It's my opinion that a huge proportion of people that identify with Reform will get cold feet in the ballot box and decide to stick with what they know.

The steps are much better for the prevention of corrosion. Maybe the stairs don't look natural but the scarring from paths slipping down the side of the mountain looks much worse imho.

Scotland should feel hard done by. Even though they didn't get a huge amount of shots on target they were the better team and I'd say they were denied a penalty.

Of course not and that's not what they're saying. They're saying that trying to outrun a bad diet is never going to happen.

You could run a marathon every day and then still gain weight because you ate three birthday cakes, five burgers a bucket of fries and a whole pizza for breakfast , lunch and dinner.

Enablers hate admitting it, but weight is lost in the kitchen.

If you want to lose weight, eat less, if you want you can also get fit. That's the difference between being a healthy weight and being fit and healthy.

You don't have to exercise to lose weight, you don't even have to drastically change your diet.

Eat. Less.

You can lose weight on a diet of pizza, donuts and laying on the couch if you simply eat less calories than you burn.

You quite frankly sound like one of the many enablers that wants to make every excuse possible about why it's impossible to lose weight rather than taking responsibility for the countless poor eating decisions that lead to obesity. No one is born fat and no one wakes up fat, take responsibility.

It's like giving up smoking. A huge amount of smokers wish they didn't, but they don't stop until they say "enough is enough", draw a line under it and commit to quitting instead of making 101 excuses about how hard it is.

I hope you get to your "enough is enough" point soon.

It also adds to the HAES bullshit. Being obese is unhealthy, that's not up for debate.

Imagine if they had a smokers acceptance day where we all had to give them a pat on the back for damaging their lungs. It's so stupid.

No one has to accept or celebrate your lifestyle they just have to tolerate it.

And as you're saying, if you want to be super fat, good for you, but people are going to look and that's not their problem.

I thought you were talking about disposable vapes, if not, apologies.

Devils advocate:

If you're known as a guy that loves Pokémon cards and people keep gifting you Weedle's (one of the lowest powered and most common cards in the game), then after a while you're going to be like "thanks guys, I know you want to gift me and to not just throw the card away, but these are worth literally nothing to me because I already have much nicer examples and I don't need/want/have room for them, I'd just be throwing them away myself".

Definitely don't marry number 1 because then you won't get your hard earned tip.

Definitely evict number 3 because if she successfully sublet the room, then another hard working landlord might have gone hungry.

So by that logic, raise rent on 1, the tip is even bigger now! Marry number 2 by default and evict number 3 for trying to game free money out of the system, that's my job!

That's not a very nice thing to say about Jacob.

 

It's already well known at work that I don't just not like gore videos but that I hate them and actively avoid them.

A colleague sent me a video of a man being murdered by axe via WhatsApp to my personal phone on my lunch break. Before I opened it I asked if it was a video that I would want to see (because I know what sort of character he is), he implied it was fine.

Despite my suspicion I took his word and watched it. I immediately scolded him, he then made light of the situation, I told him that it wasn't funny and that if it ever happened again I would be making a formal complaint immediately.

A couple of minutes later, another colleague came in to the mess room, the guy that sent the video made fun of me for not liking the video in front of them. I told him that he was making fun of me and that I wasn't ok with that.

Do I have the right to not be sent murder videos? What would an employer do if I made a complaint?

Watching this video (probably 15 years ago) was the moment I realised I was left wing.

It wasn't a very long game but I had 0 inaccuracies, 0 mistakes and 0 blunders!

The London is the first opening I've learnt, I've been practicing it for a while now and I'm feeling like I'm getting good at it.

Maybe it's time to learn another opening. Any suggestions?

Hi All,

I accidentally ordered a double of this album, I'll send it to to one of you guys free of charge if you're willing to DM me your address (only willing to post to UK addresses).

First come first serve!

 

Hi,

I already have a good tool kit, drill, needle files etc, so I'm mainly looking for a kit that doesn't needlessly double up on tools that I already have but I'm here for your advice so I'll look at anything you recommend.

Ideally the kit would have enough bits and pieces that I could store it and keep it for future punctures also, but I could just order a multiple of single use kits if that is what you'd recommend.

Please let me know! Thanks.

 

Hi All,

I have a savings account for purpose of which is to save up for "new teeth". My own teeth are all rammed full of fillings, the bottom row are not straight to say the least and two on the top row have irremovable stains and one needs a root canal. I hate my teeth so I would like a much more permanent solution to all my problems, I've also always had confidence issues about my smile. (I didn't look after my teeth well when I was young, but that's another story)

My aim is to save for all on four or all on six permanent dentures type thing. As a route to get decent looking teeth with no pain or infection problems. I have a savings account which I put in to every month to save for this and I think it will take another three or four years until I can afford them.

Last night, my girlfriend of about two years who is currently moving in asked how much I had saved in it. We are a little tight on money right now, I work full-time but she has been struggling to get more than 9 hours a week that she has to travel quite far for. I took her question as a bit of a threat quite frankly, that if she knew that I had a fair amount saved, then I might seem like a tight arse for not being more generous with money situations. She does know that I hate my teeth and that I want to save to get them fixed.

I said "none of your business" and I do now regret the tone that I used.

The next morning she was in tears saying things like she couldn't understand why I would keep a secret like that.

I have expressed to her that I regret seeming quite abrasive about what was possibly a fully innocent question on her part and explained that I thought personal savings were a private matter. I wouldn't ask her how much her savings were for example.

I now understand that some couples have full financial transparency with eachother. But I for some reason feel quite uncomfortable about that right now. I currently pay all the bills which is fine, I've been paying for everything myself for the last eight years or so and she does want to start contributing a bit which is great. I don't have any secret debts or anything like that to hide.

I know I could have handled the situation better but I'm wondering if I'm an arsehole for not telling her how much savings I have for a purpose of which I'm already considering as spent money?

 

Hi all,

I've recently adopted an 8 year old ginger tom from the rescue centre. We don't know much of his history except for that his old owner passed away and no one else in the family was willing to take him.

We've have had him about 8 weeks and he does have some strange behaviour issues like being a little bit scratchy and bitey, but this mostly seems to be misdirected play and he has been improving whilst we try to be understanding and accommodating. Apart from that he's a lovely cat. He's quite clingy and always wants to know what you're up to!

Anyways, on to the question. Every know and then, when he is relaxing, not even asleep sometimes. He will launch him self out of his skin! It's obviously a fear reaction but I have no idea what sets him off. He recovers from this almost immediately and usually just starts relaxing again.

I wondered if anyone had any experience or advice of a cat that does this? I've had cats my whole life but I have never seen one do this before.

Quiet PC build (uk.pcpartpicker.com)

My first PC build in ten years, my current PC hardware is incompatible with the latest windows release. I'm aiming for quietness and reliability over power.

I'm quite excited to get my hands on some parts again. Let me know what you think! :D
