Got to 100 and stopped.

So, yes.

Green was the tricky one.

There was enough mileage in the concept for 2 and a half decent films.

I absolutely refuse to do this 'a peanut is not a nut, it's a legume' shit.

Keep it for the biology class, don't bring it into the kitchen.

It's the only Batman film I liked.

Best Batmobile too.

Played the most iconic character in one of the greatest British TV dramas.

RIP.

When it involves using a person's title: Mr, Mrs, Dr, Professor, etc, it's more formal.

Yes.

I wasn't forced to do anything, and could stop if I wanted, but my parents wanted to give me the opportunity to try as many things as possible.

Yes.

Even my parents consider texting to be old fashioned now.

Any hot hatch that has had any aftermarket work.

Guarantee you'll find a total prick behind the wheel.

I haven't seen many people celebrating.

Mainly just the ridiculous people on the unwanted poster subreddit, and their allies.

Making things better were the words Heineken used. Imagine youre adrift at sea and your options are between a 25 pound weight and a 90 pound weight. The 25 pounds arent better, just more manageable.

So you would choose the one that is more manageable, right?

'Better' doesn't mean 'good', it means 'preferable to the alternative'. It's a relative term. However bad the Democrats are, they are better than the Republicans

I gave a link to the white house's page. And where he literally says he wants more cops. I swear even when I site what I say people still say I am lying .

I did not accuse you of lying, but of being misleading.

You state that Biden is giving more money to cops. What he has done is ask Congress for more money. Those are not the same thing.

You also gloss over the extremely positive things he wants to do with the money, such as gun reform.

Good luck with your efforts to get a less authoritarian leader than Biden elected.

LonelyStoner posted...

There is no vote for better.

'Better' is a relative term. It can mean 'less terrible'.

We cant stop now. My Safer America Plan calls on Congress to invest $37 billion to support law enforcement and crime prevention, including by funding 100,000 additional police officers for accountable community policing, investing $5 billion in community violence interventions, and enacting commonsense gun safety reforms such as a ban on assault weapons and high-capacity magazines and a universal background check requirement.

So what is actually happening is that Biden is asking Congress for money that will also fund community interventions and gun reform?

What are the chances of him getting it?

I know you would like to see Biden lose the election, but I do find your topic title a little misleading.

I remember this:

I haven't paid attention to British parties in a long time. Did the Whigs become Labour or Liberal Democrats? I'm guessing the later.

That happened in the 1850s, so I guess you haven't paid attention in a while.

Yes, virtually all British people have one.

I would bet dollars to donuts Hilary Cass was intentionally chosen for her views on providing gender affirming care to minors

No takers. UK governments don't set up enquiries unless they a) unavoidable, or b) they are fairly sure what the outcome will be.

This falls under b).

They say 'reasonably possible' to cover for events like emergencies or staffing issues where it may not be.

This at least won't happen. All beds are fully enclosed with privacy curtains on the wards. No one is undressed in view of others.

DnDer posted...

Huh.

Kinda sad, then. Wonder what happened to her.

Probably nothing.

Her views on trans issues weren't a factor when she was doing pioneering work with neurologically impaired children. Which is how she got her reputation as a top paediatrician.

People are capable of doing good things and bad things.

Sure but Im just giving context for why they are splitting the Tory vote.

Yeah. Sorry if I implied otherwise.

Last time we had a threat to split the right wing vote, Cameron's cowardice prompted him to offer the Brexit referendum. Hopefully Reform will just doom the Tories to electoral oblivion, rather than provoke another disaster (like an IEA backed Truss style extreme Tory party winning the next but one election because Labour can't sort out all the Tory shit in one term).

SHRlKE posted...

Im not a fan of reform whatsoever but like UKiP before them they are pretty much the only party seriously platforming on reducing immigration and not just playing it lip service. Its not hard to see why theyve had so much success.

They're also rabidly 'anti woke'. Always ready with a soundbite shedding tears over the new England kit, or hot cross buns without the cross.

Fuck 'em for the racist bigots they are.

C_Pain posted...

I still don't know what labour and tories even are. Brits and their damn weird terms lmao!

The Labour Party grew out of the Union movement. It's the party of the labour force.

'Tory' is an old Irish insult. The official name is 'Conservative', which is easy enough to understand.

I don't think anyone would argue that there shouldn't be more research.

Congratulations to Count Binface for getting 25,000 votes.

He campaigned on capping the price of croissants at 1.

@2:30. King Charles dissolves parliament. Can this actually happen?

Not only can it happen, it does happen. The Monarch is the one who dissolves Parliament.

However, they only do so on the say so of the Prime Minister. Doing it without that say so would result in a constitutional crisis which would almost certainly be the end of the Monarchy.

The Monarch has a lot of theoretical power, but the deal is that the Royal Family only gets to keep their position in exchange for not using it. That's been the way since the Restoration in the 17th Century.

You're thinking of when the Tories slashed the Met Police budget by 1bn.

Try to keep up with current events.

House is fairly secure with deadlocks and triple glazed windows.

If they can get through that though, I guess I die.

Corbyn lost my support (but not my vote) with his lukewarm opposition to Brexit.

Huh, that's an extremely interesting disease.

On the plus side - it's a genetically passed on disease, so if your family doesn't have it, you can't get the generic mutation that causes it, and like other Prion-based disease, you can be born without the gene, or the gene could never activate.

So, it's nothing to worry about unless your family has a history of it - in which case you probably ought to get tested for the gene yourself.

Between the Paraganglioma concern my wife had that runs in her family, and now this, I'm learning all sorts of things about genetic hiccup diseases like this in the past year.

Apparently there are 37 cases of it developing sporadically with no family history.

You're right, of course.

I wouldn't defend her report, but her qualifications and experience are on point.

No kidding? Can you explain the open of her wiki, then? I need some help grokking her honorific.

She was given an honorary position at the Evelina Hospital. It's not uncommon for academics/physicians to be given such positions when they retire from full time work. It's a reward for them and good for the hospital to have associations with prominent people in the field. You might serve on a committee or two, get invited to some nice dinners. That kind of thing.

She is a genuine, fully qualified paediatric specialist who has done good work in the past.

DnDer posted...

That Cass woman is an absolute quack.

Also, does "honorary" mean something different in the UK? Because if I ever went to someone who was an "honorary" doctor, instead of a real one, and no one told me (in the same way that BBC link calls her a pediatrician, but she's just an "honorary" one), I'd be extremely pissed.

She's a real doctor with a medical degree.

She is also a former President of the Royal College of Pediatrics and has done pioneering work for kids with neurodevelopment disorders.

Her qualifications are perfectly sound, even if her report is not.

Bullet hell is not for me.

Sounds interesting.

I'd give it a go to see how much the experience changed, and if it was for the better.

I always assumed they meant him to be hated.

Why else giving him such an irritating personality and annoying catchphrases?

Purple was due a homophones one.

Everyone's got to what's best for them.

Seems a bit unnecessary to assert your superiority on the way out though. Less convincing, even.

If it were just a random report, there would be no problem.

Unfortunately, it is an 'independent' report commissioned by the UK government, it's going to form the basis of UK healthcare policy for trans children and young people, regardless of who is in government.

Sadly, there is widespread indifference and ignorance (at best) towards the plight of trans people in the UK, and that is across the political spectrum.

CSCA33 posted...

More than a few people seem to think it's legitimate or want to treat it as something worth consideration. This is why they dress up their transphobia as some kind of report in the first place.

It's standard procedure in UK politics to give this kind of issue to an 'independent' inquiry. It gets it off the table for a long time, and then everyone can say, 'Hey, I'm not being transphobic. We had a proper report done by experts. We're just doing what they said. Do you really want us to ignore our own experts?'.
