Not So Fast posted:What's his actual opinion, is it the Corbyn position of supporting peace and against NATO? Or has he gone more pro-invasion that that? Well, he was one of those people who swore up and down that Russia would never invade the Ukraine a week before it happened. Then went silent for a while after Russia did invade Ukraine. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2022/02/25/time-putins-real-useful-idiots-woke/ (Apologies the link is to the Torygraph. It also includes him talking about Ukraine being full of Nazi's which is why Russia had to invade.) He is also using the Russian talking point that Nato is pushing for the war using Ukraine as its proxy. https://www.globaltimes.cn/page/202203/1255144.shtml He also uses the (again Russian points) that "the war would end tomorrow if Ukraine agreed to Russia's minimal demands." Competely overlooking the fact that Russia started the War, and were quite clearly targeting Ukranian civilians.

They worked for RT, including doing a show together. https://www.pressandjournal.co.uk/fp/politics/scottish-politics/4070360/alex-salmond-george-galloway-russia-today/ Not So Fast posted:Ah OK, that's closer to the former although I get frustrated when people who are very anti-war when it comes to the US and NATO fall into believing whatever Putin says as a justification for the war. Corbyn has reasonably avoided doing that but it looks like Galloway is less reasonable on that front. Putin was....foolish for starting a war that has killed thousands and displaced many more? I'd personally use a stronger word, like monstrous, but that's just me. Don't like genocides or war crimes, so I don't.

Matt LeBlanc has aged gracefully and tried to embrace and normalise aging and that people shouldn't feel ashamed of not staying the same body type they had in their 20's/30's. While Matt Le Tisser is going around saying that Bin Laden was a sleeper Mossad agent and Jews did 9/11.

This is more accurate than you might think. Florence's albums each had an elemental theme. (Lungs= Air. Ceremonial = Water. How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful = Earth. High as Hope = Fire. Dance Fever = Spirit.) So it's quite appropriate that the elemental theme for this albuln would be Void.

Tesseraction posted:Keep crashing* more and more expensive cars until you can buy a fantastic one. My 2010 Toyota RAV4 was written off after a car accident in October. (I wasn't at fault.) I ended up using the settlement to get a second hand 2016 KIA Sportage. (The dealer at the time had a 2016 KIA with like 80,000 KM on the clock or a 2018 one with 140,000 KM on the clock. Both were the same price.) I went with the 2016 one, thinking if the 2018 wracked up that many KM in that short space of time (including a Pandemic which should have reduced driving) then it would be more reliable. Now since then a couple of bits have had to be looked at by the garage (the boot losing hydraulics, some lights going on with the dash board.) But they've covered all the repairs as it's under warranty. In hindsight maybe I should have gone with the 2018, since that version would have had Android Auto, and I really liked getting to use my phone through the touch screen. And I would have loved the heated seats.

keep punching joe posted:The 70k guy should probably cut back his expenses a bit though. Like maybe have a worse car and a shopping budget for a starter. I managed to save aggressively enough on a sub 25k salary that I could put down 20% on a lovely house in a lovely area after a few years (not having a dependent spouse and kids did help mind you , as did living in a literal slum with very low rent), but you can probably make it work if you are willing to live more basically. Okay, so this is something that has come up twice now from people talking about the Guardian Article. Saying "just downsize your car or get a cheap second hand car" is a justifiable position, when you are just a singleton who looks after yourself and maybe a pet. When you have kids, literally everything terrifies you on some level that it will in some way kill your kids. That sliced chicken that is one day past it's best before date? I'll be fine to eat that. But give it to your kid? Hell no, they could get sick. This also applies to cars. When you have kids, you want a safe car. That means you are reluctant to get a car that's too cheap, for fear it's a death trap. Then you have to look at a larger car that can hold you kids. And you want a car that is safer for the kids to be in. It's one of the reasons there are so many SUV's out there. Just saying "just downsize in cars" isn't necessary helpful as you are probably comparing your personal situation to his. Much like what the elderly are doing when they say stuff like "just save and get a house. That's what I did in the 70's! Why can't you?"

Guavanaut posted:The toilet was in such bad condition that I shat in my kecks on purpose. Please tell everyone it was on purpose and there were communists near the toilet. Would you be able to buy new communists for a fiver? He'll, I'm not sure you could get many second hand ones for that price. OwlFancier posted:I would suggest this is a combination argument 1: against having kids and 2: that it's better to flatten other people's kids with your commuter tank than accept risk to your own. I don't know if it's an irrational fear. Like I said, I was involved in a car accident last year. A small car (Reneut Clio) went into the back of my Rav 4. I then went into the back of a BMW. I was a bit stiff and sore afterwards but by the weekend I was fine. The main thing I took out of that was the car absorbed all the damage. Had my child been in the car (I'm thankful she wasn't) I hope she'd have been unhurt like I was. So basically when I got my new car, I went with an SUV sized one in case I was ever in an accident like that again and I had the family in the car, I'd hope they'd be all safe like I was. And I guess with the knowledge that I needed to drive slowly and safely in estates or other places with kids.

Josef bugman posted:My fiance is a trans woman and a peer supporter at a local trans group but is just finding it very difficult at the moment as we are going through a, let's use a polite euphemism, "rough time" with the way things are politicallyt the moment. I am being supportive and listening when she wants to talk and she is okay with me just listening, and being listened to but I feel very helpless and don't know what else I can or should do. About the only thing is learning to manage your own discomfort. That sounds harsh, so I'll explain. Your fiance (and you) are facing a large scale real world problem. And unless you are secretly Charles Xaiver, you can't fix institutional transphobia in England. What you can do is continue to provide support, compassion, and love for your partner. That's what she wants. Now I know you feel like you could be doing more, but realistically you can't. The only thing you can do is try to understand why it makes you uncomfortable and how you can deal with that. Or you can try to find some way to activate your latent X-gene and hope you get a really cool mutant power.

fuctifino posted:On the subject of Rose, she got married to her husband when she was 19 and he was in his 40's. They got married two days after the engagement was announced, and around three months later she gave birth to twins. He's spent most of his time since then living in Paris with his openly gay roommate, and she's never lived more than 15 minutes away from William. One of the twins was a page boy at Charles and Camilla's wedding. I think the more likely option is that Rose's husband, David Rocksavage, is gay. But as he is nobility, he needs to have an heir. So makes a deal with Rose, "let me breed you, then I can go back to breeding my boyfriend." The twins were born in 2009. Which means unless the affair has been going on for 15+ years, they are unlikely to be William's. Now Rose's other child (her daughter Iris) was born in 2016. That's slightly more plausible given the rumours of the affair being found out in 2019. It's still a long shot. Now a hypothetical new Rose baby? Could very likely be William's.

fuctifino posted:I don't believe her husband is the father of the twins due to the very rushed nature of the wedding followed by the birth three months later. See in my opinion, the rushed nature of the engagement/wedding was because he wanted to be sure that she was preggers and past the main danger zone. Once it looked like she was a runner for having his kids, then he gets married. But I can understand the thinking behind twin princes. It must suck how one of the twins (Oliver) was made a page of honour at King Chalres coronation, but not Alexander. Like with twins at that event it should have been both or none.

But depending on who you talk to, Mother's Day, your Birthday and the day when Ireland win the Grand Slam at Rugby are all days when you can drink and still be fine for Lent.)

WhatEvil posted:Supposedly part of the "U" vs "Non-U" thing is to do with using French root words or not. Using Frenchy words is apparently a thing that the proles do/did to try to seem posh. The more you go down this rabbit hole of "words with U in it" the stranger it gets. I studied at the Honorable Society of the King's Inns. On our first week it was explained to us that the Institution was established by Royal Charter in 1541 by King Henry VIII. As part of this, because we were super awesome we were given the regal privilege of....being allowed spell Honourable in our name without the U. Because back then that was the mark of greatness, before the Americans would come along and spoil that. To this day if you look at the King's Inns logo it has the word "Honorable" in it. This was explained to us on our first week because our student IT'S said "Honourable" and they had to explain why this was in fact a typo.

Better book you for a Colonoscopy." "Turns out that those abdominal pains you insisted were kidney stones were in fact, kidney stones. Better book you for a colonoscopy, just to be safe." Mentioning a family history of bowel cancer is something that might cause them to suggest a colonoscopy.
