Mebh posted:my indian sister-in-law chops up raw scotch bonnets into salad for example as she says they're "zesty" Scotch Bonnets are quite hot either way of course, but the zesty thing is true, fresh raw chillies have a more zesty citrusy flavour and less heat or spice compared to when they are cooked. Oh a snipe, there are many countries that call themselves the 51st state, they are all pathetic claims, except Puerto Rico.

NotJustANumber99 posted:Do charity donations come off the total? Wouldn't be surprised. There was a section to say if you've donated to charity. The bit that's pissing me off the most is that it's asking this that and the other thing, then stating that you should find it in the such and such section of your such and such form. It's like it's assuming everyone's on a standardised pay system (which it loving should be) when instead it's actually all loving privatised invoicing systems so no two companies have the same pay slip design/content.

Bobby Deluxe posted:If you earn less than 150k can't you just report cash? As in, you just tell them how much money came into & went out of your accounts this year? Or do you need to claim stuff back? This is for self-employed. I don't think Kin is self-employed. You have to do this sh*t if you claim child benefits/tax reliefs etc. I use cash basis for my self-employed lark, mainly because I've made a big loss over the past few years (thanks, Covid) so I can offset self-employed earnings in the current year - beginning to pick up again - against previous years' losses. If I went the £1000 route, I wouldn't be able to do that (and I've now exceeded the £1k anyway for this current tax year). Jaeluni Asjil fucked around with this message at 22:50 on Dec 16, 2023 |

I'm in the unfortunate position of earning just over the salary threshold at my job while claiming child benefits.

Any other leader etc. https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2023/dec/16/labour-lead-slips-to-13-points-poll-nhs-priority-sunak-rwanda quote:Labour’s lead over the Conservatives is now at 13 points, the lowest since before the party conferences, according to the latest Opinium poll for the Observer. Meanwhile in Palestine: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/dec/16/idf-says-hostages-it-killed-were-bare-chested-and-waving-white-flag IDF killed 3 hostages who were bare chested and waving white flag. Which goes to show they have a shoot to kill policy and having mistaken the hostages for Palestinians killed them. Jaeluni Asjil fucked around with this message at 23:51 on Dec 16, 2023 |

In fact it probably just reinforces your point about state of democracy even more, just from another angle

"The end of Hamas" is also complete bullshit. Bombing Gaza into oblivion and turning a blind eye to violence in the West Bank is going to do wonders for Hamas' long-term recruitment. Which I suspect is the point. There's no need to focus on fixing domestic issues as long as you still have an enemy to fight. I wonder if Netanyahu will send Putin a hamper by means of saying thanks for that message.

Apraxin posted:Haaretz article had a bit more detail in their reporting, and this one was... i can't say 'worse' than that, but even more insane, i think: they killed two of the hostages (barechested and waving a white flag) on the spot, but the third guy survived and ducked into a nearby building, obviously terrified and distressed; he yelled for help in Hebrew, poked his head out of the building and then went back in again. the IDF troops decided that this meant he was a Hamas operative trying to lure them into the building as part of a trap (?), so then they went into the building (??), hunted him down and killed him as he continued to yell for help. just complete madness. The third kill was obviously an attempt to cover it up.

Like it's kinda insulting to even debate about it. If that's the point we are at, we should abandon the idea of meaning. The IDF can just do whatever the gently caress they want forever because we can't conceptualise their actions any more with our dumb dumb brains.

It's pretty consistent with the state of barely contained terror/bravado that conflict situations often elicit. Makes you prone to assuming everyone/thing is out to get you and if you hesitate or deviate from your chosen course it will go worse for you, so you make stupid decisions and stick to them. Similar thing I think that leads to US cops killing so many people, they get told that everything is a deadly threat and they should respond to threats by killing them. The organizations that put people in those situations don't want to be seen as carting around a load of unstable murderous nutters so they invent gibberish explanations for the actions and the press doesn't want to conscience the possibility that the enforcement arms of the state are formed out of incompetent and violent idiots, so they just repeat the nonsense uncritically. At each point between you probably have a lot of refusal to acknowledge the reality of the preceding steps that got you there, lots of nonsense ideas and justifications repeated until they ring true enough to let the decision makers continue to believe they're somehow in the right.

My best guess would be global mounting pressure and Israel repeatedly failing to keeps it's word on minimising casualties, they arnt even pretending to try. Israel is even testing the USAs patience.
