Potato, pasta (looks disguising, lol England), a slab of bread and a beef patty.

Pener Kropoopkin posted:The replies to Matt Yglesias on twitter were absolutely insane. There's this bizarre notion cultivated by the centrists for years now, that outlining your political intentions equates to a promise of action in government, and that not fulfilling those intentions due to an obstructionist opposition would be breaking that promise. Therefore, you should just aim low and only campaign on what you can actually expect to get done in legislature, which is gonna be some idiotic half-measure like the ACA or raising the retirement age for social security. Centrist libs just don't get politics at all. Obama had to compromise on healthcare so that he could continue to charge up his political capital and unleash an even more progressive kamehameha.

Byolante posted:Part of the amerification of the english language is criticising Australians and English for using what is only a gendered slur in the US. The only people who ever use oval office in Australia are the sort who still very much conform to traditional ideals of masculinity. It's pretty absurd to claim that it isn't a gendered insult. It's almost used exclusively to describe negative traits, even when it's not intended as an insult. We used to use 'fag/human being' in a similar context, and has fallen out of usage for obvious reasons. I imagine its usage is pretty similar over in the UK.

Byolante posted:This is hilariously wrong and I must assume you either aren't Australian, or in the off chance you are, only socialise with inner city types. I'am. It's funny how you immediately differentiate the use of the word between social groups. It's almost as if it's got some baggage and isn't used by the more educated, professional types for a reason. You'd have to be in a fairly rough place, a tradesmen, or around teenagers a lot to ever hear the word in public. You hear gently caress, or poo poo, or bullshit far more often than oval office.

rudatron posted:So in other words, tut-tutting about 'oval office' is a way for upper class people to disparage lower class people They don't disparage them because they never interact with them. I live in a traditionally immigrant/working class area, so maybe the problem is I don't live around enough white people. Tokamak has issued a correction as of 08:09 on Jul 14, 2017 |

rudatron posted:education imparts knowledge, not 'goodness', and it's extremely dangerous and arrogant to presume that more educated = better than, if only because education is a second-order signifier for class and privilege I agree with you. The OP was framing my argument as a moral failing of the lower classes, and I was pretty flippant in my reply. The word has a lot of baggage and if you are the sort of person who is interested in how you use language, you'd probably come to the conclusion that it isn't worth using.

Byolante posted:Explain why ivy leagues and oxbridge turn out an overwhelming majority of nimby neolibs then because the world as it lies kinda argues against your proposition. Its almost as if words in and of themselves have no animus and that rich, well educated neolibs know exactly how to talk woke while destroying the welfare state as is happening in Germany, the UK, the US, France and Australia to name a few. Maybe the class thing is a by product of it being a lovely word, and the ruling class has far more to gain in not using it then the average person. That doesn't reflexively make it subversive or politically powerful, it's just a lovely word. That it may or may not be an insult depending on how you use it, and that you should be careful using it to positively describe women, means that it's just not a useful word. Words fall in and out of favour all the time. In my experience I've seen the word oval office being used increasingly less.

If you are stocking up on Brexit ramen and have only ever had Japanese, Korean, or western instant noodles (if you are a real sicko), then you need to do yourself a favour and pick up a box of IndoMie Mi Goreng. Instead of a broth, you drain them and coat them in an addictive chilli and sweet soy sauce. You should be able to get them at Asian grocers or Amazon, and some supermarkets like Tesco will sell individual packets if you want to try them. If you like instant noodles but never had these, they'll change your life.

I think you have to go back to the Silent Generation to find people who think kebabs are too weird and foreign. Not a good sign for the future of your paper if you are pandering to the 75+ demographic.

Gonzo McFee posted:Nando's was certainly a twitter meme three years ago before everyone figured out you could just get spicy chicken cheaper elsewhere. About time the meme was finally killed off by eleven of the blandest fuckers all ordering the blandest meals they could. Nando's was a meme in the auspol thread back in the LF days. I can understand being impressed by it if your parents didn't expose you to a wide variety of foods. It certainly is a step up flavour wise from roast chicken with stuffing.
