Danger - Octopus! posted:I know I'm not the only person to rant about this but getting a doctor's appointment at the mo feels like a cruel joke that's intended to send you private and funnel cash to tory-linked health firms. The only thing you can do in that situation is call 111. Sometimes if you tell the doctor's receptionist 'the pharmacy said I need to talk to a doctor' it'll work to get you in.

So my mum just got covid for the first time, thankfully its not bad, but all it took was one lapse in her security. Now mum was totally paranoid about catching it, for the last two or so years she has been wearing her mask, not going into shops unless essential, never invited anyone into the house, etc. She walked our dog at 0730 every morning, through snow, rain, and sun. A family friend had an accident a few days ago, and they asked us to take care of their dog. They didn't even enter the house, just gave the dog at the door, and collected it again. But while they were at the hospital, they got it there, and gave it to mum. So I'm the last of the family who is plague free. I am Charlton Heston in the Omega Man.

It's rare but possible that she got it via the dog. Hope she gets well soon. Post-Jeremy is a genre encompassing Keithcore, Jessgaze, and other types of formless noise-rock.

Still better than most new builds. I like all the kitchen details. It reminds me a bit of those "whole house is one room with a mezzanine" idea they had for London but cozy rather than a horrible concrete shell. (I'd totally have kicked that yuge clock off the wall by accident a few times if I lived there though)

A pond or paddling pool in the living room is quite a novel idea, though I did see a picture of a house for sale quite recently (can't find it now) with one of those endless pools in the living room.

Judging by the shape, the pool just covers the access hatch via which replacement grand pianos are delivered when the old ones get wet.

My favourite of those sets back in the day was - I think the baddy from She-Ra or someone.

Nothingtoseehere posted:According to that source, Johnson made two main points. Of course Vladimir Putin is a war criminal. He has been a war criminal since 1999 & the invasion of Chechnya when as PM he scrapped the '97 peace treaty, & again with Georgia. But as a oval office from a country that isn't seeing its cities destroyed & civilians slaughtered & territory annexed it's quite audacious to recommend not entering a dialogue with him for being a war criminal. Didn't stop the west having plenty of discussions with Putin over the previous decades. It's not a zero sum game, Putin can be bad, awful in fact, & yet the war continuing is worse. As for the second point, yes, in a nutshell. The embargo of Russia has failed because predictably other countries that aren't American lackies don't give a poo poo so they are buying & now we are slowly creeping towards winter where nobody is going to be able to afford. Without even considering the rises in the cost of food & fertilisers & the effect that will have globally. Call me selfish, call me a coward, I guess I am but is it wrong to ask if the price is worth it? Yes, the best scenario is Putin being overthrown & being replaced by a democratic, socialist, internationalist government. But it's a pretty unlikely result. The best actually achievable scenario seems to me like status quo ante bellum, to which I find myself asking "is that death & destruction worth it?"

Status quo ante bellum is what I want, frankly. Putin is a strongman dictator; in his position a draw is as bad as a defeat but it's chiefly a humiliation to him without harm being done to Russia. And he's almost 70, he doesn't have the time to come back from it. He might be toppled by a pack of cunts not unlike himself, but their imperial ambitions will be curbed as the West opens its doors again. As with World War I though, it'll be how we negotiate the peace that matters.
