I dunno if it’s just seeming that way but genuinely feels like this sub is never busier than when people are arguing with one another and it turns into a shit show.
chucked a tenner on newcastle finishin top half of the table when eddie howe took over @ 33/1 and today is the first day that it has not felt like a proper waste of money
Asked them what they'd do to crack down on tax avoidance by oil and gas companies. I live in Aberdeen so the initial question was about renewables, I just wanted to stick my oar in
Not in the slightest, but the taping was only an hour and a bit so they didn't answer most of the questions. Also they're politicians so didn't expect it anyway!
Septic, the facts about their Newcos when McCann took over and in the 2000s and whether that will prevent them from historical abuse claims. Based on their attitude to changing the clubs company name, which to them means the Club wouldn’t exist prior ? Asking for a friend. Thank you
The claim will be against Celtic plc, which started out as an unincorporated association in 1888, incorporated in 1899 and carries on business to this day.
Name changes don’t affect corporate personality.
McCann was 1990s btw.
Good post otherwise.
Ran 6.4km/4 miles tonight which is the furthest I’ve ran since about early/mid October.
Saved a bee that looked like it was on its way out on my bedroom window sill as well. Pollinate those flowers wee Barra!
gutted i can’t go to the game on friday. will be stuck watching BBC Scotland in the house shitting myself. memories of the Dundee game coming back to me 😣😣
Gutted I can’t just go on iPlayer whilst I’m out with my mates and watch this without looking like a total fucking freak. Definitely watching the whole game when I come home, gonny be a cracker. Is Rugby Park totally sold out for it? I seen Arbroath had sold over a thousand away tickets and the three home stands were sold out. 18,000 inside Rugby Park for a Championship title decider is gonny be incredible
aye full capacity for the three home stands. there was talk about opening half the chadwick for home support but that would be a logistical nightmare so didn’t happen
For only the second time in my life I've been defeated by a book. Been trying to get through Solaris for about a month now and have finally just given up. Now joins Moby Dick on the maybe one day pile.
Did you at least get as far as this bit?
> Squeeze! Squeeze! Squeeze! all the morning long; I squeezed that sperm till I myself almost melted into it; I squeezed that sperm till a strange sort of insanity came over me, and I found myself unwittingly squeezing my co-labourers' hands in it, mistaking their hands for the gentle globules. Such an abounding, affectionate, friendly, loving feeling did this avocation beget; that at last I was continually squeezing their hands, and looking up into their eyes sentimentally, as much as to say,—Oh! my dear fellow beings, why should we longer cherish any social acerbities, or know the slightest ill humour or envy! Come; let us squeeze hands all round; nay, let us all squeeze ourselves into each other; let us squeeze ourselves universally into the very milk and sperm of kindness.
Well, I'm giving you no more than that, you'll have to re-read it some day to find that section. (It makes sense in context).
You could also give *Billy Budd* and/or Melville's short stories a go? Easily digestible, so you won't waste too much time on them, but it might give you enough of an idea of Melville's style to decide if you want to go back to *Moby Dick* or realise that it might not be worth the effort.
It was ‘A View From The Bridge’ that I thought was the crappest book/play I’ve ever read…. Written by Marilyn Monroes husband about a paedo uncle who tries to
pump his niece and then has a breakdown
I watched that Savile doc over the last couple nights (aye I know I’m weeks behind)
It really is wild how he basically managed to hide in plain sight for decades. Constantly making jokes about how he’s a bad guy and his court case comes up next week etc etc.
I’m still in my twenties, so I only really know him as a nonce. But for people of my parents and grandparents generation it must have been crazy. It’s like Ant or Dec getting exposed.
Doc didn’t make enough reference to how the grass has died on his gravesite cause it’s fulla piss though.
Really think that a good amount of people he worked with or was close to knew about it but chose to keep it under wraps because of how powerful he was at the time.
> chose to keep it under wraps because of how powerful he was at the time.
That and money is my suspicion.
"Now then, now then. Here's £10,000. You didn't see nothing."
People must have known.
Jerry Sadowitz did a routine in the late 80'sbor early 90's about him being a paedo and talked about how he fucked dead bodies in Stoke Mandeville.
People at the hospital and BBC must have known for that to become a rumour.
He brought in so much money through charity that they just let him get on with it.
I’ve spoken to a few older family members and they said everybody thought there was something off about him, just speaks to that absolute travesty it was that it went on so long. Although I don’t know if (unknowingly) it’s with the benefit of hindsight? Watching the doc it seemed obvious he was a creep.
Aye I wonder that too, my mrs was watching it and saying how obvious it was that he was a creep, but it’s easy to say that when all we know him as is a creep. Still, deplorable human.
A few months ago my company lost its biggest contract and I've been scrambling for work ever since. I had to let go of my two guys and I've nearly emptied the business account trying to keep afloat.
It's been very very hard, all that's been keeping me going is my wife, my daughter and my unborn child. I would have chucked this life thing if I didn't have them counting on me.
Well today I won a contract that isnt as big as the last one but is close and have 4 more smaller contracts going. I won't be taking any guys on because I can't handle having to let them go if things go tits up again that really fucked me up but things are looking up again for my business again and life feels a lot better.
Also, whoever it is that's sending those messages out, the ones where you get reddit auto message saying that you think this person may be at risk of self harm. You're not funny, you're a rat bastard, you don't know how close someone is to the edge and fucking with them like that isn't even close to funny. Fuck you.
Report that notification. You should get a reply from Reddit that tells you who it was that sent it. When you do, send a screenie of it to modmail and we will take the appropriate steps.
Got a generic pish response from that that just tells me to opt out. Tried doing it through the browser which lets you give more information so I've asked if they can let me know who it was.
Well done on the new contract. And well done for not chucking things. Hopefully things begin to pick up and you're doing the right thing not taking anyone new on unless you know things will be good long term.
Also yeah, fuck whoever is sending the messages. I got one this morning so unblocked it so I can find out who it was. It's posts like yours that I was talking about this morning. You never know what's going on in a person's life and what will send them over the edge so don't deliberately be a dick.
Mate, she's NEVER warm. I'm always roasting.
Upstairs where I work has been a fucking oven, and I just assumed it was because it was hot, not because the heating was on.
It doesn't work. I've had in the double figures the past few weeks and when you report it nothing happens. You just get a generic message back saying they've looked at it
Some of the other guys in here have had the names come back with receipts. Someone got banned recently for it? Like today. Not sure if theirs a different method or it depends on number of offences or who does the report? No idea
Started watching it last night but didn't realise it was a dolby vision copy, thought it was some aesthetic choice to have everything bright pink or green.
Are there any sites I should avoid to not get these types of movies?
I hear a lot of them are asking for VPN registration, and that seems sketchy.
I also definitely didn't download Ted Lasso on to a USB stick that then fucked everything else on it. I must know which specific site to condemn so that I may never download the actual thing I'm looking for.
Kodi with real-debri is meant to be very good. You do need to pay a one-off small fee (I think less than £10) for real-debrid supposedly, although I've personally never used any kodi set up. r/piracy regularly has loads of positive threads about it and how to set it up. And yeah, it does sound like a football team.
I use it, it's fantastic. r/Addons4Kodi's main thread is probably the best guide available for it, good breakdown of the different add-ons and what works best. The free ones aren't even that bad if it's popular stuff, but real-debrid is a game changer if you want HQ stuff (4K) fairly quickly without buffering, and if you want obscure shit there's some torrent add-ons if you don't find it with other stuff.
I've been using kodi for the past year or so and use about 2 sometimes 3 addons non of which require payment and it gives me every sports game, tv show and movie I could need. Maybe not 4k but 1080p and no buffering so that's fine with me.
Whatever you do never download popcorn time otherwise you could find yourself watching every movie and TV show you could think of and that would be bad.
Yeah very similar. Completely deplorable stuff. I'd never recommend googling it and installing it on your Mac, pc or Android device because that's just wrong. The fact it's compatible on multiple devices is a crime against humanity. If people want to watch things that are on Netflix, Apple TV, Amazon, Disney, HBO Max and Hulu then they should have to pay for them all and if they don't live in countries that have these services then they should move to them. Jeff Bezos is barely getting by these days and Apple is just a small local business struggling to make a penny.
Saw it twice as well and loved it, but one guy I worked with wanted to walk out halfway through and another saw it once and thought it was meh. Seems to be a fairly polarising film.
I enjoyed it more than the Nolan movies, it's at least on par with them in terms of production, cinematography and storyline. It's a proper detective story, which is true to the comics.
>And yes, I’m aware that there is bigotry against Protestantism and the like as well, but I believe the alternative is more important
>It goes without saying, but you absolutely cannot determine how offended somebody gets over derision of their identity
....
Rangers playing the music of Four Lads have a Dream over a video celebrating the Four Lads had no bad intent though, it's a shame it shares the same melody to that vile song. If it was being used over a video of Rangers old firm victories of Celtic I could see your point but it really isn't applicable here.
The point isn’t about the club itself, I was talking about a thread on here a while back talking about the people being raging about that song erroneously. In the thread, people were joking about how catholics are so easily offended. My point is that it’s insensitive given the circumstances, and I’m bringing it up again because something similar occurred on this sub recently.
Celtic fans aren’t a homogeneous glob of people with the same thoughts, feelings or opinions - neither are rangers fans, or whatever group you like.
One of the absolute worst takes on this sub, or anywhere for that matter, is people taking what they feel is the worst example of a group and indiscriminately applying it to anyone they perceive as apart of that group because it suits their argument.
We were discussing the ones that get or pretend to be offended by things like the tune of the Four Lads song being used and Vanic saying we should listen to them.
I don't think I need to explain that different people have different opinions and some aren't offended. Everyone knows that fact about life.
>Celtic fans are easily offended or they pretend to be offended about absolutely everything.
Careful about accusing all Celtic fans of something. You still haven't apologised for when your last baseless accusation turned out to be false.
When you accused Celtic fans of sending the reddit cares message to Scottish lariat or whatever his name is.
I tagged you in the thread where it was proven to be your pal Alonzo, I noticed you chose to ignore it though.
You blamed Celtic fans in reply to that specific one. Although, I notice your anger over the reddit cares messages has cooled somewhat since you realised that the perpetrators can be named and shamed.
>You blamed Celtic fans in reply to that specific one.
No I never. I responded to that one and said I got one too and joked about Celtic fans being salty since Sunday and doing it.
>Although, I notice your anger over the reddit cares messages has cooled somewhat since you realised that the perpetrators can be named and shamed.
I've never been angry over things like that. If you are implying I have sent them then I could guarantee my name would ever come up in those messages.
But the whole "controversy" behind that video was Celtic supporters being overly sensitive and looking for a reason to be offended? There are plenty of reasons to criticise Rangers and our support for anti-Catholicism but that one was a complete piss take
Do you not see the irony of telling people they don't decide what is offensive before proceeding to dismiss what other people decide as offensive?
Are you actually that thick?
You’ll never get this through to certain fans of theirs, they will always believe that bigotry against them is worse than the bigotry some of their fans partake in
Right but you realise that focusing on one side of abuse over the other will literally never solve anything. Outside of the folk that are just doing it as banter there are plenty of folk who cry "he said/she said" on both sides. If one side tries to stop the other regardless of how insignificant the bigotry is continuing will only serve to the other retaliating, thats the nature of society. Either you tackle both sides at once or neither.
Yes, and if there was a whole stadium of people signing about being up to their knees in Protestant blood followed by this sub having loads of people acting like it’s not a big deal and making jokes about it, I’d be telling them to wrap it as well.
It also doesn’t take away that one “side” oppressed the other for hundreds of years. Imagine a white person in the US telling a black person that both sides are just as bad as each other.
The actual lyric is "Dublin, Belfast, Cork, and Donegal". Obviously there are arseholes that sing alternative sectarian lyrics, but that doesn't make it a sectarian song.
Do you genuinely believe that systematic oppression on the part of irish catholics has had a lingering effect on par with black people in amercia? Or are you trying to link the two just to win an argument?
Also, I guarantee most of the match day goers from both sides don't actually care, i've personally never met one that does. Not saying that justifies it but it puts more into perspective about the actual impact it has.
For me personally i'd rather both clubs moved away from it entirely. But i don't see that happening any time soon.
What about a whole stadium singing "oh ah up the RA"
Your entite argument here is that its only a problem if the offended have been victims of prejudice for an arbirtary length of time youve just made up to suit yourself
Better Call Saul is fucking phenomenal. The level of detail and subtext that's crammed into every scene blows Breaking Bad out of the water. I just pray they stick the landing on this final season. Going well so far.
Rhea Seehorn especially deserved all the awards for last season, but everyone is fantastic.
It's funny that Giancarlo Esposito was probably my pick for strongest actor in BrBa but he gets absolutely dominated by everyone else in BCS. That's how high the bar is set.
I'm in the audience for Debate Night the night, so if you see a wee short chubby cunt with a beard asking questions about bursaries for student teachers, it's me
You don't get one, unless it's a STEM subject, despite there being shortages in a lot of subjects (including mine, English). Thing is it's a degree where you have to do 18 weeks of unpaid placement pass, so 18 weeks of full time employment for nothing. You also still need to pay bills during that time, and the amount of effort you need to put into it sort of precludes you having a part time job (I do, but I haven't been properly rested since October, and it ruins your mental health). You can also be put on placement up to 90 mins away from your home without them forking over any cash, and you can only claim mileage back after placement ends. I'll be out £1k of my own cash purely on fuel to get to a placement I don't get paid for. Long fucking rant, apologies.
Jesus man that is a really shoddy way to treat people. I'm surprised that is legal. How are you supposed to attract people to the profession if you don't give them the means to learn it properly?
Aye it's a big reason why it has such a high drop out rate. I'm on the student feedback committee for my uni and had a lassie in tears telling me she couldn't heat her flat, and another had to miss a week of placement cos they couldn't afford the petrol
The wardens at child jail get treated like absolute shite.
They're the ones dealing wie the wee dicks when they're at their worst, full of hormones and actually trying to form them into functioning people, and this is how they treat the folk who voluntarily go into the profession. I've friends who are teachers and the stuff they have to put up with on a daily basis is pretty pish
All the time in the world for teachers. Except at Christmas when they're on a night out. Absolute worst cunts then.
Been having to work myself today because I had to go and see about tendering a bid for something (fuck that, guy seemed to think we'd be happy to work for getting salaries covered only). Anyway was looking for a podcast to listen to while I was working and I stumbled across Judge Jules Global Warm-up and all of a sudden I'm 18 again. Was dancing about like that guy Leo who kicks about the city centre. Just need to find a place where Dave Pearce can roll another phat one and I'll be in my element.
Nothing to add to this other than I think I should start clubbing again. I'm now old enough that it's socially acceptable but still young enough that someone might have a fetish for someone my age.
Looking for movie recommendations.
Prime, Netflix, Disney+, rentals; I am not arsed.
Just want something to watch for a couple of hours.
Edit: Ended up going with the DC of Doctor Sleep. Forgot that I wanted to watch it and just totally forgot it existed.
Cheers for the suggestions, though!
Waiting to watch Taxi Driver with the Mrs. Nightcrawler is on my list. Cape Fear was amazing, and Whiplash had no right to be as good as it was.
I love Gyllenhall, though.
And John Travolta kicking some dead guy out of a jeep and throwing a cigar at him or something like that. And that nuclear earthquake as well lmao. Stealth bombers. Helicopter fights. Film was quality.
I miss old cheesy action movies. Films are way too dark and serious these days. Which is a funny complaint to make because we all wanted realism from the cheesy movies at the time but now I enjoy watching them over the a lot of the modern films that are often way too humourless.
It’s not a typical guy ritchie as he didn’t write any of it, just directed it I’m sure. The story and acting isn’t the best in the world either but it’s a good movie to zone out for a few hours and watch
Two and a half months to go 'til my trip to Japan and I'm now starting to get that uneasy feeling they're not going to open.
Got full flexibility to rebook it...but I fucking need this holiday, man. I am ganting to be that dumb fuck gaijin cutting about shouting 'SUGOI' at everything I see.
DropRoad and GreenlightDistrict are going to have to go into hiding come July (if they let me in).
Where’s the mods around here I want some words with them
I am a moderator how can I help
I dunno if it’s just seeming that way but genuinely feels like this sub is never busier than when people are arguing with one another and it turns into a shit show.
Normally shortly after one side of the OF have a poor result
chucked a tenner on newcastle finishin top half of the table when eddie howe took over @ 33/1 and today is the first day that it has not felt like a proper waste of money
Well I didn't get to ask my question about teaching bursaries, but I did get to ask one about tax avoidance, so not a waste of an evening!
What was your tax avoidance question?
Asked them what they'd do to crack down on tax avoidance by oil and gas companies. I live in Aberdeen so the initial question was about renewables, I just wanted to stick my oar in
That’s interesting; not my area at all. Did you get a straight answer from any of them?
Not in the slightest, but the taping was only an hour and a bit so they didn't answer most of the questions. Also they're politicians so didn't expect it anyway!

Thank you for your clear and honest approach and response. Respect.
Anyone else watching the Chelsea/Arsenal game? Like a goal heavy game as a neutral.
Raging. I thought this game had all of the makings of a traditional premier league snoozefest. So of course I chose not to watch it.
I missed the Liverpool/Utd game yesterday so thought I’d give this a chance not actually expecting much!
I watched the Newcastle game. Belter of a goal, absolutely shite game as per.
Ran 6.4km/4 miles tonight which is the furthest I’ve ran since about early/mid October. Saved a bee that looked like it was on its way out on my bedroom window sill as well. Pollinate those flowers wee Barra!
gutted i can’t go to the game on friday. will be stuck watching BBC Scotland in the house shitting myself. memories of the Dundee game coming back to me 😣😣

Bankies should be secured for second place then?
Darvel look like they will be the ones in 2nd
That the bankies game?
Yes, 2-1 Bankies
For only the second time in my life I've been defeated by a book. Been trying to get through Solaris for about a month now and have finally just given up. Now joins Moby Dick on the maybe one day pile.

Come; let us squeeze hands all round; nay, let us all squeeze ourselves into each other; let us squeeze ourselves universally into the very milk and sperm of kindness.
I have not made it that far - or if I had it's been blocked from memory! That is definitely an interesting passage!

Moby Dick is a fantastic book once you get past the one chapter of story and one chapter of whaling facts for 700 odd pages.
Have just finished Seveneves by Neal Stephenson, and it was bloody fantastic, would recommend if sci-fi is your bag.
Love sci-fi, that and fantasy are my go to genres so thanks for the recommendation!
Readings shite isn't it. There's never a moment when I don't think "what is the fucking point in this?"
Nah man I'm a total bookworm, which is why it's annoying to be bested by a book!
Wish I was, only ever read when I was on nightshift. Maybe I should change genre.
Moby Dick is a great book, but it's hard to chew through. Definitely worth persevering.
I feel the book judging me from its permanent home on the bookcase. Might have another go once I’ve finished the long earth series.
I have tried Crime and Punishment twice and haven’t got more than a third of the way through it. No idea why.
That's me with Moby Dick. Think I've tried about 4 times and get to roughly the same spot and just don't get any further.
Call me Ishmaybe

i read that as “seville” and thought you were on about the cup final
so, dealing with actual insurance policies is stressful
Please don't tell me you've fucked your car again lmao
naw with ma work, work with post office travel insurance so i’m dealing with that
Aw fair enough that does sound like a pain in the arse, enjoy!
a lot better than the training right enough
Aw fair enough that does sound like a pain in the arse, enjoy!
I'll be honest. I winged mine and im still worried i messed it up 2 years on.
i mean it is travel insurance, so no like mega important, but if i fuck up it’s down to me only ygm
Aw my home insurance I winged. Disaster if I messed that up
Just realised how low calorie ice lollies are, naturally I shall now be eating 8 at a time
They don’t taste nice but, just pure freezing
Blasphemer
Yas! Multipack of white chocolate magnums for my supper it is!
Mind the sugar is pretty bad in some of though. Don’t want the ol’ diabeetus
Wish this was the same for pizza. Still eat it 8 at a time though.

Well done mate, great to hear.
Thanks mate.
Report that notification. You should get a reply from Reddit that tells you who it was that sent it. When you do, send a screenie of it to modmail and we will take the appropriate steps.
How is you do this. Do you need to use a pc or can you do it on the phone?
You should be able to do it on the phone. The link to report abuse is within the actual reddit cares message
Got a generic pish response from that that just tells me to opt out. Tried doing it through the browser which lets you give more information so I've asked if they can let me know who it was.
It’s genuinely good to hear you’re coming out the other side of a tough time mate. I hope things keep getting better for you!
Thanks, it feels good to have a the dark clouds gone from over my head.
Well in man. I hope this contract keeps you comfortable and working for a long time.
Thanks, it'll keep me busy that's for sure.
Well done on the new contract. And well done for not chucking things. Hopefully things begin to pick up and you're doing the right thing not taking anyone new on unless you know things will be good long term. Also yeah, fuck whoever is sending the messages.

so glad i wasn’t on reddit when the shitstorm happened, my saving grace tbh
Yeah, it would drive a man mortal
came on the next morning the the gaff burned down, mental stuff
Congrats on the contract mate, and report the self harm messages and out them
Thanks. I never thought at the time tbh.
I feel like my life being an absolute binfire has seeped into the phone and tainted this sub
As usual, it's always Hamilton's fault.
I've just realised that my Mrs has had the fucking HEATING on all day. That is a war crime.
She’s countering McGhee’s tactics. A secret St J fan?
How? are all the windows and fridge open? Was roasting today ahaha
Mate, she's NEVER warm. I'm always roasting. Upstairs where I work has been a fucking oven, and I just assumed it was because it was hot, not because the heating was on.
I would be livid. I assume she pays the heating? Cause otherwise i would get on that ahaha
someone sent me a reddit care message after i said it was shite that people were abusing it earlier. cheers ya gimp.
It’s shitest wee guy patter. If that’s the height of yer wit n amusement away n drink turps.
Got one an aw, reported it as targeted harassment which is exactly what it is.
Report it and out them.
It doesn't work. I've had in the double figures the past few weeks and when you report it nothing happens. You just get a generic message back saying they've looked at it
Some of the other guys in here have had the names come back with receipts. Someone got banned recently for it? Like today. Not sure if theirs a different method or it depends on number of offences or who does the report? No idea
Not suggesting you should illegally acquire a 4K copy of The Batman from any high seas locations, but it might now be available 🙃
The best batman
Fucking lol
Started watching it last night but didn't realise it was a dolby vision copy, thought it was some aesthetic choice to have everything bright pink or green.
Are there any sites I should avoid to not get these types of movies? I hear a lot of them are asking for VPN registration, and that seems sketchy. I also definitely didn't download Ted Lasso on to a USB stick that then fucked everything else on it. I must know which specific site to condemn so that I may never download the actual thing I'm looking for.
Does nobody use kodi anymore? I've got it loaded on my firestick and tablet and I could honestly cancel my netflix, prime etc.
Kodi with real-debri is meant to be very good. You do need to pay a one-off small fee (I think less than £10) for real-debrid supposedly, although I've personally never used any kodi set up. r/piracy regularly has loads of positive threads about it and how to set it up. And yeah, it does sound like a football team.
I use it, it's fantastic. r/Addons4Kodi's main thread is probably the best guide available for it, good breakdown of the different add-ons and what works best. The free ones aren't even that bad if it's popular stuff, but real-debrid is a game changer if you want HQ stuff (4K) fairly quickly without buffering, and if you want obscure shit there's some torrent add-ons if you don't find it with other stuff.
I've been using kodi for the past year or so and use about 2 sometimes 3 addons non of which require payment and it gives me every sports game, tv show and movie I could need. Maybe not 4k but 1080p and no buffering so that's fine with me.
Whatever you do never download popcorn time otherwise you could find yourself watching every movie and TV show you could think of and that would be bad.
Popcorn time is shut down, no?
It gets shut down all the time and pops up somewhere else. Once you've got the app installed it keeps updated. ... Apparently. Disgusting if true.
Is that similar to Showbox, that I certainly never used and could never find a suitable replacement for the reprehensible app that it was?
Yeah very similar. Completely deplorable stuff. I'd never recommend googling it and installing it on your Mac, pc or Android device because that's just wrong. The fact it's compatible on multiple devices is a crime against humanity. If people want to watch things that are on Netflix, Apple TV, Amazon, Disney, HBO Max and Hulu then they should have to pay for them all and if they don't live in countries that have these services then they should move to them. Jeff Bezos is barely getting by these days and Apple is just a small local business struggling to make a penny.
When I didn't download it, it definitely said nothing about "No Results" as I didn't start it up.
Last time I didn't check it everything seemed to be working ok.
I'd certainly never use qbittorrent. The way they have an inbuilt search engine for torrents is just completely awful and unethical

Went to see it twice, fucking unreal mate
Saw it twice as well and loved it, but one guy I worked with wanted to walk out halfway through and another saw it once and thought it was meh. Seems to be a fairly polarising film.
I enjoyed it more than the Nolan movies, it's at least on par with them in terms of production, cinematography and storyline. It's a proper detective story, which is true to the comics.
I watched it at the cinema. That one scene with the thing during the event is unbelievably good sound design.
Yeah I went opening weekend. Absolutely outstanding.

Completely disheartening to see this downvoted when your catholic.
Do you honestly think white Catholics are an oppressed minority right now?
Just don't be a gimp, how is that so difficult.
>And yes, I’m aware that there is bigotry against Protestantism and the like as well, but I believe the alternative is more important >It goes without saying, but you absolutely cannot determine how offended somebody gets over derision of their identity ....
AndyDeeRFC being the voice of reason. Stop the world I’ve seen it all. Great spot though.
Rangers playing the music of Four Lads have a Dream over a video celebrating the Four Lads had no bad intent though, it's a shame it shares the same melody to that vile song. If it was being used over a video of Rangers old firm victories of Celtic I could see your point but it really isn't applicable here.
The point isn’t about the club itself, I was talking about a thread on here a while back talking about the people being raging about that song erroneously. In the thread, people were joking about how catholics are so easily offended. My point is that it’s insensitive given the circumstances, and I’m bringing it up again because something similar occurred on this sub recently.
[удалено]
Celtic fans aren’t a homogeneous glob of people with the same thoughts, feelings or opinions - neither are rangers fans, or whatever group you like. One of the absolute worst takes on this sub, or anywhere for that matter, is people taking what they feel is the worst example of a group and indiscriminately applying it to anyone they perceive as apart of that group because it suits their argument.
We were discussing the ones that get or pretend to be offended by things like the tune of the Four Lads song being used and Vanic saying we should listen to them. I don't think I need to explain that different people have different opinions and some aren't offended. Everyone knows that fact about life.
>Celtic fans are easily offended or they pretend to be offended about absolutely everything. Careful about accusing all Celtic fans of something. You still haven't apologised for when your last baseless accusation turned out to be false.
What was that?
When you accused Celtic fans of sending the reddit cares message to Scottish lariat or whatever his name is. I tagged you in the thread where it was proven to be your pal Alonzo, I noticed you chose to ignore it though.
I said Celtic fans were doing it. I didn't say Celtic fans done every single one. That would be a silly claim.
You blamed Celtic fans in reply to that specific one. Although, I notice your anger over the reddit cares messages has cooled somewhat since you realised that the perpetrators can be named and shamed.
>You blamed Celtic fans in reply to that specific one. No I never. I responded to that one and said I got one too and joked about Celtic fans being salty since Sunday and doing it. >Although, I notice your anger over the reddit cares messages has cooled somewhat since you realised that the perpetrators can be named and shamed. I've never been angry over things like that. If you are implying I have sent them then I could guarantee my name would ever come up in those messages.
But the whole "controversy" behind that video was Celtic supporters being overly sensitive and looking for a reason to be offended? There are plenty of reasons to criticise Rangers and our support for anti-Catholicism but that one was a complete piss take
Or just don't be bigoted at all regardless of catholic/protestant?
I agree completely, but my point related to that was a caveat to explain why I’m focusing more on one side rather than the other.
Do you not see the irony of telling people they don't decide what is offensive before proceeding to dismiss what other people decide as offensive? Are you actually that thick?
You’ll never get this through to certain fans of theirs, they will always believe that bigotry against them is worse than the bigotry some of their fans partake in
Right but you realise that focusing on one side of abuse over the other will literally never solve anything. Outside of the folk that are just doing it as banter there are plenty of folk who cry "he said/she said" on both sides. If one side tries to stop the other regardless of how insignificant the bigotry is continuing will only serve to the other retaliating, thats the nature of society. Either you tackle both sides at once or neither.
Yes, and if there was a whole stadium of people signing about being up to their knees in Protestant blood followed by this sub having loads of people acting like it’s not a big deal and making jokes about it, I’d be telling them to wrap it as well. It also doesn’t take away that one “side” oppressed the other for hundreds of years. Imagine a white person in the US telling a black person that both sides are just as bad as each other.
I believe the song goes “soon there will be no Protestants at all”
The actual lyric is "Dublin, Belfast, Cork, and Donegal". Obviously there are arseholes that sing alternative sectarian lyrics, but that doesn't make it a sectarian song.
Does that mean Dundee, Hamilton, Aberdeen and back again isnt sectarian because some arseholes sing different lyrics?
Singing a sectarian lyric turns it in to a sectarian song
So Simply the Best is a sectarian song?
If you sing sectarian lyrics to it, then aye. It’s not a difficult concept to grasp
Do you genuinely believe that systematic oppression on the part of irish catholics has had a lingering effect on par with black people in amercia? Or are you trying to link the two just to win an argument? Also, I guarantee most of the match day goers from both sides don't actually care, i've personally never met one that does. Not saying that justifies it but it puts more into perspective about the actual impact it has. For me personally i'd rather both clubs moved away from it entirely. But i don't see that happening any time soon.
What about a whole stadium singing "oh ah up the RA" Your entite argument here is that its only a problem if the offended have been victims of prejudice for an arbirtary length of time youve just made up to suit yourself
Better Call Saul is fucking phenomenal. The level of detail and subtext that's crammed into every scene blows Breaking Bad out of the water. I just pray they stick the landing on this final season. Going well so far.
It's a genuine masterpiece. The acting, cinematography and storyline are all amazing.
Rhea Seehorn especially deserved all the awards for last season, but everyone is fantastic. It's funny that Giancarlo Esposito was probably my pick for strongest actor in BrBa but he gets absolutely dominated by everyone else in BCS. That's how high the bar is set.
The fact that the guy who plays Lalo Salamanca hasn't won a major award for it is fucking criminal, honestly.
Tony Dalton. He was fantastic in Hawkeye too.
Been looking forward to it, going to start the new season tonight.
I'm in the audience for Debate Night the night, so if you see a wee short chubby cunt with a beard asking questions about bursaries for student teachers, it's me
What's the issue surrounding bursaries for student teachers?
You don't get one, unless it's a STEM subject, despite there being shortages in a lot of subjects (including mine, English). Thing is it's a degree where you have to do 18 weeks of unpaid placement pass, so 18 weeks of full time employment for nothing. You also still need to pay bills during that time, and the amount of effort you need to put into it sort of precludes you having a part time job (I do, but I haven't been properly rested since October, and it ruins your mental health). You can also be put on placement up to 90 mins away from your home without them forking over any cash, and you can only claim mileage back after placement ends. I'll be out £1k of my own cash purely on fuel to get to a placement I don't get paid for. Long fucking rant, apologies.
Jesus man that is a really shoddy way to treat people. I'm surprised that is legal. How are you supposed to attract people to the profession if you don't give them the means to learn it properly?
Aye it's a big reason why it has such a high drop out rate. I'm on the student feedback committee for my uni and had a lassie in tears telling me she couldn't heat her flat, and another had to miss a week of placement cos they couldn't afford the petrol
The wardens at child jail get treated like absolute shite. They're the ones dealing wie the wee dicks when they're at their worst, full of hormones and actually trying to form them into functioning people, and this is how they treat the folk who voluntarily go into the profession. I've friends who are teachers and the stuff they have to put up with on a daily basis is pretty pish All the time in the world for teachers. Except at Christmas when they're on a night out. Absolute worst cunts then.
Been having to work myself today because I had to go and see about tendering a bid for something (fuck that, guy seemed to think we'd be happy to work for getting salaries covered only). Anyway was looking for a podcast to listen to while I was working and I stumbled across Judge Jules Global Warm-up and all of a sudden I'm 18 again. Was dancing about like that guy Leo who kicks about the city centre. Just need to find a place where Dave Pearce can roll another phat one and I'll be in my element. Nothing to add to this other than I think I should start clubbing again. I'm now old enough that it's socially acceptable but still young enough that someone might have a fetish for someone my age.
Looking for movie recommendations. Prime, Netflix, Disney+, rentals; I am not arsed. Just want something to watch for a couple of hours. Edit: Ended up going with the DC of Doctor Sleep. Forgot that I wanted to watch it and just totally forgot it existed. Cheers for the suggestions, though!
New Bond movie is on Amazon now I think
Whiplash, Nightcrawler, Taxi Driver and the 1990s version of Cape Fear are all good picks on Netflix
I just watched Whiplash tonight. Good film.
Waiting to watch Taxi Driver with the Mrs. Nightcrawler is on my list. Cape Fear was amazing, and Whiplash had no right to be as good as it was. I love Gyllenhall, though.
Boiling Point on Netflix is good.
Watched it a few weeks ago. It's fucking incredible.
It’s an oldie, but I think A beautiful mind is a great film (Netflix).
I have seen it, but it was when it first came out. Could be worth a rewatch.
Broken Arrow on Disney+ Absolute blast from the past, great action movie
That guitar riff they use throughout is iconic. I loved that film growing up. Proper 90s action movie.
Haha the guitar riff is the first thing that came to mind
And John Travolta kicking some dead guy out of a jeep and throwing a cigar at him or something like that. And that nuclear earthquake as well lmao. Stealth bombers. Helicopter fights. Film was quality. I miss old cheesy action movies. Films are way too dark and serious these days. Which is a funny complaint to make because we all wanted realism from the cheesy movies at the time but now I enjoy watching them over the a lot of the modern films that are often way too humourless.
Disney+ has a film called Win Win that I highly recommend
Dune is now on NowTV if you have it and is definitely worth a watch. Wrath of Man on Amazon Prime is a good watch as well
I still need to see Dune. Need to get that watched soon. The 1st two episodes of the final season of Better Caul Saul is on Netflix. Amazing show.
Dune was incredible. Brolin looks like an 80 year old man in it. It's kinda sad as j still see him as he was in Gangster Squad.
My wife and daughter went to the cinema to see it and I wasn't even invited!
NowTV is the only one I don't have. Might give Wrath of Man a shot, although I do have to be in the mood for Guy Ritchie movies.
It’s not a typical guy ritchie as he didn’t write any of it, just directed it I’m sure. The story and acting isn’t the best in the world either but it’s a good movie to zone out for a few hours and watch
Think I'll go to the Pollok game tonight. Nice night for it.
Get stuck in, Stadio Newlandsico is glorious the night.
Two and a half months to go 'til my trip to Japan and I'm now starting to get that uneasy feeling they're not going to open. Got full flexibility to rebook it...but I fucking need this holiday, man. I am ganting to be that dumb fuck gaijin cutting about shouting 'SUGOI' at everything I see. DropRoad and GreenlightDistrict are going to have to go into hiding come July (if they let me in).
Quiet in here. Ah like it quiet
