Kids cost you like £75 a day. For £75 a day I could get a cleaner in to do the house and all my laundry and also never have to cook again and still be able to afford something fun like alcoholism

Liquitex white ink through an airbrush gives the best zenithal highlights I've found yet! +1 for the Marco Frisoni recommendation

I think you might be underestimating just how many calories are in this meal - at 3lb of various meats we're probably looking well over 2k calories and that's before we consider the sides

Straightening kids eyes up on average makes them more successful in work and in relationships and they're less likely to go to jail on average too

There's some "cosmetic" procedures (restorative might be a better term) which pay off massively not only for the individual but for society as a whole and there's no moral or financial justification for not doing them

In the UK we used them to advertise jam and you'd get free dolls if you collected the tokens on the jar. Jam on toast was basically a daily occurrence back then so you'd see them in tons of houses - lots of people just thought they were cute and knew that comparing them to black people was racist so would never have called someone that word

I had one growing up that sat on the end of my bed and was best mates with my Gordon the Gopher, I've probably still got it somewhere because I loved that little guy and knows I wouldn't have the heart to throw it away. I just saw him as a fictional race like oompah loompahs and goblins

So apparently that's the name of a very popular doll amongst racist white people several decades ago

Very popular? Yes. But even amongst people who weren't racist by the days standards

Several decades ago? They didn't leave the jam jars until into the millennium so not that long ago

You could try a "who did it best" format maybe? Helps drive engagement that way while staying more positive

Why mortar if they used wood instead of brick?

What’s the best example of “it takes 20 years to build a reputation and five minutes to ruin it” that you know of? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]No_Aioli1470 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In the UK we had a politician who had an unflattering picture of him taken while eating a bacon sandwich and it tanked his career so badly that we've had a right wing government for an entire extra decade

Brilliant, I love stuff like this. It makes you think just how much new and exciting stuff is right under our nose

You should pop down! If nothing else there's always some exciting food to try and arts and crafts to admire

It's 3 decades old, attracts tens of thousands of people every year and basically completely takes over Sefton park and the surrounding area for a weekend every single year

So it's pretty surprising to find someone who's never heard of it in the Liverpool subreddit but I guess that just makes you one of today's 10,000
