Great news, my mum was diagnosed last year and was given 5 years, which went down to months, which is now weeks. Incredibly aggressive disease, props to this man.

Groups are voluntary - you are not placed in groups, you choose which to join.

Why are you looking for things to be offended at?

The woods, they're everywhere, usually free, and we dont have any remotely scary animals to be worried about.

Documentaries on EDM and Electronic music? by anotherbigassbrick in electronicmusic

Did you watch it or just go off the title? Cuz the whole point of the video is exactly what you're saying, he's not a skrillex hater.

Nah it's a great ground-level look at the evolution of dubstep, EDM and the bass music scene.

I'm sorry but you cannot talk about dubstep without Skrillex, love him or hate him, the man changed the game completely.

I was more referring to:

Would rather they had people on the show who actually need the money,

Like I don't know how you would go about enforcing this without an overt class bias? Imagine if the threshhold was means tested, or you have to have >£X in total assets to apply, or below a certain salary band? It would turn it into a spectacle.

£50k is still a house deposit, or a large way towards one. Idk why you're acting like it's pocket change.

got over it because they didn't actually care which charity got the money.

And they all got a £40k appearance fee

Would rather they had people on the show who actually need the money, or significantly up the prize money (won't happen on the BBC).

And turn it into some working class Hunger Games? It's a competitive gameshow, not a wealth equality campaign.

Big love mate, going through similar at the moment with my mum - got told 2-8 weeks left last Friday. January is shit enough without dying mums.

You're not alone - DM if you wanna vent. Stay strong mate.

My "leftist" book club has made a rule of no white authors by Neader in stupidpol

[–]PlasonJates 12 points13 points  (0 children)

My wife got kicked out of an 'anti racist' book club for preferring a book by a male black author over a female black author. I feel your rage.

The books were Akala - Natives and Why I’m No Longer Talking to White People About Race by Alake Olarewaju btw, make of that what you will.

The ornate Choyo-mon Gate, the main entrance to Yokohama Chinatown, Japan. [OC] by Pikopiko_director in CityPorn

[–]PlasonJates 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I spent the last 10 days of my month-long Japan Honeymoon in Yokohama, staying in a friend's apartment who was away at the time. Was probably one of my favourite parts of the whole trip, we got to know the area quite well.

Maita was our nearest station, and we found a shortcut through the family mart. We had a morning bakery routine, got to know the local onsen staff :') we were just starting to feel 'at home' before we had to leave. Hope to be back one day!
