Posting videos of Jim Davidson saying it like it is about poppy day.

Fuck off Jim, you crusty old paedo.

>>67301
Please spare us this shit.

>>67299

what scares me about Jim Davidson is that he looks like a perfect hybrid of my dad and my mum, like they've been put in the teleporter from The Fly together.

The terrifying part is that this means he probably represents exactly what I'll look like at that age.

Rich people don't get nicked, you soft sod.

>>67341
He knows too much about the paedo ring so he'll be put in a cell and suicided.

>>67342
No, nothing will happen. He will appear on weird right-wing telly, if they can afford it, and otherwise go back to his old life. Assuming of course he doesn't end up as dictator-for-life.

Yawn. Nobody cares about this sad act internet archaeology.

Why did you post this here? The man has no relevance to us, I don't think we've ever discussed him.

It's not even the juciest youtube drama this year, the Rooster Teeth stuff was far more interesting.

>>67316

I have noticed that carpet-baggers and sex pests usually have hair, even if they are balding they tend to cling on to what they have left. There are obviously some notable exceptions, like Gary Glitter or that squeaky little feller on the youtube memes, but by and large, a man who can be arsed to shave his bonce is not a carpet-bagger.

>>67318
I think we probably have. I'm interested in him, but not this piss poor character assassination.

Didn't he get kidnapped in Chechnya for insulting Chechen women?

I keep seeing people say this was staged because nobody actually finishes their last day of work holding a big full of shit from their desk, and plus number 10 has a back entrance for discreet comings and goings. And Cummings going, as well, I dare say.

I don't know why anyone would put on this but of theatre. What's the point?

>>91533
My theory is that it is vanity - Cummings likes being the centre of attention.

>Cumming's the name, going's the game

What I'd like to know is what does he have in such a large box.

HP calculator to the rescue again.

>>4851
Huh, mine too. If you write the multiplication symbol explicitly it'll say 9. Clearly scientific calculators have additional grouping rules on top of BODMAS that most computer tools don't. I think programmer types will definitely parse it as 9 but if you've primarily used hardware calculators then sure, I guess.

>>4852 One of the (many) joys of Occam as a programming language was that there was no operator precedence. You put it all in brackets, or else you get the hose again.
Why should people have to remember arbitrary rules when you can just state things clearly? operator precedence is a fucking minefield. Witness this shitty thread.

>>4851
Sharp calculator is superior.

>>4854
I won't disagree with you. HP stopped making really great calculators about twenty years ago when they moved all the manufacturing to China. On the plus side, they are much cheaper now.

I have an ageing HP20S which is really good, it works fine, but the power button is gone so I have to hold a load of buttons down to get it alive and have to wait for it to time-out to switch off, so it eats batteries more than it did originally. Sad times.

>>28833

The police are quite happy to infiltrate the far-right in their free time.

I assume the argument is that violent groups are usually grown out of non violent groups (like the way alf is the militant wing of peta to anyone in the know even though officially they aren't they just happen to spring spontaneity) so they need to infiltrate the non violent groups to be in a position to join the violent groups when they start which means being a known violent to begin with.

It is all ends justify the means crap, but I see the slip.

If you get a kick out of the possibility of absolutely life ending mistakes that could happen at any time within split seconds, and so much so that you become addicted to the experience, then I am sorry but you're just a bit too fucked in the head to be allowed to be out in the world where you are obviously a danger to yourself, and possibly others.

Toni Collette is an underrated actress. She plays a depressed single mother in this film, only good acting in the film really.

>>23367
I actually thought this was quite over rated. Likely because it was recommended a few times so I hyped it up a bit in my head. A lot of the visuals and special effects looked like I was on an lsd trip. I have a feeling some of the production dropped a few tabs while making this.

>>23366
>female-centric film without excluding men for the sake of it

Yeah It's pretty noticeable when this happens.

Characteristics like sex, race or nationality are hard to change in long standing media characters especially, people get quite attached to the way characters look. I read something about a female black 007 in the next James Bond. James is distinctly a native English bloke, meaning white Anglican looking, and a bloke. I doubt the viewing figures will be high on that film if they make sweeping changes so frivolously.

>>23377

On February 12, 1983 the ship Marine Electric was carrying a load of coal from Norfolk, Virginia to a power station in Somerset, Massachusetts. The worst storm in forty years blew up that night and the ship sank at about four o'clock in the morning on February 13. The ship's chief mate, 59-year-old Robert M. "Bob" Cusick, was trapped under the deckhouse as the ship went down. His snorkeling experience helped him avoid panic and swim to the surface, but he had to spend the night alone, up to his neck in water, clinging to a partially deflated lifeboat, and in water barely above freezing and air much colder. Huge waves washed over him, and each time he was not sure that he would ever reach the surface again to breathe. Battling hypothermia, he was tempted to allow himself to fall unconscious and let go of the lifeboat. Just then he remembered the concluding stanzas of "The Mary Ellen Carter".

He started to sing it and soon was alternately shouting out "Rise again, rise again" and holding his breath as the waves washed over him. At seven o'clock that morning a Coast Guard helicopter spotted him and pulled him to safety. Only three men of the thirty-three who had been aboard survived the wreck. After his ordeal, Cusick wrote a letter to Stan Rogers telling him what had happened and how the song helped save his life. In response, Cusick was invited to attend what turned out to be the second-to-last concert Rogers ever performed. Cusick told his story in the documentary about Rogers, One Warm Line.

>Anyway, I don't think it is a problem of wealth. Growing up, my household was dirt poor, council-housed, and I used to get free school meals. My mother would make sure I had one hot meal a day at the very least, so I am not sure why these lot who decided to have kids can't do the same. They can't even potty train their kids. It is just ridiculous.

I think, for want of a better word, it's a question of pride. People of previous generations would be mortified and felt that shame was being brought upon their household if certain standards were upheld whereas there's an increasing number of people who are shameless and idle.

>>91392

Are you suggesting that being judgemental and feeling shame might be beneficial for society. And feeling pride should be about bettering yourself rather than being always comfortable with yourself. That doesn't sound very woke.

>>91393
People are just as judgemental as they were before, if not even worse. It's just that we're learning to tune it out. Shame was always a shitty way of getting people to do things.

If it means people stop doing the school run in their pyjamas then yes.

My mum has a proper go at me when I don't hold cutlery properly, but I don't understand what I'm doing wrong. I'm a left-handed abomination so I hold things like Quasimodo anyway, it's a form of discrimination I think.

Maybe the mods don't like how you're behaving?

Who said anything about upsetting people? You were asked nicely not to post shitty Facebook memes, you posted more, were given a short ban for it, evaded it and went on to post more. What do you expect? We're not going to play silly bugger whack-a-mole with you all day. Clearly you felt the need to evade to post in that thread, so that thread has been removed.

>>15573

Understood. I guess I'll host my blog elsewhere then.

I did some good posts in that thread, too.

>>15573

So now we all have to suffer? That is very un-American of you.

>>90868

Couldn't agree more.

Trouble is the middle class tend to see their self-interest as aligning with capital, not the proletariat. This country's ingrained snobbery always cancels out any logical assessment of one's position in society, and therefore vulnerability to economic impact. Our preconceptions of class obscure the fact that earning £35k a year as a junior manager in the office puts you roughly on the same wage level as an experienced mechanic, which is undoubtedly a povvo job for people who only did BTECs. The difference is the mechanic likely has far greater job security.

Essentially this is the main con-trick the Conservatives have exploited to secure their position in office for the last ten years. You're one of us, not one of them.

Inheritance, not work, has become the main route to middle-class home ownership

>>91363
Pay no attention to the shitstorm around the corner.

>>91363
Does this assume that grandparents give directly to their grandchildren, or their parents pass the money through without skimming too much?
Setting your life up on the assumption of a future inheritance is weird. Waiting until your parents die to pay off your mortgage runs a hell of a risk of them dying broke or living for ages, and you holding a mortgage you can't pay or renew, just when you were hoping to relax a bit.
I wouldn't turn down an inheritance, but people bleating about inheritance tax can fuck off. Tax it like income.

>>91385

I think inheritance tax is just a stupidity tax, as it's so fucking easy to get around. If your parents/grandparents have the sort of assets to make it an issue, they almost certainly have an accountant or money manager who has sorted it out for them anyway.

>Jeremy Clarkson Rejects Offer To Return To BBC After Asked By Director-General To “Come Home”

>“He was saying the other day, ‘Oh, come home’. But the truth is, you’d struggle on the BBC now. It’s so unbelievably right on. You just couldn’t say anything which I make my living from saying.” In the same interview, he accused the BBC of being very limited in their show production, and having a closed mind for new ideas. He also slated the BBC by stating that they’d freeze out presenters that aren’t politically correct.
>“I think it is becoming very, very restrictive, which is a shame, because it [the BBC] is a good idea,” he said.

Looks like he won in the end.

>>23359
>Looks like he won in the end.

I think he won ages ago when Amazon gave them £100m.

>>23359
Am I a cynic if I think he's just saying that because it's on-brand to bash the BBC for being PC, rather than because he's genuinely fearful his 'outrageous' popular-'unpopular'-opinion-but's might be censored by a snide intern with pink hair and a grudge against the jigaboo-gollywog minstrel jazz hour?

>>23361

Like everything Clarkson, it's a bit of both. His public persona is just an extreme version of his private one, as far as I can tell. He's probably not the biggest fan of the BBC, but it fits his show persona and his newspaper opinion piece writing to call them communist totalitarians.

>>23359
We only have his word for it this happened, and it was probably just some idle words of regret from his best mate over a pint, rather than a formal apology from the legal and disciplinary team and fullthroated cheer from the battered production crew. I don't think the BBC want him back.

And it just so happens that Cadbury already tried to get rid of Fudge a couple years back. Fucking bullshit, it's been a death spiral ever since the Americans bought it.

It's since the Kraft takeover that all these additional party flavours came out. 'Fruit and chopped nuts' are just the last grains from the bottom of the barrel, as are the crossover varieties which ingredients failed to pass quality control for the main products.

Frankly, I think it offends God and the Earth itself to bridge the gap between wanking and gaming. Alt-tab exists for reason.

There was a Playstation called Eagle One : Harrier Jet or something like that, and I discovered that if you pulled back on the stick in flight to perform a loop, your controller would vibrate as heavily as it was capable of doing - do I'd hold the controller at the base of my knob and do and endless loop until completion. I must have been pretty young, though I remember the game well because of that. I reckon I'd get an associative erection if I saw gameplay footage now.

>>41728
On a similar note, I remember a lad giving that vibrating controller that came with Rez (or perhaps it was a default Dualshock) to his missus. They wrote an extensive blog about using the game's rhythm-based shooting and subsequent VIBEZ for stimulation.

Congratulations, you've invented Remote Desktop.

>>27665
That's not true, the only guides for desktop streaming on Steam are for doing the exact same thing I talked about doing in my post. Feel free to show me where the desktop streaming option is on Steam, maybe I'm just being blind, but I can't see it in Steam's settings, broadcasting, profile.

>>27666
This is exactly what I asked for in my OP so, err, thanks, I don't understand why you're trying to sound smug though. Plus, that's a Microsoft application and is therefore likely radiating a serious amount of black magic and I'm already running Windows 10 AND 8.1 on the laptop so I really don't need any more of that. I had to have my motherboard consecrated just stop the PC from attacking me in my sleep.

>>27667
Well, I use the app on my Samsung TV. The app itself has a 'desktop' button but I find that doesn't work very well so I rarely use it.

I start up the app and connect to Steam - it starts in Big Picture mode. I minimise Big Picture mode and boom, there's the desktop, with full mouse and keyboard control.

How does your experience differ?

>>27668
I tried the Big Picture Mode method but whenever I try to stream it from the PC I just get a pop-up telling me "Laptop is no longer available for streaming" and then it immediately reconnects. I have no idea why. I'm doing the exact same thing with my method anyway, I can use literally any application on my PC, it's really a moot point.

>>27667
>This is exactly what I asked for in my OP so, err, thanks
Yes, that's why we suggested both it and VNC. I have no idea why you ended up dicking around with Steam after that.
