Reading the alt-text one might imagine a well-filled used condom of an especially fine latex.

Which isn't inaccurate, but now imagine the above gazing at a girl the second Terminator right before it spears Conor's foster mother right through her eyesocket.

Keeping a few of those little lens cleaning cloths in convenient places is about all I can think of. They launder fine too, if you notice any become less effective at removing smears.

If you ever need a new prescription, they should be able to put the new lenses in your current frame. Similarly, if your frame ever gets broken but your lenses are undamaged, they can pop them in a new frame. That said, keeping old glasses as spares is useful, and it can be fun to have new frames.

Nah, they're nutters with very weird ideas about Britishness, Irishness & everything else, but they no more look to the English for ideas about their own identity & how to manifest it than the English look to NI loyalists as a guide.

If anything they tend to rather despise Englishness, seeing their own culture as the one true, loyal holdout to the Union.

The aprons do seek to emulate Masonic regalia, but the ideals of the Orange Order are entirely contrary to those of Freemasonry, which in any case is not specifically English or even British.

In the absence of irrelevant descriptors, many people struggle to remember that fascists can seem quite normal in other respects. Giving a few details helps them to imagine the woman. In turn this can quell fallacies that attach to ideas about "respectable" or "nice".

That doesn't matter with regard to this woman as her behaviour is now a matter for the courts, but reminds Times readers that the terror threat doesn't come solely from disaffected louts hopped up on larger & sun exposure (& who may be quite partial to kicking off violently anyhow).

I'd think that in the absence of much to go on about her, they lifted stuff from her Twitter bio.

UK Labour's position on Gaza is no different to that of the Tories (or to the DNC in the US). In Scotland, the SNP is strongly pro-Gaza, but were wiped out. That's likely to have been in matters besides Palestine, but voters had the option to prioritise it and roundly rejected it. In NI & Wales, pro-Gazan candidates did less considerably less well than predicted 18 months ago. A few pro-Gazan candidates ran for the Workers' Party - a handful of them won seats, but others, including their party head lost theirs. Meantime far-right Reform loathe Israel & loathe Palestine more, but made massive gains.

In France, pro-Gazan FI is a major component of NFP, the alliance which got the biggest vote share, but they only scraped that by working strategically with the rest of the left & with the neolibs to see off the far-right, and even this alliance did not win a majority. Within this there's little to no agreement on Palestine, and FI's position drew in some voters and alienated others.

Nope, because those recent gains were in spite of positions on Gaza & in any case there are few positions which the US could take which would be more grimly anti-Palestinian than that of the GOP.

It is a very long time since I've read as ahistorical writing as this article. We all wish that support for Palestine were there, but it very demonstrably is not.

Am so glad you spoke with the vet and that you've escaped that part of things.

Much love to you!

Sweetheart,

Choked up just thinking of how you are feeling. Losing a pet, and so suddenly is the worst.

Please be gentle with yourself. Hesitant to suggest much, as you sound so vulnerable just now.

What kind of things do you think might be distracting or soothing when you notice your mind has drifted into the self-blame stuff? Are there any friends who live nearby that you could visit?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Glad you're feeling better.

GAA hurling can be a fun sport to distract oneself with, if you're similarly stuck another time.

Nothing could be more delicious to Mogg's ears than the destruction of the UK economy. All the better for a disaster capitalist to feed upon, and all the cheaper the labour & deregulated the conditions to serve up to other greedy scumbags.

Gonna guess ~~the Torygraph~~ ITV asked him in interview to give his childrens' names and about the lack of photoshoots including them, and that this was his reply.

He'll hardly have rung them up specially to announce this

Easy to underestimate how much of a room can be covered by a mere litre or two of fluid, once the spillage spreads out flat.

 

When I go to the login page, my username and password are autofilled, but clicking the login button produces no response.

If I delete the contents of both autofill boxes and then give permission to my device's request to fill the username and password, the login button works as it should.

Tried clearing cache and cookies with no Beehaw or Lemmy pages open. Removing login details from saved passwords and entering them manually works, but only as a onetime thing. Saw a suggestion that a shorter password might work but bit wary of this without further guidance.

It wouldn't be super noticeable, but am getting logged out several times a session when browsing via phone.

~~EDIT: May have just created a duplicate of this question, as this post wasn't showing up from my profile or from the community. The second one isn't showing, but could appear soon! Apologies for that.~~

FURTHER EDIT: discovered that when I get logged out, if I open a new tab to Beehaw, I'll be logged in on that tab without. This is so easy that it doesn't count as awkward, and my settings make it very obvious visually whether am logged in or not.
