Bowls is just warm curling. They should show curling on TV sometimes; it's surprisingly popular every Winter Olympics, and I know they have a league because I watched it once on some obscure Sky channel. I bet it would be hugely popular in the winter months.

I didn't eat anything for tea, now I'm hungry, but the only real thing I could make out of the fridge is carbonara, and eating egg, cheese and pasta at this hour would definitely give me violent sexual nightmares, so I think I'm just going to have to have a couple of spoons of peanut butter and go to bed.

Unless you're incredibly lucky, work isn't real life, it's the thing you do to support your actual life, in which you can find things to be passionate about.

I don't hate my job or anything, but it's never going to be the highlight of my week. I do try to take on new projects I might care about, or try and develop other, younger colleagues, but other than that, I'm quite content to gather money for not much effort, because it means I can spend my energy at home on things I love, like arguing on the internet.

I challenge you to find the existing thread for such strories.

>Gardaí are investigating the death of an elderly man in Carlow town, whose body was brought into a post office by two other men, in what appeared to be an attempt to claim the deceased man’s pension.

>The bizarre series of events began when a man entered the post office premises of Hosey’s shop and post office on Staplestown Road at about 11.30 am on Friday, seeking to collect the weekly pension on behalf of another man. He was informed by a staff member that the man himself would have to be present if payment of the pension was to be made.

>This man left and a short time later two men, accompanied by a third man in his 60s, entered the post office. These two men are appear have sought pension payment for the third man, who appeared to be propped up. A woman who had become suspicious of the men’s movements alerted a post office staff member and no cash was handed over. The body of the deceased was then left at the scene when the two men fled after suspicions were raised.

If such a thing happened, which obviously it never would, I would disapprove of that too. Because you're not meant to tell other countries how to run their business.

>>36692

Unfortunately, countries are a lot like neighbours. You might want them to mind their own business, and you might not give a fuck what they're doing in their own property. But sometimes, you have no choice but to confront them over how they keep leaving their bins at the end of your drive. Only the bins are nuclear missiles.

>It is none of Russia's business whether or not Ukraine wishes to join NATO

This. Russia's recent ultimatum to NATO involves an effective sphere of influence in not only Ukraine but even Poland where the US is perceived as in need of grand bargain to counteract China and the European security alliance as faltering thanks to the vanity of France and Germany. But despite the limp-wristed attitude of Biden the West has already seen off one pressure tactic where Belarus attempted to force a refugee crisis.

Its threat that we know from the long-term predictions of the Russian economy will be used in future to bully economic concessions and as we see from the Caucasus and history of Ukraine itself will still seep in to sow internal conflict or even outright annexation. There's a reason even the Swedes are going mental at the moment and its not good at a time when Russia has spent year building up foreign currency reserves while the west is perilously sensitive to Russian gas diplomacy.

On the broader realist perspective; the problem the school has is it too often presumes a state (that you're in at time of writing) to have free-will. NATO expansion was an inevitability and the weight of Poland alone will pull the west deeper into conflict. EU expansion couldn't have been stopped by the US despite Moscow's view that it's a stalking horse and Ukraine fell into the western orbit because the people living in Ukraine (now run by a Jewish fascist president as Mendeleev recently went to point out) threw their puppet government out of power. What the West could've done to avoid all this was to integrate Russia into the west during the 90s and avoid the country becoming a basket case but we didn't so there we go.

>>36693
Or in the case of Eastern Europe, anti-ballistic missiles. Or in Ukraine, the red-line recently moved to having any sort of western military presence such as training a countries military to defend itself against a neighbour that illegally occupies 7% of the country. Whataboutism doesn't really work in this situation.

>>36687

>Standing back from the situation it seems obvious that US led brinkmanship and almost psychopathic foreign policy only makes a bad situation worse.

The problem with almost all of U.S. foreign policy has always been that Americans have a hard time admitting when they are wrong. Their world view is that they are the beacon of freedom and democracy, that they are the most compassionate and generous nation on Earth, and that they must spread those values across the globe, much in the same way that evangelists think they have to proselytise their religious faith. It's also maybe no complete coincidence that much of the Ukraine kerfuffle that still persists today happened under Hillary Clinton as Secretary of State, who is a devout Methodist, a Christian fundamentalist denomination that is particularly known for its proselytism and the belief in its own moral superiority and the urge to spread its gospel.

Then again, when it gets down to down-and-dirty power politics, there are enough realists in the American government who know they are only doing it to further and cement the sheer power that the U.S. wields over the rest of the world. There is no room for idealism at that level, it's all about dominance, strategic influence, and access to critical resources and raw materials.

NATO's Eastern Expansion, then, wasn't as much an act of wide-eyed liberalism as the linked article suggests. I'm very sure there were at all times enough hawkish realists in the American government who simply spotted a chance to weaken their old adversary of Russia by diminishing and geographically reducing its sphere of influence. It was probably a welcome side effect that the former Communist satellite states transformed into Western-style capitalist parliamentary democracies that opened up to international trade, but the real Great Game the hawks in the American government and in NATO were playing was a different one.

I've always felt that Cliff Richard only dodged Yewtree because they couldn't make anything stick. There were allegations by three different men who were young teenagers when he allegedly fondled them. He did win his court cases, but you can't help feeling like there's something latently dodgy about celebs who shroud their sexuality in secrecy all their lives, especially in times like ours when coming out gay is hardly going to raise an eyebrow anymore. Your nan who used to swoon over Sir Cliff when she was a teenager would hardly have a heart attack if he went public about being gay.

On the other hand, Freddie Mercury did avoid the question all his life and up to his death bed, and always refused to comment in detail when pressed, and he wasn't a wrongun, but those were arguably different times.

First off, you need not to lose your head about inflation. It's most likely to be a short, sharp shock due to supply chain issues that should eventually resolve themselves.

Secondly, it depends entirely on the purpose of the money and when it'll be needed. Have you looked into whether you'd be better with a LISA rather than a H2BISA?

>>9139

Well the savings are intended as more of an emergency slush fund and/or buffer to cover all the fees and bullshit when I eventually buy property. So I hope to keep them accessible. I'm exaggerating slightly at the inflation, but if I'm honest I'm not entirely convinced it will go back to normal any time soon, we live in strange times.

As for the ISA, I took it because it was what everyone recommended at the time, but I have about as much in it as the savings (I've been putting 200 in each every month for the past two and a bit years, more when I can) but they have since gone and changed the terns to give fuck all interest. I just figure that if I've come this far with it, I may as well stick it out to get the maximum bonus at the end.

>>9140
You can put £4k a year into a Lifetime ISA, so you could put the full ~£6k into one either side of the end of the tax year.

The H2BISA has a maximum amount you can contribute of £12k and it has to be used to buy a house by 2030 or you lose the chance to claim the bonus. The LISA can also be used to buy higher value properties outside of London.

>>9141

I should be reaching the limit by some time in 2024, and ha, London. No, I'm up North, which is the reason I have all this savings despite being a below average earning peasant.

But that's also why I feel protective over this money, because unlike for some people, if unavoidable economic misfortune wipes my meagre worth out, I won't be able to make it back in a hurry.

Secondary question, I can't be arsed to search for the threads about home ownership. How much of a decent idea is it to buy a council flat, if you live in one, hypothetically speaking?

Let's say I do live in one, my some miracle of fate, and the right to buy still exists (does it?), then I plan on finding myself a well off bird with a degree to move into a house with, and then I can rent the flat to students at inflated rates and become everything I once hated (except it's morally okay because fuck students).

>>9124
>All of the purveyors of NFTs know exactly what they're doing.

I don't know about that. Apparently NFT makers getting mad about people using right-click is a thing.

>>6458

Well that's rather the trouble isn't it. All the confidence and worldly wisdom I've gained over the past decade is meaningless when you're surrounded by dickhead zoomers who think TikTok is the height of culture. If I could travel back in time and do it then, sure, but doing it now would likely only be depressing.

I've been considering pressuring my boss into sending me on one of those degree apprenticeships, but the pressure of working while doing a relatively hard degree would probably unravel me. I think I value the easy life more than money honestly; and while it's true that the money helps you live an easier life, it means several years of stress and anxiety I could do without first.

I just have really never gotten along with the education system. I went back to college in my mid-20s to get my current job, but frankly I hated every second of it, especially as an adult learner, still being treated like a child.

>>6459
It would be if you dressed like this and constantly told everyone about how The Cribs are the greatest band ever.

I studied a foreign language at uni, which a lot of people told me was gay and pointless but now I earn lots of money with it and every European I meet is downright impressed at my existence, so perhaps the detractors were gay and pointless after all.

>>6459

Considering that most people start uni around age 18 to 20 and are out again by their mid-20s, 30 is well old. You are going to struggle to fit in with the other students and make friends, because at that age, ten years age difference is an eternity. Just going by my experience of being at uni in my early 20s. We had some thirtysomethings, but they tended to avoid most parties and get togethers and formed their own social group. And if they were invited to a house party, they would politely finish one glass of red wine standing in the corner before they would leave.

In terms of your career planning though, 30 is still somewhat young. If you've had a professional career up to that point and now either want to expand your career options or go into a different field altogether, then getting an (additional) degree could be worth looking into. I wouldn't go for something too lengthy though. Getting a full medical or law degree is a risk, because you will probably not be done with it before your late 30s, especially if you have to work part time to support yourself. So you'll be 35 or 36 before you can work in those fields in earnest, at which point you will compete against 22 year olds who will do the same work for less money.

I've also heard of people going back to university in their 40s, but a lot of the time, it's going to have to be with the understanding that you are mostly doing your degree for shits and giggles.

>>6462
My parents met at university studying Modern Languages, then got married, moved to Brussels, and became astronomically wealthy with their language skills despite neither one of them having any ability to impart even a single pro tip for me.

>>31484
Yes, my girlfriend and I are currently seeing an NHS psychosexual therapist. We've only had one appointment so far, but I have some reservations about her - there are some videos on YouTube of her being interviewed where she e.g. refers to pornography being mostly negative and praising the 'nofap movement'. Also in our session she recommended we watch 'Sex Love and Goop' on Netflix, which I didn't realise was a show by Gwyneth Paltrow of all people. The Guardian gave it a decent review though so I will give it a go.

>>31485
Just this recognition has been enough to encourage basic research on what's available.
Thanks for excusing my awful typos.

>>31485
>refers to pornography being mostly negative and praising the 'nofap movement''
My missus is a therapist and holds one of the few licenses that actually allow her to treat couples or families in a single session (I'm a yanklad, I'm sure the rules are different in the UK, but mental health care in the US is arguably one of the few things they do best if you can afford it). It seems like a pretty bad sign in a therapist that she's willing to be on record about her negative opinions on porn/masturbation, when most of her job is being impartial and non-judgemental. You're absolutely right to have reservations, though if she is a good therapist then you should be able to air them in your session without her just ribbiting "well I'm the expert here".

My partner had a previous position where she dealt primarily with the Mormon community. A lot of her clients were blokes who looked at porn once while their wife was away, and the bishop would find out and basically rule that they had a sex addiction and needed therapy to address it. She's not a Mormon, and had no qualms telling them that they don't have a sex addiction despite what their higher-ups in the church told them, but her colleague were Mormon and genuinely did think that these clients had committed a serious sin, even cheated on their partner because they bashed one off over some softcore porn.

All this to say, finding a good therapist is hard, and the NHS doesn't have a great system in place for helping you (at least, it didn't when I was around). You're lucky to even be seeing a specialist, and I assume you went through a year of appointments with old dears with no clinical qualifications or experience whose entire job was to ask you a list of questions off a clipboard.

If you've got the means about you, just go private on this one.

Not sure if this is /emo/ or /101/ material but I'm fucking seething.

You know what, sometimes, just sometimes, it really fucks me off how the people who are least deserving of it, will just have opportunities land in their lap without having to lift a finger.

How they'll go through their entire life never truly earning anything, just mooching off the people around them, until one day they just strike lucky in a way they truly and fucking utterly do not deserve, and end up better off than people who have worked hard their whole lives for nothing. I'm not even talking in the usual wealthy, privileged sense, that's a different matter. I just mean when some people, regardless of their background, are utterly jammy cunts, despite the fact they're selfish arseholes; who just somehow have things handed to them, despite never lifting a finger to help anyone else out.

I am jealous and I don't think it's irrational to be jealous. Some people just quite literally don't deserve what they have. Do they remember and return in kind the generosity of the people who helped them out when they had nothing? Do they fuck. Just take, take, take.

>>31488

Chicken or egg thing, I think. I'd wager having things handed to them on a plate is exactly what made them turn out as selfish individuals. They never had to learn the lesson about mutual cooperation and benefit.

Usually these people will come unstuck eventually, so just take comfort in that. They will struggle to form lasting relationships other than with people of their own kind, and end up very unhappy later in life.

They don't knock on your door if your bin's not out.

Jarring that half the label is in Spanish. I initially thought "vegetal" was some wacky slang to avoid using the word "vegan".

Quite liked this, once I scraped the caramelised onions out.
It was nothing like a wellington, but more like a giant sausage roll. The flavours were mostly spot on but the onions were overpoweringly sweet and completely dominated all the other flavours.

>>14926
I had Morrisons' beefless wellington at Christmas. It went down very well.

Tesco had a "plant based all-day breakfast" sandwhich available for their meal deal so I gave it a punt. Pea-protein sausage "coins" and some kind of faux-mayo but honestly if I hadn't known I wouldn't have been able to tell the difference. Perhaps a little less greasy and a little drier but otherwise tasted just like the garbage they put in the animal based version.

>>95291
>this majority was achieved at least partly thanks to BoJo's Corbynite policies.

Did he actually have any Corbynite policies or was it just slogans like "levelling up"?

>>95289
Surely the present shows, if nothing else, that we do not live in reality.
We're seriously expected to believe that the population will accept 150,000-175,000 deaths but not a party. That they'll turn on the Tories for "not delivering" for the north, despite the fact the Tories won 2010, 2015 and 2017 without the north and Labour has been losing elections with the North back since the 1950s. That they won't tolerate obvious cronyism and corruption despite the Tory party being nothing but that. (oh oh, but it's not that all these things individually, it's their collective impact.)

I'd say this is more plausible: Press coverage (mostly reflecting a consensus among the 'political class' rather than a 'conspiracy') accepted shoving Johnson into No. 10 despite all his flaws because they fucking hated Corbyn and they were bored of the tedious games of hung parliaments. Now that Corbyn's fucked off to irrelevancy they're no longer united by loathing him, so they've started to turn on Johnson. On the balance of forces, this is mostly because they want a Tory government without Johnson rather than because Starmer is 'cutting through'. Labour will go down to another defeat at the next election, but everyone will claim victory because they'll gain maybe 20 seats.

>>95292

Started watching Farscape on the advice of this thread. Absolutely fucking lost it when I heard the first Space Australians talk.

Despite it being an Aus/American co-production it seems the majority of the actors are Australian, and few of them are doing aussie accents -- there's the main lass who sounds liek Big Suze, and the episode-to-episode characters are often Australians doing American accents, but end up being betrayed by their vowels.

Also, I didn't know it was possible to have sillier hand-to-hand fighting than in Star Trek, but here we are.

Are you lads sincerely talking about Farscape? What a dream come true, my long-dead thread has been vindicated.

I made the switch to a vape last January OP. Best decision I ever made because I suddenly didn't need to roll and go out for a joint anymore, I could just have a vape whenever I wanted. And that's what I did, when I felt the urge to smoke I went on the vape. I didn't satisfy a nicotine urge and I had to grin and bear with it, but I got stoned. And then something impressive happened. I started thinking "OH, I'll pack my vape and have a smoke" but then get distracted by something else, that's how I went my first day without smoking weed accidentally (aside from being in a drought) in over a decade, I just forgot. It's been a year and I vape once a week if I have occasion to.


As well a vape lets you control the high a lot more. Vape at 170-80 and you're not gonna be zonked, go higher, get more wrecked.

I used to structure my whole days around weed, get home in the evening from work and roll and smoke, then just do something for an hour or so before it was time to go out for the next one.

Weed has a psychological addiction but you're never going to tackle that if you don't deal with the very insidious and potent addiction that nicotine has over you first. Separate the 2 and figure out which is which. A year a go I'd never dream I'd be like I am now, I always wondered how I was gonna stop because I couldn't imagine life without a joint in the evening and I knew I was fucking my lungs as well. Well the thing driving it was nicotine, just I couldn't tell the difference.

Good luck OP

I know this will sound like a really trite answer, but have you tried psychedelics?

More drugs to help with your issues with drugs, I kniw; but the thing is with me, getting into psychedelics totally put me off weed. I was never an every day smoker because I never really had the opportunity to be, but I would smoke pretty often- At least weekly for most of my early 20s. But after I got into psychedelics for a bit, and had various trips with and without the use of cannabis, I had a quite powerful change in perspective on the stuff.

Frankly, I just realised I don't actually like it. I was smoking it because it was a drug, and it does a bit more to you than alcohol, when you want to be on a drug. But I don't actually like the effects- It never just chilled me out or anything like that, for me it always made me overanalyse things and become very socially anxious. I consciously ignored those negative aspects because I liked watching movies and getting way too deep into it, and because I thought being a stoner was cool. But when I was able to step back and look at it clearly in that ego-supressed tippy state, I saw that I wasn't actually getting much out of it. It was a waste of time and money.

Maybe it won't be the same for you because tour relationship with the substance itself is different, but I bet there will be some sort of inner profundity you can unlock on a bit of acid that will help you realise your goal. I'll only very occasionally smoke weed now, if I'm in the mood for it specifically (one of those long extra horny wanks for instance.)

I can't be arsed to read all that wall on my phone but to answer the question, why not just eat it? Make some cannabutter or whatever, use it as a cooking ingredient. Make THC jelly babies if you want. None of it's very difficult and you can control the dose quite precisely.

Probably not the advice you're looking for but marshmallow leaf is a reasonable substitute for tobacco. Get a good quality and you'll taste it, but it doesn't burn the same nor give that sluggy tobacco hit. Infact I stopped smoking gange shortly after substituting tobacco for marshmallow - it's just not the same.

>>31475
I just got bored of the high as I got older, no longer enjoyed smoking socially and would just have the odd joint before bed. Realised it was a bit pointless smoking and going straight to sleep so just gradually stopped.

I still like to have a small bit of something to hand as I will smoke a joint maybe once every 3/4 months. The only time I really enjoy it now is if I'm out walking by myself in nature somewhere then a very small j can be quite nice. Otherwise I'm not fussed. I do still drink too much though. Dunno if that's any help really.

You can get an NHS health check if you're over 40, but it's a fairly cursory checkup - blood pressure, diabetes, cholesterol and a chat about your diet.

Most private healthcare providers offer much more comprehensive checkups, so I'd suggest looking into what your employer offers.

>>6009
Cheers, sounds good. My internal organs must be nearing 70 but I'm only 30 unfortunately. Will check in with employer.

Got the weirdest cold I've ever had. Lat flow says it's not the plague.

Whenever I get a cold I usually produce industrial amounts of snot, but I'm completely dry this time; the main feature is that my right nostril (and just my right nostril) feels like it's been superglued shut. It doesn't even do the thing of switching sides every hour or two like a normal cold. My left nostril is free and clear.

I can barely sleep or concentrate as it feels like there's a force pushing my nostril shut and it's very very distracting.

A quick search online suggests they're on par, with both in the US$40-50 billion region.

As a side question, is the overall revenue of the gaming industry really a very good indicator of its quality and cultural worth? You hear it brought up a lot that the games market is rivalling film/TV for its income, but I always think a deeper dive and some other metrics need to be considered. It's like when Americans insist the US is a first-world country because of its high GDP, despite the absolute shitshow that their day-to-day life is.

>>25406
If this means that CoD games are coming to Game Pass, particularly on day one, this could be a very beneficial move for me. CoD games don't go on huge sales very often, and £70 for the cross-gen edition of Vanguard is ludicrous. If I can get them for a reasonable subscription fee, I'd be over the moon. The new Rainbow Six game is day one Game Pass, soon I'll never have to buy a game again!
