Now I think about it (i.e. have second thoughts and frantically scan wikipedia) it's actually a different fungus I'm thinking of that specifically can grow on milled flour (as opposed to growing on the unmilled cereal as the one that causes ergotism does), but buggered if I can remember what it's called now.

Mega Comrade posted:Any chance the dogs are barking while you are out? Thanks, I actually WFH on a telephony based occupation, so there is no barking at all during the day. They're really well behaved. They bark in the morning, which is the only time they will make noise, and around 7am, which may be unpalatable to anyone trying to snooze. I'm up as soon as I hear it to let them out. Thanks for the tips though - we recently took in a pup, and she's fairly vocal for her age (wouldn't say she was generating a appreciable amount of decibels) - so I'll be focusing on training her to be quiet. The other two are trained, Leon would bark at people approaching the house - but that's why I have him!

Anyone got any idea whether this increase in NI threshold by £3k means more lower paid people will not be getting NI contributions towards state pension made (whether actual contributions or 'ticks in the box' depending what their pay is.

As a response to the Will Smith thing. It is interesting that some people dont like seeing violence unless it has gone through an intermediary of some description,or how violence is only acceptable if its done by professionals.

isn't that true though? violence is fine in certain mediums or if done by 'professionals', boxers or UFC fighters or HEMA folks or whatever. As long as you have consenting participants then have at it.

Personally I don't know how to feel about what the correct level of violence should be. But I just find it really interesting how the way in which we see violence and do not consider it as such can change when it is being done by "unalloyed" folks. Like I personally do not know how to reconcile my distaste for warfare and the fact that I feel that violence can be used in a good way.

The GBS oscars thread has a bit midway through where 2 or 3 people start getting into what leftists think of violence but for the most part the rest of the thread is thankfully just taking the piss out of them for the weird, unrelated tangent.

If there's another complaint, then hopefully you'll have the day recorded, but even if you don't you'll have an established pattern that your dogs don't bark (or you'll be horrified to find out they do, the moment you leave the house). quote:Slapfight Rock was in the wrong for making a joke about someone's medical condition at an event that is supposed to be a celebration and not some edgy dark comedy roast special.

And the Academy is in the wrong for suggesting they might remove Smith's Oscar because they sure as hell didn't previously have a problem with handing them out to physically and sexually abusive men.

Yeah, its scary having someone turn up and say they're gonna take your dog so I get the hesitancy. But really wtf? Like where is your evidence, who the gently caress are you? Good luck loving proving any of this poo poo, get the gently caress out of here. tell them a cat did it.

Josef bugman posted:As a response to the Will Smith thing. It is interesting that some people dont like seeing violence unless it has gone through an intermediary of some description,or how violence is only acceptable if its done by professionals. The thing that strikes me is that a lot of people seem to have a... strangely absolutist stance on it? Like ultimately chris rock was talking poo poo about smith's wife and smith (presumably being fond of his wife) slapped him for it. Which, to me seems fine? But a lot of people seem to be trying to wind it into an argument about violence by different people in different situations where I don't really think it applies? If I was talking poo poo about someone then getting a belt for it is just... in the range of things I think I should expect to happen? More severe violence I might take issue with but an ultimately harmless but shockling and presumably painful slap is like... ok fair enough I see your point. Ultimately that seems like a fairly agreeable resolution to the situation? As you say presumably they would not have an issue with the cops arresting a guy which is significantly more violent, or the judicial system generally. Or even the implicit violence of power dynamics in society, but just a smack on the gob is very concerning? I dunno, between two adults and not as a part of like an established relationship dynamic I just don't know if I could really raise a coherent objection to it? It seems extraordinarily tame given the amount of violence in society and particularly the kinds of it you more commonly encounter? Honest, almost. Like if someone was making fat jokes about my girlfriend I think that smacking them would probably be a good thing to do? Not necessarily the best thing but certainly not a bad thing, because I know those hurt her a lot and I also know people who make them won't stop without correction. That seems like an expedient form of correction, and better than just letting it slide? Why should other people have to suffer so that some rear end in a top hat can make jokes?

I was so shocked the thought didn't cross my mind. Been kicking myself over it too. They advised I would get a letter. I'm curious if that would have any actionable information on it. Just would be helpful to know where I can focus my efforts. I've lived here eight years and it's the first noise complaint I've ever received.

I had a neighbour that played thumping loud music at night and getting them to shut the gently caress up and/or be kicked out (they refused the former, so ended up with the latter) was a herculean struggle required the combined efforts of several neighbours and endless pestering of the council. The idea that a council - even after proving you were the source of the noise - could even look at your dog let alone take it is beyond laughable to me. You are pretty much invulnerable so try not to worry about it.

Men who hit other men to "defend" their wife/ girlfriend's honour generally see their partner as property and an extension of themselves. It's their own ego that's been hurt. They have chosen this woman as theirs, you criticise or disrespect that woman, therefore you're criticising their taste. The woman is never asked if she wants or needs defending, or even whether she wants to do so herself. The Smiths have an open marriage, which weirdly means Will Smith is angry that his wife's name was in Chris Rick's mouth but would have been fine with her pussy in his mouth.

I mean... yes that is entirely consistent, because one of those is a nice thing to do for somebody and one of them is not. I don't think being angry that people are cruel to people you like means you think you own them?

There's 'insulting someone's wife' and there's 'mocking someone's debilitating condition' and I think it's worth noting there's a difference there, even if the choice of Smith to choose violence isn't necessarily justified. Acting like this is purely a 'my property' angle suggests that Smith could only be angry that his property was diminished rather than the emotional flash one might have when someone suffering from a horrible condition, that they empathise with on a daily basis, is made light of in front of a large audience. Yes, he was not right to be violent, and yet it's simplistic to say that having an emotional reaction is of itself toxic.
