The benefit cap is right wing.
Banning your MPs from joining picket lines is right wing.
Purging the left wing from your party -but leaving the right wing untouched- iis right wing.
You can only call Starmer centrist if your view is one from a right wing perspective.
The Overton window in the UK is too far to the right, as is our policy on almost every area. We need a strong push to the left to take us back to the centre, not a slightly watered down, more palatable version of Thatcherism.

Same. I’ve got thousands of hours in Skyrim. It’s my favourite game of all time. But I’m more into sci fi than fantasy generally and Starfield is shaping up to be everything I would’ve asked for. It’s taken over my life and I have no regrets. Bethesda smashed it again.

If you think about it, looking for life that’s very similar to us is the exact opposite of presuming we are special. It’s presuming we are average.

I love this idea!

  • “Kirk, marooned by Khan” - anger in the face of cruelty

  • “Montgomery in the presence of whales” - wonderment at majestic beauty

  • “Pine, his visions” - a sense of foreboding doom

  • “Locutus, released” - rocky recovery after a severe illness

  • “Riker’s trombone” - an instrument or tool, improperly used

  • “Spock, untethered” - when you’ve been biting your lip for a long time but finally snap

  • “Tuvok, his eyebrow raised” - restraint

  • "Odo, when the Great Link was sick " - making a sacrifice for the good of the many, especially if they are your enemies

I could literally do this all day but have to get back to work

Not op but surely it’s acute embarrassment tinged with apprehension, verging on fear. With a bit of exasperation mixed in. It’s a hell of a complex emotion to fit into four words.

I think the best response to this is to just show them your next few meetings on your calendar, with an air of bemusement.
If they’re talking about hidden motives then they need to prove you have one first.

Nuclear energy is much much cleaner than gas. If we can replace our reliance on gas with nuclear then that’s a step in the right direction. If, for any reason whatsoever, nuclear is a more viable option than renewable, even if that reason is corporate greed, then we take it and then phase nuclear out later as we increase the renewable load. The situation is too urgent to quibble over which green energy to use. We just need to get shut of gas and coal.

Some facts:
Nuclear energy is not a contributor to greenhouse gases.
Nuclear power plants are safe.

Do you think we will be able to create or import enough renewable energy to fill the hole left by gas in the time it would take to build these reactors? How? And what is your response to the legitimate concern that renewable energy technology at its current maturity does not provide a stable power base?

The terms AFAB and AMAB serve perfectly well for this medical purpose. Equally, an extra column for gender. Gender: M, Sex: F.
Not that tricky really. Doesn’t need to go any further than that.
