Did Starmer call for a ceasefire at some scotlab event? If so he'll have the opposite position within 48 hours when he encounters the English media.

OwlFancier posted:You could make an argument of magnitude between sustained hostility and momentary instances of unkindness, but the issue there is that what I experienced was consistent momentary unkindness from everyone around me, which builds an atmosphere of sustained hostility. But the accusations weren’t about “everyone around [the person]”. Just one specific user

Escobarbarian posted:But the accusations weren’t about “everyone around [the person]”. Just one specific user The suggestion was that reading someone saying something lovely about you could be a remarkably unpleasant experience if you are already having a difficult time of things. It did not in any way suggest that a single post in isolation would make somebody kill themselves and you should read it again if you think that's what it said. It explicitly acknowledges other contributing factors and I think additionally, that it is a sign of a developed sense of empathy that somebody would feel conflicted witnessing someone being lovely towards someone else who then went on to take their own life. That's a very normal and good thing to feel. It's the sort of thing that should give anybody pause.

Escobarbarian posted:This is an insanely lovely post btw. If someone is feeling suicidally depressed some rando internet post is not going to make a difference one way or the other. Don’t be a jackass Your reasoning seems to be that if it didn't tip them over the edge, it's an unreasonable thing to be concerned or sad about. Can we at least agree that it very much is, and it's acceptable to say 'hey I wonder if that affected that person more' without it turning into accusations of accusations of murder? Yeah I'll admit I hosed up in my wording because I made an assumption. But it bothers me to see an appeal to empathy like that treat with such open disdain. And it's deeply weird to use such hyperbolic language as 'jackass' and 'insanely lovely post' over someone having the audacity to be empathetic over a sad situation.

Bobby Deluxe posted:Just since you chose to drag this back up (and in such a hyperbolic way as well!), I've tried a few times now to word a good reply about how the quote you're criticising is wondering about the effect that reading those posts would have on someone in a fragile mental state, and how even if none of those things caused a suicide, it's still lovely to say those things to someone who's open about how bad their mental health is. I truly believe that an individual’s suicidal ideation goes so much further than someone making a handful of posts being amused by someone’s privilege. Of course I am only one person but having felt those thoughts myself I cannot comprehend some rando on SA affecting them one way or the other, regardless of the person’s self-esteem at the time, and I truly think making a post suggesting it could is gross. But hey, the person who made the initial post also feels the same way, so

Lt. Danger posted:the simplest solution is to just not make nasty posts Ok so, to talk about something definitely not nasty at all (hi everyone I mostly lurk but sometimes ask stupid question, what's up): I read some article about the leasehold system in the UK recently and that poo poo is bleakly hilarious. However, the government has solemnly promised to actually do something about it to make things better. Obviously this will never happen, because have you like, seen this government... or will it? Is there any news about the leasehold reform? Apparently 1st Feb was some kind of deadline for the latest info, though I couldn't actually find this latest info anywhere. I guess the government just did gently caress all and skipped the info and the media don't give a poo poo?

Kudos, also, for playing the "I have been cancelled" card when you're literally a spokesperson for a government. That man has gumption.

Soylent Yellow posted:I'm not worried about dogs, I'm more concerned about ferrets. I've just been out for a walk, and came across an escaped ferret. Little poo poo bit the hell out of me when I picked it up. Had to walk home holding it behind the head in a deathgrip to stop it from having another chew. The little twat was practically red by the time I got it home. surprised it didn't just ooze between your fingers, that's generally how ferret anatomy works

You basically can't be in Israeli government without having an enormous reserve of bald-faced brazenness. Israeli politicians are the smuggest pieces of poo poo on earth.

If they're going to make ridiculous demands then the best option is to make equally ridiculous counterclaims, like that you will be fully happy to give all money for repairs to the local Methodist chapel because you don't recognize the legitimacy of the Anglican church. If they press it further then start accusing them of blasphemy and orangery.

One of the houses we viewed had an orangery which was quite nice. However it was also riddled with asbestos and very obviously a place an eccentric had lived in for their entire life and then died.
