Guavanaut posted:No I think vendors realized that if there was no law against selling the small ones for small cream dispensers (as determined by court case) then there's no precedent against selling the large ones for commercial cream foamers, and so sold those instead, and people using them for whatever purpose then realized that that was a lot cheaper and more convenient than dozens of tiny ones. To be fair you'd have to be trying really hard to asphyxiate yourself with nitrous

Ebola Dog posted:I dislike the "hotter than Ibiza/other nominally hot place" comparisons because all they boil down to is UK currently hotter than somewhere else. It's meaningless, is it a sign of climate change or is it normal variation in weather patterns? Who cares? The UK (or at least parts of the UK) is hotter than somewhere else, amazing! Good excuse for the sun to post the headline "phew, what a scorcher!" next to pictures of women sunbathing in the park on their lunchtime

If the prospect of interacting with a dog is a problem for you, then maybe just don't go to places where you're likely to encounter them. Like, if you're gonna have a big freakout because a dog might run over and give your a sniff, then perhaps parks aren't for you

Aramoro posted:Actually the opposite. gently caress farmers and gently caress farmland. The countryside as its sold to us is farmland, industrial land polluted and abused as much as a factory site. The only good we get out of farmers is when they're forced to do something and then they package it up and sell it back to us as a great thing they did. I quite like eating food, so I'm gonna have to disagree

Aramoro posted:Your love of food doesn't stop farmers being cunts. There's even a better way, you can produce more food more efficiently it's just that we choose not to. Right now 70% of the UK is agricultural land, and it produces about 60% of our domestic food usage. 40% of that land is used just to feed livestock. By reducing our dependancy on livestock we actually produce even more food for people. Nationally forced veganism sounds pretty poo poo

Drone_Fragger posted:Theres "working class" which is a cultural mindset. Ive seen business managers and gms describe themselves as working class despite owning like three houses and driving a Porsche because they grew up in a two bed terrace in Yorkshire ot whatever. So working class is being paid hourly rather than salary? Or something else? Honestly keen to hear how people define it

Surprise T Rex posted:Working class: sells labour to survive, actual value of pay is irrelevant. Premier league footballers and part time Tesco workers both fall into this category. So where would owning shares fall into this? Like, you can be dependent on your wages/salary for survival, but you bought a few stocks with a bit of your wages. Now if you get dividend payouts you're middle class? What if your don't get dividends and instead just sell for a profit? If you made money on GameStop, are you middle class?

Or if you're self employed you're working class, but if you get staff you're middle class? Not trying to box people into a corner with facts and logic, just wanna know what you think

Miftan posted:imo it's hard to put a hard line of THIS is where you're no longer working class. There are people who have to work for a living - they are working class. There are people who make money simply by having money. Sometimes it's because they're BTL landlords, sometimes they're old money, or sometimes they worked for a bit and made so much money they retired at 30, like professional athletes, and now live off investments they made then. They are bourgeoisie. This is a good post. So if I don't need to live off my own labour, and instead can support myself financially from the labour of others, either through property or investments, or a company I owned, I'd be upper class, but if I had some investments to supplement my income, but still had to work, I'd be middle class?

Jakabite posted:I think it’s impossible to ignore that in the UK middle class and working class are also cultural phenomena with quite a large degree of separation from your actual current material circumstances. Yeah, there's definitely this too. Like, I'd argue that maybe currently class is more divided along cultural norms than how you earn your money. You can be wage dependent but only drink red wine and shop at Waitrose and that's more a signifier that you're middle class rather than an electrician with 2 vans and 4 employees that drinks Stella, and still considered working class. See also posts like: crispix posted:did someone scrawl somethingawful.com on a loving flat roof pub toilet cubicle? Flat roof pub (with at George's cross in the window) screams working class, but here that's coded 'bad', compared to other posts where middle being class is terrible. It's a minefield

Jaeluni Asjil posted:Interesting definitions of working / middle class above. Exactly. If you need a degree for your job, teacher etc, then you're by default seen as both middle class on terms of culture, but working class in terms of income. It's a strange situation. I suppose you can argue yourself up or down depending on the situation
