  • The ideology around this is clear when you consider the government’s focus on getting people with long term mental health conditions into work, apparently without doing anything to improve mental health support.

    This is the bit that I don't get - help people improve their mental health and they'll go back to work. That should be the Labour approach. Unfortunately, they are going the brutal Tory way and just cutting help to force people to do it. The underlying assumption must be that they consider a lot of the people impacted by this to be abusing the system. It all stinks.

  • Here is a discussion on Tumblr equivalents.

  • I presume because he hadn't been charged with anything. Also one rule for the rich...

  • I saw a Rolls Royce Chelsea tractor (proper footballer's wives material - probably waa) the other day that was doing the school run. Money really can't buy taste.

    We should ban them because they are bad for people and the environment but also because they are naff.

  • Take that Yanks! How do you like them apples? Which are a healthier snack than Percy Pig sweets.

  • Sorry, English is not my first language, bit I thought the post is somewhat clear?

    English is my first language and it was clear to me.

  • I already mentioned that there are edge cases. Edge cases do not discredit foundational frameworks that define reality.

    But when you are trying to define or classify things it is the edge cases that are key. It is at the edges that we hope to find a clear divide between one set of things and another.

    Unfortunately, with sex chromosomes, their impact on development and that effect on performance it feels like the more we know the less we understand.

    International sporting bodies have huge resources and access to the best experts in the various fields and they can't come up with a good way to classify male and female. I could, at least, see the logic in their going for testosterone exposure during puberty as being a useful guide, although it is complex and rather arbitrary, but there are counter-arguments to that which suggest it isn't useful. So the sporting bodies seem to be falling back on chromosome testing, which is no guide at all to performance and seems to be favoured because it is easy to test for - like the drunk looking for his keys under a lamppost because the light was better there.

  • Can confirm. When we took over the running of feddit.uk migrating the images took forever as it was around 300GB.

  • Oopsie

    Or am I turning into Bizarro?

  • To be fair to them, this was the Duke of Edinburgh's (steering) wheelhouse and we have to cut whoever has taken over the job some slack, as he made accidenting look easier than it actually is.

  • Luckily, I'm with United Utilities who will only be raising bills by 32% each year for 5 years. Which is a bargain! I think.

  • Managed to save 13% on my energy bills and lock that in for 16 months. Now to crunch down on my broadband and mobile charges.

    Small beer compared to all the rises you have no control over but every little helps, I suppose.

  • I've had two effective pay cuts and am currently in negotiations for an actual one, which is looking like it won't happen.

  • I officially take back all the mean things I've said about the noble Prince Andrew and our, beyond reproach, Royal Family. And I definitely won't be posting to !abolishthemonarchy@feddit.uk again. In fact I never have, my account was hacked.

    Was that OK? Did I say enough? "You'll let me know?" That's hardly reassuring.
