What is going wrong with that one (face is longer than it should be)

I'm in the UKGoons discord (listed under the Commies). Which channel is most like this thread for future reference?

Two forums I used to be an active member of folded in 2011 and their replacements never really worked, being abandoned within months.

Several of us from each of those forums are on FB - one forum I met quite a few in real life, the other - none in real life but 9 years later we're still friends (and 'beyond the call of duty' friends in a couple of cases!)

Some people though have no interest in joining FB and all good intentions of staying in touch via email soon wither and die, email is not conducive to 'water cooler chat' type conversations, and there comes a point for many when FB force you to put your real name (or something demonstrably close to your real name) on an account. I'm reluctant to do that with politics because there is too much screenshotting of things posted by people in their real names going on (on FB).

Imagine the whole discord as being like this thread, except split into separate topics. That's probably the best way to think of it. Ultimately though, it's not the same format as the forum and never will be

There's channels for everything but I guess the main difference is that there's a politics channel and a chat channel whereas this is sort of both. So either comrade chat or ukpol depending on your taste.

He's not stupid at all, he's a paid troll whose job is to fart right wing opinions all day.

I mean, he probably does have a whole bunch of dipshit opinions all on his own, but the reason that him and Tom Harwood and all the other little slugs like them persist in just "not getting it" is because if they "got it" then they'd be out of a job.

do be quiet

be careful with your langauge there buddy, "do be quiet" is the sort of phrasing that triggers class conscious fists to fly into your smarmy upper middle class face. also try and avoid the terms "nonsense" and "poppycock" as they can be extremely triggering to people with proper jobs.

Hmm, at the moment that is tricky because there has been a slew of new folks arriving.

Personally would advise joining the discord and aiming at UKPOL thread. It is usually the most similar, though not exactly the same. It's a lot easier to respond more quickly.

Keep safe everyone.

but he wont, because he sees himself modding gbs and making money for lowtax for the forseeable future. let that percolate through your completely smooth brains for a moment :)

I lurk.

I'm bad at posting.

I like reading other peoples points as I've never been big on believing i had much of worth to say. I like this thread and the people in it. But never felt I was a good poster to dive in.

With all that said: Jose. I know you know you're just stirring poo poo for your own amusement. But your posts are really boring and i'd like to go back to lurking and enjoying good posts to distract me from the fact the the bloody Covid will probably kill me and my partner if we ever get it.

It's my wee ray of sunshine in a dull world. Please just stop. It's gotten to where I've hit the post button, and that way lies madness.

phew just caught up with this thread. Been here for several years, and learnt a lot, didn't really make any friends but then I don't really see this as a "community" as such, more a really valuable place for communication and analysis, and it's fairly unique in the sense that it can't easily be replicated on Discord if the plug was to be pulled. Whatever happened over the last few pages with some aggrieved rando throwing a wobbly is no joke probably the worst the thread has ever been (not in the sense that I have an opinion on jose, but more like I didn't come here to read about a specific poster) , but it's still way better than reddit. Maybe there should be a helldump type subforum to contain the weird drama stuff?

you can tell anopheles mosquitoes from culex mosquitoes by their palps (non leg wiggly bit by the side of their proboscices, short on culex, proboscis length on anopheles) and their wings (transparent on culex, patterned on anopheles). aedes are like black and white spotted and pretty distinctive

anopheles carry malaria, culex carry all sorts of things, particularly west Nile fever but also nematodes, and aedes do things like dengue, yellow and also west Nile fevers

the little bastards round here (swampier bits of the Wirral) are some sort of culex, I'm p sure based on extensive examination of the many many of them I have been forced to kill
