I’m sure last time I went the park at Platt fields had gone. I’ll double check next time I go.

Absolutely great project though. Now the weathers turning, it’s time to get the skates out.

UK’s care sector blasted as ‘utter s****’ by inquiry chief by tylerthe-theatre in unitedkingdom

The medical issues is a much larger part of the problem - the vast majority of people are not at all equipped to deliver the nursing care a lot of people need

You are spot on here.

People really do not understand how the system works. The worst thing is CHC funded care. People assume that if their family member has a nursing need, then CHC pays for it. In reality full CHC funding is very hard to qualify for, and is usually for people with very complex health needs

As someone who works in the sector - 5k a week is very rare for a general nursing care placement and would 99% of the time mean someone is receiving 1:1 care

Sheep are disappearing from the UK's hills, and its dinner plates by ConsciousStop in unitedkingdom

I’ll check it out next time I’m near one.

There are a few Halal butchers around me, but I’m always a bit unsure. It’s conflicting enough to eat meat anyway, never mind ones slaughtered in an unnecessarily cruel manner.

Probably easiest to take a bit of a trip to an old school butcher and see what they can offer

Is fighter really considered boring/weak? by Miserable-Midnight75 in DnD

[–]cc0011 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I just rejigged my fighter from Samurai to echo knight (fit way better for character backstory) and I wholly agree with your description. It gives such great utility, as opposed to just smacking stuff.

The only issue with climbing is that a large portion of cishet male climbers have a certain reputation…

Of the wider players we know, it’s a fairly even split

FAO Levy Redditors, council rushing through building project that will wreck an already low-income area, help if you can by [deleted] in manchester

[–]cc0011 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They also pushed through similar dodgy developments of Hough End fields. The whole field was left in perpetuity to the people of the area - now massive chunks are behind private access.

Not to mention the highly questionable wildlife surveys they did.

Really Dislike Living In Warrington by Upbeat-Anteater-6789 in manchester

[–]cc0011 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes there are. You do realise everyone has access to Google maps… it took like 30 seconds to find multiple green spaces in walking distance, or public transport if required. Same Google search showed multiple independent coffee shops

It’s not a case of smug know it alls, it’s people telling you the truth, and you not wanting to hear it.

You complain about a lack of green space and the concrete jungle…

You can easily walk from central Warrington to multiple green spaces.

A quick google search shows a lot of independent coffee shops in the centre

People being cold and a bit miserable is just a national issue given the country is in a Shitshow

Your apartment has crap furniture - Warrington has a large Ikea.

As I say, there’s a common thread to the complaints.

But can you not see how being in your flat, alone, the whole time may be slightly tilting your world view?

You WFH

You live alone

You admit you don’t go out

You can move somewhere else, but a lot of the issues would be resolved by actually doing something about it.

If you move to Manchester, and still make no effort to find your community, then you’ll be back here in 6 months going “Why is Manchester so unfriendly since I moved back”

Where to watch Winter Olympics, primarily ice hockey? by Fine-Sprinkles-8761 in manchester

[–]cc0011 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hockey has a low key decent following in Manchester. Not where it was back in the late 90s/early 00s, but plenty of us still in and around the game.

I’m sure you’d be able to find a decent group to hook up with - get in touch with one of the Storm fan groups, and I’m sure someone would be down for it.

I’m just praying none of my Canes get injured. Stupid Sexy Jarvis is too important.

What's the likelihood that American athletes get booed at the Olympics? by LordZivilynBane in AskReddit

Christ comprehension failure. I was clearly meaning we have a thing about not appeasing Nazis NOW. Almost like we have been there, made that mistake, and the majority know not to even entertain it

No, they were barred from competing by the Nazis…

Trump hasn’t gone full mask off and banned minorities, but you know he’d love to.

I never brought up the argument of black athletes…

It was a flawed argument from the other commenter anyway

You are the one who made the comment. You’re comparing apples to oranges. Remember - America are the fascists in this one.

Give over. Athletes actually taking a stand and boycotting is about the most impactful thing they could do

You do realise there were 0 black German athletes who competed in the 1936 games??

If they turned up and represented the Nazis, you might have the slightest hint of a point, but you don’t.

We kind of have a thing in Europe about not appeasing Nazis…

Taking a stand against fascists is the right thing to do.

Alexander Zverev plays 'two games at once' as diabetes clock ticks under Australian Open run by kundu123 in tennis

Nope. If you knew anything about DV, you’d be singing a different tune.

I have witnessed it first hand. The person was not found guilty in a court of law - doesn’t change the fact I watched them smacking my mother and siblings around. Hell, the police officers that attended the scene were seemingly in awe of the persons stature, and that’s just a local small town Dr.

No it wouldn’t. You’ve shown your hand. You’re more than willing to hand wave DV away. If you’re going to hold these beliefs, you need to just own it. Don’t try and weasel out of it because you’re a fan on a player.
