The problem with using 'female' is the cold, sterile quality to it. A woman can call herself it all she wants but since the full designation would be 'female human being' then it implies she's not a human being. Which, given she's a Tory, is true. She's a female lizard.

XMNN posted:I really hate how they're allowed to get away with studiously ignoring the possibility that cuts in funding might have even a tiny detrimental effect on the quality of services. Like, if they genuinely believe that there are benefits to slashing budgets that outweigh the costs then they should make that argument, but they never even acknowledge that it might make things even slightly worse and nobody ever questions them on it. Another one for the pile of capitalist hypocrisy mentioned earlier: "you've got to spend money to make money" only applies to plucky private investors.

Good news: the rate of inflation has ticked up from -0.1% to +0.1%.

feedmegin posted:The Opera browser had gestures as far back as 2001, it used to be one of their unique things compared to other browsers. Apple in general doesn't invent stuff; it refines what is already out there. I meant that they exist as an independent company partly because of them. And Opera had gestures (not the first to have gestures too) but they were not the multi touch pinch and what not else ones you can find on iOS. I mean technically there was CUDA before OpenCL too. This is all just stupid pedantry anyway.

Lol Dan Hodges is an odious little prick and I've no doubt many in the PLP mourn his leaving. Edit: Dan "David Cameron is the new voice of the centre left" Hodges leaves Labour. A huge blow to Corbyn.

Jess Phillips doesn't get that her saying that she'd try to remove Corbyn because she doesn't like him is the actual issue. Jeremy Corbyn didn't always vote with the party, but he didn't try to bring the party down either.

I'm not a huge fan of Jess Phillips but I don't think speaking in terms of "stabbing in the back" vs "stabbing in the front" in politics is a direct threat. She's a poo poo for being the kind of person that is doing far, far more harm than good to her party for selfish reasons but I don't really think she made a direct threat on Corbyn's life, given that backstabbing is a well known political metaphor, going back to the days of Ancient Greece.

Which is the objection. Pork Pie Hat posted:So Sharman was what, a lucky amateur? She's a chemist first and foremost as far as I know, that she went to space was sort of secondary to her chemistry career whereas I gather the guy going up today was trained intentionally as an astronaut and will be up there longer than a week, I assume?
