Ah, I see

“old lady” absolutely is slang for wife. Also “ball and chain” which… yeah…

Wtf that’s so big
On a related note, I was also surprised during a school trip at how small puffins are
I think I’m not good at knowing bird sizes
- Comment on Gender-specific toilets to be required in non-residential buildings in England 1 week ago:
You’re not necessarily wrong, but also that wasn’t an argument made in the article so I don’t think it’s relevant here

Big Joel is always such a trip already that I stay away from Little Joel. He has such a unique way of looking at things

I don’t know the bear or man thing. I don’t think. I saw a post about debating a bear that I made a joke on, but I’m sure that what just a shitpost
- Comment on Gender-specific toilets to be required in non-residential buildings in England 1 week ago:
I’m confused. In what way to universal toilets (toilet and sink in one self-contained room) not allow for the biological needs of women? Why are girls in schools getting UTIs because they’re so scared of peeing in universal toilets? Why don’t these work for trans people and NBs?
Is this anything other than just conservatives being transphobic and wanting to keep traditional toilets alive? I feel like I must be missing something here
As an aside...
My dad’s church has just been refurbished with this style of toilet and he is very against them, but he’s also against trans people so…

This has got to be a troll, right?

- Comment on Sunak to allow oil and gas exploration at sites intended for offshore wind 2 weeks ago:
You gotta hate these critics. The Tories are not “playing politics with climate”. They are giant pieces of shit who would rather millions of people die due to the climate crisis instead of their disgustingly rich friends being very slightly less disgustingly rich. Please just say it like it is rather than treating conservative politicians as if they had a slightly disagreeable but still valid point of view

If you own a long piece of wood, a flat piece of wood, and some paint, you could make this a reality rather than just paying someone at random $5

You don’t even seem to know what communism is, seeing as you conflate it with socialism in another of your comments
- Comment on Why are SMS messages so expensive? 3 weeks ago:
I’ve got this weird half-remembered thought in my head that you don’t have a separate set of phone numbers for mobile / cell vs landline (in the UK, all mobile numbers start 07… ). Therefore you don’t know who you’re calling so it wouldn’t be possible to charge extra when calling a cell phone, therefore the owner of the cell phone has to pay that extra amount.
Like I said, it’s just a vague half-memory and I could have completely made it up. That’s why I’m asking

I would have thought that it’s not a great source, but also I’ve only read half the abstract of this paper so who am I to say?
- Comment on Why are SMS messages so expensive? 3 weeks ago:
I assumed it was the same thing. In the UK, all our phones are prepaid. You can either get a contract for a set monthly amount, or you buy credit which you spend over time (which presumably is what you mean by prepaid).
While we’re on the subject, is it true that you have to pay to receive calls in the US?

I love that their source is just porn… Sorry, “authentic sexual experiences shared online”
- Comment on It must confuse English learners to hear phrases like, "I'm home", instead of "I am at home." We don't say I'm school, or I'm post office. 3 weeks ago:

- Comment on Why are SMS messages so expensive? 3 weeks ago:
I spend about £15 per year on my phone. No way that could be beaten with a contract. I’m still annoyed at how expensive it is though
- Comment on Private health insurance market grows by £385m in a year amid NHS crisis 4 weeks ago:
Never mind dentists not taking on new patients, my entire family was just kicked out of our NHS dentist and told we had to start paying monthly just to stay on the books (then pay again when we actually want treatment).
Everything’s going to shit because the NHS just doesn’t have enough money. Fuck the Conservatives

- Comment on I could never work food service. It crushes my soul to see food go to waste. 4 weeks ago:
Coming home from an event last night around 2145, I could either stop at McDonald’s and spend roughly £5 on dinner and eat immediately; or I could drive 20 minutes home, start cooking and eat at almost 11pm. But the good news is I’d save about £3!
… I mean, I still didn’t eat at McDonald’s, but like I understand why someone might
- Comment on GPs in UK urged to routinely ask women and girls about period problems 4 weeks ago:
I’ve heard if you phone up at 7am each day, you might be gifted with an appointment for that day. GPs are a very rare sight though, I think they’re going extinct due to lack of funding

If you worked food service, you could stop that food from going to waste by licking it off the floor
- Comment on Considerations on which houseplant to start with 5 weeks ago:
My gardening is I just shove any interesting seeds I get into some soils and see what’s up. So far I’ve grown so many apples (but not many get past sapling stage…), pomegranates, passionfruit, peppers (accidentally killed over winter because I planted end of autumn. Thought that would happen but still), tomatoes, avocados. Mostly germinated on my windowsill in the UK, other than avocados which are weird.
Other options are cacti. Just cut a piece off and plant it and it’ll probably grow, that’s been my experience. Some inside and some in a greenhouse. Some are very picky but most are easy to grow and care for. Plus they often have beautiful but short-lived flowers, which makes then even more special when they’re in bloom (sometimes the flower literally lasts one night and you feel so lucky to see it)
