I quite enjoy the The Witcher show. It's nowhere near as good as the games and it's pretty dumb, but it's good clean dumb fantasy fun. It's like HD Hercules or Xena. Other telly I have recently enjoyed: Station Eleven (seriously, watch this, it's really wonderful) Yellowjackets (gets pretty dumb pretty quickly but very entertaining imo)

Even by tory standards this seems dumb About the only thing that might ever shift the needle properly with the grate british public is when people are directly hit in the financials, and this is taking the piss We don't care about corruption, we love racism, we revel in incompetence, and we don't mind if our lives get worse year by year as long as it happens slowly and we have the usual Hates to distract us But this is so big and obvious and in your face

ThomasPaine posted:Omicron trip report: absolute bullshit waste of time. I'm pretty much already recovered after 4 days except for a bit of congestion. At its worst it was congestion + a bit of a cough + mild fatigue and fever. I've had worse colds. As expected if you've had your 3x vaccines I don't think there's much point getting worked into a pit of existential despair about it. Unfortunately it does seem to be lingering. LFTs are still returning strong positives, so I'm still under house arrest. Hopefully only for a few more days, though apparently after 10 you're supposedly no longer contagious regardless of whether the tests pick it up? Idk. After ten days you're allowed to leave self-isolation so long as you don't have a fever, regardless of whether you're still testing positive on LFTs. Whether or not that means you're no longer contagious at that point is ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Removing the requirement to self-isolate at this moment is loving insanely irresponsible, regardless of "positive" trends I'm sure one in two people probably are merrily wandering around spreading it to all and sundry already (because the English are loving cunts), but making that two in two people is, uh, not a great idea Unless you wanna do eugenics And don't give a gently caress about doing long term health damage to a non-significant percentage of your workforce ...oh

Reveilled posted:Older people use them to mean something completely different from younger people, they usually intend it to convey two things: a seperator, providing a beat that represents a change in context or that one thought builds on another. Think of situations where you might decide to send two messages to someone over something like WhatsApp rather than put everything you want to say in one message. Yeah this checks out, my partner's mum types exactly like that on her whatsapp. Always reads like she's incredibly unsure of what she's actually typing Also boomers don't get that punctuation (and full stops in particular) come across as being really cross to the internet generation. A friend of mine loves to talk about the time her mum sent her a text saying "happy birthday." haha

josh04 posted:Yeah, the idea is that if you're still testing positive after ten days and don't have symptoms then it's just dead virus material floating about in your sinuses and you aren't contagious any more. iirc you're then liberated from having to take tests for 90 days(?) but I can't find confirmation of that for Scotland. Yes it's this, with the one caveat that PCRs will pop positive for up to 90 days (usually significantly less time) but after a shorter periods LFTs will work properly again Anyway, yeah, you're free to leave, Octopus
