Makes sense. Thanks

The fuck happened in Leicester East that it’s the sole Con gain in the country?

Does it need to be any quicker? It’s not really important to get the results in by 4am instead of 7am, surely?

Surely an oven that inherently steams everything it cooks is quite a different tool to a regular oven? It probably works well with breads and similar products, though, so I guess that’d work as a pizza oven

It’s mostly Macron’s own centrist coalition and the moderate right that have lost voters. The left is up compared to the last election. The question is whether or not the centrists will support the left as the left supported the centrists last time, since the left is now the bigger of the two factions. Together they have the votes to win

They’re not as bad as the Republicans, but given how they have been acting in recent years in particular it is definitely not an entirely unfair comparison. They’re ludicrously, dangerously angry at asylum seekers and trans people.

It is also worth noting that more Conservative MPs voted against same-sex marriage than for it, despite it being one of their own MPs that introduced it

Millennial. I do unabashedly love avocado toast and lattes and also can’t afford a house, so I’m hitting the stereotypes

Two of his advisors said that and then his spokesman said only statements made by Trump himself or authorised members of his campaign should be considered official

Nobody here hates you for talking about your problems. They dislike the way that you post as if you’re asking for advice and then only engage as if everyone is failing you because they haven’t given you a one-sentence miracle cure to your depression. The people being pre-emptively harsh on you here are doing so because they know that you’re FookReddit69 and Kimdracula, so they have seen the routine before

People are referencing those prior posts and OP is responding in kind, this is definitely the same person

IP over avian carriers, yes

I like this one, but to be fair the article it is summarising was never not going to be a little silly

See this clearly isn’t the actual meaning because this definition only applies to fiction. See, for example, Conservative party former Home Secretary of the UK Suella Braverman describing protestors opposing her anti-protest bill as the “tofu-eating wokerati”

I came here to suggest Bombino, who is Nigerien but part of the same Tuareg desert blues genre. That stuff is excellent

Beautiful! Playing mandolin is a weird experience for me as a guitar player. Like… I know how this all works, it looks familiar, but it’s upside down and everything is very close together. It’s a lovely sound though.

It feels kinda like how comic books bold words for emphasis, and just about as randomly applied

No worries! For all of the manifold problems of google, its reverse image search tool is really useful. That helped me find the original image

While I agree with you that I don’t think OP has correctly described what they’re actually thinking about, there is plenty of sex work that doesn’t involve actually having physical sex with anyone. Like a solo porn model, or erotic dancers

It seems like you mean a post-scarcity society rather than a currencyless one. Sex work done to earn a living is still done to earn a living if it’s in a society that distributes goods and services in another way. I’d hope that the sex worker in question is getting personal fulfilment from it, but unless their basic needs are covered regardless then it seems foolishly optimistic to assume that it’s the case

Not sure about that comment, since those pools really are at Sliema in Malta https://www.google.com/maps/place/Roman+baths/@35.9165797,14.5036778,73m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m14!1m7!3m6!1s0x130e453d17183bff:0x2f6d720c7897d7de!2sFond+Għadir+Beach!8m2!3d35.9155994!4d14.5047453!16s%2Fg%2F11c0r4z3k8!3m5!1s0x130e453d997aaaab:0x2aaf0dc1de0d774e!8m2!3d35.9165157!4d14.5038595!16s%2Fg%2F11sskr6_j9?entry=ttu

But according to the local council’s facebook page when it shared this photo (they didn’t take the photo), they were built during the British period https://www.facebook.com/story.php/?story_fbid=878845397617697&id=100064767334211&paipv=0&eav=AfYRGKX34jrDJ5AuxuFU5SHiG8WiLpg42yMEYXZDkFKFtbbZPeS2GXwntwik1u1PZkc&_rdr
