Pistol_Pete posted:It's a shocking story - heavens knows how many people she's hurt with her lies. Including herself. Severing her own finger with a claw hammer just so she could create an entirely fictional web of abusers? Christ. Definitely something deeply wrong up top there. One detail was that she was a daughter of a local Labour councillor. I wonder if that helped give her a bigger platform?

Got a 5 day course of 500mg tablets, by day 3 the diarrhoea had kicked in and i was sleeping as close to the toilet as possible, if you thing you are going to fart... it's never going to be a fart.

Amoxicillin has never had that effect on me! I used it a lot in Cairo because you could just go in the pharmacy and buy it and it was far & away the cheapest antibiotic around. Also, if you are abroad and there are no specialist pet meds, one 500g amoxicillin is a week's worth of antibiotic for a medium - large cat - dividing it up into 10 doses was fun! (Stuff we had to find out!)

I continue to be perplexed by Sameera Khan, former OK-ish left-wing pundit who campaigned for Sanders back in 2016. She's been on quite a journey from there, first going full terminally online Lion of Syria tankie before apparently ditching any pretense of being on the left at all to become a full on reactionary who's completely uncritically pro-Russian invasion of Ukraine and hero worships both Putin and Ramzan bloody Kadyrov. Currently big into Islamic conservatism, constantly posting about how traditional gender roles are great and LGTBQ+ is the worst and actually the Taliban are a great bunch of lads and the rest of it. Anyway, she's on record saying pornography and sex work is inherently evil and that not just adulterers but consenting people who take a somewhat liberal approach to sexual relationships are essentially degenerates. Apparently finds no contradiction however in openly stanning for Andrew Tate, famous currently imprisoned sex trafficker and almost certain rapist. Please make these people make sense, you'd think they could at least try to be consistent. Absolutely can't take anything she says seriously at all, but I really would like to know how a person ends up like this. https://twitter.com/SameeraKhan/status/1610461339280973825?t=cxzYPPW1LBy0tE9lB1FNqw&s=19

It's what gets people stanning for neo-Nazi warcrimes LLC Wagner on the basis of them fighting French neocolonialism in West Africa. French neocolonialism in West Africa is definitely a very bad thing, but loving Wagner. It's like whataboutism but with the saturation turned up to maximum, where "you oppose the invasion of Ukraine and yet invaded Iraq" gets applied to a pre-existing template of good guys and bad guys. I guess the opposite end of that would be opposing Ramzan Kadyrov but only on the prior basis of him being a Muslim or something equally stupid.

It's totally possible for someone on the US left to be broadly critical of left-liberalism and even argue that stuff like the Russia-Ukraine conflict is more complex than a simple heroes/villains binary, but she's just jumped head first into bizarre quasi-fash bullshit that's just as absurd as the neocon stuff she used to poo poo on, and how does someone so apparently now keen on conservative family values get openly enamoured with a sex-trafficker? You'd think you'd realise something had shifted when the only people agreeing with you on Twitter are the weirdo anime/marble statue profile pic brigade.

Antiobiotics ravage the gut flora, and this presents as making GBS threads yourself incessantly. Live yoghurts, fermented stuff, all that helps rebuild the gut flora. But there’s recent research that suggests it could take years to get the diversity back. Antibiotics are an _insanely_ blunt instrument, effective though they may be.

Judging by what you've written it sounds like she's gone all in on women being utterly subservient to men. So no sexual liberation, anyone who enables that is also bad, and anything perpetrated by a strongman archetype like Putin or Tate is fine.

Guavanaut posted:The Only Real Horseshoe Theory It is genuinely quite disconcerting to me how many openly fascist anime profile pic accounts there are on twitter, just happily posting about how yes the holocaust was real and it was good actually. For my own sanity I choose to believe they're primarily 15 year old edgelords but in truth I think a lot of them are probably very unassuming mid-30s people you'd never suspect.

David Pakman (of soft American left fame) has openly spoken about how the same kind of cunts who fund Tufton street here approached him years ago and offered him an eye-watering amount of money to slowly "leave the left" for becoming too unreasonable. He turned the offer down but said he's aware of other people he knew who were contacted but didn't say who necessarily but said it's worth keeping in mind whenever you wonder why supposedly left-leaning commentators shift so much and often surprisingly quickly.

That's usually how you 'leave the left' to become a Tory council member or Spiked contrarian. Once you fully linehan yourself there's something else. Maybe just 'being very bad at doing the first thing'.

Do you remember the Ribena 'scare' of the 80s? It was being promoted as being a wonder drink for kids, then it came out how it was rotting their teeth. I remember pictures of kids who drank it and their rotten teeth everywhere Another weird thing, Lucozade was only sold in chemists/pharmacies upto the late 70s.

Tesseraction posted:I believe it's pro-rata. Yeah. Much as I would love to believe right wing billionaire types are stupid enough to just give a left wing pundit hundreds of millions of dollars just on good faith that they'll turn right wing, I imagine this sort of corruption is a common enough practice by now that there's channels for that kind of bribery that don't make it so easy to just take the money and run. Offers of employment, payment in installments etc. Otherwise we'd probably see a lot more pundits on the left just take the money and then immediately publish how the bribe went down.
