Breath Ray posted:Starmer served Jezza loyally enough so it wasnt exactly a coup or a surprise considering RLB didnt have Jezza's credentials or plain speakingness. None of that is true. It's, at best, your own personal head canon, and you're a racist poo poo so gently caress off.

Its both orangey and chocolatey and the apple pie...wow. It smells divine and tastes even better. Kanafeh is one of the best desserts in the world. Best of all, they don't come in chocolate orange flavours.

Tarnop posted:But the contact tracers say all the transmission is happening in homes! No we don't have actual data to support that, and our world-beating contact tracing scheme definitely isn't just a way to add a hint of credibility to our "all work, no play" excuse for a lockdown They're probably right in that you get it off one person at work/the pub and immediately give it to everyone you live with because of the very close proximity (but then they also give it to someone at work). YOU don't infect people at work/the pub because someone else already did. But not going to work/the pub is how you break the transmission chain, unless the govt wanna spring for covid hotels like China.

goddamnedtwisto posted:They're really not, people just get confused by the phasing when there's a crossing on a junction because if you time it wrong it can take >60 seconds before the green man shows. On some junctions there may be a pedestrian phase built into the phasing, so pressing the button isn't a necessity, but on simple crossings the light change is basically immediate (and absolutely won't happen unless you press the button). I just press them with my elbow, and wonder what the relative covid transmission risk is between pressing a button and standing cow-like in a big crowd waiting for a light change that never comes. Then they should have different buttons. I've never come across one that hasn't changed automatically, even if it takes a while, anywhere in the UK, as far as I can recall, and I'm not touching the covid factory if I can help it. It helps that where I live atm there are now cow-like big crowds waiting for light changes, I suppose. thespaceinvader posted:Do people not just... grasp the light patterns of all their local junctions? Same here.

OwlFancier posted:Surely if they can't get people through customs quickly people will just stop selling poo poo to the UK, like what's the point tying up your trucks and drivers in a car park for days when you could be using them to shift more goods elsewhere? You know that if there's even a tiny bit of profit to be made they'll make truck drivers sit in a car park for days on end to wait for it. Might mean less fresh veg though.

Isomermaid posted:It's this thinking that being transphobic (or racist, or misogynist etc) is something that you ARE rather than something that you DO. This is a good way of putting it. I sort of think the same is true of "bad" and "good". Good people do good things sometimes and vice versa (see the worst person you know made a valid point dot jpg) and this shorthand of good/bad/racist people is making it more difficult to deal with.

Dogatron posted:Angepain, if you have a degree from a university you gave them too much money. What the gently caress is this? Stop taking shots at other posters, you dipshit. Everyone piled onto you because your original point, from what people could decipher, is that middle class people who can work from home are too worried about the virus? Maybe everyone is worried but if you can't WFH you can't afford to stay home because, y'know, you need to get paid. Everyone should be home, but we can't do that as a society which is pretty loving obvious. Most jobs are unproductive bullshit. This also isn't news. Going to university and writing in paragraphs doesn't make you smarter, and angepain's posts are much easier to understand than yours. Jesus loving christ you're a trainwreck of a poster. Dogatron posted:You want me to gently caress off for telling folk to organise, educate and agitate? Alright this is either performance art or you're just a really dense motherfucker. Honestly I wish I had the minute it took me to write this post back.

Regarde Aduck posted:His point is the most privileged are also the loudest. Either screaming at people in bizarre overreactions, freaking out about yet another hypochondriac episode or declaring the end of the world. Motherfuckers you want to try working through this poo poo. And I mean working out there with the general public. Not at home. Not even in an office. There's way too many computer touchers on SA and its really skewing things, even on these ostensibly leftist subforums. So your point is that it's not as bad as office workers think it is because lots of people are still working? You know that loads of people are getting sick and dying/have long term symptoms, right?

The Question IRL posted:In fairness to him, (the clip is only 24 seconds so it's hard to judge) if you take his words in context, the very next thing he says is about meeting with Trans spokespeople to listen to their concerns. I wouldn't give Wes Streeting the benefit of the doubt, considering his positions on literally everything else, tbh. Saying one thing and then self correcting on twitter where only diehards will know you ever did it is a pretty standard move at this point anyway.

Guavanaut posted:16 year olds can order beer, wine, or cider with a meal in a pub. Other than that, it's 18 guardian or not, although sufficiently confident grandads can order lager shandy for children of any age by asserting that it's not legally alcohol. (This is true at 0.5%, to avoid duty on fruit juices that naturally self ferment, but not the case for a half and half glass of 3.7% lager and lemonade, but are you going to argue with loud granda?)

knox_harrington posted:Food in my university halls was disgusting unidentifiable slop and very much not posh, but still way better than food at an army barracks in Catterick I had the displeasure of having to eat. The food there was also disgusting unidentifiable slop, but more expensive, served to a captive audience, and the hobs in the accommodation were disabled because Serco weren't making enough money out of privates on £16k a year. Does the british army do the standard army thing of having radioactive/fluorescent looking mashed potatoes? The IDF food loving sucked, but at least there's was a ton of it (unless you're a vegan/vegetarian in which case lol). The closest I got to uni food was the food trucks outside 3 times a week which were amazing and the 20 minute line to get the free food from some sort of monks?
