HerpicleOmnicron5 posted:I mean, yes you get to vote however, just as you technically can choose to play a shooter by only moving, not aiming with the other stick. It’s valid input, but it’s not how the system is actually meant to work, and is the least useful thing to do for your constituency. pretty sure the best thing for my constituency is to have a Labour government

Superterranean posted:OK so - free parking works well until people abuse it. There are lots of other things that work the same way; the mugs and coffee pot in the break room, for example. I disagree with your initial premise who exactly is "abusing" free hospital parking? it's not like they're tourist attractions, generally people who are going to a hospital are doing it because they actually need to

namesake posted:There is an issue where hospitals are well located for other non hospital related things and people just use it as free parking rather than hospital parking. every hospital I've ever been to has been in the arse end of nowhere but I suppose that makes sense have a system that requires a ticket to exit and have them given out at reception desks inside the hospital having to lie through their teeth to get their 2 hours free parking would put off a lot of people

also at the peak weren't there problems like it took hours to actually cash out a single bitcoin? so even if your hoard is worth £1 million on paper (well, as much as paperless currency can have a value on paper) actually exchanging them for that value of currency was basically impossible

Unkempt posted:Actually looking at the last results holy crap she's got a massive majority now, it was close to a 3-way marginal last time I voted there. gently caress it, jam it is! I think you'd be safe voting Labour. Minimal support for BXP, Tory support seems unlikely to gain much in such a Remain constituency and the LDs probably aren't going to be running a candidate, so your worst-case scenario is the Greens keeping the seat and best-case is it flipping to Labour.

My cat, meanwhile, is desperate to go out so he can see what all the noise is about. my cat is 100% unbothered by the fireworks when he's indoors but he keeps wanting to go outside then thinking better of it when he's actually presented with the opportunity and it's a lot louder and closer

I figured during election time this would be less common, but I guess comedy shows aren’t subject to the same rules? my parents were watching HIGNFY last night and literally the first joke was "Jeremy Corbyn's Brexit plan is complicated lol" after which I gave up in disgust (also Helen Lewis was on who's a massive terf I believe? unless I'm messing up my Helens)
