Honestly, the BBC never report on protests, and the people behind the protests always get mad about it. They just aren’t newsworthy unless something happens besides the fact of a protest.

Essentially, this story is free advertising for the protest.

So are Irish conditions different from conditions over the sea in Wales, or…?

From what I can tell, the secret is rubber boots.

Linehan being attached to something isn’t a plus these days…

Just cook the chicken and eat it. You won’t notice the feathers.

As a counterpoint, I’d like to mention that people often scream “reading incomprehension” when actually, what they wrote was ambiguous or unclear.

Not saying you do this, just that I see this far more often than I see people misreading anything.

The word you’re probably thinking of is kichigai. But there are oceans of words that you can’t use on TV in Japan as I understand it, and there have been since the 70s.

m*nko begs to differ.

This reminds me of the not-very-edifying-at-all moment when “joey” became a universal term of abuse in UK playgrounds.

So like am I the only one[tm] who felt like time did pass, actually, while I was under? It was like being deeply asleep.

It’s so weird to me that you’re all put under for wisdom teeth. I’ve had three out with local and nobody even suggested I might need a general.

Isn’t it because they paralyse you and your lungs stop working?

I don’t remember a damn thing. One moment there was a mask over my face and I was being asked to count backwards from ten (I think I got to about 8?), the next I woke up very bleary with a sore throat.

For a long time I thought I woke in a large room with three rows of cots. It wasn’t until some years afterwards that I realised I never saw the room I awoke in.

I didn’t feel high at any point, but then I have ADHD and even being shot full of morphine by a paramedic (the previous week) didn’t get me high. I wuz robbed.

Actually, now you come to mention it…

I’ve been very lucky and haven’t come close to death (yet), but I have had some dream experiences that resembled NDEs.

I tried three times to control what I dreamed about. The dreams weren’t like dreams, is the best way I can put it - they were very short, very vivid, and clearly linked to the “intention” I’d requested. The second dream featured a pair of strangers trying to tell me something.

The last one, I went down a long tunnel (like a storm drain) and ran into people who, indeed, drove me out and told me I shouldn’t be there. After that, I wasn’t able to do it again.

Unsure if just weird dreams or if I actually got too close to something. The thing that makes me think there might be something in NDEs, tbh, is the stories palliative care nurses seem to have.

Not sure that atheism excludes belief in life after death, tbh. We’re all alive right now with no god, after all.

It’s more like a tiny minority of cis women think all trans people should be shot at dawn and they get all the press, and are the only ones permitted to be acknowledged as “true women” with rights and shit—ironically.

source, am woman who really doesn’t care where people piss and shit and thinks we can’t get evidence on whether trans people have advantages in sport or not unless we let them, y’know, do sport

I don’t wear much gold, but my glasses are gold-framed and I’m quite fond of them. They stand out in a way silver or titanium wouldn’t.

Because it keeps breaking down; because people are getting randomly banned for no reason; because the chance it has a future is essentially nil, because there’s essentially no abuse controls any more so if someone spams you out of the blue multiple times with CSAM discussion and then calls you a necrophile when you block them (as happened to me this week) you have no recourse; because you can only send ten DMs a day or some stupid number now; because “X” is silly and ugly and you’re cross about the cute bird…

and because Elon is a narcissistic fuckboy, natch.
