter. Saw noting in the other direction.

"The woke left can't tell the difference between their online echo chambers and reality," I write, citing exclusively tweets about the 69 genders from accounts with a dozen tweets, 6 followers (all with Pepe/maga avs) and "hard left, pro-Corbyn anti-Semites, pronouns fe/fi/fo/fum" in their bio.

Maybe, there were a mix of British and U.S. books. Books like The Madness of Crowds and some American book complaining about how PC culture was uprooting the western world through its roots in post modern neo Marixism.

I think it's something like that and watching debate bros go at it. When I think of being PC I just want good wheelchair access for everyone.

0.000% of Communism has been built. Evil child-murdering billionaires still rule the world with a shit-eating grin. All he has managed to do is make himself *sad*. It has, however, made him into a very, very smart boy with something like a university degree in Truth. Instead of building Communism, he now builds a precise model of this grotesque, duplicitous world.
Nice of the chancellor to fly back and eat at literally every restaurant to keep the sector afloat.

Well, I have not had any Ben Lomond, but if I am at all representative of gin drinkers, anything vaguely ginlike is fine once there's lemon and tonic in it.

My mother drinks a lot of gin and she will drink anything with alcohol in it, so this is also my impression of gin drinkers because gin is utterly disgusting as far as I am concerned :v:

The explosion in recent years (figurative rather than literal) of gin production really always puts me in mind of the old woodcuts because it all tastes absolutely horrible and I can only conceive of drinking it out of desperation.

As Dylan Moran said, gin isn't a drink, it's internal mascara remover.

Freshly publicised guidance/restrictions for Wales, if anybody's interested.

Seems as sensible as it's possible to realistically get at this point, given we seem to be in a situation (across the UK) of 'we're never going back to full lockdowns even though we probably should be strongly considering it'.

It doesn't mention pubs as such but we are assuming we'll be going back to seated only/table service etc. Rule of six possibly

Though if cases keep rising as they are a last minute Xmas cancel like last time wouldn't surprise me

Surely you should be wanking before you get Covid in that case. Just wanking all the time. Helps with social distancing too.

Zinc is actually the cure for covid, and you're saying people should just squirt it out of their body? GLOBALIST!
