As a general thing I've come to realise that if I'm putting all my strength into a given DIY job, I'm doing that job the wrong way. Sometimes disastrously so.

Post pics!!

I think it's about time that the USA should get around to accepting that the reason Trump is in the White House, fucking up the world, is because the Democrats have been spineless, useless, dicks for so long. Perhaps it might be a good idea for them to stop being like that? Just a thought! :)

Ah, fun times. I kept swinging at a sticking-out brick with a pickaxe, which was moving, but not falling off. Very confusing. But after some five swings I realised that the reason it wasn't falling off was because it was taking about two thirds of the wall with it every time I hit it. Spiffing!

Oh yes ... that, but also knowledge and skills. Get something like that wrong and you can literally bring down the side of a house. (As, indeed, I nearly did, once!)

Best instruction I ever saw: "1) Cut a hole in the wall 90 cm by 60 cm. 2) [Etc]....".

... And that's how they get people to buy ten light switches instead of just one.

Brill!!!

Every week, Israel achieves a new level of despicable.

Agreeable!

😆

You do not grasp the awesome and majestic power of stupidity.

Was Jürgen in that film 'Smile'? He sure has perfected a truly alarming one there. :)

They won't answer that. Instead, they'll ask a million questions, in outraged tones, about Gary Lineker and his 'antisemitism'. And it'll be a long, long time before people realise that the whole point of all those added questions was to deflect from the original and crucial question.

I genuinely don't think it's good to allow Israelis into my country, the UK, any more. What our government thinks, and still tries to compel us to think too, is immaterial. Israelis (barring a few percent of objectors, it seems) are just disgusting people. That's that.

... Right off.

Israel deliberately helped put Hamas in power, to thwart the PLO. You're either stupid, or lying, or both.

Say what you like about Trump, but you have to admit he's completely unhampered by any sense of taste whatsoever.

Analysis of the English local elections by Sir John Curtice: “support for Reform averaged 43% in wards where more than half of adults have few, if any, educational qualifications. In contrast, it polled just 19% where more than two in five have a degree.”

He got angry because he didn't understand the term, is my hunch.

I strongly suspect he doesn't know what Photoshop is, or does. He doesn't know that images can be manipulated. He doesn't know, because he's a moron.

I prefer non-biological women, tbh. They clean just as well, and don't give me rashes.

I don't know why that made me laugh so much.

Likewise: I respect the statistical fact that trans people aren't the menace the TERFs claim them to be, over the bigotry that produces their paranoid terrors.

If she's puked, isn't that it, over with? It usually is for me.

By far the greatest oppression they get comes as a result of their paranoid bigotry.

My love and respect to trans women always. I can’t imagine what this will do to the constant culture war. I will stand with and support you in fixing and facing down the rights gap this opens up and the ways you could now face even more discrimination as women in daily life.💚🏳️‍⚧️

The wildly stupid West.

No doubt a Reform voter will be here toot sweet to tell us how this is evidence of Starmer's 'communism'.
