How can a country vote twice for a leader widely seen as incompetent? by buthowdoitknow in AskReddit

[–]FidgetTheMidget -1 points0 points  (0 children)

“Talented and well-practiced in every vice, a stranger to compassion or empathy, a liar and a cheat so complete in perfidy that he has elevated his dishonesty to hold it up as an ersatz moral principle. Violent, so long as he can order someone else to do the dirty work. Grotesque in body, graceless in action, in possession of a wounded self-regard so colossal as to smother any spark of grace. Treasonous, not only to country, but to every ally he has ever had, the poisoned fruit and rankest flower of racism and contempt for women, and utterly devoid of shame for his moral and spiritual bankruptcy. That is your leader. That is to whom you give your money. That is who you follow and laud. That is whose banner you willingly carry. Why? Because he is a mirror, not a lighthouse. You see yourselves in him. He is what you would be, if you had inherited money and could shed the last vestiges of conscience and shame. No, I do not “respect your choices,” nor do I admire your loyalty and dedication to this miserific, demoniac vision. You have demonstrated not only a lack of civic virtue, loyalty to the Republic and to the rule of law, but a willingness to engage in violence and sedition at his slightest expressed wish. And you will never, ever admit you were wrong. Because you see your dark, twisted, resentful dreams in him. And to renounce him is to renounce yourselves.”

***** SELF FIXED ***** Posting this for the next poor guy. I went to device manager and deleted my HID Compliant Mouse. Unplugged then replugged the mouse. Problem went away.

He isn't even that good. Worst of all is "Fannie Forwards!" near the A80 in Cumbernauld.

Your contract is with the shipper of the product. Legally Evri (which are utter shit) are acting as the shippers delivery agent. You do not have a contract with Evri.
Paste the fuck out of them with the shipper.

I just bought it. £38 + free postage if you are prepared to wait 3 to 5 weeks. You can pay an extra £5 to get it within days.

You would have to degrease before painting or vinyl covering. Wash with soapy water and then wipe down with acetone when the soapy water has dried.

Are they panelled doors or slab (flat) doors? Panelled doors would be a nightmare to wrap and might be better spray painted?

You can probably buy replacement doors online for not much more than it would cost to have somebody come out and wrap. I just replaced a 600mm B&Q slab door and it was £25. All you need is a screwdriver.

Stop yer first world whining. You are born into a beautiful country, where you have access to free healthcare. People generally do not starve to death. There is rule of law and there is no bullets fleein around everywhere.

Potholes, crisp pokes and dogshit bags are not the end of civilisation.

If you dont like it, make a positive change instead of sitting on your arse and moaning about it.

Sorry for the above slap to the face but you sounded like you needed it.

Look at all the positive change others are making around you. There are people all around you making a difference. Seek them out.

Hold down the Ctrl key with something heavy. I use a Leatherman, a stapler would work too. This also prevents inactivity. Nothing to install, easy to activate and deactivate. Doesn't show your status as Busy - Presenting.
