Since it was payday yesterday, I got myself a wee treat from "Tantrum Doughnuts" on my lunch break, it was great.

Tantrum owns and is a pro rec for Glasgow goons looking to gain diabetes with a smile on their face.

Definitely not with Brexit on the horizon. Leave the scarce supplies of insulin for those who already need them.

I’ve got some weird congenital hypoglycaemia thing that gives me all the joys of a hypo and the excuse to ram a multipack of mars bars down my gullet as the cure. By all rights I should have got diabetes years ago but I think my hosed up metabolism has prevented it from being a possibility.

When the sugar supplies start running low is the point I really need to panic about it.

No mate, that's just not how any of it works and it's incredibly frustrating to see people continue to make these kind of dumbass lazy jokes. It's a pet peeve of mine sure, but this kind of talk directly encourages a lot of the poo poo that gets thrown at people with diabetes, particularly those with type 2.

Im not making a joke, my lifestyle is a prime candidacy for developing diabetes based on likely factors of cause.

I’m fully aware that there’s loads of reasons people can develop diabetes and it’s not all just “you’re a fat”, but it is one route to increasing the likelihood.

Sorry if I’ve came across as flippant about it, I know what a hypo is like and I know how debilitating it can be, so I’m only speaking from a position of someone who understands going through that poo poo and copes with it fairly regularly.

I would be up for editing a UKMT podcast if such a thing ever came about, I enjoyed editing the radio pieces I did in college when I was training to be a hack until my conscience pointed out they were almost universally cunts.

I also second the “do a couple of unrecorded dry run chats” first just so we can all get used to each other’s voices. I could especially do with that if I’m going to be editing and hearing all of your voices forty times before punting out a finished product.

it's just a bit skeevy to sexualise her as a way of mocking her - the right does it a lot, whenever some woman speaks out about something, a common thing they do is photoshop her performing sex acts or being violated, as a way to humiliate women and assert dominance over them. When AOC was visiting those camps, there was a huge social media group for border guards that got exposed, and that kind of stuff was being posted in there (as well as, like, calls for a guard to assault her and they'd crowdfund a reward)

I know you were going for more of a silly joke, but it's still not the kind of thing you want to do because it's still objectifying her, y'know? I'd go with lengthening the awkward awkward pauses (especially if you can find frames that link perfectly so you can't see the jump) or just "I've been in Beijing, opening new pork markets! *applause* THAT IS A DISGRACE"

e- I've been in Yorkshire! THAT IS A DISGRACE shoutout to owlfancier

The awkward pauses were absolutely the best bit of the whole things. It’s what makes the Mike Gapes CUK announcement video so good.

I don't mean over my head like it's not meant for men. I mean over my head like I'm not academically inclined and I don't really have a great model or history of gender politics in my skull nor a great educational background to give me the the tools I'd need to acquire that. I'm very intimidated when I start to poke into something that turns out to require a lot of knowledge not to mess up, because I don't read an awful lot of books and I guess it's starting to show. Even socialism scares me because I know that it won't be long before people are pulling out names I won't even try to read.

For example I asked another thread for the most basic book they know that gives a breakdown of trans issues. I bought it and within ten pages I'm already at "this is a lot of big words for one sentence. What does this even mean?" This is a book that was described as "trans 101" and it may as well be a doctoral thesis when viewed through my eyes. I don't ask for things to be explained to me any more for two reasons. 1. It's not fair to burden the people who know this stuff or even who live this stuff with having to dumb it down for dipshits. 2. I don't feel like I have much hope of absorbing the theory of these issues anyway. It's why my approach is "what do I do?" not "what's the theory behind this?"

I find that’s the beauty of this thread, posters with a good knowledge of a subject are able to break poo poo from books down really drat well, and honestly I wouldn’t feel half as comfortable talking about ideas like socialism without reading what I have here over the years.

I’m only just starting on Capitalist Realism, and I’d recommend Mark Fishers stuff if you’re wanting some critique on capitalism that is pretty easy for the novice reader, god knows I’m a dumbass and it’s easy enough for me.

UK accents form a spectrum, from incomprehensible shouting at cows and horses (white) to incomprehensible shouting at sheep and pigs (dark brown). In the middle region, communication occurs, mostly via posh booing noises.

Literally two paragraphs out of 32 relate to Corbyn. More of that article is about Salmond's upcoming trial for attempted rape and sexual assault.

Of course being as intelligent as any other nationalist Sturgeon thinks that the second half of next year is a good time for Indyref 2. Just in time to coincide with either the trial or the verdict.

Seems like a great time for her to push it, keeps the SNP sexual assault scandal buried.

Obviously this is something that you strongly and passionately believe; that a majority of potential voters want hard Brexit so badly that they would give up the NHS, rail and bus services, bin collection, and probably inside toliets.

Note that in order to believe that, you have to ignore all polling data, not only the public stuff from a variety of companies but also internal Labour polling. You have to ignore the result of real elections, bye elections, local elections, and what people say on the doorstop when you go out canvassing.

Now, taken one by one, there are no doubt good reasons to be skeptical of each of those. But what is missing is any positive reason to bet the future of the part and country against the weight of all that evidence

If you have some stone tablets inscribed with the word of god as to how people would vote given an active Labour ‘better than Brexit’ election campaign, please share a photo.
