Sanitary Naptime posted:Sometimes abstaining is the best strategy. People seem to forget that 1) he's been an MP for half his life and 2) he loves boring hobbies like reading handbooks on procedure. Like it seems, based on records I can see back to 1992, no one used the Humble Address until Corbyn's shadow cabinet (15x now).

So when you see replies like this to tweets and they just seem a bit off, everyone calls them bots. https://twitter.com/Ima96242672/status/1170031993226244096 What do they mean by that? It doesn't seem like the message itself has been automatically written by a bot, and when I go through the account's tweets and replies most seem to have been written by a (non-native speaking) person. It's all just slightly...off.

Minority profile pic supporting a conservative is a tipoff, numbers in the name is a tipoff, the weirdly repetitive text is a tipoff, all the posts are about politics with no apparent personal life or interests outside of supporting conservatives, very small number of followers, etc.

A Twitter username which is just name + 8 numbers means they didn't put their own username in, doesn't always mean it's a bot, might be laziness sometimes. Also they're not exclusively right-wing, I've seen e.g. pro-Corbyn tweets from them before.

Aye, but actually having the wit and nerve to obey "Never interrupt your opponent when he is making a mistake" is a skill of its own.

Corbyn is a good parliamentarian; he’s not a particularly effective speaker in the weird theatre that is parliamentary debate (not awful but not great) but he knows the rules and as mentioned above, has the discipline to keep quiet when there’s no need to speak.

Bardeh posted:I genuinely believe that Boris thinks he'll be able to roll up to the EU summit and do his usual bluster and bad jokes and nice guy act and then all of a sudden the EU are going to give him some amazing deal, and then he'll return home borne on the back of flying unicorns and everyone will kiss his feet and his deal will pass parliament unanimously. That's also a great metaphor for Brexit and gammons and post-empire Britain as well.

I don't know how Corbyn doesn't end up screaming about the disingenuous shites the media/the conservatives/the lib dems are and how they're loving up the country. Other than good sense I suppose.

Lets see: a GE gurantees no deal Declining GE gurantees a tory civil war Id go for declining a GE. Corbyns a loving genius. Because hes basically swallowing they key to bojos jail which is a minority government. Why would corbyn roll the dice when he already has an air tight trap.

When Tumblr did their own post-election bot-finding-and-banning expedition, since the site's membership is/was primarily (mostly) socially progressive, all the "bots" were reposting and reblogging whatever sourced or unsourced "make everyone who supports trump look as racist and stupid as possible across the board" posts they could find or make up.

I was just cordially invited to "Get hosed you Labour supporting tr*nny bastard" by a gentleman on Facebook. To provoke his ire I observed that "just following orders" was not accepted as a criminal defence. However I don't think I can really report him because I do want to get hosed, I do support Labour, I am a tran, and my parents were indeed unmarried. Uncanny how he's got my number actually. (That's a joke I did report for all the good it'll do) E; perhaps unnecessary to add but he did not censor the slur)

I was trying to figure out why this proposal was even considered serious within the U.K. Government, who must well know the EU's position. It comes down to a short list of points: 1) The government expects that technology will solve customs for non-agrifood products. Some kind of fantasy where Northern Irish agrifood regulations are harmonized with the EU and Ireland, while a camera at the border does everything else. 2) Stormont gets to nix almost any deal, maybe? Apparently the EU/Irish position is that 1 is OK, as long as it applies to all goods and 2 is unacceptable because it is negotiating a deal with a unilateral take back clause which will be decided by a political body that does not currently meet and is not involved in negotiations. Anyway, the U.K. Government is stupid as hell for proposing this. Someone had to have said "we have to do something!" MickeyFinn fucked around with this message at 10:01 on Sep 7, 2019 |

Since you guys like nature & garden-y stuff from time to time, last night me and my fiance took about 90 kilos of apples from her moms allotment to a juicer and made a bout 40 liters of juice.  We pasteurized the majority of it and put it in 10 liter kegs, though we also got these plastic bags and paper boxes to put them in:  Also left some unpasteurized but all that has to be frozen or drunk within days, or fermented into cider. I have to say I hope I age as well as the guy who owns the juicer place, he was over 80 when we first started going there around 2013 or so and he's still going, taller than me (I'm 6'2") and he lifts these heavy rear end bags like it's nothing onto the scale when we get there.
