Solche Ideen könnte man vielleicht anstellen, wenn es nicht den Elefanten im Raum ME/CFS gäbe, wo präpandemisch Betroffene oft nicht einmal wussten, dass es das gibt, psychiatrisch behandelt wurden und trotzdem krank blieben.
So ist es aber schlicht Gaslighting.
Glamour, the magazine who last year named 7 men “Women of the Year”, is now telling women that what matters when giving birth is what they’re wearing. Meanwhile, women are facing a real crisis in maternity care across the NHS. These people are Exhausting.
This whole thread is now proving the point of protectiveness of the illness narrative!
I’m not saying you aren’t suffering. I’m saying these disorders have a deeper psychological origin and should be treated as such before it becomes your identity.
Would you like some toast before bed, asked Old Fox. Yes, please, said Pine Marten. Old Fox buttered several rounds & brewed a pot of lemon balm tea & they sat out in the garden under the lilac, watching the dark clouds over Pooksdown Hill. Storm's coming, said Old Fox, not long now.
TEN MEMBERS OF THE GAZA FLOTILLA LAND CONVOY WERE DETAINED BY LIBYAN MILITIAS 10 DAYS AGO, AND THEIR IMPRISONMENT WAS JUST EXTENDED BY LIBYA'S REPRESSIVE REGIME
No global outcry, no home nations with strongly worded condemnations, no media coverage, no daily campaigns…
It’s almost as if the boy cried wolf so many times that now it’s going to be ignored now that there is a real issue.
What I find truly poetic about hippos being one of the deadliest animals on Earth is that they’re herbivores. Completely plant-based. They have no interest in eating you, they just genuinely seem to hate you on a personal level, and I respect that.
@Jenny_1884@Nikki13687705 Alas, you'd have to wind the clock back to the inception of NI earning state pension and ensure the govt held this in a separate sovereign wealth fund.
State Pension has always been paid from current taxpayers receipts.
Also just for clarity, there are many in-work benefits.
Nicola Sturgeon faced heavy scrutiny over the weekend over her apparent blindness to that motorhome. Matters worsened when she and her husband somehow ended up trapped in Gordon Brown’s cave of eternal despair.
Spare a thought for the Scots. It can’t be easy.

Gandalf, whose true name is Olórin, is a Maia of the Ainur; in essence, an immortal spirit. During his battle with the Balrog in Moria, his physical body, his old man guise as an Istar, was destroyed, meaning what we call “death” for him was only the end of his physical form. His spirit was cast beyond time and space, outside the bounds of Arda.
At this point, it is not the Valar who intervene. Gandalf’s mission is not yet complete, and his sacrifice triggers a higher authority that surpasses even the Valar’s jurisdiction: Eru Ilúvatar himself. Eru calls him back from the Timeless Halls and sends him once again to Middle-earth.
For a Maia, taking physical form again requires great sacrifice and power. In this rebirth, Gandalf does not merely return; he is restored with even greater strength and elevated to leadership among the Istari. Taking the place of the fallen Saruman, he becomes Gandalf the White, now endowed with higher authority to complete his task.
His spirit is returned naked to the peak of Zirakzigil, where he is reborn anew. He is then found and rescued by Gwaihir the Eagle and carried to Lothlórien, where he is fully healed. This transformation marks him as no longer just a guide, but one of the direct instruments of divine will in the war against Sauron.
@peterstopcrime Nope, completely with you. He knew what he was doing and thought he could get away with it. Classic case of FAFO. Well done. I wish your husband had been a bit more overtly supportive though.
@archer_rs I made sure my child had swimming lessons so that by the time the school got round to it for PE in P6 he was so advanced they made him do endless laps during lessons because he could even do the butterfly.
@UtahFlatRanger@Blazmatic@skinthent Lol, the vast majority of urban USA is endless strip malls, and endless subdivisions with no local amenities. Y'all need to get in your car to drive 5 miles for a gallon of milk.
How do I know? I have American relatives/friends and have visited numerous times.
