It seems about right, but I couldn’t tell you if it’s that accurate generally. I also don’t know anything about any of the countries on there.
To add more context, Chief Mouser to the Cabinet is the official title of the resident cat in 10 Downing Street. Although the role dates back to the 16th century, the it only became official in the 1920’s.
Edit: I got my history a little wrong! Rufus didn’t technically hold the title of chief mouser, although he was in practice. His successor, Peter, was the first to actually be called that, and Larry (the current Chief Mouser) was the first to actually, officially hold the title rather than just being called it. So apologies for my mistake.
A win for life!
I found this a while ago, don’t remember how, but I just read it and thought it would be interesting for some others on here. I did have a bit of trouble reading it, but I was mostly alright.
I know it’s late but I would like to see the eclipse and I honestly didn’t really know about it until earlier today. Not sure where I could get them around here so I’m hoping someone else knows a place. Thanks.
So essentially after a while, this person I’m having a debate with comes to the conclusion that I am a misogynist who simply wants to oppress women, because the only situation I can think of in which another person needs a specific persons body to survive, and that specific person has an actual obligation to help them survive, is with pregnancy, seeing as this only happens to women. I’ve been blocked, and I’m certainly not upset about it. But I doubt myself a lot and I’m having doubts as to whether this is as large of a leap as I think it is.
I can’t be the only one who doesn’t think it’s illogical to assume that someone must have misogynistic intentions because they can’t think of another situation similar to the one above. It is a pretty basic fact that there is no other point in a person’s life where they will actually need to rely on another human’s body the way they do in pregnancy, at least from what I know, but because I recognise that pretty big exception and believe that the human life should be prioritised over bodily autonomy in the one instance that this applies, I obviously am only doing it because I want to oppress women? Maybe it’s obvious to you, but to me it seems like a massive leap. And a pretty unfounded one, all things considered. Am I overthinking this?
Personally, I think it’s just cope, because when you can’t think of an actual reason why someone is wrong, it’s very easy to say “well they’re x anyway, so what they say is obviously wrong”. And well, I never heard a good reason I was actually wrong about abortion from that person. I think everyone does it from time to time, but it’s a poor way of getting out of having to seriously think through your beliefs. I think the biggest issue the pro life movement really has is that the majority of people are unwilling to consider that they are wrong. And it’s pretty hard to convince someone they’re wrong when they don’t want to believe it, and most people agree with them.
Sorry that’s a bit all over the place, I feel this is the only place I can really talk about all this, and I seriously want to get it off my chest!
It sometimes works fine but very often I will have the following issues
- Computer is being really slow
- applications crashing
- screen going blank. Not always in the same way though. Sometimes the whole thing goes blank, like yesterday something I was using crashed, and then the whole screen went grey. After waiting a little bit, the taskbar came back but the rest of the screen was still grey, so I had to shut it down.
Today, as I am moving some things from one folder to another, the background of folder itself (on the desktop) went black, then the same thing happened to all the icons on the desktop, then when I moved the folder somewhere else on screen, the background just went completely black.
I feel like it might be a memory issue, because there was a day when I tried to use google and kept getting an error about running out of memory. I remember it saying “Status Breakpoint”. But the thing is, I can’t find anything that is actually using enough memory for that to be such a major problem. The computer has 8GB of RAM, and the most an application is usually using when I check task manager is in the low hundreds MB (1-300).
Very confused and very annoyed. Also not particularly tech savvy, so apologies if there’s something big I’m missing or if I got some of the jargon wrong. Thank you.
I’ll be honest, I don’t know anything about this stuff. I’m aware that if they’re making changes to the same things they’re likely to conflict, but I don’t know for sure. I just downloaded S3SS and turned on most of the performance settings, and it hasn’t really done much. That could just be me doing something wrong but as far as I know I’ve done everything right. I just found out about the performance patch and I want to see if it might help, because my game is currently unbearably laggy and slow. If they aren’t compatible, then which out of the 2 would you lot recommend, if you’ve tried them both? Help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!
It just seems like it would be relevant as she was a Catholic politician. She can was really brutally murdered not too long ago, the trial of the suspected murderer took place today. It’s unknown whether or not the motive was political, but please pray for her soul and for the soul of her suspected murderer.
Genuinely ridiculous. The post was about Malaysia deporting all Israeli citizens, which to be fair I believe is something they have been doing for a while, not just recently. Not that I support it, but the post was click bait. I was expecting some support for it, but I wasn’t expecting the level of downright xenophobic bile in that comment section. The far left and far right are similar in levels of hatefulness, I suppose. There’s no real difference between these people and the far right Islamophobes here in the UK.

I’m hoping this little clip might be enough to solve it. That’s all I really know about the song. Thanks.
Obviously I’m not expecting too much choice, but I feel like complaining so here we are. Leicester Mercury is completely rubbish, websites full of ads and half the articles are paywalled. I love the gazette but I’m admittedly not a fan of its obvious left wing bias. I’ve seen a smaller, seemingly web based one which seems to report mostly on crimes, which is important but I do wish it would talk about other things more.
The only thing I know of that I haven’t got any complaints about it the BBC Leicestershire local news section. It’s alright. But it’s obviously not a local publication. I’ll just stick to that and some articles from the Leicester gazette. I felt like talking about it somewhere because it very, very mildly annoys me and I don’t personally know anyone who would care about local news coverage. Plus there’s an off chance that a perfect newspaper exists that I just never knew about, but obviously unlikely. Sometimes I wish I had the support, talent and money to start my own. That’s all, if you read this take care.
It’s something I’m very interested in, but as much as I like researching it, I feel like there’s more that I’m not finding out. So I would appreciate if someone here could give me some help. Thanks.

The county in question is Leicestershire, if it helps. Sorry if it’s not the place for this question, thanks!
So, it’s obviously Sunday, and we’re going to church soon. I like to wear the same clothes to church every Sunday, because it looks better than anything else I’ve got, without being some kind of flashy ball gown. It’s a long skirt with a matching shirt, tights and a jacket. My mum hates it, and so she insisted on me wearing something else that she picked out for me. It’s a long black pair of trousers that looks like a skirt, and a white t shirt. I personally like my usual outfit more, so I’m wearing. She’s very upset, and as I ironed (since in all fairness she was right about needing ironing but I was too scared because the iron is in her room) she told me that the bible says I should honour my faith and mother.
I never really thought about it that way, but I don’t feel like this is an issue serious enough that I would be doing something wrong by refusing to wear what she picked. This isn’t the first time it’s happened, this has happened several times, and I’ve been increasing more frustrated and less willing to do what she says pretty much every time. In all honesty, I do not think my mum should be controlling what I wear to the point of picking all my outfits. It’s not like I’m dressing immodestly, I never do. I think she’s just being a control freak. But, there’s a reasonable chance that this situation not being serious enough is the reason I should listen to her. Maybe because she’s not literally telling me to murder someone, I should just listen to whatever she says.
If it’s some kind of sin to do what I want in this situation, then I’ll wear what she says, but out of respect for God rather than simply because I’m happy for her to handpick everything I wear for me rather than allowing me the freedom to dress myself. Input would be much appreciated. Thanks.

I will make it clear here that I am not transgender, and was born and raised in the Catholic faith. I was just wondering how the church is meant to react to this particular situation.
Most of the information I’ve seen regarding transgender issues from the church has made it clear that altering your body to appear or live as the opposite sex is wrong. I don’t have any problems with that teaching, but my question is mainly surrounding the fact that I have found basically no information on what someone should do if they have already completely medically transitioned, and have been living as if they are the opposite sex for years.
I don’t know if it’s fair or realistic to expect someone who has spent years looking like, sounding like and living like the opposite sex to go back on all of that. Are people in this situation expected to try undoing any surgery or hormone therapy they have received? And if they can’t, are they expected to tell people that they are a man/woman even though they do not in any way look like, sound like or generally come across as one? Would that not be some form of scandal in itself, as even though they have the appearance of say, a man, they are telling people that they are actually a woman. Am I just massively overthinking all of this, is there something I’m missing?
I know this is an odd thing for someone to ask, especially considering I’m in no way personally affected by any of this. But the more confused I get about something, the more focused I get on finding an answer. Sorry if this is all ridiculous. Thanks.
