They don’t get counted at all. There is stats for spoiled ballots but that is every ballot that isn’t counted in the election, so say someone ticked two boxes instead of one, or if they used a pencil and it got rubbed away before counting, they all go together and nothing happens with them.
This is nonsense. The yoghurts with granola are a main in a breakfast meal deal. The normal yoghurts are still a snack.
Have you looked at 1001 Arabian Nights? Loads of fantasy and sci fi in there that might help. Jinn, mermaids, immortal space travellers, I read a fair few of them as a kid and they were cool.
You know, I think an adult show and tell wouldn’t be too different to a kids one, we don’t change that much in what we find cool from 7 to 70.
I’d bring some pets, I have geckos that are an all female species and reproduce only through parthenogenesis, most people find them cool.
Despite being the root cause of a few stereotypes of black people, it is notable that the black people in the novel actually have character development throughout that breaks at least some of those stereotypes.
We actually had some great discussions about this, about the changing nature of acceptability, it’s made me much happier to adjust my vocabulary over the years and to consider the way I speak.
I said it didn’t really impact me but actually, looks like it actually did a bit!
I think its quite easy if you’re involved in an industry, as long as you’re on some facebook pages or forums then you’re kept up to date almost accidentally.
What jobs are trying to rule out are those guys who took a course in something then just keep doing the same thing forever more.
I read “The Colour Purple” at around 14 and it had a big impact on me. Lots of opportunities to discuss race, slavery, inequality in general.
I also read Uncle Toms Cabin around the same age which I found much harder to connect with but others in my class found that very impactful.
I sure wish my government wasn’t evil.
He was taking the piss out of Keir saying 99% of women don’t have penises, Rishi believes no women have penises because he doesn’t believe trans women are women, it’s got some layers to it but the comment was transphobic.
You’ve got mixed up there. If you plan to learn multiple languages then it is beneficial to learn as a child but even similar languages, like English and French, can cause issues communicating when young. When learning vastly different languages especially when one is written and one signed it causes a lot of issues. This can leave a deaf child struggling to communicate for a time.
Often deaf parents will choose to stick to sign first.
I often send people pictures or articles on whatsapp while I’m talking to them, it’s just easier than going over to show them my phone. I definitely text if someone is out of speaking distance if it’s not urgent, stuff like “do you want X for dinner?”, that way they can get to it when it’s convenient.
It depends how much you plan to use it. If you’re going to wear something a few times then a long lasting piece of clothing is wasteful.
When I did buy eggs I bought woodland eggs with a story on the side. Also a scam, but like, slightly better… kinda?
Like even in the ads you can see they’re packed in, but I bet there’s some bugs to eat there, and they can scratch dirt.
I dunno, commercialising animals is just all a bit grim really.
Absolutely, and you’ll know what you like. I started walking a few years back and bought expensive shoes for my first walk but realised I like ankle support so only 6 months later I had to buy expensive boots.
Fashion clothes, if you’re getting something that you’ll wear for one summer and then never again then Primark is fine.
Salt, sugar, most herbs and spices, it’s all the same stuff regardless of brands
Some snacks, often crisps are the same Aldi own brand as Walkers or whatever, or they’re perfectly good. Yes we all want some kettle chips sometimes but it’s all good, same for jelly sweets, a lot of chocolate, etc.
Hobbies for beginners, if you want to take up knitting then start with a cheap kit and upgrade as you get more serious.
TBF he said kinder, not kind. I don’t buy eggs myself except for occasionally from rescue hens, but if I was I’d feel a lot better knowing they saw daylight occasionally.
Glasses in general too, the frames are often 5-10x the cost of the lenses. You do not need Dior frames.
Reading the background, it was part of the whole satanic panic thing. They were weird, like sacrificing goats and stuff, but most rural kids see animal slaughter at a young age and it’s not an issue, and the kids were mostly removed anyway.
I’ve replied to your other message with the info that you’re looking for.
Many people speak multiple languages but it’s a choice that parents make for their offspring and some make a different choice.
Some also see other languages as more important and I know in America it’s not uncommon for deaf people to speak ASL and LSM if they come from a Hispanic community.
“It’s great you’ve found a way that works for you, I do it a little differently which works great for me”, smile and leave.
