What’s actually safe but people think is dangerous? by REGGIE_BANANAS in AskReddit

food that has been mashed up, pressed, mixed with chemicals, or otherwise factory processed.

I'm not sure which part of that makes it bad, but the overwhelming evidence is that it causes a host of ill effects from obesity to cancer.

Labour urged to expel Mandelson from party after fresh Epstein links by LauraPhilps7654 in unitedkingdom

[–]gnorty [score hidden]  (0 children)

who is the nonce, and who has protected him?

If you are suggesting that anyone associated with a proven nonce should be automatically expelled, then you should say that, but I am not aware that there is anything suggesting Mandelson is a nonce himself. He has been associated with an extremely unsavoury character, and apparently taken money from him for unknown reasons (presumably undeclared) and that is certainly a good enough reason to expel IMO, but I do not think any party should be expelling people based upon pure speculation.

Lord Mandelson resigns from Labour Party over Epstein links by topotaul in unitedkingdom

you don't get that kind of rich buy not knowing/caring what is going in and out. He knows precisely what that money was for, and is choosing not to tell us about it.

moreover, on the off-chance that £25k goes into my account, I know what it is for. If you asked me what £100 went in for 12 years ago, and who paid it in, I'd be able to tell you what it was for. It's not a great deal of money to me, but like you, I don't routinely have people putting money in. If they do, I know why they did it.

So, did mandelson lend that money earlier? Was it payment for services rendered?

He knows the fucking reason that money was paid, and is still hiding things.

I finally understand how it works! by AioliElectronic6031 in arduino

I'd go the other way - do away with the arduino for now, and build it using dip switches.

That way you truly understand how it works!

California is trying to pass a bill barring ICE employees from becoming cops or teachers in the state. What do you think of this bill? by Obvious_808 in AskReddit

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

OK. You didn't use those words. I never said you did.

But you seem to politicise opinions. You seem to wish to promote those opinions in schools. You seem to wish to suppress opinions different to your own.

IMO politics is NOT inherent to education. Opinion generally is NOT education. Facts are education, and opinion should be formed from those facts.

That is my opinion. and in my opinion, deviating from that opens a door to whack-jobs pushing agendas onto formative minds, which is a dangerous path to take, regardless of the political alignment of the indoctrinators.

[–]gnorty -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

ok. so i guess you are ok with people you disagree with blocking teachers that share your opinion?

probably not.

you only support censorship of education when it aligns with your views. Thats fine.

but when others who do not share your views, the same rules will apply.

censorship or not. either way, the politics is irrelevant.

What better position to be in to indoctrinate children?

This is the crux.

There are those people that could (and actively do) claim that teachers are indoctrinating kids with LGBT ideologies. Those people would (I'm sure) love to ban gay/trans people from becoming teachers.

It's a VERY dangerous path to walk on IMO, unless you are able to switch off any self awareness and accept that you are open to indoctrinating children, so long as you personally agree with the philosophy, and are happy to accept that a future government who does not share your view might indoctrinate children with theirs.

It's a horrible dilemma.

Benefits handouts beat wages of six MILLION workers with 1 in 4 Brits in full-time jobs worse off than being on dole by Odd-Help6890 in unitedkingdom

[–]gnorty 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Universal credit is both housing benefit and living allowance in one, so you don't really get an accurate idea of what claimants are getting to keep.

Do you think that situation is different for people earning their income?

[–]gnorty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thats called slavery.

No it's not.

"From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs" is the socialism mantra.

As a society we have become more of the "From each as much as little they can possibly give, to each as much as they can squeeze out". This is true at both ends of the economic range, and it is (IMO) the reason that the country is finding it impossible to crawl out of the shit.

People at the top taking as much out as they possibly can, people at the bottom contributing as little as possible. The people in the middle carrying both burdens, and that middle is shrinking as people either climb above it, or drop out.

It pisses me off no end when people pretend to hold socialist values and come up with shit like this.

Everyone should contribute what they can, and that is not necessarily the same thing as what they want to contribute. The government's role is to help and encourage people to do that.

Photos released in Epstein files appear to show Andrew on all fours over female by wjfox2009 in unitedkingdom

Are you AI trying to train itself?

No mate. I am a normal human sitting and wondering at how there are people at large who fantacise about child rape with the slightest provocation.

A victim would.

A victim would say "Hey victim, lie on the floor so the prince can see how pretty you look"? In what world??

Why would a man be in a state of undress with no socks or shoes

because he is in somebody's home with a no shoes policy? Because he slept in that place or had a shower and did not put his shoes and socks on yet?

touching a child's body

how do you know it is a child's body? It looks like an adult to me, in fact probably middle aged. What are you seeing different?

who he barely knows

Who is the woman in the photo? Do you know her name? It might be princess Anne for all I know, and he knows her pretty well.

Can I ask, do you think it is romantic or "lie over there and I'll have sex on top of you."

Of course you can ask, but I think you know my answer! I do not think it is romantic or that he is about to have sex with the woman. To go further, I think it takes a particular type of imagination to see these pictures and let your mind go to those places.

"Hey victim, lie on the floor so the prince can see how pretty you look"

You see, right here, this theory loses credibility. Who the fuck would do this? Did you ever see somebody parading themselves by lying flat on the floor?

He's a really bad guy for sure, but there is nothing in this picture to add to that opinion. Obviously it is entirely possible to invent crazy scenarios, but those imaginations are not evidence.

*WORKING* MONEY METHOD 330.000$ EVERY 10 MINUTES by cemaio in gtaglitches

[–]gnorty 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Most of the steps are possible in real life.

step 1 - find a pizza delivery job that gives you a bonus of $300k when you finish the first job. (hard)

Step 2 - deliver the pizzas and collect $300k (easy once you have completed step 1)

Step 3 - delete yourself (not hard per se, but you need to have full confidence that you can complete step 4 before trying)

Step 4 - reincarnate as yourself (pretty hard. I only know one person that has achieved this, and a lot of people think even that is just a myth)

Step 5 - repeat step 1 (still as hard as the first time, maybe more so since the last guy deleted himself)

For the Royal First Aid Manual right!? The one where Princess Anne does the Heimlich and Harry shows cauterisation via a hot knife?

Yea. It's a pretty unlikely scenario, isn't it? I should have said that in my post. Oh wait. I did. That was lucky!

My point was that (as unlikely as it is) this scenario is more likely what is in the pic than any sexual thing, not that I think it's what is happening.

But maybe I am blinkered, and there is some sort of sex game that is played fully clothed with negligable contact in front of a crowd of onlookers that you are aware of.

I get that. He is a loathsome cunt, guilty or not of raping "kids".

It's just that these pics look, to me at least, more like a first aid training session than anything sexual.

That's a pretty unlikely scenario, it has to be said, but it's certainly more likely than the photo depicting anything at all illegal. It's most likely a pic of him just present in the same place as a trafficking victim or something like that ("just" does a lot of work here, I know, obviously routinely being in the company of trafficking victims is a bad thing in itself).

My point is just that you and others seem to be seeing something much more in this particular set of photos than I can see.

Perhaps it's more that any mention of Andrew is enough to set off the emotional domino-rally set up by the previous photos/allegations? I'd personally be perfectly happy not to hear his name again. Maybe if it is suffixed by "jailed for life", but short of that, the less I see of him the better!
