When we went on our honeymoon a couple a few spaces in front of us got the free upgrade to 1st class by saying they were on honeymoon, and then we were stuck rooting through our luggage trying to find proof we got married the day before. Couldnt find it, didnt get the upgrade because the woman at the desk didn't believe us. It was annoyingly like that episode of friends they had to change after 9/11.

I have an idea, and it strikes me as an idea that would be very useful to this thread. Essentially a link saving app called 'receipts' or 'evidence,' and when you save a link to it, you can add tags to it. You can also add auto tag rules, like if it's from this site tag it as 'guardian,' if the title contains 'corbyn' tag as corbyn, if it's by brendan o'neil tag as brendan, tag tweets as tweet etc. Optional check boxes to submit it to archive.org for caching or take an indexed / tagged screenshot of the selected text.. The idea being that when you are in an argument and trying to find that guardian article or tweet or whatever, instead of having to try and dig through your bookmarks, history and likes on about 6 different apps, you have one easily searchable list that you can filter by tag. Half the images on my phone are things that were useful from around the referendum or useful in trying to argue various political points. But can I find them when I need them? Can I bollocks.

goddamnedtwisto posted:Interestingly I was working on something like this but there's big problems with integrating it onto a browser that aren't huge potential security risks that would stop any same person from downloading it. I tend to find most of my useful links browsing my phone, but I'm sure once you had the structure as an app it would be reasonably straightforward to convert to a browser add-on. Google signin has fairly decent inbuilt methods to back up the database either to your google docs or your google account. Later, when looking for the link, you type 'corbyn rafael behr heart attack' for example and it pulls up twitter style previews for anything you've saved that contains those tags. Like it doesn't need to be a shareable list, although that in itself could be an interesting second phase, letting you subscribe to other news curators lists and see what they've been publicly sharing as useful. The phase 2 idea also sounds like exactly the sort of thing that would get very rapidly turned into a disinformation tool though.

It feels like it's reaching tipping point and this is going to lead to a trans person getting killed except that happens all the loving time and nobody does anything, not anyone with the power to effect real change anyway.

Is that current intent to vote? What does it mean? Or is this just among Times readers? Because that's the only way I can see over half of 2019 Lab voters still wanting to vote for the party.

bessantj posted:I thought bisexuals fell under the queer category as well? Mind you I could be using an outdated meaning of the word.  so it doesn't embed transphobia / sexuality bigotry but the thread is here:https://twitter.com/bindelj/status/1456964428637868036?t=_SJjzkgtqlsOheHHhue5jg&s=19 The irony is absolutely stunning in that she literally cites "being told we are unsafe around other people's kids" in the 2nd last tweet, completely unaware that all of the things she's listing currently and increasingly happen to trans people because of the kind of vile bigotry her little in-crowd throw around. It's stunningly contradictory and her only comeback is to preemtively yell in the last tweet about how it doesn't happen to 'them', followed by a ton of othering and screaming at things in her head. It's absolutely derranged.

Pantsmaster Bill posted:The charges are higher than a standard meter. Most of the places you can top don’t take card, or charge anywhere up to £1 extra for a card payment. And they’re always in areas with bad access to cash points so if there is a cash point available it’ll be one that charges a quid to withdraw. And this is all for people who are struggling with debt or don’t have good credit for a regular meter. One thing I wonder about is if you're on welfare support, you can get your local council to help with bills. How does that work with key meters? Do you need to keep receipts and claim it back? Can you get help with that or is it yet another technicality that absolutely fucks the poor?

Rather than some baroque conspiracy, it seems much more likely that a few people from MdR were tasked with running into him at a pub, going 'hey we're lawyers too,' buying him a few drinks, stifling the looks of concern about how many he's getting through, and then just convincing him he should settle. Which does make him the perfect centrist candidate, since he strikes me as being entirely gullible and will believe whatever his new friends are telling him. Like the old footage of him at university where he was appearing at pro-palestine gigs and saying things that seemed good. I suspect he was only saying those things because that's what everyone around him was saying. Now he's surrounded by melts and wreckers, and they're the ones being nice to him, so he's doing that. And because he has no actual ideology apart from "I want to be in charge and it's my turn," he has no answer or rebuttal when Luke Nukem turns up with a foundationally dumb idea dressed in the rhetoric of sounding intelligent. He is essentially a man who's entire political ideology is "oh OK, that sounds good." Again, if there's any MI5 inflection on his politics it's far more likely that they just got a few undercover spooks to set up a dinner party, invite him to it, and then talk his ear off about how bad the dreaded left are. Keir Starmer is basically Baldrick in that episode of Blackadder where they try to buy a rotten borough, but as soon as he gets to the commons the whigs take him to one side and tell him how to vote instead.

Tarnop posted:I'm subscribed to Novara on YouTube, but all their video titles are basically "ANOTHER thing to get MAD about" and I just end up rolling my eyes and scrolling past. My anxiety levels are much more under control since I started doing this in general. Having been reflecting on this for a while, half the problem is that so much of this is public facing. Like on my podcast subscriptions, nobody's going to notice that I follow praxiscast or transhfuture, but on twitter I feel like one chud could look at my likes and follows, see names like Sinan or Ash Sarkar and instantly put together an argument for why I should be harassed, or why my followers should be harrassed for following me. Sometimes I think the entire internet would be vastly improved if some kind of very focused emp took out every comment section.

WhatEvil posted:But because I was doing it on my tablet rather than my PC, no ad-block, and before the piano started, I got some ad jingle (and reflexively said "gently caress OFFFFFFFF!"), which is the absolute lowest point of human creative endeavour (the jingle, that is, not me telling it where to go). Worse is when watching a guide for how to do something in a game - it makes it really difficult when trying to follow the flow of something complicated and it keeps popping out to sell you some poo poo for 15 seconds. If you pause (i.e. to try the thing you just watched in-game), it then adds another ad break after a few seconds. Worst of all, new channels can't turn these interstitial ads off, and partners can only turn them off by disabling monetisation entirely. I know they're doing it to make the platform just annoying enough to push users into subscribing to Youtube Pro/red/whatever, but it's loving annoying. It's absolutely just greed. They were making enough with the embedded ads but wanted more, so they added the opening ads. Then sometimes there were two ads. Then sometimes they were unskippable. Then they added the inserted ads. DickEmery posted:If it is white blokes then it'll be 4 "lone wolves" and forgotten by next week.

Under suitable assumptions, that could be any of justified and good terrorism, an understandable tactical or strategic mistake, or just plain fuckwittery. None of which would stop it being terrorism. This is why I would tend to side with Borrovan, as a poster with a legal background who is patiently trying to explain the best and clearest definitions that exist.

They'd just have to call it the 'Boris Bonanza' and claim we strongarmed the EU into giving us this sweet deal. Concepts like truth and reality became meaningless a long time ago. As long as we give people an excuse to keep up the kayfabe of stong britane grate nation, most brexiteers won't bother with the fire print. Bung a lifetime £500k/pa salary in there for Farage to shut him up and we're gold.
