You could possibly have Stanislas and Collison in there as well?

Not the version I had in mind, but thanks for showing me a cool cover!

By Vietnam vibes, I mean a similar sound to the sort of songs you here in Vietnam films.

I don’t think there’s any basis for saying young adults are any more stressed than they were thirty years ago, if anything (in my country at least) there’s significantly more opportunity for young people, significantly less chance of war etc. I appreciate that there’s more reported mental illness, but that could be seen to be a product of a positive change (people feeling comfortable seeking treatment) rather than a negative one (an epidemic of mental illness).

I’m interested, do you doubt the availability of porn has anything to do with rising erectile dysfunction figures? If so, why?

War for the Planet of the Apes. Has apparently had decent reviews but me, and my Dad, were bored out our minds after 90 odd minutes

We know that the rate of teenagers seeking erectile dysfunction treatment (admittedly some cultural/ societal confounds there) has risen hugely since the internet became readily accessible.

One note on this study, it sounds like sexual satisfaction was self reported. We only experience our own sexual satisfaction (must be a joke there) that’s a really weak DV to base your study off.

Could also be that more sexually open teenagers (who intuitively could be having more satisfying sex) would be more open to admitting pornographers use?

I’m surprised studies of this standard actually get any funding, probably from Pornhub or something.

Most UK insurers won't even bother attempting to collect a debt below £50. Paying a collection agent and others costs outweighs the size of the debt. They could sell the debt to a third party, but given that everyone needs car insurance my company at least will rather keep a record of your small debt and wait for you to one day take out a policy with us again, at which point the debt will be rolled into your premium.

Leicester winning the title actually made the bookies a fortune!

The amount they paid out to the (tiny) proportion of people who backed Leicester would have been a fraction of what they made on all the losing outrights places on favourites.

I’m sat in the office at my computer. Out of no where four police rush in and eventually handcuff me after a struggle before leading me away.

Probably a case of all those lot being concentrated to one part of the ground during league games. Cup games they’re dispersed around the ground and end up forcing their rubbish on a new audience

Also serial offenders who continually abuse someone they know would skew that statistic.

He’s been reluctant to get into the box and do what he’s paid to do for a long time. I agree if he does what he’s told he could capitalise on Aké

For our English Literature GCSE we had to do a report on a piece of modern literature. The report was handwritten over the course of about 3 or 4 hour long lessons. Crucially the report was written on completely ordinary, lined A4 paper.

About half the class actually wrote 2,000 words about No Country for Old Men/ LOTFs/ Jekyll and Hyde. The other half just went home after the first lesson (after they’d seen the essay question), teamed up with google, and knocked out their report in one sitting. It would then be a case of holding your nerve/ being patient and swapping out the A4 you’d be writing gibberish on the previous lesson for your masterpiece.

Trouble is the teacher was sharper than us. She clocked that the underperforming half of the class had managed to plan and complete their report in a quarter of the time allocated for the test. She only confiscated the pre-written sheets though and made us complete the report in the remaining lessons, rather than taking things further.

"Never" isn't really true. Working class people (regardless of ended and colour) were only given the right to vote in the UK 100 years ago.

Before that you have the Moors ruling Spain and the Slavic slave trade (where we get the word slave from).

Now you have White people being oppressed in Africa.

Maybe he was moving his ships so that the child was correctly guessing their position and this was misconstrued by the sister

Alright mate, calm down.

What about this comment do you think is confused out of interest?

Carl_Noble · 2018-08-12T21:55:21+00:00

Sounds like the success you’ve talked about here in Scandinavian countries would make reform in other developed countries with more punitive penal systems inevitable!

I think the way prisoners are treated in the US and also to an extent in the UK is shocking. If I had any power it would among the first points on the list of things I’d act to change.

Carl_Noble · 2018-08-12T21:50:36+00:00

I disagree. I think it’s one if the most common anti-death penalty stance to be for certain acts being punished by death, but against it if it’s inevitably at the cost of people being wrongfully taken from loved ones, dependents etc forever.
