“Rubbish bin”?

I volunteer at a cat rescue and the cats are often fascinated by the bin into which I have emptied the cat litter. It must stink. Cat: “oooh, interesting smell, let me stick my whole head in there.”
I then call to them to not climb in…

“Commerce” is such a weird word to use.
Not sure many people in the UK have had a career in “commerce” so it would be unlikely as a job.

There is cultural class (eg old money in the upper class) and financial class.

I’m very annoyed that very posh Nigel Farage (went to expensive posh school, stockbroker) has somehow defined himself as man of the people. (Because he drinks ale? Not sure.)

This is the second “what is class in US” discussion I’ve seen in 3 days. I enjoyed this suggestion someone made:
“Really we just gotta redo the whole classification: “I make a living,” “comfortable,” and “rich [nobody will ever self select this one]””

I’m from UK so it’s v complicated for me (cont

possibly the funniest political moment of the year

Kemi Badenoch’s ability to plant political time bombs that blow up in the face of the party she leads is truly unparalleled.

What’s particularly impressive here is she could have found this out herself before raising the profile of this issue at PMQs.

Me, not trolling my relative to ask why their son didn’t make it into the hot priests calendar. (Son left the priesthood, so a double troll.)

This is growth.

I have read enough Menswear Guy “how much it costs to make” threads to get that.

Had this conversation with a teen student a few years ago. About Corbyn (who I didn’t much like but didn’t hate either) but could have been about anyone. My main point: humans are flawed. All of us. Yes, including that person you think is amazing.

I gave the benefit of the doubt in the first 3 months (it was summer, they ended Bibby Stockholm use, they put proposal for renters’ rights) but it’s been downhill since then. Now I mostly have scorn and anger.

Part of my reaction to stuff like this is “natural” doesn’t mean safe. Belladonna is natural! Etc.

Also in 2002 (?) the EU started regulating supplements the way they did food. I know of one company that struggled to comply with the new laws. Which showed how much the regulation was needed.
