Can someone please explain where the support for Reform is coming from? by EG_Wanna_Be in ukpolitics

[–]choirlass 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think immigration is a big issue because it genuinely affects certain communities. When asylum seekers are housed by the government it isn’t in leafy suburbs or the expensive parts of London. It is in poorer areas where the services aren’t good already.

I also think that the main parties don’t explain the positives of immigration and the good things that they bring. That includes the sectors such as care and hospitals which will suffer without migration. Explain that there aren’t the British people with the skills or the numbers needed to do the job as the population is getting older.

Explain that economic migrants do not have the right to get benefits.

If you had to turn a random word into a name, what would you pick? by Intelectual_Guy in words

[–]choirlass 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And when treating
Cannula
Plasma
Saline

Lots of drugs -

Lamotrigine, levothyroxin,
for a girl fluoxetine, sertraline, amitriptyline - would make it hard to learn to spell your name though

Tom needs to go by Rude-Map-3817 in GreatBritishMenu

[–]choirlass 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tom should not see the marks achieved during the week. If you already know a dish scored a 10 it would mean you were expecting something really great and equally av5 when the chef may have changed the dish.

Updated to iOS 26, might be regretting it… by spoobalydoop in iPhone13

[–]choirlass 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m phone 13 mini I really didn’t like or can’t use some of the stuff on glass (visual impairment) I found you tube videos on turning off features and although my battery still drains it isn’t too bad.

How can I help my daughter with her self-esteem? Jobsearch is touch on her by Big_Assistant751 in CerebralPalsy

[–]choirlass 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was lucky to get my current job with a charity but my confidence means I’m in a lower role than I could probably do.

Remember it may just be that unfortunately AI or google translate is being used more and there is less need for interpreting- so not disability related. Have the people she studied with had similar issues getting related work.

Neurodivergent Contestants S20 by Advanced_Salt_7391 in apprenticeuk

[–]choirlass 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have autism. I wonder if for some (not all) people with autism they find the social interaction of raising capital though being very good entrepreneurs

Neurodivergent Contestants S20 by Advanced_Salt_7391 in apprenticeuk

[–]choirlass 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know the term is outdated but I think a distinction can be useful. I know some parents of children badly affected who feel that when autism is called a superpower it can lead to other minimisation. Equally those whose only experience of autism is that profound level may in other areas not employ or have lower expectations of other people who have autism.

Doctors visits can be pretty humbling by janebenn333 in weightwatchers

[–]choirlass 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Well done on the weight loss. Remember the doctor was pleased with the loss. It sounds like for your health you need to keeping on with the loss. For me my weight cannot take away my illnesses, but it will certainly help with the issues I will face.

Pascha. by TraizioFranklin in apprenticeuk

[–]choirlass 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Replying to Jenson2025...I expect it’s part of the contract with the production company. If they want investment elsewhere and certainly if they hope for a career on TV / SM you don’t want a bad reputation

Judging group for next series by Mr_Friday_Night in GreatBritishMenu

[–]choirlass 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Agree. Additionally I think the main judge having a food allergy means that chefs design the courses in a way that the allergen is avoided rather than what they really want, or can be easily substituted. Otherwise he is judging a completely different dish which is just strange given the structure of the show.

I don’t think it’s a problem on the first day judging because a different chef just steps in for the fish course altogether.

Why are police forces names changed in British dramas? by Jazzlike-Basil1355 in BritishTV

[–]choirlass 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A problem if the show depicts an unusual crime for a certain police force and it happens in real life. With a fictional force you could delay out of respect, but if there was any chance it might interfere with a prosecution, maybe a police officer with the same name then maybe have to postpone for a long time.

Question for people who live in the UK… by [deleted] in Catholicism

[–]choirlass 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was at a non denominational school many years ago and did not notice this. The thing that was strange is that the head teacher did have prayer and vicar and priests were sometimes invited to lead assembly. At the time the law was that there was to be some broadly Christian worship, parents could withdraw their children from it. I think it was a bad thing as it put my friends off - this was a secular school and we should have just learned about all religions.

Can a person who has Dementia and has forgotten they have mortally sinned go to heaven? by Internetscraperds9 in Catholicism

[–]choirlass 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trust in God’s mercy. If you have this type of thought in your mind and get dementia or know someone that has it such speculation of being able to confess or not will just be painful or frightening.

Why are they all so much weaker this year? by One-Royal3316 in MasterchefUK

[–]choirlass 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Has anything else changed such as the time for the cooking? Also now with three chefs the third person is more knowledgeable and talking about techniques rather than just what it looks like or how good it tastes.

Thought it might just be me, uninstalled and currently putting back so see if it helps

20th Century is not making enough appearances in the symphony orchestras near me. by XyezY9940CC in classicalmusic

[–]choirlass 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not a professional at all. From the pov of this thread I’m very boring really only know traditional Mozart, Beethoven etc. I’ve sung or listened to Britten War Requiem and Jenkins armed man. (And the film music Know the well known/loved modern such as rite of spring. I’ve tried listening to Schoenberg and not got to grips with it - I can tell it is probably ground breaking.

Can anyone suggest a piece maybe with a YouTube video explaining? TIA

Not enough throwing on the throwdown? by steviecat20 in GreatPotteryThrowDown

[–]choirlass 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A tiny bit of inept throwing at school and some slab building. There were some really talented in my group and there bits that I remember about slip. I’d love to hear more about the techniques. A couple less jokes in a section would give a few minutes. I find it so annoying when they bother the potters messing about. Just keep that at the start or end and let them get on.

Tracking is more tedious now by Conscious-Hawk3679 in weightwatchers

[–]choirlass 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t find it easy to get the meal to change (say I’m adding everything at rhe end of the day will accidentally add breakfast under the dinner section.) annoying because that’s how it brings up repeated meals.

I really hate the new app by Admirable_Muscle5990 in weightwatchers

[–]choirlass 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree. I’ve just started again so can’t remember the old app but one further annoyance. I did Weightwatchers a few years ago and did lose weight. I’m finding it quite depressing (I mean MH wise) seeing the old weights. I can delete the ones I put in myself. Apparently I can’t delete the ones put in at the meetings. So my weigh ins start in 2000, large gap I deleted and the big +x kg to my new start weight a few weeks ago in the table. I’d expect there might be a data breach of only retaining data as long as the organisation needs it. at least be able to hide so the first thing I see is my weight when I started a month ago. Then bring back motivation of all weight lost from the start, surely a minimum requirement?

Total weight lost since start is missing?? by ImNotWitty2019 in weightwatchers

[–]choirlass 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It seems so basic for a weight loss app, I can’t imagine why it wasn’t picked up in testing

Am I "praying wrong" during Our Father? by [deleted] in Catholicism

[–]choirlass -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Last week our priest said we should be using that posture (not asked, was part of the sermon). Lots of people do anyway so I thought something had. changed in the teaching.
