Veles @menkvi.bsky.social · 09/10/2026How long after giving blood is it still acceptable to give yourself little treats to "get my strength back up"? 210
Veles @menkvi.bsky.social · 07/10/2026I'm against assisted dying in part because if you have any sort of non-trivial mental health condition it's evident the NHS wants nothing more than for you to die 031
Veles @menkvi.bsky.social · 07/10/2026When I went to Madagascar we were warned not to get sent to prison or we could catch bubonic plague. Plague is usually making the rounds somewhere unfortunately, it's not that unusual. 210
Veles @menkvi.bsky.social · 05/10/2026The Bible is banned extensively, Orlando might even be on the verge of being outlawed in Bavarian schools, 1984 is 1984'd in many countries, and so on. 010
Veles @menkvi.bsky.social · 05/10/2026I think the whole Banned Books Week thing is good but BlueSky is not exactly beating the American-centric allegations when it's (after clicking through several pages in the website!) only limited to vague "challenges" against books in U.S. libraries. Many great books are outlawed in many countries! 210

Veles @menkvi.bsky.social · 05/10/2026You are unlikely to be in a position to directly stop your friend raping someone. The question is more "are you willing to stand up to a friend when he talks about something that sounds like sexual assault but it's hard to tell and there's probably two sides to this and he's a nice person..." 020
Veles @menkvi.bsky.social · 05/10/2026German jokes used to be a favourite. David Cameron was told off for one around the 2010 election. 041
Veles @menkvi.bsky.social · 05/10/2026I would support a Youth Council. You get elected to a local council and can only talk about budgets, planning permission, potholes, etc. 210
Veles @menkvi.bsky.social · 03/10/2026"We'd be speaking German" in conservative circles is less specifically about linguistics and more about the implication of living under a totalitarian Germanic bureaucracy. 1163
Veles @menkvi.bsky.social · 03/10/2026There've been issues with overselling tickets, people not allowed to spend very long with it, long queue times, and a few days ago a large number of people with tickets were turned away because the BM double booked them with a private function. 110
Veles @menkvi.bsky.social · 02/10/2026There was a lot of good will and excitement towards the British Museum when the Bayeux Tapestry exhibition opened so it's a shame to see them cock it up. Already seen several membership cancellations because they've annoyed people so much! 140
Veles @menkvi.bsky.social · 02/10/2026A while ago I was looking over tithe records when I found a field called "Shitler's field." Of course, I had to go to the archives to see what the digital transcription error was. But there wasn't one. Perhaps the surveyor made a mistake? Today I found him. Mr. Shitler. 110
Veles @menkvi.bsky.social · 02/10/2026It seems hubristic for Jacob Geller to have started a public career whilst what he did was out in public, waiting to be discovered. 080
Veles @menkvi.bsky.social · 01/10/2026I'm very sorry to hear that. I hope you are on the road to recovery from it. 110
Veles @menkvi.bsky.social · 01/10/2026A lot of studies have been conducted on American men who attend college concerning sexual crimes; something like 5-7% self report behaviour that would count as rape. Once you include sexual assault, it creeps higher and higher. There is clearly a problem in those spaces. 110

Veles @menkvi.bsky.social · 30/09/2026I'd be genuinely interested to hear from the people who campaigned for a second referendum on exiting the EU, whether they'd support one this time or whether they'd be happy with the government just doing it themselves. 000

Veles @menkvi.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Significant chance they were just stealing stuff from nearby farms, which interestingly would make this the first ever time the police have attempted to stop a case of rural crime 1173
Veles @menkvi.bsky.social · 28/09/2026I don't think "sorry nothing we can do, blame Trump" is going to go down well with voters 000
Veles @menkvi.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Labour are really going to have to get a handle on this situation but I genuinely don't know what they can do 100

Veles @menkvi.bsky.social · 28/09/2026I was at a social event the other night and happened to look up, and a woman I hadn't spoken to was staring at me so intently I think she was trying to make me explode with her mind. 040

Veles @menkvi.bsky.social · 22/09/2026You can tell what demographics are disproportionately represented on UK BlueSky when "fuel prices too high? Why do you not simply buy an electric car or take public transport?" is considered a sensible comment 020
Veles @menkvi.bsky.social · 21/09/2026They also require this if you register as a finder which is surely just going to deter people? 010
Veles @menkvi.bsky.social · 21/09/2026Healthy open database gets a bit antiquated, goes to coders, gets pumped full of pointless UI remodelling and changes - USELESS. Many such cases! 110
Veles @menkvi.bsky.social · 21/09/2026For some reason the Portable Antiquities Scheme now prevent you exporting their data unless you ("ideally") know someone at the Scheme or an archaeologist. ...Why? Did they have issues with rogue data analysis or something? Seems rather excessive. 110

Veles @menkvi.bsky.social · 19/09/2026Was looking through some old oral histories of the area because I'm bored and one man keeps referring to "The Meeting" [caps his] which was "regular" and "had a traumatic history" but he refuses to elaborate further. 110
