YES, IT IS AN INCREDIBLY SIMPLE DISH

NO, IT IS NOT NORMAL TO USE A PEPPERAMI INSTEAD OF MINCED MEAT

YES, THERE IS TOO MUCH SALT IN MY RECIPE

NO, I WON'T STOP SHARING IT

Nottingham is cool and I have had fun nights out there, but I have found very few areas of it that don't look like garbage. Doesn't help that I have a lovely view of the Broadmarsh car park demolition right now.

For context, this is functionally identical to Tories getting super excited about Corbyn winning the leadership contest. Only, y’know, morality-flipped (I feel that’s pretty safe to say even if you don’t like the US Democrats).

Even funnier is the Clinton campaign borrowed a strategy used by Claire McAskill, a Democrat from a generally-Republican state who literally trolled the GOP into nominating Todd "legitimate rape" Akin as their candidate so she would have an potentially-winnable senate election. Clinton's campaigned did the same to Trump assuming he would be the easiest to beat in the general election and welp

I'm sure there was a crazy right wing Christian who would've been worse than Trump, purely be dint of being ideologically driven and not quite as incompetent.

My one hope from Trump, similar to my one hope from Brexit, is that they end up neutralising some of the arguments that spawned them and end up radicalising (in a good way) a generation of left wing Millennials.

I mean part of the reason I think Farage now wants Brexit cancelled is that it has provoked an actual debate about the merits of immigration and other supposedly terrible EU scourges, and people are starting to discover that these things are a bit more nuanced than just closing the borders and suddenly everything is great.

Who was it said that America basically elects a king every four years? Cause that seems to be distressingly accurate. Like isn't the whole point of separation of powers that you don't want any one clique of people to just do whatever they like unchallenged?

I thought the point of separation of powers was that yes, they literally do elect a king for four years but the king is only supposed to have specific powers they can exercise that are independent from the legislature and the judiciary.

Consultants get a starting salary of under £80k after about 14 years training, and they have a punishing workload like everyone else in the NHS. I would never claim they are badly paid, but can we not lump doctors in with the idle rich? I'm a doctor, and while I have many privileges I don't think I have nearly enough money for the criminal justice system not to apply to me.

I can understand people being angry with the guy, but he didn't cause any physical harm and didn't act out of any malice towards the patient. He's clearly an arrogant prick who betrayed the trust of people under his care, but I think prison would be a little harsh. A hefty fine and community service seems reasonable to me.

Firstly, Just want to be clear that I'm not making GBS threads on all doctors or lumping them in with the idle rich, I really could have worded that better. I'm just crabby as poo poo today, and it was meant more as look at this capitalist loving shitshow we inhibit rather than HEY gently caress DOCTORS, so sorry for that.

I'm not so sure on the punishment, on one hand I think a fine and community service seems rather light, but on the other what are the options? prison? how's that going to help? how much is that going to cost?
