We did offer £21m for Berahino But only because he was young and the club thought we could get £50m for him 2 years down the line. For years we had a policy of never signing anyone over 25 Even now, despite Rafa demanding experience we've got the youngest team in the league.

It's the result of a buy to sell policy and the refusal to speculate to accumulate. The result is relegation and speculate to prevent lost value. Yet still the likes of Craig Bellamy call Mike Ashley a great businessman

That might make you feel like you won yourself a better deal but without knowing the value of your worth against others you don't really know whether you did win something more or not. There is a hidden component to it all, exploitation. In the absence of trade unions knowing what the benchmarks are is of use. For example I once applied for a job where the advert said salary between X and X depending on experience. In the interview when asked what salary I was looking for I plumped for the middle number, not having a clue what my own value was except from previous employment as a reference. I was then offered the job with a salary offer that was the max, but I had no idea how they came to that conclusion. The market doesn't work in favour of the worker if the worker is required to have a personality lacking in agreeableness in order to reduce the probability of being mugged off.

Domestication is the product of civilisation. You can kill a dog in a premeditated attack, you can find it impossible to kill a dog, your brain is malleable. Killing animals for food is part of that malleability, there is no urge within. You are acting out of intelligence and it is no more natural than to enslave your fellow human.

It's a useless measure but it doesn't mean discrimination doesn't exist. Unless you do something radical like the Norweigens do where everyone gets to know each others salary then whatever discrimination is left will continue to go under the radar. Statisticians can't estimate discrimination on these large national scales because the data never goes deep enough, there isn't the time or man power to do that.

Well. That was an interviewer out of their depth against a highly trained and serial debater. At times it was hard to watch. That is also the first time I have ever seen Jordan Peterson smile or laugh. He is usually riled up, miserable, shouty and angry.

Mixture. Never liked red meat in the first place and by the time I was 18 I probably already had a 95%+ vegetarian diet. Still consumed products that aren't vegetarian, like certain sweets, snacks and beers, still had leather shoes and belts. It wasn't until about 26 years old that I took on all the trappings of vegetarianism properly. I don't tell people I am vegetarian until the last minute if necessary. I once told a girl 3 dates in and my best friend from school has no idea, despite all the times we went to McDonald's and I only bought fries he hasn't put 2 and 2 together

Lab meat isn't vegetarian and is unlikely to ever be. Looks more like a utilitarian reduction of harm which means it might be a question for meat eaters more than anyone.

There might be overlap between the caricature of a hipster vegan and political demands of the state owned Bank of England, but the two are not exclusive. Vegetarianism is a political position and the two sides can only keep up the facade that it is a consumer one for so long. Every now and then the mask slips.

Some real project fear against veganism going on in this thread

Happy Blue is built like a brick shithouse

I don't have the patience to wait longer than 15 minutes prep and cooking time for food to be ready so I've never been much of a foodie. To be honest the average healthy breakfast and lunch aren't much different between vegetarians and non-vegetarians, the substitutions are easier, it's dinner time that sort of throws up the what do I do now to get the calories. I tend to go Italian if I want to load up on carbs and Indian for something more balanced. If anyone finds any vegetarian/vegan meals that are 500-750 calories I'd like to see them, so many recipes out there are low calorie intended for stick thin girls. There is still this assumption that vegetarian means eating more vegetables in restaurants as well. I've been to restaurants where the portion looks massive but in reality you burn more calories chewing some veg than the veg actually gives you.

Wtf Pedro

The club isn't for sale anymore after we got 3 points at home to Luton today.

Beardsley under investigation for bullying kids again

Twitter rumours (no journalists yet) that the Saudi royal family have bought the club, to be announced on Saturday

I'm finding i'm just not on the edge of my seat anymore

And David Attenborough said there was less fish in the sea

Just goes to show the league is becoming as uncompetitive as it has been since the 1800's.

I thought your avatar was Mourinho, I didn't realise it was you

125th anniversary of the club. Here is the greatest Newcastle team voted for by the fans: Shay Given David Craig - Bobby Moncur - Philipe Albert - John Beresford Peter Beardsley - Paul Gascoigne - David Ginola Jackie Milburn - Alan Shearer - Kevin Keegan In true Newcastle United style this team just simply won't be able to defend

Ashley is claiming that there's another bidder willing to pay £320m Sounds like he is making it up to make staveley bid more

That is a danger but we still can't assert that to be true yet because they haven't started on the framework stage let alone the actual trade deal. What we mainly have are a lot of contradictory semantics, a lot of fudge that makes little sense in full. For that reason it stillp leaves open enough of the possibility of an agreement that expands sovereign safe guards and decentralisation during stages two and three. The only certainty from round one is the removal of the three threats made by Trumpsters, firstly the threat of bankrupting the EU, secondly no deal threat and thirdly the threat of deregulation undercutting. The EU has successfully made the UK remove these threats in exchange for negotiating the framework of a future deal. That seems a fair enough process to have happened. Not that the loudest voices in Britain (continuity remain and the Trumpsters) would ever want you to consider. The dereg fanboys want no deal WTO because they know full well that if they don't prove that we don't need the single market via surviving without a trade deal then they won't get maximum regulatory sovereignty to deregulate. That is now off the table, so it's probably fair enough that they are kicking and screaming in their high chairs.
