The bitter irony is that people using 'clownworld', like those who counter-protested this march, are rabidly antisemitic.

The just happen to be Islamophobic as well.

So how many counter protestors have been arrested compared to the... none, was it? For those supporting Palestine and against Israel?

Will Braverman apologise, resign or be fired for whipping these idiots into a frenzy? Of course not.

But remember, it's those who didn't go to the cenotaph who are the bad guys, not the ones committing violence around it!

At this point, I'm starting to think there is merit in the accusations that Braverman is trying to get fired.

That was a demonstration of 300,000 people, and the worst thing you can find is a very minor scuffle over a sign, with protesters stepping in to calm it down. How sad for you.

Where is Clownworld's footage of EDL bastards attacking the police and making antisemitic chants?

Is what ok?

Looks like the demonstration was policing itself and dealing with anyone who got out of hand.

Meanwhile, extreme right wing counter-protestors were being arrested for assaulting the police.

That extraordinary case of the woman who lied on a lockdown zoom call (and was subsequently released), and a year old story about what people think Rishi Sunak thinks.

It's hardly a live issue. Almost never in the news. There is no serious effort to change the status quo, and it's not something that gets much discussion in mainstream political debate.

Smallville posted...

yeah it is uk though, not u.s. Abortion is never discussed in politics in uk?

Very, very rarely in mainstream politics.

It's a sleeping dog that almost everyone is happy to let lie.

Smallville posted...

what discussion?

About abortion.

Everyone I know keeps their views pretty much to themselves and is content to leave things as they are (this is in the UK).

I don't know anyone who wants to have that discussion.

I have a in the ear wired pair. I've had them at least 10 years. Mind you recently they have been boxed up since my move in 2020, then couldn't use them because of the bells palsy (loud thumping in ear). So about 7 years daily use. I switch between Sony and those.

My Sony pair bit it though. Pads wore out. I might buy another pair but I'll wait for a sale somewhere

You should be able to replace the pads yourself.

It's not weird to say 'no, thank you'.

Wow, Skullcandy is nostalgic. It used to be my go to for wired earbuds back in the day.

When it's the early 2000s, and all your music is 128kbps mp3s you got using Limewire . . .

GranTurismo posted...

what, i have had really good experience with those old skullcandy wired earbuds. Do they even make them anymore, they probably started making them like 20 yrs ago. Some of the best wired earbuds i can remember using

They were very mediocre to say the least. But if you're not fussy, or using a low quality source, it doesn't really matter.

I said this before, but think of audio like you would fps and resolution in a videogame. Some people (including me) are fine playing 30fps in 720p. Some people (not including me) are fine listening to 256kbps streams through cheap earbuds.

But for others, that simply isn't good enough and it affects their enjoyment.

Of all the heartbreaking stories, this one really got to me.

I'm beginning to wonder if Peterson is being held captive by little Ben Shapiro and the Daily Wire shitbags, and this is some sort of cry for help.

Watching it again, I wonder if it's staged.

White guy fell twice with hardly any force, and for some reason he's wearing gloves with the tag still hanging on

I can't imagine how much of a pathetic wanker you would have to be to walk around with MMA gloves on just on the off chance you might get into a fight.

Nothing so far.

I watched Pokmon ang YGO as a kid, and I've seen some Studio Ghibli films, but that's all.

I feel like there cant be that many incels in the world. But from the amount of posts about them on here, it makes you think that there are more of them than there actually is.

There's certainly an incel paradox.

Straight cis women appear to have access to limitless opportunities for everything from casual hookups to long term relationships and families.

Straight cis men, however, need to be tall, wealthy, handsome, socially skilled, and well-endowed to stand the slightest chance of coming within a restraining order's distance of a woman.

So, just who are these women getting together with?

Well I wouldnt call that a philosophy tho, thats just a belief I guess. Do we call a philosophy people who believe in aliens? Which is not real

Yes, it's a philosophy. It's an outlook on life guided by certain principles.

Florida has a lot going on, but its Governor still finds the time to get some specially made boots because he has a complex about his height.

Jx1010 posted...

Can u explain?
There is an incel philosophy?
He said he wants to have sex but cant, wouldnt that make him one?

We've gone through this multiple times already.

The word 'incel' was coined by a female college student as a self-deprecating comment on her lack of a romantic life at that time.

It then came to mean those who were celibate without choosing to be so.

It has now evolved to refer to those with a misogynist mindset. Who, among other things, blame 'modern women' and 'feminism' for their lack of success. It's now an ideology of sorts.

God was a lot younger then, and he was going through some shit.

which ones are great headphones for sound? beats, sony?

Funny how you don't see people wearing Beats nowadays. They used to be everywhere. Beats are OK, but you can do better for less money.

If you want wireless, it's hard to do better than Sony WH-1000XM4.

AKG and Sennheiser both make very good quality headphones for reasonable prices. That's where I would start looking.

If you're not fussy about sound quality, they are adequate. If you are, then steer clear.

Looks like manufacturing costs are around a third of the price.

Plenty of other costs involved: R&D, distribution, marketing, packaging, etc. But the margins are still good.

Almost certainly West Country. Possibly rural East Anglian (Norfolk/Suffolk).

Nope. BloodMoon7 does not embrace the incel philosophy. He's not an incel.

As celebrities go, they are pretty shit ones.

Doesn't mean you hand over the class-room to Smart Devices and let those devices run the class room.

There's a limit to what you need inside the classroom.

I agree.

There needs to be something between a total ban on tech, and students failing to learn because they are using smart devices inappropriately.

Kamen_Rider_Blade posted...

Countless students managed to survive and thrive just fine w/o it.

Irrelevant. And not applicable to today's world.

Students need to be prepared for life after school. Not subjected to this 'back in my day' nonsense. What next? Corporal punishment and after school jobs involving heavy machinery? Hey, most kids survived those too.

Not to mention you would be fighting a battle that has already been lost. Humankind needs to learn how to cope with technology, not pretend it doesn't exist.

Schools without tech would be a very poor preparation for post-school life.

B Goode.

The Exorcist.

It's pretty much a perfect film. Certainly the most perfect horror film.

Being easy and pleasant to work with can be an important part of what makes a 'good worker', and there's nothing wrong with that being rewarded.

If it's that easy, I'm surprised more people don't try it.

Like you say, TC, it doesn't matter, does it?

She is almost certainly better than those bands you like.

I'm not reclaiming anything. "Involuntarily celibate" has a single meaning. The people who "changed" it are people who didn't know what it meant anyway.

Words do not have fixed meanings. They have acknowledged usage. Which may change over time.

Dark_Arbron posted...

Are you referring to incel? I was specifically talking about alt-right, which to my knowledge was coined by the very group it describes.

Yes. Apologies for my misunderstanding.

Dark_Arbron posted...

They at least have enough self-awareness to recognize when a label becomes bad PR. Hence why the alt-right tried to distance themselves from that term - despite coining it to begin with.

The term was coined by a woman as a kind of self-deprecating comment/joke on her romantic life at college.

Jx1010 posted...

So it doesnt apply to broke men, psychologically scarred men, bald men, short men?

Not unless they embrace the misogyny. Incel is a mindset, an attitude, a wallowing in self-pity while externalizing blame.

Ever seen a bald man, a psychologically scarred man, or a short man with a wife/girlfriend? Of course you have. The last time you left the house, probably.

The biggest barrier to writing is procrastination.

One of the forms this takes is overthinking every detail and part of the process.

Get down to putting stuff on paper and then do the editing afterwards.

If they're just doing it to be a bastard to someone, then no.

If they care about a person's health, then they'll know that 'shaming' is unlikely to be productive. Wrecking people's self-esteem rarely is.

A misogynist who blames 'modern feminism' for the fact that they aren't fighting off supermodels with the shitty end of the stick.

I wouldn't use the term for someone who was just socially awkward and unsuccessful in dating. If they didn't have the shitty attitude and warped outlook on life.

I don't have a problem with Brie Larson, hell Captain Marvel was absolutely fine as a movie, it was a 7/10.

However, the point is -- mainstream fans have a form of a Midas touch, except instead of gold anything they touch they turn to shit, eventually.
They bitch, and moan and get something changed and then there's literally nothing left of what it originally was, and everyone's holding their own ass saying "What happened? Why wasn't this shit successful?" Because Bob, you ruined it by tying it to appeal to the mainstream generic demographics, instead of the fans. Which is why the shit was successful in the first place, by being "PC", and "Correct" and "Wider Audience Appeal" you have lost the core of what you're actually producing. You have drained my hobby/interest/etc... into a dried husk and there's nothing left to appeal to anybody.
They especially ruined retro gaming, by making everything cost so much, when it was cheap before.
Fuck them all.

Without an appeal to mainstream moviegoers, there would not even be an MCU.

You think the hardcore fanbase merits $100m+ budgets and a regular release schedule?

Her new song is great.
