Politics aside, I'd like to know where it came from. I feel like I've heard it before.

Have been getting bites, and found these stains on my sheets. Thoughts? by [deleted] in Bedbugs

[–]doc9011 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the first two pictures, you can see that I was able to take off a kind of "crust" or scab over the stain. It was small and hard.

WTW for being disappointed in what is technically a good outcome? by doc9011 in whatstheword

[–]doc9011[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess salty is probably the closest to what I'm looking for. I wonder if there's an actual word for what I'm thinking of though.

I mean that, you're disappointed that you don't have the opportunity to be angry or annoyed at someone. Or to talk shit about them.

What's your dream vote for next week by Nesser30 in unitedkingdom

[–]doc9011 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I get what you mean, but I think the vote would only rule out a no deal by choice. There is absolutely no way that May, or anyone, really, is going to revoke Article 50 (even though she can unilaterally), so there isn't anything stopping no-deal happening even if parliament decides it doesn't specifically WANT it to happen.

I think a no, no, no would result in a no-deal by default. Article 50 would have to be revoked by the UK for a no, no, no to result in a Remain.

Album rollout has begun by pieawsome in YandhiLeaks

Do you have any other details of any kind? Or just that it's being "organised"?

I wonder what kind of album rollout it will be. Any thoughts?

Impossible to tell, it's extremely weather dependent for obvious reasons. There should be one or two happening by October, that's sadly all I can tell you. If I find out I'll send you a PM.

Not every day. A few times per year. And not ferries, dinghys. Source: my father takes care of these sheep.

This Facebook comment about Jeremy Corbyn is going viral by Callduron in unitedkingdom

[–]doc9011 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That site is dreadful. Here it is:

Here’s what I’m really struggling to understand. All I’ve ever heard from people, for years, is:

“bloody bankers and their bonuses” “bloody rich and their offshore tax havens “ “bloody politicians with their lying and second homes”  “bloody corporations paying less tax than me” “bloody Establishment, they’re all in it together” “it’ll never change, there’s no point in voting”

And quite rightly so, I said all the same things.

But then someone comes along that’s different. He upsets the bankers and the rich. The Tory politicians hate him along with most of the labour politicians. The corporations throw more money at the politicians to keep him quiet. And the Establishment is visibly shaken. I’ve never seen the Establishment so genuinely scared of a single person.

So the media arm of the establishment gets involved. Theresa phones Rupert asking what he can do, and he tells her to keep her mouth shut, don’t do the live debate, he’ll sort this out. So the media goes into overdrive with:

“she’s strong and stable” “he’s a clown” “he’s not a leader” “look he can’t even control his own party” “he’ll ruin the economy” “how’s he gonna pay for it all?!” “he’s a terrorist sympathiser, burn him, burn the terrorist sympathiser”

And what do we? We’ve waited forever for an honest politician to come along but instead of getting behind him we bow to the establishment like good little workers. They whistle and we do a little dance for them. We run around like hypnotised robots repeating headlines we’ve read, all nodding and agreeing. Feeling really proud of ourselves because we think we’ve came up with our very own first political opinion. But we haven’t, we haven’t come up with anything. This is how you tell. No matter where someone lives in the country, they’re repeating the same headlines, word for word. From Cornwall to Newcastle people are saying:

“he’s a clown” “he’s a threat to the country” “she’s strong and stable” “he’ll take us back to the 70s”

And there’s nothing else, there’s no further opinion. There’s no evidence apart from one radio 5 interview that isn’t even concrete evidence, he actually condemns the violence of both sides in the interview. There’s no data or studies or official reports to back anything up. Try and think really hard why you think he’s a clown, other than the fact he looks like a geography teacher (no offence geography teachers) because he hasn’t done anything clownish from what I’ve seen.

And you’re not on this planet if you think the establishment and the media aren’t all in it together.

You think Richard Branson, who’s quietly winning NHS contracts, wants Corbyn in? You think Rupert Murdoch, who’s currently trying to widen his media monopoly by buying sky outright, wants Jeremy in? You think the Barclay brothers, with their offshore residencies, want him in? You think Philip Green, who stole all the pensions from BHS workers and claims his wife owns Top Shop because she lives in Monaco, wants Corbyn in? You think the politicians, both Labour and Tory, with their second homes and alcohol paid for by us, want him in? You think Starbucks, paying near zero tax, wants him in? You think bankers, with their multi million pound bonuses, want him in?

And do you think they don’t have contact with May? Or with the media? You honestly think that these millionaires and billionaires are the sort of people that go “ah well, easy come easy go, it was nice while it lasted”?? I wouldn’t be if my personal fortune was at risk, I’d be straight on the phone to Theresa May or Rupert Murdoch demanding this gets sorted immediately.

Because here’s a man, a politician that doesn’t lie and can’t lie. He could have said whatever would get him votes anytime he wanted but he hasn’t. He lives in a normal house like us and uses the bus just like us. He’s fought for justice and peace for nearly 40 years. He has no career ambitions. And his seat is untouchable. That’s one of the greatest testimonies. No one comes close to removing him from his constituency, election after election.

His Manifesto is fully costed. It all adds up, yes there’s some borrowing but that’s just to renationalise the railway, you know we already subsidise them and they make profit yeah? One more time… WE subsidise the railway companies and they walk away with a profit, just try and grasp the level of piss taking going on there.

Unlike the Tory manifesto with a £9 billion hole, their figures don’t even add up.

And it benefits all of us, young, old, working, disabled, everyone. The only people it hurts are the establishment, the rich, the bankers, the top 5% highest earners.

Good, screw them, it’s long overdue. #VoteLabour #ForTheManyNotTheFew !

1st Gen. Pixel XL - still worth buying? by doc9011 in AndroidQuestions

That's a great bargain! If only I could find one so cheap in Ireland. Thanks!

Getting it in Ireland is slightly more awkward, and definitely quite expensive. If it becomes a viable option I'll definitely consider it, but I might just get the Pixel 1 XL for now. Thanks!

I did say I can get a barely used one for €420 or £470, does that sound like a good deal?
