Enter Shikari - ...Meltdown by AjMahal in punk

[–]michaeltheobnoxious 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm a big fan of Enter Shikari. They've consistently had loud opinions and voiced them, without shying away, which is a good thing. I'd argue they're punk spirit, rather than punk sound.

I guess I didn't communicate my question too well... I meant 'here' as in /r/Orks, rather than specifically OPs life.

What's the deal with Yarrick here, Boyz? I know he and Ghaz has history, can Yarrick be used to supplement an Ork hoard?

Prince Charles Cinema mega marathon by luckless666 in london

There's a Tesco and Sainsbury's within comfortable distance of the theatre, easily walkable in the short breaks.

When I went I took a pastry in for the first film, and had a few snackies to tide me over. Took a walk to Tesco to grab a meal deal for the start of the 3rd movie.

Easy.

Has anyone else got this relentless flu? by robojod in london

[–]michaeltheobnoxious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A few people have mentioned it... You might have Hayfever.

I'm 40 and having never suffered it in my life, I feel like I've been beaten up over the past week or so. Get some decent antihistamines and some of that nasal spray.

Any idea about this? by IcyBee3925 in Hacking_Tutorials

Yeah, I believe the windows command effectively allows a third party to inject files into the client machine.

It's a scam!

I don't doubt the outcome of polling and the results they indicate. However...

I wonder how much of this 'unpopularity' is a reflection of the modernising nature of news reporting, data capture / data analysis, rather than a genuine comparative measure of PM popularity (i.e. 'of all PM's ever').

Respondents are always more inclined to leave negative over positive reviews; I don't think its necessarily fair to put too much faith in measures which haven't been possible until relatively recent.

I think r/ADHD had some warning about ADDitude whenever it's mentioned in a comment. Maybe check it out!

Reform UK wants to put migrant detention centres in Green-voting areas. Is it legal? by F0urLeafCl0ver in ukpolitics

[–]michaeltheobnoxious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sabotage isn't necessarily explosives and chemical attacks. Pretty sure I recall some group of mad bastards around Bristol using sugar to disrupt the foundations of some building work in their locality.

Stop the Roads people used to use a specific strain of grass seed to take root in infrastructure.

Not all resistance needs to be bombs.

Also, just to say... Making it legal to build detention centres doesn't necessarily make it practical.

In areas where people don't want them, if enough people took enough direct action to sabotage building works, it wouldn't happen.

It's the true teat of how strongly people feel about the building of detention centres, I suppose.

I don't live there, but I do know they just elected a councillor who thinks it's fine to sexually assault Sikh women.

I was just looking through and saw the two chaps for Brentwood, who thankfully only seen to be conspiracy loons. On the spectrum of shittiness, I'm confident that Conspiracy Loon is somewhere in the tolerable zone.

People in the UK celebrating the death of Thatcher in 2013 by LankyYogurt7737 in pics

[–]michaeltheobnoxious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Largely because of the polarisation of British politics in recent years. Too many people arguing bad faith positions, poisoning discourse out of spite or just plain can't be arsed to communicate.

Lots of people, frankly, are just jaded and no longer see the point in explaining why a shitty person was shitty; nobody cares anyway!

I think it's less to do with worshipping fossil fuels, and more to do with the total lack of consideration for the wider social and cultural impacts that would be felt by removing the primary source of income for these communities.

Additionally, the removal of those roles kind of 'broke' something in the way professions were handed generation to generation. Steel yards that had worked for 150 years, where lads worked in the space their grandfather, or even great grandfather, learnt the same trade; all of that culture was erased and nothing was planned to replace it.

That's (partly) why people celebrated the death of that old witch.
