Fans posted:Then Stella Creasy tried to call Cameron out on PFI deals, forgetting those were Blairs thing. It's got to be a sad time to be a Blairite, they used to be slick. They're actually a Major thing, he passed them in 1992. Harriet Harman decried it as an attack on public services at the time. How things change. Guavanaut posted:Only if it is separately distinct, like the Tsar Nicholas. For the record, he was Imperator Nicholas. Russia stopped being a Tsardom in the 1700s, despite the mistaken use of it since.

If the other Church on Blood was meant, I've not been, but from pics it still looks quite cool. The latter, the one in Sverdlovsk/Yekaterinburg. Where Imperator Nick tasted lead.

What does the victim think of all this, at this point? It feels like she's been thrown under the bus by the motives of the people trying this charge.

He's not a convicted rapist, sure. But he's almost definitely a rapist and I don't have a reasonable doubt of his being guilty of at least one of the charges, poi-san-allie

Regarde Aduck posted:It's been going on that long I've forgot most of the case. What's the compelling evidence he did actually rape someone? Testimony of the victims, for me. I mean no, I don't have video evidence of him going "and now I, Julian Assange, will rape you, mwaahahahahaha" on camera and then doing so, but the timing of the victims reports and lack of previous acquaintance between them is compelling enough for me. I mean, I tend to assume the alleged rape victim isn't lying for shits and giggles, so I admit I'm biased.

Yes, I'm sure the Swedish leftists were actually American CIA plants who used their hoover vaginas to suck in his penis to cry rape so that America could chuck him in Gitmo.

I agree that the amount of time and effort put into this case is clearly political in nature, but dropping the "rape is awful" principle because it doesn't fit your political narrative is as gross as the people dismissing the victims in Cologne just because racists tried to co-opt them.

It's not like WikiLeaks even needs Assange around, it has other people on staff who are perfectly capable of running it. All he's doing is permanently associating any leaks with "oh by the way WikiLeaks founder and still-current staff member Rapey Assange is still hiding in an embassy, let's talk about that instead of the horrific corruption that was uncovered."

(Eurofash chat) By the way big scary monsters I like OhYeah pulling the "I have plenty of immigrant friends" card when he is a massive racist. We were lamenting in D&D chat that we can only find left-wing Latvians and Lithuanians on the forums and all the Estonians are far-right scum. Comical since Estonian is closer to Finnish than the other Baltics and they share the same neo-Nazi tendancy too.

I posted that a few pages back, I loved the green screen twist Coohoolin posted:It's funny because in my experience Estonians tend to be more lefty than Latvians and Lithuanians. Although then again I know far more Lithuanians than anyone else so might be skewed... Being closer to Finland they benefited from seeing social democracy in action so that tends to skew it. The problem is that SA doesn't necessarily pick the representatives of the general public for its posters, hence why UKMT leans left while the country leans fash. If you know any Estonian goons pls share.

big scary monsters posted:I don't really know most of the posters there yet having previously only read the thread when drinking. There's a German guy who doesn't seem that keen on Greeks and a Finnish guy who seems pretty excitable and then a bunch of others who post things about immigrants...? A good crowd, I'm sure. Someone a few days ago referred to it as "the place where each regional politics thread delegates its worst posters to circlejerk about how bad foreign people are with one or two patient leftists to add variety" Which isn't really fair as our only regular poster in there is LemonDrizzle who isn't awful. I post in there from time to time but it's just so many lovely racist posts that I end up basically finding myself in a flame war within two posts. I really should just unfollow it but I want to know what's happening around Europe, just without all the Nazis coming to stroke their dicks about dead Syrians.

I thought that whole point of a salt is that it's half organic, half-inorganic. Or do you mean naturally-occuring?

Yes, but sodium chloride is half organic (Chlorine) and half inorganic (Sodium). I suppose what I meant was that the cations are provided by metals and the anions by non-metals, as opposed to organic/inorganic which refers to the chemistry of those relative metal classifications.

Right, but it ionically bonds, which has always been the defining thing of inorganic chemistry, I mean like even going from the wikipedia page on 'inorganic chemistry' brings up salts almost immediately https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inorganic_chemistry#Key_concepts
