Solar panels providing shade to grazing animals and crops is a mutual win, not the loss you make it out to be. Search for “the trampolining effect”

I mean I think it happened to all of us. I used to cycle 30km a day before COVID, and then once work became fully remote, I just started hibernating for winter and never stopped.
Also a fat bastard, but I live in the hope that it’s nothing that a gym can’t fix. Here’s to 2026, friend!

I do NOT buy cereal for this reason. I have no restraint. Whether it be Bran Flakes (lovely), Special K (mmm!), or Crunchy Nut (oooh my god!), I will scarf the entire box down with milk in about an hour whilst watching cartoons.
So I don’t buy it. I know what I’m like. Thank god I never took up smoking.

I’ve got a cousin like you – football club all day every day. Ate like a wolf and ran it all off within an hour.
Then he quit football and chonked up because he didn’t know how to reduce his food intake

That’s pretty much what she said in the video. I have mixed feelings about reviving languages that had been dead more than a century, as I get strange nationalist tingles at the back of my neck.
But if they’re doing it for fun, then that’s fine

I was there for the 7/7, and have to admit, did not notice any particular shift in attitude towards indians/pakistanis. Maybe I was too young and just not looking, but I felt that the media largely shifted the blame to the actions of a few extremists instead of a culture as a whole.
I remember the rhetoric around 9/11 being about culture, and saw the effects of that in the US but not so much in the UK. Again, maybe I wasn’t really looking, but I also feel that the media was just a bit more rational back then.
I’m also not denying that people of non-white backgrounds facing discrimination, as I’ve felt it myself. I just felt it way waay more in Germany.

I keep trying to match it to any language that I know, and just draw a blank. Celtic dialects(which I think this is?) broke off about 300 years earlier from the main Indo-European branch than Germanic dialects did, and the divide is real.
I wonder if Irish/Scottish/Gaelic speakers can pick out anything
- Comment on Alton Towers bans people with anxiety from using disability pass 4 days ago:
She definitely spots more problems in migrant families than native ones because the native ones have better support networks (family/grandparents, etc) to fall back on in hard times. These factors readily confound hand-in-hand.
In terms of her own prejudice, she herself came to the UK as a migrant in the 80s from a third world country and more than understands their plight as well as their mindset.
- Comment on Alton Towers bans people with anxiety from using disability pass 4 days ago:
She mentions their level of english, not their ethnicity. I think for her its more the contrast of how savvy they are navigating the system despite their seeming inability to converse with it
- Comment on Alton Towers bans people with anxiety from using disability pass 4 days ago:
I don’t know what to say other than the anecdote I gave above after living in Germany for a decade
- Comment on Alton Towers bans people with anxiety from using disability pass 4 days ago:
It’s not though. All the major cities have cultural hubs and communities where migrants can find their place amongst their brethren. It used to be one of our strengths.
Compare that to Germany where even the Turks and Italians who have lived there for generations are still seen as oddities to be frowned on.
- Comment on Alton Towers bans people with anxiety from using disability pass 4 days ago:
She’s seeing people who have paid taxes here not reaping the benefits of the social welfare they have paid into, whilst dealing with the disconnect of seeing others who seem to be dodging taxes altogether reaping more benefits.
It’s a hard pill for her to swallow, as someone who always did things by the books.
I’ve told her billionaries operate under the same modus operandi, but that does little to assay her bitterness
- Comment on Alton Towers bans people with anxiety from using disability pass 4 days ago:
I used to think the same, but I’m not so sure anymore. My mum works in the council and she constantly tells me first hand stories of people simply abusing the system. Not one offs, but significant numbers.
Her bitterness about it stems from the fact that many of the families doing it aren’t that integrated into society.
On the one hand, life is fucking tough right now and people should be using whatever advantage they have to get by. On the otherhand, in a fairer world, people wouldn’t be exploiting the system at all.
I never really understand where Tories lie on the spectrum of equity/fairness/corruption given their horrific track record, but I can understand the frustration of seeing others doing better than you should be…
