I imagine more than a little of my frustration is rooted in me not agreeing. But, I think I would have still been frustrated if the SC had decided the other way, just less so. I think regardless I would have wanted:

I guess they could have refused permission to appeal earlier[.]

But, more than that, these nonces have been noncing for actual decades. How the fuck is “whether oat milk can be called milk” a question we’re thinking about for a second time?! “The purpose of a system is what it does” is being thrown around a lot recently, I’m not sure organically. But fuck me if the purpose of our system isn’t to protect monied interest and bind the rest of us.

I’m not sure why “in fairness” applys here? I don’t disagree it is a supreme court ruling after dairy UK objected to a trademark. I don’t disagree it’s been going on for a while.

What I’m disagreeing with is the supreme court not going “fuck off, you petty time wasting freaks”.

I don’t think the people in charge of this are the same people investigating blackmail by foreign powers.

The supreme court?

Audiobooks, audiobooks, audiobooks.

I work with my hands though, so having an audiobook on while I spuddle away isn’t much of an issue.

I’ll pause it when someone wants to talk to me. I use music when I have to think. But on slow days, audiobooks all day long.

This, this is what my country thinks is valuable to be doing right now? Not all the nonces that may or may not be being blackmailed by hostile powers? But that oat milk is called milk?

Instance block chatgptjailbreak.tech. Another set of problems solved.

Sometimes, when I need space and people are talking to me, I push them away by making them uncomfortable. Sex and death are two fallback topics that make people not want to be around me anymore. I don’t even realise I’m doing it till after the fact because I disguise it (to myself at least) as humour.

But, it has a lasting impact I recover, I yearn to be around people again, but I’m weird so why would they want to be around me? I don’t blame them, it’s my mechanism that did this, I just don’t know how to recognise it to interrupt it with something healthy.

Except when someone follows me down the rabbit hole, and makes filthy/dark jokes back, I’m comfortable again. Then we feed each other and no-one wants to be around either of us.

I don’t do anything with it, pure set and forget. I probably should, I don’t use XXX at all. NSFW is under a different stack, different gluetun, and different network namespace. As for size, I don’t know but I found this in the FAQ:

What are the system requirements for bitmagnet?

As a rough guide, you should allow around 300MB RAM for BitMagnet, and at least 1GB RAM for the Postgres database. You should allow roughly 80GB of disk space per 10 million torrents, which should suffice for several months of crawling, however there is no upper limit to how many torrents might ultimately be crawled. The database will run fastest when it has plenty of RAM and a fast disk, preferably a SSD.

Never mind. I can see a salary interpretation in this. Perhaps that’s what you were aiming for and I was wrong. If so I apologise and agree, his giving up a salary isn’t a spinless act. Bit of a nothingness in the face of his support of genocide though. But, I think the parent comment was making a double entendre of salary and bribe. Starmer is so spineless you don’t have to pay (salary/bribe) him.

I’ll leave having asserted Kier is spinless. Having shown some reasons for why I think he is spineless. And having justified why I think him being spineless is bad.

I was just ignoring your attempt to goalpost shift.

Parent comment:

The country with a leader who accepts any and all bribes + the country with a leader so spineless that you don’t even need to pay him? Who’da thought?

No mention of salary.

Your reply:

Sorry but what do you mean by this? I’m struggling to see how this is bad. Would you rather a leader took all the money they could get their hands on? Because that’s how you end up with Trump.

No mention of salary.

My reply:

You’re struggling to see how Starmer’s support of genocide is bad? You’re struggling to see how Starmer’s capitulation to the right is bad? You’re struggling to see how Starmer’s ‘island of strangers’ speech is bad? You’re struggling to see how Starmer’s refusal to stand up for trans rights is bad? You’re struggling to see how Starmer’s appointing of Mandleson is bad? You’re struggling to see how the UK sinking to new lows in the global corruption index is bad? You’re struggling to see… Should’ve gone to Specsavers.

But to answer your false dichotomy. We dont need to chose between a spineless government or a government that “took all the money they could get their hands on”. We can choose a government that is neither spineless or corrupt.

No mention of salary. Your reply

I didn’t say any of that. I’m simply asking why not having to pay someone is a negative? Or makes them spineless?

No mention of salary, a bribe [see parent comment] is payment and corruption.

Because we have both a spineless (see examples in my comment) and corrupt (see headline) government.

You didn’t say those things, but they are the setting for which your comment was made. Kier is spineless, you’re struggling to see why that’s bad.

No mention of salary, eventually you shift the goal posts.

If you don’t want me repeating comments could you please read them? The original goalpost was having a corrupt leader over a simply spinless one, a false dichotomy. Now moving goal posts, be better.

Why does not accepting a salary to be a political leader make someone spineless?

Cause and effect are reversed here. Spineless people do things regardless of payment.

Silly example, I see you’re a spineless person in the playground. I walk up to you and demand your lunch. You, being spineless, give it to me, no payment necessary. Not taking payment isn’t, in and of itself, a noble act.

Apply that to a position of leadership, apply that to politics. Apply that to his policies I listed. Do you now understand why I believe him being spineless to be a bad thing?

For example there’s a big bully in the playground called Trump, Trump took something from Venezuela, what was Starmer’s response? It was spineless is what it was.

I understand what you’re saying but I think you’re misinterpreting what I am asking.

I don’t think I am.

I am purely interested in why you think not having to pay a leader [because they are spineless] is a bad thing rather than a good thing

Why do I think a spineless leader is a bad thing rather than a good thing? You’re struggling to see how having a spineless leader is a bad thing just as I asserted.

Which brings us back to my first comment and all the products of this government:

You’re struggling to see how Starmer’s support of genocide is bad? You’re struggling to see how Starmer’s capitulation to the right is bad? You’re struggling to see how Starmer’s ‘island of strangers’ speech is bad? You’re struggling to see how Starmer’s refusal to stand up for trans rights is bad? You’re struggling to see how Starmer’s appointing of Mandleson is bad? You’re struggling to see how the UK sinking to new lows in the global corruption index is bad? You’re struggling to see… Should’ve gone to Specsavers.

To be clear, their increasing of corruption is bad too. Which brings me, again, to my first comment:

But to answer your false dichotomy. We dont need to chose between a spineless government or a government that “took all the money they could get their hands on”. We can choose a government that is neither spineless or corrupt.

BitMagnet installation

Servarr integration

I’ll add that I have BitMagnet, and Prowlarr under a Gluetun container.

Because we have both a spineless (see examples in my comment) and corrupt (see headline) government.

You didn’t say those things, but they are the setting for which your comment was made. Kier is spineless, you’re struggling to see why that’s bad.

I run one because why not. I’ve set it as No1 priority in Prowlarr, with the same requirements as any other indexer. BitMagnet is currently second for successful grab count.

I just set and forget it, reccomended compose. Bind mount the DB to a NVME and let it do its thing. It’s at ~20m entries currently and isn’t climbing much from there. Although it’s No1 priority I consider it a back up so I don’t give it too much attention if I’m honest.

You’re struggling to see how Starmer’s support of genocide is bad? You’re struggling to see how Starmer’s capitulation to the right is bad? You’re struggling to see how Starmer’s ‘island of strangers’ speech is bad? You’re struggling to see how Starmer’s refusal to stand up for trans rights is bad?

He was hoist with his own petard. Not so much victim blaming, as “I didn’t think those leopards [racists] would eat my [non-white] face.”

It is funny the people who would agree he is British, he is, are people who also think he’s a wanker

We should eliminate immigration because the country is full. Also, we should be having more babies because the country is not full enough. - Pants on head party
