Oh but don’t you see affluenza is a terrible illness that leaves them unable to cope with such extremity. Switching to the low-thread count sheets alone will cause their skin to simply slough off, and how fair is that?

Did she ever come clean about what the gently caress that was really all about or did she stick with her original bullshit story until the bitter end.

I think she probably told the truth and was like drunk as gently caress and doesn’t want to admit it.

For what it's worth, I, an early 30s person get political research calls from Populous on my mobile (and don't have a landline). Then again AFAIK they're one of the good ones.

Yes, despite what the internet thinks, mobile phones get called, too. In part because some of these dialers work by using a list of auto generated phone numbers, not actually a list from someplace.

Anyway I know it’s not new but I just came across this pasture of May and feel, much like the photo after Bojo’s parliamentary loss, it’s probably her most common expression when she reads the news.

I know it’s reddit but a pharmacist is doing a slow AMA on his thoughts of brexits impact on meds:

quote:

We are already seeing problems across the board. HRT is difficult in particular. I gather there has been a lot of insulin fridge storage prepared in advance which should help. My advice is not to panic and stockpile. If we do that there will be big problems, just don't leave it to the last minute to get your prescriptions. Reorder at least 7-10 days in advance and accept some things may need to be changed.

Every bourbon I have tried so far has a strong vanilla extract taste, is that by design?

It’s part of the process, anyway. Vanillin present in oak can be transferred as part of the barrel aging process. Combined with its sweetness and it really comes out in some varieties.

It's more that I think the yank mentality of "everyone needs to be armed to the teeth and ready to murder each other at a moment's notice because that's FREEDOM" sounds insane over here. It's not specifically the idea of banning guns but like, the idea that maximum murder capacity shouldn't be the basis of society, which I do think is a left/right split.

It's also worth pointing out within the larger context of the spread of right-wing ideologies, that this reconceptualizing the second amendment and gun worship is very modern and a successful invention of conservatives wanting to expand their power base. Not that there can't also be a fundamental disagreement on the issue between the two countries, but that a generation of conservative marketing is pretty powerful.

The latter. Sir Bernard Jenkin is accusing him of favouring the other side of the house and says he's forming a committee to investigate the role of the speaker, right now.

He's stepping down as speaker but what about his MP seat?

He'll go back to the Tory benches unless he immediately leaves the party lol.

Ah I thought it was both after the party let it out that they'd be challenging him (but that was obviously before he announced he'd be stepping down).

While there's a couple extremely rare congenital conditions that can make part of a human brain smooth I always assumed the term stemmed from the fact that reptiles and birds don't have brain folds.

I feel like it’s more likely an artifact of a belief that more wrinkles = smarter, and not anything more complicated.

Guavanaut posted:

Yeah all the conditions that cause brain smoothness in humans are generally fatal during infancy.

It's probably one of the few ways of calling someone a loving idiot moron cretin terrible thinker that isn't rooted in some old ablism.

Agreed.

Reminds me of Trump visiting the Holocauast memorial in Israel and writing in the book basically "Wow! Cool poo poo - bigly interesting!!!" which people contrasted Obama's message talking about the darkness of history and the light of hope that those who survived could build anew.

This is the lens by which he understands literally anything. He’s never bothered going beyond his real estate grifts. Any transaction is judged by its ‘dealiness’ quotient. Any physical place is judged by size or surface complexity.

On top of that guaranteeing a...no-no-deal...would probably enflame BPers more than they already are as regards pushing back the date.

Brexit party lot were hating this deal and know it’s still an option come Jan31st. The tories are at a much bigger loss to them come an election.

Yes, agree; I was unclear. I guess I meant that if Johnson were forced to tepidly forbid no-deal, it would make them even angrier and ratchet up the anti-tory rhetoric. Maybe they’re (BP) already at their ceiling, though.

The hope is that Farage and his followers are egomaniacs enough not to stand down and actually contest seats against Tories. That would be amazing.

I really think it would take very little to convince him it’s necessary to run it hard.
