Currenlty motiviating myself out of spite to go to the pools purely to try and get Binface to have more votes than Fox. He probably won't care as it's all a publicity stunt but still. Yeah, might as well get a tiny smidgen of fun out of the shitstorm.

I just voted entirely out of spite. Count Binface to spite Fox, Sadiq to spite internet racists who hate us having a Muslim mayor, and all the rest Green to spite Keith and his Red Tories (and also to spite Sian Berry for not wanting ex-Corbynistas, tough poo poo lady, though I admit that's rather spiting myself in the foot there). I'd still far rather have someone to vote for.

goddamnedtwisto posted:I've still yet to see a single leaflet from Labour for either GLA or Mayoral elections. Two from the Tories, one novella from the piss-drinker, one from the weirdo Rahman Rump telling me that I need to vote to keep a directly elected Tower Hamlets mayor (there's a referendum going on for that as well as the election). What's noticeable (as I'm at home to see it) is that all of the leaflets that have been delivered have been by the same guys who do the pizza leaflets and estate agent PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD TELL US YOU HAVE ROOMS TO RENT solicitations. It's almost as though they local Labour party lack either the cash to pay a fiver per hundred leaflets or the volunteers to deliver them for free. I got a "Vote Labour Today" one through the door just now* along with a couple of Lidl leaflets, so yeah, definitely out of money and/or volunteers. (*Haha! Too late suckers!) Ed: Also bought fudge

Party Boat posted:Labour are really focused on GOTV here, we had multiple leaflets through the door and one of the (not up for election) councillors door knocking an hour ago to ask if we'd voted. I had a gang of them actually knock on my door half an hour ago. Told them I'd already voted and snarled that I wouldn't vote for Starmer if they paid me when they said they hoped it was for Labour. I feel a bit ashamed now; it must be a hapless job treading the pavements for that copsucking void.

Jippa posted:My only advice for people getting jabs is the "appointments" aren't really that. You just roll into a room and they jab you, give you a bit of paper then send you off. I barely had enough time to take my shirt off. It took about 60-90 secs and I didn't even sit down. Huh, both mine they made everyone sit in a waiting room for 15 mins afterwards, presumably to check we didn't faint or anaphylax or explode into a cloud of vaccine microparticles. But that was the local health centre so maybe they had more room.

It stopped around February of this year and I had hoped that was the end of it. I've never had multiple rockets explode above my house in a 2 hour period though. Local council noise abatement? Is it a free house or managed for a brewery?

My pay's not great but it's more than enough for me and expenses, and I'm enjoying working from home. As long as I'm around to answer the phones and keep an eye on the email no-one's on my back, and 90% of my "work" is updating Slack for clients so I'm just sitting here lazing around the internet. I am so loving lucky to be getting away with this.

jaete posted:Yep that's the biological context. In Tolkien it seems that elves and humans are on some level the same species but different subspecies (or different "races"), since they can produce viable offspring. It immediately gets a bit difficult though since the offspring of half-elves can choose for themselves whether they want to be elves (immortal) or humans (short-lived, but... with no upsides I guess?), so there's some literal magic involved There's the southern guy hanging out with Bill Ferny who the hobbits think "looks more than half like a goblin", but since none of them have ever seen an orc at that point it's kind of hard to tell whether that's a hint at interbreeding or just hobbits being racist.

keep punching joe posted:I always took him as being some creation of Saruman, like the Uruk Hai who were (maybe I'm misremembering) a half breed of orcs and men. Orcs of course already being Morgoths corrupted Elves. It's pretty up in the air what Saruman actually did to make them sunproof, IIRC. Could be interbreeding, could be inventing factor 50 and sunglasses. I don't think it was ever made any clearer in the mighty tomes of notes.

Brendan Rodgers posted:Weren't hunter-gatherers taller and healthier on average, with more leisure time, than the agrarian civilisations that started writing? That could have formed a shared cultural memory of an idealised and romanticised golden age that was now unattainable. I'm probably talking out of my arse here. Yeah, I think it's just generic human "everything was cooler when I was younger and my grandad said things were WAY more cool when HE was young and young people today are all lazy shiftless and useless"-ism.

Of course there were giants, stupid, you can find their bones sometimes! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adrie...roduction_2011)

The really depressing thing is it's not even a new reveal - I have a copy of Solomon Steckoll's The Alderney Death Camp right here, published 1982. Not that I'm sorry it's getting noticed and re-revealed, but there's a certain feeling of gently caress, it'll just be another 9-day horror and then whoops down the memory hole again.
