CGI Stardust posted:thank you! you're a good lad/lass/other, VG As VideoGames is clearly a pink blob from Planet Popstar and I'll hear no contradictory evidence, I looked up what Kirby's official gender is (localised male, but not specified in Japan) and found this very useful diagram on Wikipedia  thanks, wikipedia. this has nothing to do with UK politics but i feel this information is important for all.

Barry Foster posted:I thought I'd feel really bad about this election and I'm still sensibly pessimistic but I'm surprised and pleased to find how much it's put wind in my sails. I'm a strange mixture of hopeful that some things might go well, excited about the Absolute Scenes that will inevitably come from an election process, exhausted in advance of having to sit through actual campaigning, and dreading the possibility that those predictions might be true about the tories going big against trans people to get the culture war vote energised, that's going to be fun, and mostly just trying not to think about what happens if the tories get a majority for the sake of my general sanity

Come to think of it, it might be a good idea for the OP to contain a general reminder to keep good care of your own mental health as a top priority. The election period is going to be stressful for a lot of people and it can often feel like you're obliged to pay attention to all the bad stuff that's happening and go above and beyond your own capacity for doing stuff to help, but wearing yourself out and ruining your own mental health isn't actually a good thing to do or to aim for. it's okay to switch off for a while and come back stronger. something along those lines, maybe put some numbers to helpines, even.

in terms of their intentions at least, the lib dem membership is probably self-selected for people not keen on the argument that third parties should stand down and let the bigger two fight it out. i'd imagine they have a few chips on their shoulder about that sort of thing.

Guavanaut posted:Could someone write something for this, I don't know any of the good numbers and the Establishment NHS frowns upon my personal thoughts. Ok here's my synthesis of mine and Tigey's posts. (also lol at that kelly edit i made ages ago coming back to haunt me and still being relevant after all these years. though i guess the party being referred to in the leftmost cloud has changed somewhat.) Those in the know let me know all if there's anything needs added/taken away, i'm not a mental health professional so most of this advice is second hand: Hi everyone! In these wild times please remember to take good care of your own mental health. This election period is going to be an absolute emotional rollercoaster, regardless of the result. There is so much at stake, both generally in the country and personally for many of us, and there are bound to be further massive highs and depressing lows as the election carries on. There will be no shortage of things happening and people saying things and stuff you could be thinking about or potentially doing to help. There will be no shortage of tedious arguments where people speak past each other or wild brawls where people accuse each other of being responsible for society's ills. In all of this it can often feel like you're obliged to pay attention to all of the stuff going on. It can often feel like you have to exhaust yourself in order to dedicate every last drop of energy you have towards the election. There may well be times when you find yourself unable to think about anything else, constantly refreshing livefeeds or searching out new horrible things that you know will make you angry or sad and that there is nothing you can do about. This isn't healthy - don't do it. Please make sure you are taking enough time away from politics over the next few weeks to avoid damage to your own emotional wellbeing/mental health. It's good for you, and even if you don't care about yourself it's good for those around you as well. Whatever happens we're all going to need people who care about stuff, and we're going to need a good chunk of those people to be able to get up in the morning. If you're feeling overwhelmed or need someone to talk to, there are details of helplines you can call here, here and here.

And I live in Scotland, where we do always thank the bus driver torn by the new edinburgh buses with the separate doors for leaving, slightly more efficient but also makes it difficult to thank the driver without shouting across the length of the bus, and it just doesn't do to make a scene now does it, what would society think

What's this guy's plan to stop hospital parking being a "subsidy on the rich"? An elaborate means-testing office attached to every hospital parking lot determining whether you're poor enough to get free parking?Jedit posted:I'm not sure this is the place to say that LGBs aren't human and are also trans exclusionary, but you do you. I can see how their post would be confusing if you haven't been following twitter drama, but "the LGB Alliance" they refer to is a specific organisation that sprung up the other week with a twitter account and glowing articles in the press. it's a tiny organisation whose entire purpose is bashing trans people and represents the actual population of lesbians, gays and bisexuals about as much as The Taxpayer's Alliance represents all people who have ever paid a tax. probably worse

Like, I definitely agree that public transport to hospitals should be a big priority (along with public transport everywhere), but it is in fact possible to care about two things at once (e: this was a response to the guy's article where he says that, not Lightning Knight)ronya posted:A leak: I love "Q. Donations from X?".

I think the debates should be a big mess of all the parties all yelling at each other. I say this because I think televised leadership debates are bad in the first place so they might as well go all the way Really as much as Swinson is silly I don't really like the way that what happens in the debates is dependent on what the big parties want to happen. if we're going to have debates, if we really loving have to, then the parties should be dragged kicking and screaming into having them against their will

goddamnedtwisto posted:There's no way the Barclays will get 100m for the Torygraph, its circulation is (literally) dying and it's long been replaced by the Times as the Tory house rag so it doesn't even have the shortcut to power that it had when they bought it (and completely hosed up the sports coverage, which was - seriously - how it had fended off the Times for so long). They also pissed the massive lead it had in online news down their legs. Even so I'm sure he could have laid his hands on the money "somehow", but I think you're right about it being just him keeping his massive sweaty slab of a face in the media now he's fallen out of favour.

I feel like every time a political party finds a single poll that says that those surveyed think somewhat highly of the leader they decide to turn up the Cult Of Personality dial to maximum. No possible ways this could backfire this time, clearly the public madly love this one individual unconditionally and forever. On a related note, i'm waiting to see what angle Ruth Davidson's Scottish Conservative Ruth Davidson Party go with now that she's gone. She was their whole campaign for years.
