Wait, I say Edin-burra and I live here!

wtf have I been saying it wrong my whole life?

No way man, I don't recognise this.

edit: If you click the sound icon at the start of the wiki page the guy there says it like how I say it.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edinburgh

That wikipedia clip is fun because if you focus you can make it turn into "Edin-bruh" or "Edin-buruh". As the official decider of edinburgh pronounciation because I'm me and I'm always right i declare both correct so long as you make it as difficult to tell as this guy did. Definitely more correct than that youtube guy who is leaning more to "Edin-brah". i mean it's still entirely understandable but one has to find some reason to feel smarter than foreigners when all other evidence says otherwise

I wonder if these parties are actually enjoyable. Is anyone there actually having a good time or are they just gritting their teeth while trying to make sure as many influential people remember their names. I guess they probably have oodles of cash to spend on drugs and circus animals or whatever the gently caress but a shite crowd's still a shite crowd at the end of the day, surely

And that is true of columned horrors too, it remains my abiding impression of Edinburgh, being that it is a city that loving hates its inhabitants because the entire architectural scheme of the city center is "not for you, gently caress off"

this has been my general impression of the city centre of glasgow, and given the general decisions by the city council over the last few decades it's probably not wrong. at least edinburgh has a park in the centre, even if it spends most of its time as a lovely Underbelly market or a horrible mud plain for weeks after the market leaves

https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2022/mar/26/plastic-t-rex-vs-rare-beetles-disney-on-thames-plan-london-devastate-wildlife

quote:

The park, called the London Resort, would be built on the Swanscombe peninsula on the Thames, near Gravesend, where it would cover land equivalent to 136 Wembley stadiums and would include themed rides, a water park, conference venues, hotels and a shopping centre.

However, the project is highly controversial – as will be revealed this week when preliminary hearings are held. Crucially, the theme park is being proposed as a “nationally significant infrastructure project” (NSIP) – a designation usually reserved for major roads, power plants or airports.

NSIPs are finally approved or rejected by the government, not by local authorities, which has raised fears that the decision over the fate of the London Resort is being moved away from community politicians and handed to ministers. “It is a real concern,” said Donna Zimmer, of the Save Swanscombe Peninsula campaign.

In addition, a large chunk of the peninsula has recently been designated a “site of special scientific interest” (SSSI) because of its wide range of rare plants and wildlife.

These include marsh harriers, spoonbills, otters, a wide variety of orchids, and more than 1,700 invertebrate species, including a quarter of the UK’s water beetle species and more than 200 species that are considered of conservation importance.

Sure as gently caress shooting up on these forums though, hoping that's reflective of the left in general. Zoomer2.0 looking pretty woke

Obviously normal people feel bleak about the future and forego reproduction, we however are already ground down and bleak so it makes no difference

Glad I live in a country that uses STV for local elections.

Actually with STV is it worth ranking all of the parties, or just the ones you actually tolerate enough to put a number beside?

the actual answer will depend on how many rounds the counts go to and which candidates actually last to the later rounds, but generally if the election was solely between the remaining parties and you would still go out and vote for one of them to keep the others out then putting a number makes sense. people looking at the results to measure a party's support will rarely look beyond first preferences and final seat counts so it's unlikely to be counted as an enthusiastic endorsement of a party.
