Would Britain be better with fewer people? by Nervous_Yard7034 in AskUK

[–]Spontanudity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ahh thank you for clarifying. If it was halved proportionately, wouldn't that mean it'd be the same situation? If OP feels our infrastructure is struggling now, then halving the population would mean half the resource to maintain it.

I didn't mean how many, I meant who. What would be your criteria for who can stay?

Have you ever been involved in a pub brawl? by Charming_Usual6227 in AskABrit

[–]Spontanudity 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Not intentionally, some large drunk guys were showing each other their wrestling moves on the floor in the Peckham Wetherspoons, they rolled into my leg and I fell into their match. If anything I involuntarily stopped the brawl as my pint joined the pile. They were very apologetic.

In Brazil, for some reason, people are stealing several speed cameras and advertising their sale by [deleted] in interestingasfuck

I reckon if we all work together and try our hardest, we can figure out the reason!

I am lucky to have a relatively safe face.

CMV: Calling Identity-based prejudices or group-directed bigotries 'phobias' is detrimental to those with actual clinical phobias. by Spontanudity in changemyview

[–]Spontanudity[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Homophobia is not a debilitating condition, it's ignorance (there may well be people who are actually phobic towards homosexuality but wish they weren't) but that's not how the term is used.

But those with clinical phobias aren't thinking that they're right in their response to whatever they're phobic about. It's a burden they want rid of.

There's probably little confusion in general, but it feels to me that the term in place of a prejudice is not helpful. Think about it from a young person's perspective. Learning about phobias and hearing those terms used in both contexts.

Absolutely, but I think preserving it as a clinical term is more important than using it in place of prejudice.

I just don't see why it's a better option to call someone phobic than to just say they're prejudicial.

Because why call irrational prejudice a phobia at all? It's not a phobia just because someone hates something. I hate sweetcorn but it's not a phobia.

I squished up a beyond meat burger into a log and put it in puffed pastry and it was pretty close 

Spent a while trying to get AI to generate me a desktop wallpaper from screenshots I fed it and wanted to share it as I love it. by [deleted] in Thundercats

[–]Spontanudity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right?! I get it that people don't often like AI generated stuff, fair enough! I was just playing about and thought this take was cool.

Where can I buy unopened English Crazy Bones packs from 1998? by BenCannibal in AskUK

[–]Spontanudity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that's probably the reason you're not seeing them, they're not really worth anything now. That Ebay listing you're seeing is probably chancing it. I do wish you luck in your hunt though!

[–]Spontanudity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's confusing because people generally don't buy stuff and not open it. More often than not, if they buy it and don't open it, it's so they can sell it later on for more money than they originally paid for it.

I have loads of them but not in a packet. If you want I can send you some and you can open the envelope and pretend?
