So if a woman was in the same weight class as Mike Tyson, you think they should be allowed to fight each other? And you think this would be a good look?

These hamfisted attempts at equality are actually the complete opposite.

Yes, let's have a bunch of blokes beating the shit out of women in boxing. What could possibly go wrong?

I remember the Brit Awards scrapping gendered awards and putting everyone in the same category. The problem was, the only ones nominated turned out to all be men.

Anytime a website throws this nonsense at me, I immediately go elsewhere.

Right-to-Buy is a good idea in theory, but the problem is that the social housing that's then taken off the market isn't replenished, so there's fewer houses available for people who can't afford to buy or rent privately.

To be fair, you don't HAVE to buy it to access the beta as it's open to everyone next weekend.

But yes, betas are now "glorified demos" and have been for a fair few years.

Ronald Dahl quote:

there is a trait in the Jewish character that does provoke animosity. ... Even a stinker like Hitler didn't just pick on them for no reason.

Nothing anti-Semitic about that, of course...

What a daft idea.

If you're not happy with your MP, vote them out.

They've just asked them to start a bit later.

What's the problem?

She wouldn't, because she claims a doctor told her this. You don't see a doctor until you've been pushed to the front of the queue by the nurses.

What a load of bollocks.

Healthcare staff in A&E will prioritise patients based on their immediate need. If you're having breathing difficulties (and apparently, Phillips' lips were turning blue, so that's quite serious), you'll be treated quicker because it's more urgent.

This makes it sound like there's some kind of sectarianism in our healthcare, and is frankly a stupid thing for an MP to say. But Jess Phillips has never been the brightest.

Is this a tedious "PC Master Race" comment?

 

I've got a job interview on Tuesday and I haven't had one for a while due to a period of unemployment because of family health issues.

One part of interviews I've always struggled with is when they first ask you to tell them about yourself. I struggle to talk about myself anyway and never know what they'd like me to actually say, whether it's about me as a person or about my work history.

So any tips or tricks would be welcome.

 

I have an Emma Original Pillow that I've had for three years and the support is basically non-existent now, so I wake up in the night and end up with neck and shoulder pain.

I've tried a Panda Hybrid pillow and a Simba Hybrid firm pillow but neither were any good to me. The Panda was too low for sleeping on my back and the Simba didn't have the support I needed. If I was purely a side sleeper it would be probably be okay, but of course I have to be awkward.

I generally prefer memory foam pillows, but it's been so long since I've had a good night's sleep, I'm willing to try anything.

 

I'm a lover of physical books but I'm looking to get an e-reader as well, for those books that are hard to find physical copies of, or are just very expensive.

I've ruled out Onyx, because I try to avoid Chinese tech as it's usually poorly made. But I'm not sure whether Kindle or Kobo is best. Is being tied to Amazon's ecosystem too restricting? Are the Kobo e-readers compatible with everything you need? Which ones have the best screens, ideally how a physical book would look?

So many questions, but hopefully some of you can help. 😁

 

I've suffered with anxiety since I was a kid, and things like CBT don't seem to work for me at all. I know pills from the doctor are available, but I only want to go down that route as a last resort.

So does anyone have any experience with CBD products for treating anxiety? The reviews online seem mixed on whether they actually work.

 

 

Looking to attend a Comic Con for the first time next month and I want to meet Nolan North for either a photo or an autograph.

I know neither of them will give you much time with the guest, but which do you think is the best value for money?

 

Loved this game and can't wait for this DLC to play more of it.

 

Almost like it was a non-starter. Who could have possibly foreseen that?
