To recommend thrift to the poor is both grotesque and insulting. It is like advising a man who is starving to eat less. New Labour: yes but if the starving man ate less he would be able to afford more food so he wouldn't starve!

I view it as similar to saying Ukraine, not the Ukraine. Just because commentariat twats are doing it, doesn't mean it's not a good thing to do. I find it very hard to get out of WW2 Eastern front mode when reading place names though...

Borrovan posted:Churchill didn't actually go into any warzones afaik I read a bit from Antony Beevor's book about D-Day last night, about 7 or 8 days after the invasion started Churchill visited the beachhead with Eisenhower. When getting ready to make the trip back to England Churchill spotted a destroyer about to start a naval bombardment mission, got really excited, and insisted that he be allowed to stand on the deck so he could 'join in'. I think that's probably about as close as he got during WWII.

Comrade Fakename posted:Speaking of Easter eggs, I have been wondering about the economics of them. Specifically, why do they get put out so early? There are literally eggs on the shelves on New Years' Day. Why is this? Supermarket shelving is valuable, yet not only have I never heard of anyone I know ever buying an Easter egg well before Easter, I've also never seen it, and in fact I can't remember even seeing a gap on those shelves suggesting that someone did buy one. Every year, there's shelf after shelf of pristine, untouched eggs taking up space that could be filled with other things people want to buy, for months. I'm not one of those people who complains at "Easter getting earlier every year," I just don't understand the financial reason for it. I don't know about new year, but my experience in small-scale retail at least was that seasonal stuff (Christmas especially) gets put out months in advance because it takes so long to receive the delivery, check the delivery, organise, price, and merchandise it. I could also say that for every person complaining about how early it was for X, I saw 5 people browsing and buying stuff from the display. I don't know how much that applies to large-scale retail like supermarkets, with just-in-time deliveries.

I welcome the Reichskanzler's commitment to attaching themselves to the fringe, and encourage them to go further and attach to the entire haircut.

Trickjaw posted:Thanks, guys. I was hoping it was my anaemia, as my surgery refuses to give me a booster of b12 until the day after three months since the last one... but I've been here before. Nothing like having your brain whiring away at 4 am whilst you are so tired you can't fight off the doubts. At least I have you all. Take care of yourself Trickjaw. Depression sometimes causes me to have too much sleep as well, if we can somehow synthesise the two we can create dialectic sleep  I found that meditation really helped me when I was anxious or couldn't sleep, focusing on your breathing and then telling each part of your body to go to sleep in turn at the very least may help you relax, even if it doesn't send you to sleep.

My dad was patiently explaining to me the other day, during a discussion on the topic of ALAB, that one of his friends is such a good landlord he even makes a loss on the properties he owns. And was then taken aback when I asked "why the gently caress is he a landlord then"
