I love just how simple yet captivating the Grim/Black Dog is. It isn't even necessarily aggressive, but just the mere sighting of it elicits dread and heralds doom.
Point scoring against the government. I'm not knowledgeable on this so please could you give me an example of when a defecting MP has been given a safe seat?
Surely she won't be allowed to stand for Labour at the next election?
Don't hold your breath :/
Ah I'm so sorry - thanks for the TIL.
Yes, I very much agree with your idea then.
Edit: I also like what @Womble@lemmy.world suggested of retaining 1/3 of seats for cross-party selected experts. Especially with sortition, it's important to have the expertise to inform discussion.
I'd like for it to be people with previous careers as well though, not career politicians. Which is what it would end up being if open to anyone standing.
Soft bread is socially unacceptable?
Also, dry cereal tends to be a pretty common snack, I'd wager.
I'm not sure how I never noticed that legendary photo was outside the Arndale. Huh.
That's fair enough and completely relatable. In which case I'd say go ahead and embrace watching them man. They may not be the most top tier of all TV ever, but they're entertaining and cathartic enough to give you what you need.
My skin gets quite dry after a shower, so multiple in a day would suck all the moisture out of me.
What's more, after the dryness, I'd then get super oily to compensate. Won't help with the dryness, but at least my DNA is trying, right?
Eh. Cigarettes are way worse, as far as I'm aware. So slowly slowly cutty habit.
That sounds nice, but if I did that I would be a dry flaky pile of dust.
Do you live in a very humid place?
Huh. Interesting. I don't think I've ever tried gin as a shot.
Are you introverted? If you are, it sounds like you just need some time to recharge on your own.
But then if you don't enjoy the dramas then maybe you could try actively seeking out a solo activity that you do enjoy? Because it sounds like it might just be a procrastination activity which isn't usually as rewarding as we want and you'll feel better actively taking time out to do something you truly want to do.
