After putting off a visit to the dentist for about 15 years I finally went today. I thought I was going for damage limitation but she said they're actually pretty good. Got a clean and polish and need to go back for a filling and polish them up another bit.
Was nervous as fuck beforehand but happy i went now.

Was then thinking; nearly every school in Ireland must have those notable alumni as there's so few schools. It's actually incredibly noteworthy compared to say the UK, where pretty much anyone important went to an elite hyper-expensive school, while in Ireland just turning up at whatever the local free secondary is gives you the same education as someone who went on to be influential. It's the same in France as UK and presumably most other countries - anyone notable went to a restricted access school and ordinary joes have no access to the same education, unlike Ireland. That's quite a cool thing imo.

Originally posted by Keane View PostIt's an interesting one despite being an uneasy topic. It does seem like lack of consent is taken for granted for other types of accusation in a way that doesn't apply here, whether that's codified in the legal system or just baked into normal attitudes that would exist amongst jurors etc.
People rarely consent to being robbed, assaulted, etc. But consensual sex is a regular thing. Take the consent away and the same act is rape.
Regarding the grilling of the accuser on the stand. It's unfortunate of course. But it's unavoidable imo. All evidence is going to be cross examined, and the reality is, in cases where people are in private together (as opposed to being attacked in public) a lot of the evidence is intangible.

Originally posted by DeadParrot View Postfear as a distraction (for trump & co) and conflict is clickbait (for media).
MSM hold the high horse and (rightly) calls out the craziness of the current US administration.
But as soon as a sniff of war comes along, explosions and projected death tolls will top the front page. It also ties nicely in with the trump will kill us all narrative.
NK want respect, the want the ability to sit at the big boys table as a nuclear power. It's a game they are playing quite a while to push and then back down. As soon as they have demonstrably proved they have ICBM abilities, proper diplomacy will take over. Until then it is sabre rattling on all sides.
I'm happy if it gets results. But isn't this exactly what NK have been after all along? To be treated as equals?
NK has invited us presidents many times in the past have they not?
Again, I'm happy if it yields resultsLast edited by DeadParrot; 09-03-18, 09:39.People say I should be more humble I hope they understand, they don't listen when you mumble

We did very little boozing bar beers and wine in the chalet as we were constantly absolutely beat!
Having said that, the chalet was great, food was good, the skiing itself is a blast and we are definitely planning on going again next year. I would imagine your first time is the highest drudgery to fun ratio as you know what you are doing a bit more subsequent times.

Originally posted by Keane View PostYou really engaged with the nuance of the discussion there, enlightening stuff.
As a parallel, take stealing (taking without consent). If somebody was accused of stealing from a shop, I doubt consent enters into it. But say a guy reports his car stolen and the cops pull over his ex-wife driving it. I'd imagine the suggestion that she had consent to use it might be entertained.
With rape sceneries. Consent is a huge issue in cases where people are in private alone. But where somebody is attacked in public place, with two black eyes thrown in the mix - it's less of a consideration imo.

[I am the very model of a Very Stable Genius.
I have a mighty button and no problems with my penius.
My time I waste on television, golf and social media
Because my brain is better than the best encyclopedia.]
My team is made of nuts and misfits and they’re all at daggers drawn;
They come and go as fast as any girl in golden shower porn.
The liberal media tells the public tales of how I’m such a boor;
But they’ll discover ‘statesmanship’ — the moment that I start a war.
My business life is full of fraud and lies and endless bankruptcy;
Though how this doesn’t suit a President, they won’t explain to me.
A vain and pampered con-man with a life that’s all frivolities:
I’m perfect for a failing, violent empire with no qualities.
—
They say I didn’t really win, and so they want me pilloried;
But you’d be fighting two more wars by now if you’d been Hillaried.
And don’t go showing me another film of some dead Arab kid:
I’d have my work cut out to kill as many as Obama did.
I don’t read science, economics, ethics or philosophy;
I’ve never studied politics; the Constitution bothers me.
It’s said that I’m just stupid and it makes me ineffectual;
But next to Bush and Reagan I’m a goddammed intellectual.
And now it seems that people want assessments of my mental state,
When psychiatric help should go to those obsessed with ‘Russiagate’.
A narcissistic bully with a billionaire’s priorities:
I’m perfect for a failing, violent empire with no qualities.
