More accurately, the law (which is about the same as the EU law and large parts of EU consumer law were actually modelled on our consumer law) has to have clearly defined edges. IIRC it stipulates that the “real” price advertised during a sale must have been the price for a minimum of X months (not sure what exactly, I think it’s six).

That’s why we’re currently seeing toothpaste for £7 - so they can do the price drop promo in 6 or so month’s time without breaking advertising law while at the same time raising the baseline price in our psyches.

Not true. The only study I could find has it at 50-50 with Muslim countries, Israel and the US being clear outliers. This is US-centric thinking.

Woops! Ty!

…not everyone gets circumcised at birth. I got circumcised in my 30s due to phymosis. No one undergoes FGM at any age for any medical reason. Conflating the two is deeply unhelpful to both the stigma around medical circumcision and to protect people from the brutality of FGM. Not every country is America.

Video game worker here. I used to get 5-15 inMails a week offering me an interview. This year? 2. In total. The industry is brutal right now.

This is a false comparison. Circumcision has actual medical uses (e.g. phymosis, cancer, balanitis). FGM does not.

If 10 people are sitting at a table being civil to 1 Nazi, there are 11 Nazis at the table and all that.

And people always forget. “Why do vegans go on and on about it?” Because we want to be able to eat? For my stag do, my brother forgot THREE times to get me vegan products. THREE. And then complained because I “mention it too much”…I just wanna eat!
