| Trialia 07/08/19 12:55:20 PM #8 | captpackrat posted... Trialia posted...None of those options fit my green-top semi-skimmed. Not quite. Whole milk is 3.6% here, about 3.25% in the US, and our semi-skimmed is about 1.5 to 1.8% (skimmed being 0.3%). Semi-skimmed is the most popular kind of milk in the UK, actually, by a margin of about 36%. Most people I know find 1% & skimmed too thin-tasting to drink unless they're on a diet - only about 6% of Brits ever even buy skimmed milk in a given year - though why they taste so noticeably different - and to me they do - I really couldn't say. --- Trialia ~ unfaithful-mirror.net PSN: Trialia_X, Xaedere (100%) | XBL: trialia, Noquelle (100%) |

KeijiMaedaTiger posted...Zeus posted...The US doesn't have space for good faith applicants with all of the people it has mooching off the system. Like I've said before, my brother used to live in an apartment building where maybe 2/3s the residents were on Section-8, with many having off-book incomes including dealing drugs right in the building. See, this is the problem. If the situation is anywhere near what it is over here, the general public believe there are way more "moochers" than there really are. Here, that's definitely the case - roughly 95 to 98% of calls to the welfare fraud line have proved to be malicious or mistaken (and largely malicious). Not only that, but the amount of money that would be paid out if everyone eligible applied for the benefits they could get is higher, for this country, than the amount currently being paid out to genuine and false claimants alike, because so many people who need the help are discouraged from applying because of the stigma that the government, media & general public between them have created about welfare recipients, and because the process has been deliberately made especially difficult for anybody who has the slightest problem applying unaided (which is most people, because after all, the benefit is there for people who are sick or disabled, and often both!). If your family can afford to support you, good luck to you. I wouldn't go through the process if I'd had a choice (I didn't - all my family have the same genetic & inherited disability, unluckily for us since it's of 50% heritability). It's a mental and emotional grinder, frankly. As for people with off-book incomes, given how little many people actually get in disability allowance, some struggle to survive without finding ways to either cut corners or make extra. I don't necessarily blame them for that, depending on what it is that they're doing. Mostly, I blame the government for not being willing to make the amount enough to live on, here at least. I don't know how much you get in the US, but here the local authority want fully half of mine just to cover my 9 hours of basic and low-quality home-care per week, which makes getting by very difficult. If what you believe is that they're not disabled at all, my guess is that you haven't a lot of experience with just what it takes to get through even the application process, let alone actually end up getting SSDI or PIP. Most of them probably don't want to talk about whatever condition they claimed for, and frankly I don't mention all of mine to my neighbours, either. But the fraud & error rate for PIP in the UK is less than 2% (even by the government's own figures, & they have incentive to make it look as bad as they can). --- Trialia ~ unfaithful-mirror.net PSN: Trialia_X, Xaedere (100%) | XBL: trialia, Noquelle (100%) |

| Trialia 07/07/19 8:15:17 AM #9 | ESMWjot posted... Especially ones you consider attractive? Hahaha no. As I am a gamer (& a qualified web & graphic designer + freelance proof-reader & editor) who can in some wise be considered female (by sex if not by gender, as I'm non-binary), and the sibling of a female gamer, I often interact with geek groups/culture in my area & enjoy that. That being the case, I'm acquainted with plenty of attractive women (both objectively attractive & specifically attractive to me) who are part of the groups or know people who are. (I even taught a session on crafting basic jewellery at the last local Girl Geeks BarCamp I attended, that was fun & attracted quite a few femme participants...) Unfortunately for me, like the composition of the wider population, so many are hetero and/or aren't polyamorous. Sigh. ... As for this "arguments on both sides" rubbish though, why do you guys seem to expect a higher proportion of women in the gaming community to be physically attractive, whether to you or in general, than you seem to expect of the population at large? If you're attracted to say, 15% of women who commute using the same bus you take, or whatever, why complain when you find 15% or less of women local to you who also play video games to be of your physical type or whatever? It's a mixture of probability theory & profound silliness. Not to mention ego, because gods forbid the women you find hot not be attracted to you in return... *smh* No, don't get me started, I might start screaming and I need my sleep.

Even though I would have gotten a free visit or two if the mental ward had a punch card reward system. *smh* See, this is what I don't get about the US disability system. The UK system is nothing short of awful for the most part (deliberately so, because the govt want as few people claiming as possible), but having been admitted to the mental health unit or sectioned is damn near a "gimme" for at least the lowest rate of daily living support. You'd struggle if you weren't on meds or anything, but being sectioned is something they can't whitewash & their previous screwups have led them to be a lot more cautious in accepting people who might potentially be a risk to others (which is basically how they view being sectioned), in my experience. *smh* N/m.

Well, the single most expensive item in my home (that isn't part of the fittings installed by the landlord, I've no clue what the boiler etc cost) is my present electric wheelchair, a Sunrise Medical Salsa R-squared model - nicknamed "Ripley" (ask my brother!) - which has segmented powered tilt, Jay custom back for spinal support, padded calf support, padded & adjustable winged headrest, and swing-out footplates. All in all, she cost something around 6,500, brand new. I don't know the precise figure because, mercifully(!), my local NHS mobility centre funded it for me. I'd never have been able to afford it without that! My first powerchair was a secondhand Invacare Harrier Plus I found on eBay, and even that cost me a cool 650. That's one of the things that frustrates me most about needing a powerchair: people with mobility needs are essentially a captive market, so manufacturers rip us off for whatever figure they like, with absolute impunity. Why spend so much on my expensive item? Well, in this case I'd've thought the answer fairly obvious! =P --- Trialia ~ unfaithful-mirror.net PSN: Trialia_X, Xaedere (100%) | XBL: trialia, Noquelle (100%) |

You're right, though: shipping costs have basically demolished the book-swapping sites I used to use because now it costs more to mail even a mass-market paperback than it does to buy a brand new copy, for most books, which defeats half the purpose of swapping instead of buying new copies. :( It's an eco nightmare, and frankly no postal service should be allowed to rip off customers the way Royal Mail, USPS & many others do. --- Trialia ~ unfaithful-mirror.net PSN: Trialia_X, Xaedere (100%) | XBL: trialia, Noquelle (100%) |

It helps that I sleep on my living room couch anyway, and have a tendency to get through my grinding in games while I'm sort of half-awake. ;D Not excluding sleep, my longest gaming run was 52 hours.

| Trialia 06/14/19 5:11:26 AM #31 | FrozenBananas posted... If this topic is an example of anything, it shows that literally everyone has their own opinion and not a single FF is better than another. That's mostly true. Some are of objectively better quality, in some ways - graphics, of course. But if regarded as samples of the time at which they were made, they're interesting even if you don't play them. I played my first DR games when I was twelve (VII, & shortly after, VIII). I've pretty much been hooked ever since, though I wasn't keen on VII to begin with & it's still among my less preferred replays. The only one I haven't been interested in playing, even including the MMOs which just aren't so much my thing, is XV. (And that seems to have been proved reasonable in the time since its release for more than just my original reasons.) I'd say my top 3 in terms of gameplay, narrative & characters are probably V, IX and XII. I'm currently working on getting the platinum for XIII... It really is a decide-for-yourself thing, but most people who like JRPGs at all agree the FF games are, as a series, definitely among the better of the genre. --- Trialia ~ unfaithful-mirror.net PSN: Trialia_X, Xaedere (100%) | XBL: trialia, Noquelle (100%) |

| Trialia 06/11/19 6:54:14 AM #31 | _AdjI_ posted... OhhhJa posted..._AdjI_ posted...It's not really an age thing. It's more a matter of whether or not they feel they've lived enough of a life and can go happily. Dying before that is sad because you feel like they didn't get to finish living. Well, quite. I get frustrated sometimes with the "western" way of thinking about death as something to be evaded at all cost, no matter how old you are. I suppose it may be partly to do with how few people who think that way truly believe in any form of reincarnation, but. (I'm a Gaia-theorist, personally, & that ties into how I think of it.) I had a friend who completed suicide at just 17, whose life was so clearly and painfully cut short before they'd really had a chance at achieving happiness and getting beyond the pain, but I also had a friend who passed away from terminal illness in their 30s who, when in hospice approaching the end, felt like they were happy with going, that they'd set free all their remaining ties to the world and were no longer sad to leave it, they were looking forward to the next step and to finding out if there's anything after. So it really does depend very much on the individual and their approach to both life and death. For my part... I'm in pain every day. I like being alive, on the whole, but I don't have the same kind of dread of my own death that so many people around me seem to have. I think it does have a lot to do with my beliefs and how many of my loved ones have already died in so many different ways. I'd probably be at peace with it, nowadays, but I wouldn't seek it out. --- Trialia ~ unfaithful-mirror.net PSN: Trialia_X, Xaedere (100%) | XBL: trialia, Noquelle (100%) |

| Topic | My cyan/light blue wig comes today!!!! |
| Trialia 06/07/19 5:54:23 AM #24 | wolfy42 posted... Cool! I like that color better then mine actually, and it also leaves your face/forehead open, mine is the same length all the way around so I have to move it to the side to see. It's cool, but uncomfortable, and hard to wear. Well, you can trim wigs... I'd possibly think about taking it to a shop that sells them to ask them to do it, though. They might ask you to pay a nominal charge for it, but from what you say it could be worth it. And thank you! I really should take more wig pictures... I have a beautiful knee-length Gothic-Lolita-style one somewhere here that's about the same colour as Lightning's hair, and so soft you'd believe it was real to touch it... --- Trialia ~ unfaithful-mirror.net PSN: Trialia_X, Xaedere (100%) | XBL: trialia, Noquelle (100%) |

| Topic | Transgenders in sports: a poll |
| Trialia 06/07/19 5:48:28 AM #72 | Ye gods, the biological ignorance of this thread. Also, I'm non-binary, if we're doing the "full disclosure to asshats" deal. I know what's offensive and what isn't. This thread is reminding me very clearly just why my ignore list is topped out. I do wish the ignore function still applied in instances where people on it are being quoted. "Transgenders" is neither accurate nor polite as a term. Just because you're lazy and don't care to acknowledge that we are all people and that you would not appreciate being called "cisgenders" if anybody did that, doesn't give you a free pass to act like a prat without consequence. As for its being "accepted in [...] the trans community", just to clarify, are you trans yourself? I have already said I'm gender-nonconforming, and I've never once seen that word mentioned among my friends & acquaintances when it wasn't someone objecting to it. --- Trialia ~ unfaithful-mirror.net PSN: Trialia_X, Xaedere (100%) | XBL: trialia, Noquelle (100%) |
| Topic | Actress's anal cancer linked to her husband (PSA announcement) |
| Trialia 06/07/19 5:39:25 AM #30 | Here in the UK it's become pretty much routine to offer girls the HPV vaccine, usually done through their secondary school at age 12, without charge - the NHS usually absorb all the costs of any kind of medical treatment for anyone 16 or under, or up to 19 if still in full-time education. (The routine alters slightly for trans people, of course, but usually if you have a vag you'll be offered it whatever your gender identity). Most people in this country with vaginas at least know HPV can cause cervical cancer, & we get routinely tested for it during Pap smears (we just call them "smear tests" here) every 3 to 5 years (they alter the frequency of reminders based on age as it's a lot less likely you'll get certain kinds of gynaecological cancers after menopause). We don't have to pay for those either. There are reasons our childhood and maternal mortality rates are so much lower than those in the US, and this is one of them. :( --- Trialia ~ unfaithful-mirror.net PSN: Trialia_X, Xaedere (100%) | XBL: trialia, Noquelle (100%) |
