That's the Labour party when it's not in power. In power, it moves sharply right (based on the post Thatcher Labour party)

I've voted for them in the past, but my MP has gone terfy, so I will probably go back to the Green Party, who were the first party I voted for back

Why is it that all the public converts to some extreme form of Christianity are like this? The tradCaths who don't pay attention to the Pope do it too.

Is it part of converting but not wanting to do anything Jesus asked of his followers, do you think?

Probably when your post hits Discover. But also, users here just change the settings so people can't respond or quote post, which has to make it slightly less frustrating

Sounds familiar

Also, huge variation in presentation and when it hits

Boys are more likely to cause trouble in school🙄

I still don't know if the difference is partly social conditioning. Girls get a lot more flack for not sitting still nicely, and the only way to do that with ADHD is to let your internal distractions loose

So you chose one of the most difficult languages on the planet to learn? Respect

the actual story here, which the media never talks about, is that police in this country have become a discrete right-wing political operation. the story isn't about cops leaving (they're lying about that), it's about the police trying to exert influence over elections.

Forgot track changes, sorry (just to get the 4 word version)

Another with wide application: oops, track changes is off

Also
Legal needs to review

This one applies to literally every profession 😭

Well played

Oh boy. Read the rest of the thread. You are stressing them out because they never get to catch it, and probably damaging their eyes

Trans health waiting lists are a political choice I’m just back from an awesome trans healthcare conference in Norway (blog on that to follow). Here I wanted to share information from a presentation by the founder of the transit trans health…

The ‘Transit’ gender clinic in Spain has a 3 WEEK waiting list! 😳😳😳

It covers a population of 8 million, (equivalent to the population of Scotland & Wales combined, or 1/7th of the population of England) It has a total of 43 staff, a majority of whom are part-time, working 6-7 hours per week!

That looks yummy. I kind of want cheesecake now

Two, actually. Butcher bought one too, since he was getting a deal

Years ago, someone I knew worked in the sort of office where one guy's dad was a small farmer and another's was a butcher. So one year, he bought a whole lamb

Handover to the butcher was at the office. And the butcher's son is utterly shocked to see a fully grown sheep, wrapped up for transport

So in other words, it was never a boy thing, we just never recognised it in women at any stage

And then we let men get away with dumping all their executive function stuff onto wives and girlfriends, and secretaries or assistants

Why else would people blame wives when men forget birthdays?

And one of the reasons why it was a boy problem in the first place was that in girls, hormonal changes kick ADHD up a notch. So it appears in puberty and gets worse at menopause and I think there's a good chance some of the baby brain thing is just ADHD kicking up again

We once went to a museum that was running a competition for the best photo of "the museum art in conversation with architecture". We gave our kid a digital camera and they took about a million photos and had a great time

Tourists will buy once and probably not return. Locals get the option to bring kids back and you gain the cost back in trips to the cafe or gift shop

A good way around this is to offer re-entry with a ticket (or a family ticket). At the London Transport Museum, you can revisit it as often as you like for a year. Or you can buy membership and get a quarterly magazine and entry to their warehouse family weekends twice a year

Unfortunately, it only worked for as long as he had his thumbs on the pressure points of my wrists, so for the rest of the trip we looked very weird, like we were stuck in a Scottish dancing position

They are tricky to get into the right place, so often they don't work. But my husband used to use them often and during on one memorably awful coach ride, when I was convinced I was going to throw up any moment, he dug his thumbs into the right spots on my wrists. 2 min later I felt fine

Urgh, I had that then and it was Not Fun. Did you know your body can get used to Travel Bands? I did not. And it was so useful having a non-drug, fast-acting solution to occasional car sickness, too

Sympathy to anyone dealing with constant nausea, for whatever reason

Dear lord. Nobody tell @mercy-goth.bsky.social

To some extent, the point is that humans do this stuff casually, at all levels of skill. And AI does something that looks a bit like it, at a meh level, most of the time, and needs a human to prompt well and to select a successful result

Something selected by the human user as a successful result

It's created to convey something to others, or for your own enjoyment. The AI doesn't have intent

Sure, not everyone is going to be at the level of a world famous composer. But if you have hummed a tune that wasn't one you had heard before, you made music

If you created a parody song or a filk, voila, synthesis

It's at the level of someone who is about to get an F on their homework because they didn't synthesize
