Just imagining you getting an entire naan, unpackaged, through the letterbox, via royal mail. There's gotta be a market for that right? Just an app where you press a button and it sends someone to shove a naan through your letterbox?

Obviously if you were doing this professionally you would invent the naan-franker.

Bobstar posted:The FTPA (First Toast Post Aaah!) set the minimum to 5 years, so the coalition partners couldn't (threaten to) explode the coalition for political gain, but there's always been a maximum. Though it's probably written on a stone in Wiltshire and also made up, but thankfully the government can't just go on forever. Technically parliament could pass a law that says we don't need to have elections, as they did during the second world war. They voted each year to extend the maximum another year.

You can do that if you want but mostly you're just offloading the work of deboning them to the eating phase. It's not hard but it does interrupt the eating IMO.

I admit I'd never really considered the possibility of MPs doing photo ops actually having any material effect on anything, I've always just viewed it like having a royal visit or something. It doesn't do anything it's just apparently an elaborate form of social care for those afflicted with aristocracy or political leanings. They show up at some daft event or something and everyone goes around chuntering nonsense at each other and then nothing happens. It's like when you read old victorian stories about how the high society types spend all their time at "the club" which is an endless series of drawing rooms and wood paneling with the terminally affluent milling about in them because that's just what they do.

Ms Adequate posted:Oh, no, the photo op is whatever it's just to show their constituents "I care about this" and I don't care if we take the piss about that, it's the going after the actual issue that seems a bit off to me. I don't really see it as much distinct from culture war stuff, personally. It might not necessarily do anything actually bad (although I am frankly rather skeptical of any legislative attempt to ban anything that is actually going to be effective at reducing the thing and not just getting people arrested for stupid poo poo, I just don't have that kind of faith in the government.) But it's comparable in being a kind of... vacuous thing that really only exists to give politicians something to point at that doesn't require them to actually engage with anything difficult. Like the puff pieces they put on at the end of the news or whatever. Just meaningless crap to stop you thinking too hard about the real problems. If the best a politician can muster is "I support puppies and kittens not being sad" then what are they even for? Do I need politicians to tell me they don't like puppies and kittens being sad? Can we get labour to support bringing israel to the ICC if we point out they're bombing puppies and kittens as well? I can't help but think of Marx's position on it which afaik is that while animal rights aren't a bad thing, the predominant strain in animal rights activism, to his mind, was people who pursued it like a hobby, and to the exclusion of being willing to think about either the humans they mistreat or capitalism itself's effect on animals. It isn't a coherent, consistent critique of the world that would look to draw common ground between the way society treats people and the way it treats animals, it's just touchy feely bollocks about not making the "good" types of animals cry. And if that's the best someone can muster in the state of the world as it exists then it's hard not to see it as infantile, to think less of them for it. It's not a bad position in isolation, it's something you might commend a five year old for thinking. But for a politician to be so otherwise worthless that it's the best thing you can say for them, that they feel it's worth advertising, that's just pathetic.

Jaeluni Asjil posted:Actually..... this is a ton more likely to work with those who either don't want to think about Israel/Palestine or who just respond with 'they're all the same why are we even bothered about a foreign land 3000 miles away none of our business etc' or are in the 'can't we all just get along' crowd. Given the rainbow washing approach establishing the pattern I suspect the response would be "oh you don't like us bombing the puppies well hamas personally invented XL bullies to eat western children yet you support them????"

Yeah I would say if you don't think you can live comfortably on £70k then the issue isn't the economy it's that you have an utterly warped notion of "comfortable". If I was on 70k I would be putting half of it in the bank and quitting my job as soon as I had enough to run me the rest of my life, and still have every material possession I could want.

The Question IRL posted:Okay, so this is something that has come up twice now from people talking about the Guardian Article. 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. There is nothing stopping you from driving a normal car with 2 children except that unspoken assumption, which I think is a bad one?

Jaeluni Asjil posted:One of my friends is a firm believer that if a Labour council goes bankrupt it is their entire fault because it is up to them how to apportion their budget - nothing to do with budget cuts from Westminster, no accounting for those services councils are legally obliged to provide. I haven't asked her how that tallies with the tory councils also on the verge of - if not already - bankruptcy. (Just avoiding all political discussions with her these days). Chop a leg off, if she has issues walking tell her it's up to her how to apportion her leg so it's her own fault.

When I had my old RF wireless headphones, every now and then I would pick up an errant signal from somewhere. I assume it must have been a neighbour because they're not exactly powerful things, but somebody was absolutely blasting porno with an RF transmitter and it would be audible in the background when I was using the headphones. All of my neighbours were old farts so god knows which of them it was. Godspeed to them though.
