Is the fact that there's no talk about the new Blade Runner indicative of the fact that it's expected to be shit?

Have a different question about Blade Runner. Presumably that was only very loosely set on Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? Watched the movie obv, and read the book, but never really connected them as being the same thing.

Android hunter is about the only substantial connection between the two honestly.

I've heard a lot that McDonalds is a great workplace if she ever thinks about changing. They focus a lot on training, quick promotions, on flexible hours to assist learning etc. Only ever heard the most positive things about them.

Don't think she will leave supermacs for now manager has went over and beyond helping her through everything and has been training her for months for position to help her focus on something. Renting now in Galway, lovely house. Two buses to work. She seems quite happy there. She's a girl who doesn't like change upsets her.

I can see her going back to study maybe when 25,shes Only 22.

I'll be honest I was fucking useless at 22, worked ya but leave home em no. She's in Galway now nearly 2 years. I'm genuinely surprised she lasted so long.

Supposed to be great actually, the first is one of my favourite films. Didn't want you bankers buying up the tickets

Also saw a film on Saturday night - Okja, Netflix's first produced film. Really enjoyed it, very unusual. Guy who directed Snowpiercer, which had some cachet here.

I read that king novel as a teen. I am glad the guy died .! The book wasn't that creepy kind of trashy though. In the novel when he gets rapey he dies by her kicking him in the groin ..
Gerald is a dick name.

Still a few points higher in approval rating than nixons 26 while he was getting impeached. He is getting there tho

Nixon also wouldn't make the top 10. So not really "getting there" in the slightest.
Is this what the clickbaity twitteratti have some to people? People can't objectively compare and just up on catchy headlines.

How on earth did he keep multiple guns in his room with no one knowing?

Have you never been in a hotel before?

Highest of the more than 300 mass shootings in the US so far this year

Well this year is kinda a sub-set of all time.

What's the criteria is for a shooting towards that 300?

Not sure yet - definitely in Sydney Sun-Tues. Maybe longer but probably Melbourne Weds-Fri. Then over to Tasmania until Tues.

I know you know your way around well enough, but let me know if you need any recomendations on the latest and greatest.

I received an email from Amazon.com about an account that was linked to my normal email address which is actually not my normal live Amazon account. It told me my email had been changed from XXX@XX to mia.lowery@bk.ru

I was not sure about email as there was no links and came from Amazon. So I logged in as normal and I changed my password. The email confirmation grouped in gmail with the one for the change of email address so it was genuine.

I went in and noticed this...

https://i.gyazo.com/0638fbabbe0f59019acef534d55a4374.png

As you can see the address was changed to the US. AND I had it set up for 1 click so if I did order something it was going straight to the US!

I had my old Irish card registered which has expired and I removed the 1 click settings. I then contacted Amazon and they investigating.

The clever person goes in, changes email, does the address thing and puts email back to what it was!
So those who use Amazon, check your addresses and make sure you take off the 1 click function.

How they got into my account is beyond me as I thought Amazon were pretty secure.

They got in, without me getting a message to say.


Just looked up address

You do realise that I was making a different comparison to what I felt was a more interesting point.

The top 10 most horrible leaders is a massively clickbaity topic and no us president would get near it as they didn't kill a notable percentage of their own population. That comparison is the epitome of a catchy headline with no substance or thought required.

Comparing him to the most unpopular presidents of the us I see as a more interesting comparison for a guy who came to power through basically making populist statements and what is akin to propaganda. The time to fall from grace is spectacular.

I would have thought American presidents were responsible for the most deaths over the last ~70 years by a long stretch. Might not count with a lot of them being brownish idk.

This seems like a really stupid plan, like who doesn't notices they suddenly have 1 click purchase on and just goes oh all right! Then they just accept the one random thing you bought before you figure it out?

Spammers must be out in force, they just tried to reset my facebook password. Bunts.

[Mellor]

Makes sense, similar to the definition of a serial killer.

You do realise that I was making a different comparison to what I felt was a more interesting point

I thought you were offering it as a counter to my post, as you quoted me. Apologies.

The top 10 most horrible leaders is a massively clickbaity topic and no us president would get near it as they didn't kill a notable percentage of their own population. That comparison is the epitome of a catchy headline with no substance or thought required.

Hmmm, how is it clickbaity? There's no hyperbole, do deception. There's not even a headline, catchy or otherwise.
I'm not suggestion who or should make the list. It's a relatively subjective thing, you could have a completely different 10 people than me (unlikely tbf). That's irrelevant,
I was simply trying to give the depths of shittiness shome sense of scale. The whole Trump is the anti-schtick is tiresome at this point.

Comparing him to the most unpopular presidents of the us I see as a more interesting comparison for a guy who came to power through basically making populist statements and what is akin to propaganda. The time to fall from grace is spectacular.

In terms of actually discussion, that's much more useful. But I wasn't trying discuss Trump alongside the great Tyrants. I was pointing out the stupidity of that line of thought.

As for approval rations. Trump's lowest was 34, he can probably get lower before christmas. But she still has surpassed the lowest ratings for Johnson, Carter, Bush (25), 'dubyya Bush (29), Truman (22) and Nixon (22).

So.....
New job

Tell us more

phone call out of the blue from english recruitment agency.
Found my cv on monster and asked my if they could contact a client representing me
sure says I thinking nothing of it.
That was wednesday afternoon.
Thursday afternoon, telephone interview
friday face to face
offer monday.


After the last 3 and half weeks false starts, low ball offers and rejections, it was almost sexual how it all came together ( ) so well.
Even got to reject another place that I was considering that I wasn't mad about.

A good day.

Cumulatively Id say you’re right. Hard to find anyone responsible for more death and disease on an individual level than Thomas Midgely Jr. though.

A bit abstract though Keith. What about those two lads from china that invented gunpowder and firearms
It was the chinese I was getting at above. This report estimates the US i responsible for 20 millions deaths in 37 countries since WW2. I've no idea if it that's a comprehensive total or not, and it's obvious excluding WW2.
But General Mao killed twice as many of his own people in just 4 years. lifetime, it's probably 70m. That's before you add in the laundry list of shit they've pulled in the last 80 years.

The missus is in dublin atm, I'm obviously not there. Think she's gonna meeting friends for dinner, and also my parents for. For some reasons they are looking to me to make a suggestion. No idea why seeing as I've hardly been there in the last 9 years.

Where's good in dublin for tapas type food these days? Not necessarily authentic spanish tapas. Modern bite sized share food doesn't sound as good. Anywhere else that you recommended? Staying somewhere on Harcourt st near St Stephens Green

Bit cliched but Salamanca is decent and not too expensive .

[Solksjaer!]

Lol just noticed the WW game title. Needs to be a book based on that name.

[DeadParrot]

markey bar, port house or fade st I would say
Salamanca or the cuban spot on georges st would be others, 777 for mexican tapas is also good.

Zaragosa seems to be quite a popular ladies who lunch haunt.

[Mellor]

Id probably just go to Fade Street.

That looks perfect Noel cheers.
Pork Belly, soft shell crab, beef carpaccio...I'm half to save that for when Im there. I might need a back up
