This. One of the dangerous things about chronical pain that I think might be underappreciated is that it blinds you to signals that in a healthy person would cause them to seek medical help. When doctors ask now I always caveat that I'm a poor witness of my own wellness because there have been times when I felt like I was doing fine but in fact needed surgery. I don't know how doctors (or occupational health, or social workers, or carers) do it, there's basically no reliable information in talking to an ill person but that's like 90% of what you have to go on.
In fairness. "net zero" has a precise but pimited meaning. If anything using "net zero" as shorthand for "zero net increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide" is deficient in the first place. It's snappy and (reasonably) clear but very easy to twist or repurpose or reframe.
I don't see it. And who gives a shit what the logo is? Is this all journalism has to offer?Bacon sandwich-gate tier piss taking...
AV was a different kettle of fish. Garbage turnout and masses of undecideds in polling. I don't think anyone ever thought it was nailed on even if technically AV was ahead in some polls. Point stands though.
It is tricky to make something both snappy and accurate. I think anti-JOB might have worked better, but it sounds like a sex strike, so don't put me in charge of marketing.
Black lives matter is the least hyperbolic statement of that movement imaginable. That there was pushback even on that framing speaks more to the vile ess of its opponents than to a failure of marketing.
You might want to put it on your list but it's the opposite problem to your other examples if anything.
He's using those words to defend not giving benefits to the parents of a third child though. It's just double speak: "it's not about handouts is about a social safety net". By playing into the framing of social safety nets as handouts he just defends the status quo. Definitely no evidence he really gets it.
Inspiring. Inquisitors and rogue traders are the best bits of the setting.
Why reference a fable at all if you're going to totally ignore it's message?
The tories have been the same arrogant, entitled breed the whole time. Labour have still lost to them repeatedly so it seems weird to chalk it up to luck this time.
Best I've seen so far is the independent and, while they add some sensible context, even they are quoting sunak as if he's speaking in good faith.
It pisses me off that this getting coverage when it contains no actual new information and is so obviously a conservative communications strategy.
Rishi is not accepting the rejection of his ideas at all. He's conjuring the spectre of hung parliament as a rallying cry to disaffected tory voters. Maria Caulfield quote about the differences between local and govt elections really hammers this home and every media outfit is blithely repeating it all like they're tory sock puppets.
In context, "overtones" is a pretty decent autocorrect for Overton here.
Yeah way too literal to be emtertaining. I guess if your reaction to the mayoral campaign is disaffected "both sides" BS (though no well informed person holds that view) then it would work shrugs. I'm sure as shit not reading the article because if their headline writing is that lazy I doubt there's anything of value beyond it.
I don't watch college so I don't have much context. I terms of positions taken it seemed kinda obvious with the departures on the line and the move to 4-3. Hopefully we got some impact guys, but anyone willing to bet on them before we see them in action?
Seeing a bit of blowback about the "happy ending" undermining the message about stoicism and missing the opportunity to portray challenges like moving as an opportunity for new adventures and growth. Seems fair in my view.
I will love it they do a moving away episode with another character to show both sides. Rusty maybe, military family...
I can't decide where I stand on these. They're a gorgeous kit of course but kitbashing unique and esoteric models was kind of the point of the inquisition for me. I bought a kit but haven't used any of them in game apart from the servitor, which fine servitors can get away with being mass produced and characterless (and also previous servitor kits are garbage).
Seems emblematic of the direction of 40k: higher quality product but less encouraging of actual hobbying and identity. Lovely minis and photos though thanks for sharing!
Professional athlete with famously controversial views:
- says that his team needs to focus on their sport and avoid distractions in order to win
- advertises a media appearance where he accuses a talks how host of pedophilia without reason or evidence
Thus spectacularly failing to follow his own advice in the space of about 30s.
Is your emergency fund $100bn? Tax brackets exist. No one's talking about you.
That's an interesting line to draw from social media. Depends who you view as the reasonable I guess but I'm not sure I follow. Got any material that fleshes it out?
Yeah both choices and experiences are valid for sure. But then maybe give the "hear me out" sarcasm a rest with someone who says they're sleep deprived and maybe struggling. Enjoy your uninterrupted nights!
Kicking malaria's butt too right. Sure you don't get to be a billionaire without exploitation. But I doubt I'd be smart enough to organise philanthropy as well as they seem to be. So props to them for caring?
Winnable rest of schedule so decent shot at a wildcard from what I can tell. Cowboys are nailed on. Vikings see the lions twice so hopefully out regardless of result against us. So probably two slots between us, saints, bucs and hawks for remaining 2 wildcards.
Not counting on beating the real contenders but some post season experience for Love would be great. We shot ourselves in the foot on draft capital though.
Last few games love looking like the real deal no? Wicks and reed coming through as viable targets really helping him out.
But I want to see some RUNS tonight. Go pack go.
US sports teams often leverage the threat of relocation to access taxpayers’ money. But the Packers have thrived under a community driven model

Probably no one here will learn anything from this, but it's a well written article with a couple of curveballs for me, like over half of NFL teams have threatened to leave for LA!
What a roller coaster. I don't remember emotions like that since rodgers coming back on against the bears after injury.
I know everyone's down on the scheme but I really think if the pass rush comes through it could plug the deficiency against the deep ball and give us an above average unit this year.
What's our weakness? MLB as usual? Strong safety/ slot corner?
I'm curious how I'll feel seeing Aaron in that context. I'm rooting for the jets because they've been so laughably bad the deserve a run. But. I feel like I've overdosed on Rodgers BS so unless he's super straight laced (unlikely) or doesn't feature much I think it'll wind me up.
Today I received in the post a kit I had bought already. I think this is the acid test for unpainted models. If you can remember everything you have yet to paint you're good. Above that is verboten for me now.
Anyone else have a rule of thumb to keep themselves in check?
I made an inpromptu stop in silverknowles today and it was fucking delightful. Amazing live music and a shady spot to enjoy refreshments. Can't recommend enough.
Michael Howard today (on BBC radio 4):
> The point about public ownership is this: if you have the industry in public ownership, it has to compete for resources with health, with education, with the police, with all the other legitimate demands on the public purse, and water when it was in public ownership was way down the queue.
People pay water rates Michael. This is an income bearing asset that could have supported other public programs. Instead it's been used to enrich the already wealthy at the expense of underinvestment in infrastructure, callous polluting, and the risk of damaging bancruptcy.
> When you release it into the private sector, you have recourse to private capital. You can make the investment that’s needed.
Errr. Except a PLC's cost of capital is higher than the cost of govornment debt, so any investment is going to be harder to make and ultimately will cost the public more. As evidenced by the fact that they have done exactly the opposite of "make the investment that’s needed" over the past 30 years.
Dear god, he can't possibly be actually that dense. I have to assume he, and by extension his party that continues to support this stupid idea, is acting in bad faith.
I have my gripes but I agree with all of these. Looking forward to my first game next week!
I don't love free wargear (because there will inevitably better or worse options when everything is a straight swap whereas with points cost you can balance finely), but I can see that it makes life easier.
Fixed unit sizes, however, are supremely shit. All in all totally ripped the variety out of list building, which was one of my favourite things about the game. Lists now will look mostly identical.
Chicago Bears defensive tackle Justin Jones was asked Tuesday about facing the Green Bay Packers now that Aaron Rodgers is in New York. The DT, who joined the Bears in 2022 after four years with the Chargers, took the question and ran with it.

"Just the way they're obnoxious," he said. "Just yelling and all that other stuff about things that don't even matter. Like, we're not even running a play, and you guys are talking about, 'Oo oh yeah, go Green (Bay).' Like, what are you even talking about? The game hasn't started yet."
What is he on?
Anyone else having a really hard time with crashes on this expedition? PS4 and close to giving up.

Enjoying what we've seen so far from the rules, if a bit disappointed by some of the loss of flexibility.
Keen to hear from anyone else looking for packer chat online. Anyone got any community recommendations? There's this one for general NFL
