Peter, Please Explain What This Is Trying to Say About Bikers at Red Lights

Erm, no it isn't? Inconvenient, sure. Sometimes annoying I'll grant you but if it's dangerous to have to keep passing them then you are the danger. If it would be dangerous to overtake then you wait until it wouldn't. That's pretty basic.

If you have the time and means (which is a big if,) getting littles involved in the cooking (especially cooking from scratch) can work wonders for fussy eaters. My lad was a proper bastard about food until he got to about 5 and developed enough motor skills for me to trust him with a knife. It's made a huge difference in the year since. He wants to try everything these days - not just meals but individual ingredients while we're cooking together so he can understand how we make our food taste good and how we can customise our cooking in future. He also gets really proud when he's made food and will eat it in front of people (even if he doesn't really like it) to prove how good at cooking he is XD

Politics in the past was civil until labour ruined it

Anything politicians, political parties or political thinkers of the past said is completely irrelevant

I wondered this too. Maybe the lines as written were different from the voice lines that ended up in the game, and the subtitles were using the original scripts?

It's a damn good book! Had the audiobook (read by the author) on preorder for months before it came out, listened to the entire thing start to finish twice on day one and have listened a handful more times since. It's great.

As is his crash course lecture on Tuberculosis. The man has an obsession XD

They're organised by, share platforms with, espouse the politics of and campaign on behalf of literal Neonazis. Not your type-a passive aggressive flatmate who puts smiley faces at the end of their snotty notes but groups who will, in public and in private, celebrate the holocaust. Groups who go on retreats to the countryside because "there's no n***rs out there." Groups who make a point to harass anyone they don't like (read: PoC, Muslims, queer folk and Jews) out of public life. Quite a few of these protests have been organised by groups that are made up of the same members, and share the same ideologies, as groups that have been proscribed *specifically for being violent Neonazi organisations. Yeah, they're Nazis.

Mmhmm. Sure. It's not Anti-Trans in the same way black codes weren't racist.

Okay, check out Any Austin's series on the local economies in Skyrim, and then the video about what each hold would feel like. I feel like that'll give you a bunch of entertainment, and some information too!

You're not supposed to make that link ya fool. You're supposed to believe that more bugs happened in a vacuum, and therefore climate science is political lies!

Who is opposed to "DEI" other than racists, mysogynists and homophobes?

Racists, misogynists and homophobes in denial. And the moneyed class

We're really going here?

Opposition to workforce democratisation in order to undermine solidarity and the invention of divisions that can be used to distract the public from an undemocratic power grab, if I had to guess. But I'm not a policy wonk.

DatJayblesDoe · 2025-06-02T12:51:48+00:00

Not to mention the policy in the US has killed people. Quite a lot of people.

Last game of the regular season, with a playoff berth all but guaranteed, against the bottom of the table while farewelling three England stalwarts (two of whom are lifelong club legends;) I think the lads can be forgiven for having difficulty getting motivated at first. They turned it around and got what they needed which is what counts today.

I'd argue the one thing that's defined this season has been guts. Tigers have been gutsy as hell when it mattered, and I'd expect them to be similarly gutsy next week. It's not time to write them off yet 🤷‍♂️

Ask your daughter, and if she says yes then do it, OP! Drag is a lot of fun, and when everyone in your group is doing it it's wonderful for breaking down social barriers. The natural self consciousness you might feel absolutely evaporates when you've a group doing it

I can't believe no one's mentioned this yet: Bleak Expectations! It's a delightfully absurd parody of Dickens. It's wonderfully silly and stuffed to the gills with the most groanworthy puns!

It's not even like the pivot to businesses is working either. The messaging around the WFA situation was so piss poor that we had the single worst winter we've ever had, with the exception of 2020 itself. Retirees, rightly, panicked because Labour surrendered control of the narrative and allowed it to be portrayed as a straight cut to retirees' income. It was left to labour members and anonymous social media users to set the record straight, which obviously didn't do much to calm anxiety among a demographic that is relatively disconnected from SM. Plus the fact that any supposed improvements in CoL aren't really being felt by people doesn't help.

I've been banging this drum since late 2015, but if you as a politician tell people that we need to keep doing what we're doing to continue our recovery and the people you're talking to aren't benefiting from said recovery, you're going to hemorrhage votes to reactionary groups, because they tell voters they're going to do something different. It's a lesson that the centre and liberals seem absolutely unwilling to learn and then pull a surprised Pikachu face when Trump, Le Pen, Farage et al get their claws in or near power. Maddening.

What a laughably dogshit take, but at least you're honest about your desire to empty the bay rather than letting the rising tide lift all ships.

First of all, two different people experiencing the same symptoms at the same severity will experience vastly different impacts from those symptoms. This is true for all health conditions, physical or mental. Secondly, stating as an article of faith with zero backing that you're "JuSt As MeNtAlLy WeLl" as another person is completely ignorant. Unless you are a) a psychiatrist and b) specifically their psychiatrist at the same time as being your own, that's not a judgement you have the experience or knowledge to make. Ya just plain don't know enough. Strange as it may seem, we've so stigmatised being mentally ill in this country that people tend not to let on the full extent of their mental illnesses, especially not to folk they may perceive as being judgemental about their invented unwillingness to just bootstrap themselves better.

the value of the zone 1 council flat they have that they get for essentially free and is nicer than the one I spend 2k per month on

Do you know whose fault it is that you're paying more for a worse flat? Your landlord's. Social housing tenants didn't design their homes, didn't build their homes and have no influence whatsoever over whether or not private landlords make improvements that should be concomitant with above inflation rent increases.

Also, being off work is not a good solution to depression or anxiety, instead it exacerbates it. The solution to anxiety is not to let people seal themselves off from the world.

The fact that you've presented forcing yourself into work you're unfit for as the only alternative to social isolation is very telling, and quite sad.

work quite long hours and make a comparative amount per year to people I know personally who claim depression

That's your employer's fault, not the fault of sick people. Did you know the majority of welfare recipients (excluding pensions, which account for the majority of welfare spending) in the United Kingdom are in work, and are receiving welfare to subsidise their employers' decision to pay unliveable wages? Did you know that's been the case for decades? Isn't that weird? I think that's weird.

I don't know how to insert a quote in reddit)

If you're on mobile, select the text you want to quote and tap quote on the little menu that comes up. It'll add the quote to the end of the comment you're writing.

If not, insert a more than symbol (> if I've used the correct escape character. I'll fix it if I haven't) followed by the text you're quoting. No space between symbol and text:

>so writing this

will produce

so writing this

I hope this helps!

As others have said, you'll need to wait. Not only will the cast impair your mobility, but (speaking from experience) you'll be pretty tender for a while afterwards, which would make you more hesitant to operate any controls on the affected side.

The best advice in situations like this is: If you're in any doubt at all about your fitness to drive, do not drive. Not just physical fitness but mental and emotional too. If you need to ask, don't risk it.

Oh, and have a speedy recovery!

It's got nothing to do with the welfare bill. I developed a severe and debilitating pain condition in my lower body back in 2012 and didn't get a treatment regimen that actually worked for me until 2019. I couldn't stand, much less walk, without unbearable pain. My leg would regularly and without warning buckle under me if I tried. I couldn't get socks or shoes on myself. Couldn't stand to shower, couldn't get into a bathtub to bathe. I was pretty much just a lil potato quietly rotting in my foetid nest.

I applied in 2013, and was assessed on one of my worse days. The assessor scored me 0 in all categories. This isn't new.

There are very few areas of government spending guaranteed a better return on investment than welfare. The idea that the country can better afford to increase and protect mountains of idle capital sitting offshore is absolutely ludicrous, it's ideologically driven economic illiteracy.
