The boss stepped down and their governance is under some sort of investigation but there don't seem to be any further details yet?

Other complaints over the years seem to be that people give too much money to donkeys because they're either unimaginative or donkey's PR is too good.

One minor funny thing from this week was that on dec 1st asda started having the staff on the tannoy yelling at everyone to put on masks, while sainsburys apparently forgot to take off the "wearing masks is now a personal choice" announcement from the store radio rotation and so was blaring it all of yesterday lmao.

Johnson wasn't even at the party and they can get away with saying all covid restrictions were followed as apparently the legislation used to make the covid rules has an exception for downing street. Which should be more of a "...you loving what?"

It would seem the statistics show that you are pretty much exactly about as likely to die of a drug overdose in prison as you are out of prison. So I guess that does support it not altering things.

https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopula...ales/2008to2016

Whats a bit odd is that you are massively at risk of a drugs overdose in your first fortnight out of prison, which to me doesnt totally tally.

Surely that's a combination of a) recent traumatic experience finally ending, b) being able to use in a much more comfortable environment with easier access and probably higher purity and c) trying to deal with the new traumatic experience of being out and still just as hosed as before.

I know that if I got sent down one of the first things I'd do after getting released would probably be to go on the mother of all benders.

I can't argue with any of that. But that does seem to suggest that the being in prison alters the drug taking experience and/or opportunities as I initially enquired about.

Sounds like the truth is in the middle somewhere. So like 9.5ish.

12 - 12 represents the harmony of the yin and yang: In Chinese numerology, one is a yang number, ruled by the sun and symbolizing independence and individualism. Two is a yin number ruled by the moon and represents symmetry and balance. Together in the number 12: harmony.

Well this isnt what they're advertising, they're explicitly saying online they wont stab you without a referral from your GP under 40 and less than 6 months, but I guess once you're there they're not going to say no most of the time.

This is always going to be the frustrating thing about discussing capitalism and liberalism vs communism / socialism with anyone. The lib/cap side is always going to keep arguing an idealised fantasy version of their theory and ignoring real world attempts at them failing as not really being lib/cap, and it still being a noble goal. But com/soc of course is always argued in terms of the real world failures (that largely failed because of lib/cap interference or corruption), and then using that as an argument against the theoretical, idealised systems.

It's like someone trying to argue that their electric car is better because at some point in the future a wizard will make it self driving and carbon negative, and all the times they burst into flames locking their occupants into a fiery shell of death, or cost more carbon to manufacture and ship than the average petrol car uses in its lifespan, or tried to take a shortcut through a bus queue shouldn't count because they never meant to do those things.

Lmao. This is excellent parody.

I thought it was so if you had a reaction they could log the batch numbers and quickly contact everyone in case of contamination. Wouldn't be surprised though if that was the intent and there is no actual lookup database or infrastructure in place to actually do that.

When you log in to your NHS account and download your covid passport it has the batch numbers and everything else there. The piece of paper is pointless. Like how would they even contact everyone else?

Like a few other posters, I'm intending to Xmas abroad this year, but I'm starting to wonder whether it will happen (keeping my Xmas Eve ocado booking just in case).

BBC says they just added another test we'll have to take... Another 50 quid or something probably? I thought they were supposed to sort out these extortionate costs for bullshit tests? Nah.

At this rate it won't happen at all.

The most recent example of this kinda thing I can think of is indie game darling Johnathan Blow, to my mind an absolute genius in puzzle design and visual learning who has been tweeting about how he's solved the Covid puzzle and the chinese made it on purpose.

Yeah that's the point though, him and all his dead-eyed chums just loving yucking it up knowing that nothing will happen about the fact him and all his oval office mates got together while people were dying literally in their thousands, alone, their families at best allowed to watch them gasp their last over a video call, alone apart from a nurse on a 12 hour shift who might have found time to touch them on the hand or something just in case they could feel it, before going on to the next poor fucker.

You know that line about your hate being pure? I'm feeling it again now, in a way I haven't in a while. It's a joke to them, they know that nothing bad will ever, ever happen to them, that there are no consequences for them, that the rules only apply to the little people who were stupid enough not to have rich parents who could send them to the right schools. That braying you hear there? That's them laughing at *you*, and everyone you know and love, and everyone who has to follow the rules. I'm gonna stop now before I say something that brings the attention of the mods - or the police - because of course the rules apply to me. I can't even joke about what this makes me feel like doing, but they can airily dismiss the deaths of tens of thousands of people.

Yes 100% agree. Just from her tone (?) in the tweet I initially thought it was from last xmas, so was just clarifying for myself really more than anything.
