Which is bullshit imo. If I were an MP I'd be slouching into Parliament in a band hoody.

It is something they can do with control of the council. It would please me very much if they still took them to court over the deselections while also doing this.

quote:

“David Cameron was always telling other heads of government that he would win and he rejected any help from EU countries,” she told Rusi. She said that if Cameron had warned the EU that he was going to lose, Europe would have come up with a new offer on migration. British ministers told her that they might win with as much as 60% of the vote.

Kim Darroch, the former British ambassador to Washington, recently said the message from the Pentagon was "…do not go down any further and expect to retain your current credibility".
Lmao.

The British army's sole purpose is to create the illusion of a coalition so the real risk the Americans are worried about is their own credibility. It looks a bit silly when your coalition partners all arrive in the same land rover.

Yeah it seems like David Cameron is the actual good guy in this story? The EU offered to throw migrants under the bus to stop brexit, but Cameron (like everyone) was confident enough that Remain would win that he told them no don't do that?

loving lol that the EU offer to shore up the vote was immigration rather than any of the systemic inequality pain machines though.

This is good and valid but some people don't feel like that and people who do and don't get value from "prettying themselves up" should respect each other. People are different, innit.


I'm not saying that people ITT are being disrespectful btw but I've seen it quite a lot on twitter etc. when people have complained about not being able to get a haircut or their nails done or whatever and I get it - I'm a total caveman most of the time, don't give a crap about my appearance or anything but for a lot of people it's self-care which has a big mental component as well as the physical. Plus it's just nice to be pampered once in a while - it's a little luxury that can help you relax and feel good about yourself.

It's no bother, glad I could help!

And absolutely on the bolded point. Let people be as they want to be. It's just that some bits of it help me more than I perhaps expected. Sorry for the late reply BTW.

I've 'worked from home' for almost 14 years now. I shower daily and wash my hair most days, shave my legs and all that stuff because it makes ME feel better even if I'm not going to see anyone. I don't wear makeup though. I have very sensitive skin and just about anything irritates it.

This is absolutely fair too.

Re contrapoints- I just don't like that every video has to be like 90 minutes long. Condense that poo poo I've got things to do.

Hard disagree, contra is amazing because she steelmans the 'opposing' view, doesn't cuck away from strongly supporting a stance but also admits if she's not sure about something, and it's all wrapped up in self-deprecating honesty and high aesthetic.

Like if we consider "Youtube video" a new medium then I'd call this the best example of that medium, it loving rules https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j1dJ8whOM8E

It can't really be condensed. If you want a video that just affirms your views in the most efficient time possible then honestly try mirror affirmations instead.

Also I don't mind Nat's comments about enby folks because it's clear she's a shitposter who got a way bigger audience than she expected and responded the way shitposters do.

Of course, I didn't expect her to be correct, just entertaining.

She's a garbage fire with poorly thought out opinions, and yet the ability to learn. And that would be the exact reason I keep watching.
