BBC: UK Election 2024: Exit poll results
  • They're not as bad as the Republicans, but given how they have been acting in recent years in particular it is definitely not an entirely unfair comparison. They're ludicrously, dangerously angry at asylum seekers and trans people.

    It is also worth noting that more Conservative MPs voted against same-sex marriage than for it, despite it being one of their own MPs that introduced it

  • How do you deal with eternal loneliness?
  • Nobody here hates you for talking about your problems. They dislike the way that you post as if you're asking for advice and then only engage as if everyone is failing you because they haven't given you a one-sentence miracle cure to your depression. The people being pre-emptively harsh on you here are doing so because they know that you're FookReddit69 and Kimdracula, so they have seen the routine before

  • [confused conservative noises]
  • See this clearly isn't the actual meaning because this definition only applies to fiction. See, for example, Conservative party former Home Secretary of the UK Suella Braverman describing protestors opposing her anti-protest bill as the "tofu-eating wokerati"

  • Mandorule
  • Beautiful! Playing mandolin is a weird experience for me as a guitar player. Like... I know how this all works, it looks familiar, but it's upside down and everything is very close together. It's a lovely sound though.

  • Sex work would probably be less stigmatized in a currencyless society
  • While I agree with you that I don't think OP has correctly described what they're actually thinking about, there is plenty of sex work that doesn't involve actually having physical sex with anyone. Like a solo porn model, or erotic dancers

  • Sex work would probably be less stigmatized in a currencyless society
  • It seems like you mean a post-scarcity society rather than a currencyless one. Sex work done to earn a living is still done to earn a living if it's in a society that distributes goods and services in another way. I'd hope that the sex worker in question is getting personal fulfilment from it, but unless their basic needs are covered regardless then it seems foolishly optimistic to assume that it's the case

  • Tea versus Coffee
  • I do love a coffee, but try to limit my intake for caffeine reasons. The flavour is lovely. I've got a few different ways of brewing it at home, but a cafetiere is probably my go-to. I will admit to being quite partial to a mug of milky decaf instant coffee in the evenings too, but that feels... a bit disconnected from coffee proper.

    I am a total failure as a Brit in that I do not actually like black tea. Green tea, mint tea, mint green tea, and yerba mate are all great though. The black tea is in my cupboards solely for guests only

  • Tea versus Coffee
  • I don't know where you're from so you might be familiar with this anyway, but this is actually really popular at football matches in the UK. It's made with bovril rather than a stock cube, but the idea is the same

  • What "unique" or single-game-genre games have you enjoyed?
  • Echoes of the Eye does at least give you a sort of second playthrough

    I think Tunic is probably the closest feeling to Outer Wilds I've gotten so far. The moment-to-moment gameplay is quite different, but the broad scale feels close
