"average mp has 3 stances per issue" factoid actualy just statistical error. average person eats 0 spiders per year. Rochdale Georg, who lives in cave & has over 10,000 each day, is an outlier adn should not have been counted

He is partly correct in that it is a bit poo poo how the press keeps quiet about these things until its convenient. However 'he was being blackmailed over the rapes he did' still does not detract from the rapes he did.

Honestly with how dire the alternatives are in Rochdale, the fact that the best option was the world's only transphobic catboy says more about how dire things are for the two mainstream parties. And how badly the lib dems poisoned the well selling out to the tories. And how offensively petit-bourgeoise the English green's* messaging is. If you don't vote at all they count you on the stats as lazy, and I'm not sure spoiled ballots generally show up either, so voting for the obvious oval office is pretty much the only way of 'sending a message' that will be visible enough in the stats. It's just grim that people are that angry, and all the media can do in response is go 'ah those bigoted northerners' and then tell them to calm down and stop protesting while doing nothing about the material conditions making them so angry. * I understand Scot Greens are doing better, having been infiltrated by pod anarchist James.

smellmycheese posted:Kate embraced the light of Allah, like Diana before her, and thus had to be terminated Hard to find any hard facts about how many votes were postal (at least for my pudding brain it is), and the fact the accusation is being boosted by Reform and Farage makes me want to double check if it's actually the case, or if some freeman of the land has got the wrong end of the stick. Could be that the new photo ID law has led a ton of people to vote remotely instead.

Right. Google's not giving me anything useful, and you lot know things so I'm asking here. What's different between the generic Salamol inhalers and the older Salbutamol inhalers? I ask because most of my adult life I've had a blue ventolin/salbutamol inhaler. Never had any issues with it. Worked great. However in recent years, they've been giving me these lovely little salamol generics that crap out after a few activations, and something in their composition gives me palpitations and makes me feel extremely jittery after using them (I have a similar problem with caffeine and a bunch of other medications). I can't find anything specifying the difference apart from an asthma forum claiming (unsourced) that the generics use ethanol? Apparently if the prescription specifically says ventolin you can get the older style so I might try that, but it does mean running the gauntlet of trying to get through to the GP surgery.

The pharmacy do have ventolin, but they need to see it written as that on the prescription, so it sounds like I need to go back to the gp.

His Divine Shadow posted:Hard to summon sympathy though, where I hang out I get exposed to a lot of the swedish suburban middle class person and I deeply loathe them and their well off (and wasteful) lives. It's people complaining "I don't have much to spare after necessities and luxuries," when there's people with more of an "I can't afford necessities, let alone luxuries" vibe out there. I'm a big believer that socialism shouldn't mean people can't have nice things, but as Guava pointed out some people have a very warped definition of what 'nice things' are. It's particularly galling when it's MPs and middle managers complaining about their £80k salary when there are people treading water working under them on £20-30k. Like if you can't afford poo poo, how the hell do you think your employees are dealing with everything? And then of course there's this tweet:

The Question IRL posted:This whole thing about teens in England the 90's wandering into forests to find porn I just find so weird. Does make me wonder if there's a psychological divide between the generation who had to go into a news agent and physically buy it from a judgemental old person who knew your mam, and younger generations browsing pornhub and maybe subscribing to an onlyfans or two.

He's gotten addicted to posting his rants in the comments of the page because they keep telling him he should stand as a candidate. I don't think any of them realise that working class people are the stooges in Reform's game. They're the mob to be whipped into a rage over whichever issue the bourgeoise want them to vote on, they're not supposed to ever be in charge.

Interesting* news from local election campaigning. Had our first flyers in from Labour & Libs. Both fronted by a graph saying they are going to win, the Libs in particular saying Labour can't win using data from the last GE, i.e. before the boundaries were redrawn. . What's interesting is that the lib leaflet has the candidate's name all over it, it's about his stance on issues, big picture of him on the front and several places inside. Usual stuff. The Labour one does not mention the candidate's name at all. Anywhere. There's a boxout about the police comissioner candidate, and a sidebar about the local labour team, but even that doesn't name them. https://vote.labour.org.uk/didcot-and-wantage There's no candidate! Can they do that? Are they running empty seats to drop a candidate into afterwards? Our last MP was a bit melty but ultimately Corbyn sympathetic, so I wouldn't be surprised if he's been disappeared. * Probably not.

Rarity posted:No they'd just put trans women with cis men and trans men with cis women because this is a logical idea that everyone will be comfortable with The existence of trans men throws up so many contradictions in TERF logic, so they love to just pretend trans men don't really exist, because TERFism is at its core an attack on trans women. It's amazing, even their trans exclusion manages to be trans exclusionary! gently caress Starmer and gently caress the lot of them. I really hope this is one of those 'history will remember what you loving did' things like the anti-gay propaganda of the 80s is seen in modern light, but it's just so loving bleak right now.

It would be heartening to see the tories get a battering from the QT audience, if it wasn't for the fact that the alternative is Labour and the negative response from that demographic is only going to make Sunak or his eventual replacement turn the big dials that say racism / crush the welfare state on them even further.

It's a funding black hole for tax payers, unlike of course the all-devouring black hole of profit from running it privately. It's like an extra quid per household a year to not have to spend five quid every time you want to go to the shops (and yes this includes car owners if you factor in things like park and ride).

Starbucks posted:In a decently insulated house air conditioning heats a room up faster than a radiator, and provides cooling in the summer. Our obsession with radiators is crap. One thing I heard is that new builds are apparently hell in the summer because the insulation is designed to keep heat in, but does nothing about stopping it building up. Same with UPVC windows, designed to let sunlight in to 'help heat rooms' but not conduct heat between the panes to let it back out again. Radiators are also annoying though because they get in the way of furniture. We have one huge radiator in the living room that makes one side of the room too hot, and the other side of the room barely noticeable, because the house we live in was flipped for a quick sale and was designed to look good, not actually be livable.
