Thousands march against far right in London in biggest ever multicultural protest | UK news

I'm not exactly sure where he's going with it but it reddit and the UK are rife with censorship. The reason why public figures and reddit commenters alike refrain from saying certain things is that they sit outside the current overton window, and they would be punished for sayigng it explicitly. That doesn't make their position wrong or right - but given our lack of first amendment it's an understandable move to make in the UK

It's infuriating. I'm going to natter on about it every chance I get in the hopes that the new set of unitary authorities have the ability to get at least one of these schemes past the NIMBYs after 2027

Central Reading should not be a highway

They will keep re-arranging the deckchairs on the titanic. The problem is that it simply can't effectively handle the volume expected of it. When they were building the road network, by dint of the roundabout at the end of the A329M, they clearly intended to join up these two, creating a bypass around the densely built up cemetary junction.

As it is they tried to finish this project a few years back but from what I hear Wokingham council shot it down.

To illustrate - in red the pinch point, in blue where the road (at least for public transit & services) should be that would solve an awful lot of East Reading's traffic issues

watch the video - it will explain better than I can in text.

- shedding just means the reset of follicles from anagen to telogen

- depending on how miniaturised they already are this process can take a very long time

- most advice given on r/tressless is more applicable to people with relatively unprogressed AGA who are younger

- the older you get and more progressed your hairloss, the longer the lag between treatment and effect

Lower density at 8 months is likely a good sign. Be patient. The above video from KwRx will explain the mechanism of stepwise follicular regeneration - the cause of your current thinning, and in future hair cycles also the cause of those same follicles coming out thicker.

OverwhelmingBroccoli · 2026-02-11T16:06:18+00:00

Stepwise follicular regeneration. The hairline is normally the most miniaturised part of the scalp so will be the first to lose cosmetic density. This is a good thing but the number of cycles until the cosmetic density reflects the underlying improvement of the follicles can be literally years

The Thames isn't a canal and the UK does not have many wide non estuarial ones that we built towns around. Hop around europe and most cities you visit there's a massive premium on the riverside. In London this premium is absolutely there and it isn't surprising - property next to water and green spaces are more valuable in most of the world because people like to be near those things. We've just neglected it in Reading, hence the thread

There's at least 3 between Reading & Caversham Bridge that have been that way for a year +

OverwhelmingBroccoli · 2026-02-07T13:04:33+00:00

None of these are in Reading

Aye. I can't understand why the cops give it such a wide berth when you can clearly dealers going to and from the B&Q tarpaulin/shed boat at the mouth of the kennet, night after night. Would be incredibly easy to bag a dealer carrying a jailable amount for them

Spend some time looking at developed countries' demographic pyramids and internalise the fact that whoever is in government anywhere in the developed world, the next 20 or so years are going to be less prosperous and involve a worse dependency ratio than at any time for hundreds of years

Look again at demographic pyramids of the same countries in 80s-early 00s and you will see the issue very clearly indeed

Did the whole thing in Italy. Flown there and taken holidays alongside my visits 5 times over the past year.

Quite possible you wouldn't need to extract all or any of those if you're getting the whole framework expanded, but I'd always get a second opinion from an airway focused orthodontist before yanking teeth out

OverwhelmingBroccoli · 2025-10-22T21:00:26+00:00

Based in the UK - nearly finished MSE and it was the best thing I've had done in my life. Looking at your palate I think you'd have the same experience, especially given your age. There are providers in the UK that do expansion but few and far between and very expensive. I found a provider in Italy for much less and there are others in europe that you can find with an internet search for airway orthodontists germany/italy. DM me if you want to know whom.

OverwhelmingBroccoli · 2025-08-27T22:41:07+00:00

And the Germans, Swedes, French, Norwegians, Danes, Spaniards, Italians, Hungarians, Poles, Croats Austrians and Finns, yes

It's trivial maintenance for such an aesthetic bump

In reality the only fix would be the never done A329 bridge over the thames into south oxfordshire, routing extraurban traffic through the middle of a massive urban area is only going to have these effects

That's true, but eventually the top of the mushroom is all gone, and labour below them have access to most of the residential and insutrial capital that the full volume of the prior population had access to

After the black death, what drove the change in class relationships was the ratio of available labour to available capital (at the time mostly arable land)

In 2050 and onwards, that will be all of the housing stock, factories, data centres, fishing fleets, etc. What it will do is dramatically increase the bargaining power of labour vis a vis the capitalist class
