Embarrassing scenes on the morning news today. Some idiot British reporter asking “but why are you doing this?” to people at the border offering refugees a lift in their car, and then wandering over to a group of women heading back into Ukraine to fetch their kids / family and saying (I wish I was kidding) “are you all off on a girl’s night out then?” I know they don’t exactly fill the morning slot with their best and brightest but come on.

Gorn Myson posted:Its "we need to look tough on Putin and tough on immigration" but they don't want to look callous on the second half of that. So instead of explicitly coming down against welcoming Ukrainian refugees, they fall back on the phrase "we need a simplified process" when dealing with applications, which as far as I can tell means "we need a better website".

ThomasPaine posted:Yeah it seems like every fucker in the pub is doing cocaine now. It's the one drug I will absolutely refuse to try on principle because holy poo poo the cartels are some of the sickest people on the planet. Would quite like to try MDMA though, even though the thought makes me anxious because my only experience of it was watching some girl outright die off one dodgy pill in one of those don't do drugs PSA films we were forced to watch in school.

I’d say MDMA comedowns started to really get to me after ~8 years of taking it a few times a year, I wouldn’t worry about it if you’ve never taken it before

important poll time: which bin liner is the best? (my answer spoilered below)  it's tie handles. It's OBVIOUSLY tie handles, nobody ever wants any of the other loving types, they exist purely to deceive exhausted shoppers who've already been in Tesco for 2 hours and just want to go home. If I see the drawstring picture I'm thinking "oh good it's the normal ones that tie at the top" and then NO it's the fuckers that fall to pieces if there's more than a single bit of old cheese in there; if I read "tie top" I think "oh good it's the normal ones that tie at the top and then no it's the ones with useless flappy bits that get covered in manky bin juice. gently caress off gently caress OFF with your shitey non-tie handle bin bags (flush top doesn't even warrant a mention, I mean come on) this has been my bin bag meltdown thank you for coming

Borrovan posted:In my opinion the fact that lots of people & groups interfere with our lovely democracy is not a valid reason not to pay attention when Russia does it There's not much point pointing out all the law-breaking going on when there's no punishment for breaking the law or any effort to enforce the law in the first place. E: To be clear, we need to be doing both pointing out the law-breaking and fixing the system that enforces the laws, but I think we need to prioritise fixing the system over any specific instance.

goddamnedtwisto posted:Hooray, I've got covid. Felt a bit rough and sweaty on Sunday but tested negative, actually feel a bit better today apart from a tickly cough. Praying I wasn't contagious on Saturday because I visited some family, although they're all jabbed up and most of them have had it anyway. I like the absurdity of the app saying it’s “helping to protect you and others” and then when you do get pinged it’s just “anyway thought you might want to know, carry on about your business“

It’s all very well hoping Boris gets himself blown up in a warzone, but if that happens we run the very real risk of getting a giant statue to Boris Johnson, Martyr for European Democracy and Hero of Ukraine and I think we need to ask if that’s a risk we’re willing to take.

ThomasPaine posted:That's actually nuts. It's not like you can just go without. I've weirdly never had any issues getting my repeat prescriptions within a few days of putting them in. Maybe I've just been lucky, maybe standards are just very patchy across the country. Still, I always have made sure I order a smidge more than I need so I can built up a stockpile, and no one will ever convince me it's not an extremely prudent thing to do. The last surgery she was at forcibly de-registered her when they found out we’d moved; everywhere is quite transparently trying to avoid seeing patients as much as possible, and while it might charitably be blamed on lack of funding and COVID the reality on the ground is still that there is effectively no non-emergency healthcare anymore.

I moved into a flat once and after submitting a meter reading got a bill for some comically absurd amount, I think several tens of thousands of pounds. Luckily I seem to recall they did quickly agree that there was something amiss and it turned out they had the wrong serial number for my meter somehow.

It’s always been amazing to me that people can listen to music and understand the lyrics as they’re being sung. I have to stop and concentrate very hard to understand the lyrics in almost any music and even then I get it wrong a lot of the time.
