Yeah, exactly.

I genuinely don't think Keith and his lot would be doing anything any differently.

Like, he's out there today telling everyone exactly who he is and what he thinks. He wouldn't lift a finger to help with the cost of living crisis. He wouldn't lift a finger to deal with covid running rampant. He wouldn't do anything (except maybe further pursue internecine warfare)

I think I first heard them called dad music when If You Tolerate This came out so they were probably only early 30s when that happened. And despite liking a lot of it, I do think it's not necessarily that unfair a description of them post Holy Bible.

I enjoyed when they did Your Love Alone Is Not Enough even if James isn't necessarily equipped to sing Nina's lines, it's a nice song.

I do wish they'd do more stuff from Gold For The Soul live though, I get it was maligned at release but so was Pinkerton & now everyone acknowledges it as great, & GFTS has a lot of great tunes on it.

Oh if anyone is looking for cheap bug screens that are also cat proof I can highly recommend flat cats. They're a velcro fitted screen that can be sized to order and honestly are pretty decent. I've actually got them on all my windows and conservatory doors.

As Jaeluni said though they are an adhesive which will be a pain to remove depending on your windows, but it's a lot less damage than any other fixing method. I've got PVC frames around mine so it's not that much of a bother as a bit of acetone did the trick. We buy it in bulk because the partner likes gel nails. They also last about 1.5 years before you might need to replace the adhesive which I've just done today!


E: can someone explain what exactly c-spam is and why everyone in D&D and C-spam seem to get probated repeatedly for referencing duplicate threads in the other forum? I only really post in here and lurk in PYF because the internet is scary and you guys are all good eggs who eat the right kind of monster munch.

In D&D, if someone's being tedious and boring, you have to reply to their argument.

In C-SPAM you can roast them.

That's the difference.

Traditionally inter-sub forum slap fights are discouraged, & D&D and CSPAM snipe at each other because D&D is very decorum poisoned & CSPAM has some real feaks in among some very funny & also informative posters. Plus usual liberal vs leftist nonsense. UKMT honestly has more of a CSPAM vibe in that for as long as I've been reading it you tend to find idiots getting told to gently caress off a lot quite bluntly because there's acknowledgement that engaging in the substance of a trolling post is a waste of everyone's times.

The CSPAM vibe is very much "lol we are hosed so bad", but I think some of the faster moving threads (Trump thread, U/R war, probably some others I don't look at) get very weird & not necessarily the good kind of weird, but that's goons for you.

Yeah UKMT is essentially the only non-insufferable thread in D&D for this reason, and I'm glad that by and large the mods have kept their hands off it

0.000% of Communism has been built. Evil child-murdering billionaires still rule the world with a shit-eating grin. All he has managed to do is make himself *sad*. It has, however, made him into a very, very smart boy with something like a university degree in Truth. Instead of building Communism, he now builds a precise model of this grotesque, duplicitous world.
I would bet that Labour strategy is to mimic "Trump bad" without caring that media criticism of Boris is mild compared to that of Trump in the US, that Biden barely won, and that Biden actually had some good policies in his campaign.

We're right back in that post-2010 situation where there's a Tory government that nobody likes that much but a Labour opposition that exists for the purpose of standing for absolutely nothing and... Yep, it's pretty hopeless. I don't know what my point is.
