Jippa posted:"In the UK, Google says it is seeing a clear increase in activity despite the fact that the country's lockdown measures have not been relaxed. if that's true then what's even the point in extending the lockdown? Clearly we can't hack it, and it's not like the government will make things more restrictive

yeah, you're right, my mind kind of glazed over the whole 'parks' thing, of course that's to be expected but the government are definitely still half-arsing this EDIT I really wasn't trying to actually argue for ending the lockdown - as my recent posts will attest - it was more of a rhetorical 'if this isn't working, what do?' question. But it seems it is working, or at least people are sticking to it Apologies all

Angepain posted:The Balcony Wars are apparently hotting up in my friend's flat, here's the story she told me: she was having a phone call out on the balcony when the neighbour started playing loud music when she was talking, speakers right at her, turning off when she stopped talking, for like fifteen minutes or so. on eventually confronting this woman to ask if she had a problem the response was first a "are you talking to me?" and then a "of course I don't want to hear you talking for hours". on being asked why she did not just use her words to communicate this issue, the response was apparently, how can I talk to you when you've put this barrier between us, referring to the planter on the edge of the balcony. this country really needs to figure out a way of dealing with disagreements other than the usual methods of mild tutting and passive aggression that's what the hedge trimmers are for

Not 5 hours, -5. think you read it wrong? If he goes to bed at 8:20 AM and gets up at 3 PM that's six hours 40 minutes sleep which isn't a lot, but to be fair, that's a lot of cocaine Barry Foster fucked around with this message at 13:19 on May 4, 2020 |

justcola posted:Back then it was weed, now we're all smoking super skunk and having gay cyber sex over zoom meetings whilst working from home. Boomers are jealous. non-weeders don't seem to get that other than with edibles it's self-titrating. If it takes you two hits to get the level you wanted to get to instead of ten, then that's better for your lungs and better all round. It's not like drinking a bottle of whiskey in one go I will say that the tendency to breed 0% CBD strains isn't great, but that's a function of prohibition

The Question IRL posted:Isn't there a problem with THC levels and the effect it can have on people developing early onset psychosis? there does seem to be a link in the vulnerable, yeah, but I'd guess that if modern weed does contribute more to the issue it's just that it makes it easier to get high, so then you might get high more often. Having to blow through half a gram of ditch weed isn't nearly as fun as having a couple of hits and getting on with whatever you were doing, so you'll be tempted to do it more often. But THC is THC, y'know? I'm not one for hyper strong super skunk myself, but it's again an issue with prohibition. My ideal A Weed would be 15-20% CBD and 15-20% THC, terpenes and secondary cannabinoids to taste, which is unfortunately not the way (black) market forces are currently pushing it

I actually had a bunch of surgical masks from ages ago from when I used to ride the National Express once a week, which would make me sick literally every single time I only use 'em when I'm inside, though, and that's only once every ten days or so. Don't see any point in wasting my dwindling supplies on it when I'm outdoors

Answers Me posted:Four and half years away from an election, they've gone mask off already. Johnson-Cummings doing what they like. Despite me having my eyes open the whole time (it's basically London Mayor Johnson up to 11), I'm pretty worried about the road this is heading down. Someone on Twitter called it Eton–Orbanism and that sounds about right. the plan is pretty clearly to do away with 'the blob' and institute absolute autocracy, yeah it's pretty hosed up, and I think this is going to be a litmus test as to whether we really will put up with a permanent one party/one man state

Drone_Fragger posted:Fundamentally he thinks his circumstances are completely unique and exceptional and no one else could possibly have themselves and their wife Ill while having an ill child, and that gives him the right to take the absolute piss with the rules. I do think that he'll be able to brazen it out precisely because of this, though. He genuinely believes he is of a different order to everyone else, and if he repeats it enough I can totally see people accepting it
