@crochet_mom314 I just prefer the look of the man on the left. I haven't even thought about why, it's just instinct. The one on the right is very off putting
A kind reminder: The vagina is a muscular canal. At the top is the cervix, which connects directly to the uterus. The uterus connects to the fallopian tubes, which lead to the ovaries. That’s female reproductive anatomy. A made up hole is not a vagina. It’s a hole.
We've objected to plans to demolish 68–69 Fenchurch Street.
We believe this Edwardian building should be adapted, not demolished. The proposal would harm the character of the Lloyd's Avenue Conservation Area, and alternatives have not been properly explored.
If, like my household, yours contains zero people at risk of benefiting from folic acid supplementation, and non-zero people at risk of harm from it, the weekly shop is going to become even more of an obstacle course after December. So many family staples besides bread and breakfast cereals will contain folic acid.
And to those who say "you shouldn't be eating processed junk like this" I say two things:
1. Government and Big Food shouldn't be making shopping healthily so difficult. Government is supposed to serve us. Not every family has the time or money to cook everything from scratch, or research whether the ingredients the government says are safe really are;
and
2. Do you think they will stop at adding folic acid to flour and, therefore, processed food? Rice will be next. Then all pasta (currently durum wheat is exempt). Where will it all end? What other "completely harmless medicines" will they add, to which other staple foods? Statins in pies? Metformin in fizzy drinks? Bisoprolol in bacon?
One day the technocrats will come for your staple food of choice. If we lose this fight, your fight, over quinoa, or bulgur wheat, or organic free range quail's eggs, will be unwinnable.

@thecoastguy Definitely not for my family and our disabled child who will now have even less of the already pitiful protections due to Labour's awful new bill. Oh and we'll get taxed more as well for the privilege. What a total disaster labour have been!
@VinnieSull1van@BygoneBritain I think there's more to this than that. Working class people tried to keep as clean as they could to avoid infections which might warrant a dr visit which was too expensive for most. Middle class people were much more shambolic and messy, because they could afford to be!
@IsItAnyWonder1@DominicFrisby I scanned your post and thought, wow 50 is old....then remembered I'm 51 and can also sing along to this without words 🤣 Age is so weird!
@TomPaulieF@JeanHatchet If mine were at school now, I wouldn't send them in either. And didn't the last few years when it was very hot. It's the right thing to do
Jeremy Clarkson’s Farm show on Amazon is the most radicalizing piece of mainstream media I’ve ever seen
Just one example (bear with me):
Badgers became a protected species in Britain 40+ years ago.
The population has exploded and now frequently transmits tuberculosis to cows
But farmers can’t cull the badger population to protect their cattle because the government still considers them to be endangered
Instead of addressing the root cause, the UK has the most batshit testing regime for cattle
There’s no TB vaccine. So the cattle have to get tested. The vets administering the test have to measure welts on the cows neck. Whether a cow lives or dies comes down to a vet trying to discern 1mm on a caliper (reactive vs non reactive).
If a cow tests positive, the farm (already running on super thin margins) is quarantined and starts hemorrhaging money.
Jeremy Clarkson’s cow (pregnant with twins) has an inconclusive test so it’s separated from the herd. It receives a second inconclusive test so they have to kill it (before it can give birth to the twins).
Now here’s the kicker: the autopsy reveals no sign of TB. It was a healthy cow needlessly killed
So - silver lining the farm should be removed from quarantine, right? WRONG - it’s still under quarantine and has to keep testing and can’t sell its beef
Kafkaesque doesn’t even begin to describe how f’d up it is for British farmers
