ThomasPaine posted:For all the problems with it iirc American Beauty was an undeniably good movie Have you watched it recently? I thought it was a masterpiece back when I was a teenager, but seeing it a few years ago it was embarrassingly terrible. I mean you’re supposed to take the plastic bag bit seriously. Also it’s hilariously dated, being about how awful it is to have a well-paying job and nice house and family. And that’s before you get to Kevin Spacey and underage boobs.

Unkempt posted:I think there was a study in India that showed people who'd had a course of Ivermectin did slighty better with Covid response, but it turned out that it was because they were the ones who didn't have gut worms because the Ivermectin had cured that. If you don't have the worms in the first place then the Ivermectin does nothing (of any use). There were quite a lot of studies from the ‘third world’ that posted impressive results for invermectim as a.covid treatment. One current theory is that those that were not actually fraudulent were based off it actually working as intended; as a people dewormer. Covid alone is a lot easier for the body to deal with than covid + parasites. Full appreciation of the irony of the situation is only reached when you realise that for these purposes, major parts of the USA count as 3rd world countries: So going to the vet to get some horse dewormer comes worryingly close to being an entirely rationally-justified move. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK62495/

I saw it in the cinema with my friends when it came out and even though we'd all been primed to think that it was a Very Important Movie and totally Art and everything, we all lost it at that fuckin bag. I nearly hyperventilated.

Yeah, Duffield getting re-elected would need students to come out in force and campaign for someone they despise. I assume her 'meeting' is to persuade the party to find her a safe seat to get parachuted into.

it's basically impossible to watch any sport in this country without being bombarded by 10 variations on "look how much fun these people are having, you'd enjoy this event even more if you had money on it, why don't you put a bet on, a little one can't hurt" and then they flash the Gamble Aware logo up for about half a second it's loving insidious

I forget which gambling ads it is but it goes on something like 'community feel' 'family atmosphere' and so on and shows a bunch of gamblers all sat in one big room chatting, painting, and so on. I mean, does this actually happen ANYWHERE? My (very few) forays into a bookies in my wild youth (won £17 following a £1.09 bet (9p tax upfront) on Seapigeon at 17:1 antepost when I was about 18 - my first ever bet.), they're miserable places where people stand in silence with their little biros pouring over 'form' on the back of the Racing Post. And as for 'amusement arcades' all those noisy machines - soulless.

NotJustANumber99 posted:not necessarily a bad thing Indeed not, when it's you posting, but there are plenty of things to be discussed here and we frequently learn about them first from tweets. The responses of elected politicians almost always come to us that way. Jaeluni Asjil posted:I forget which gambling ads it is but it goes on something like 'community feel' 'family atmosphere' and so on and shows a bunch of gamblers all sat in one big room chatting, painting, and so on. I mean, does this actually happen ANYWHERE? How do you make fifty OAPs say "gently caress"? Shout "HOUSE!" Gambling is never convivial because it's a zero sum game. Whenever you win, you're inevitably winning the money from some other poor bastard who needed the win just as much as you. If it were otherwise then bookies couldn't stay in business.

I've never been in a bookies because i've never betted because a constant certainty of the inevitability of loss makes me the cheery soul I am and insulates me from the desire to gamble in equal measure, but I imagine that that is the point of bingo? lots of old grannies getting together and socializing while gambling and possibly a bit of ripping each other to shreds if my secondhand stories of it from my grandmother are to be believed.

I wonder how much support Rosie Duffield gave to other PLP members facing considerable harassment; Corbyn and Abbott spring to mind. And I can bet your bottom dollar that Corbyn would have been one of the few to offer support though she probably cold-shouldered him off. (I have no evidence that ever happened, just a guess based on what people who know him - a former MP (Blairite!), and people who have worked with him have said.)

I don't watch TV so I don't clock much gambling stuff, but Ian Hislop was recently talking to a committee about MPs lobbying and he mentioned the gambling lobby being quite big at the moment and I wondered what he meant and you've just contextualised that for me so that's neat.

Everyone goes the same day(s) every week and they all know each other. But that doesn't stop it from being the most bleakly miserable community imaginable.

I mean, does this actually happen ANYWHERE? My childhood with my Dad going 'down the town' was this small room covered with newspapers on the walls. It was the local bookies, and they simply stuck up the papers so you could see the races and the odds. The man who ran it must have robbed the wages of most of the town many a time for decades back then, then he turned into a strict pious religious guy. Funny how you can do that when you are rich as poo poo.

My friends did have a bust up and one of them trooped off to wetherspoons to get properly tanked up though. Overall rating success (have not been back since).
