TBH the yikesness of her past seems more about people in her periphery rather than herself so I hope things work out for her and also causes a bunch more transphobes to get so mad they die of brain cancer.

Scikar posted:While there's a lot to be learned from the Catalonia situation, I don't think it actually makes much difference to Scottish independence strategy. There have been very different reactions from Spain over time, with the full range of "Scotland is totally different to Catalonia and we would have no problem with independent Scotland joining the EU" to "we absolutely cannot allow this precedent to be set". That reaction varies a lot with the latest developments in Catalonia of course, and I'm sure any serious movement on Scottish independence would feed back into that process as well. I think Spanish opposition is probable but far from the biggest barrier and I'm sure it could be worked around. An advisory referendum that is boycotted by all unionists will not send a clear message in my view, especially when the previous referendum had a turnout of 85%. Maybe I'm wrong, but I think there's a difference between what people will say now in terms of whether the Scottish Parliament should have the right to hold a referendum, and what they will say afterward if the No campaign is "stay home and boycott this sham" and the result comes in 98% Yes on a 45% turnout or similar. If you're of the view that a reason to reject the referendum will be invented no matter what, are you of the same view regarding the 2014 referendum?

I've got to say I'd probably prefer that someone with such a proven track record of complete blindness to paedophilia wasn't in a position of authority at Reddit, but given it's Reddit that's probably not a bug

Yeah the entire case sounds like catnip for the likes of Glinner (twatnip?) so I'm completely unsurprised and I can guess which side they're on. Even if she has done something bad and it's not just the people around her, which may be the case, it's a lot like as was mentioned earlier itt when a Traveller does a crime and the entire British and Irish press shits themselves and goes "see, see, we're not bigots we're just telling it like it is, there's proof and all!" while grinning and smearing it on the pages.

goddamnedtwisto posted:Just in case anyone was unsure how to think about the Reddit admin kerfuffle - all you need to know is Kiwifarms and Glinner have lined up on one side of the argument. Unfortunately I'm not sure this is all you need to know. She seems like a pretty scummy person, what with employing her dad who raped and tortured a 10 year old to be her campaign manager, and banning any and all mention of herself on the site. Oh and being married to and supportive of an open paedophile. I don't feel like it's an argument any decent person should wade into too heavily but yeah even if a ton of people are attacking her for all the wrong reasons, doesn't mean she's cool and good.

But I posted about it initially because in a statement a few days ago, the entire /r/ukpolitics subforum was closed after one of the moderators posted a link to a hate piece by Julie loving Bindel which specifically calls her out at the end. So I can also understand why the ban might have happened to stop terf poo poo being mainstreamed. The problem is that zero explanation was given for why it happened, so the freeze peach warriors have now flooded the sub and the official statement simply refers to a "spectator article" which makes "a three word mention of her in passing."

Re: Trampoline discussion: If things ever get back to normal, and you like fun, try to find out if there is "Adult Gymnastics" anywhere in your city or nearby. The local gymnastics gym in Milton Keynes did it 3 nights a week and it's amazingly fun. Basically it's a full gymnastics gym (so tumbling floor, parallel bars, rings, vaulting stuff, springy-floored vaulting track, pommel horse, tons of other equipment and mats and what have you and trampolines) and you just have the run of the place. Anything that you can or might launch yourself off of has a foam pit to land in where it's basically impossible to hurt yourself, and the people who go to these things are really friendly and any who know what they're on about are happy to teach others. Also there were typically 2-3 trained gymnastics instructors there who would teach you how to do stuff if asked (but otherwise just around to make sure nobody does anything too dangerous). Really really great and fun way to get fit, without it necessarily being too strenuous. WhatEvil fucked around with this message at 18:16 on Mar 24, 2021 |

Bobby Deluxe posted:ouuuh, i just nutted all over yer flag lol One of the other problems is that it looks like when Reddit did give an explanation, it doesn't seem to match up with events. Reddit claims that their anti-doxxing autofilter banned the moderator, but according to that mod and others, the offending comment was edited some time after it was originally posted to remove the text and replaced with a message that had a typo in it, and then edited afterward to remove the typo, which strongly implies that the action by the admins was manual, not automatic. It doesn't help that a few years ago there was a big controversy about the site's owner manually editing other people's posts because they said bad things about him, so it's hardly a break of form. Another reason this is causing a shitstorm is that, reddit being a cesspool, it's not uncommon for its moderators to get doxxed and harrassed, and a lot of mods are now mad that reddit previously has been of zero help to them when they were on the receiving end.

When you say "can't go beyond zone 9" do you mean because of getting service operators to agree and stuff or literally because Oyster systems cannot handle double digit zone numbers?
