The Flood / Anyone want the entire series of justified?
« on: January 24, 2016, 09:10:43 PM »
I obtained the DVD box set of it and it came with the ultralight thing that sony sticks in their boxes which lets you download the digital versions of the content for use anywhere.

I don't have HDD space and I don't really like digital shit much so if anyone on here wants the codes then they are free to have them.

If you don't know what the show is, it's about a marshal who goes around kentucky shooting everyone in sight and getting rather drunk in the process. 10/10 show tho

Quote
U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens is a modern day 19th century-style lawman, enforcing his brand of justice in a way that puts a target on his back with criminals and places him at odds with his bosses in the Marshal service. That conflict results in a reassignment for Givens to the U.S. District covering the town where he grew up. He is an anachronism - a tough, soft spoken gentleman who finds his quarry fascinating, but never gives an inch. Dig under his placid skin and you'll find an angry man who grew up hard in rural Kentucky, with an outlaw father, who knows a lot more about who he doesn't want to be than who he really is.
imdb shit

any takers?

I'll send it via PM incase one of the chinese indexing bots decides to yoink the code <_<

''Man ordered to tell police if he plans to have sex''

Quote
A man cleared of raping a woman has been ordered to give police 24 hours' notice before he has sex.

The man, in his 40s, who cannot be named for legal reasons, was acquitted in 2015 at a retrial after claiming the alleged victim had consented.

An interim sexual risk order, initially imposed in December, has been extended for four months by magistrates in York.

It requires the man disclose any planned sexual activity to the police or face up to five years in prison.

The order - which was drawn up by magistrates in Northallerton, North Yorkshire, and extended in York - reads: "You must disclose the details of any female including her name, address and date of birth.

"You must do this at least 24 hours prior to any sexual activity taking place."

It also contains restrictions on his use of the internet and mobile phone devices and requires him to inform officers of any change of address.

A further court hearing in May will decide whether the interim order should be made into a full order, which has a minimum duration of two years and can last indefinitely.

Sexual risk orders were introduced in England and Wales in March last year and can be applied to any individual who the police believe poses a risk of sexual harm, even if they have never been convicted of a crime.

They are civil orders imposed by magistrates at the request of police.

Maybe april fools has come early or maybe britbongistan has started taking notes from greentext stories for new government policies.

Court orders for sex offenders aren't exactly unheard of, but this is really starting to take the piss.

Two highlights

Serious / Psychology Q&A
« on: January 16, 2016, 12:55:18 PM »
It feels like forever since I made an actual psychology thread, so this is to partly gauge interest and partly to start it off again.

The idea of this thread is quite simple, you ask literally anything that is somewhat related to psychology (and associated pseudosciences) and I'll do my best to answer it or to discuss the question.

I'll just add a couple of disclaimers/points for obvious reasons
Spoiler
1. My area of interest, current and future study and (hopefully) future career is Mental Health. You can expect more detailed answers in this field than say if you asked about relationships or perception but I've studied most of the fields of psychology now (5 years lets you cover a decent amount of material) so I can give it a shot regardless.

2. Following on from that, I am just a student - I'm not qualified to give medical/psychological treatments or diagnoses and whenever someone has asked me for help with something I do make that clear. What I am able to do is help someone to understand what might be the problem and where to seek help from, explain psychological theories of illnesses and other bits of advice - but as always take with a pinch of salt because the field itself changes with every year regardless.

I'll be AFK for a while, so take your time with any questions you might have and I'll come back to them later tonight/tomorrow depending on how heavy they are.

I reserve the right to ignore posts mentioning sigmund freud and any posts by the user himself.

Psychology is a pseudoscience and a scam, keep giving your money to therapists and they'll keep laughing their way to the bank. Freud was a troll, Jung was a bad troll, Beck ripped off the buddhists, skinner was a techpriest and harlow was a psychopath. Avoid psychologists.

The Flood / How would you describe yourself?
« on: January 12, 2016, 01:33:52 PM »

You can decide what to describe, be it interests or biographical details.

The Flood / How do you pronounce scone?
« on: January 11, 2016, 03:59:46 PM »
If you thought that the colour of your milk cap was important, it's completely trivial when it comes to the pronunciation of the word 'Scone'

So

Are you a blue-blooded southerner, full of class and culture?
Or a peasant from the northwilds, fit for shooting at and composting?

For the yanks, a scone is what you call a biscuit.

The Flood / Do you enjoy your life right now?
« on: January 07, 2016, 11:01:51 AM »
It's very easy for people to think of things they hate in life, like their job or school.
But on the whole, or just with something specific, do you enjoy life?

The Flood / How do you treat technology?
« on: January 03, 2016, 11:10:09 AM »
Nothing like a bit of evangelising on a sunday in the name of the omnissiah

but as a more serious than technotheological question, how do you treat technology in general?

Were you brought up in a house devoid of the digital until you were already reasonably old? And does this correspond to you treating machines carefully and respectfully because of their cost and value?

Were you brought up with an iphone in your cradle?  Do you drop it in the street constantly like a filthy heretek?

The questions here aren't just the usual crazy psy's religious shilling, but more one of psychological curiosity. Whether early exposure to technology devalues it or if it makes no difference?

Generally speaking a lot of the users here fall around the 20 years old mark, give or take a couple of years so it's a fairly close sample to look at in terms of technological availability/progress but the variables will come down to family wealth and access to tech at an early age (amongst other things)

So yeah, if you wouldn't mind describing your general approach and outlook on all things sacred and technological then that would be quite dandy.

Serious / Obama to take unilateral action on US gun violence
« on: January 01, 2016, 08:30:34 PM »
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-35211294

Quote
President Obama has said he will take unilateral action to tackle the problem of gun violence in the US.

In his first weekly address of 2016, Mr Obama said he would meet Attorney General Loretta Lynch to discuss actions he could take.

He said he was using his executive powers as president because the US Congress has failed to address the problem.

Analysts say there will be a backlash from gun activists and Republicans.

But Mr Obama told Americans that he had received too many letters from parents, and teachers, and children, to sit around and do nothing.

"We know that we can't stop every act of violence," the president said. "But what if we tried to stop even one? What if Congress did something - anything - to protect our kids from gun violence?"

He has admitted that his inability to win Congressional backing for what he called "common sense gun laws" was the greatest frustration of his presidency.

The BBC's Laura Bicker in Washington says the president could use his executive authority in several areas, including expanding new background check requirements for buyers who purchase weapons from high-volume dealers.

However he is likely to face stiff opposition to his plans, our correspondent says.

The National Rifle Association has already launched a video series attacking gun control activists.

And in Texas, a new "open carry law" will allow Texans with a permit to wear handguns on their hips in holsters - openly displaying the fact they are armed.

Last month a Texas police chief warned the president that trying to disarm Americans could spark a revolution.

Previous efforts to introduce stricter gun control laws have repeatedly foundered despite the large number of people dying in gun attacks.

A joint Democrat-Republican bill following the 2013 shooting of 20 children and six adults at a primary school in Connecticut failed to get the 60 votes needed to broaden background checks and ban assault weapons.

tl;dr he's gonna use executive orders to get shit done

Thoughts, americans?

The Flood / Probably the weirdest question I've ever asked
« on: December 14, 2015, 06:48:48 PM »
Sooooooo

Question from my childhood that never got an answer

When a predator kills it's prey, and it bites into the abdomen to eat - what happens if it bites through the stomach lining?

So a lion catches a wildebeest, kills it and bites into it's guts to feed - does the stomach acid inside the wildebeest harm the lion or does the lion avoid the stomach?

Similar vein but for human physiology, if you stabbed someone in the stomach with a knife - would the stomach acid leak out?

The Flood / Sep7agon helped me at work today
« on: December 13, 2015, 05:57:44 PM »
So towards the end of my shift, I'm by the counter and my boss is chatting with a customer and as they say adieu bossman says 'inshallah' as a parting comment

Couple of issues there

1. inshallah =/= goodbye
2. the customer in question spends a lot of money on scratchcards for fun, pretty sure gambling = haram sooooooo I doubt he's a muslim or a practicing one anyhow but hey, he's from an arabic country with an arabic name so potato potato.
3. this is yet another example of #creepingsharia in the UK

so anyhow, boss asks me if what he said was correct because he's not actually muslim (when your name has 'Singh' in it, zero prizes for guessing his religion) and because I know a little bit about a lot of things and he tends to ask all manner of questions to pick my brains.

Now here's where sep7 comes in.

Prior to the ayatollah banter that was going on a little while back, I knew three things in arabic/muslamic - Jihad, Allahu Akbar and Kuffir.
Through discourse with my fellow imams in this wonderful jewish madrassa, I picked up a few less loaded arabic phrases.

Inshallah, Mashallah, Salaam alaikom and bismallah

If god wills it, it is god's will, peace be upon you and in the name of god respectively (rough meanings of course, I don't into kabob)

So rather than the unhelpful additions of terrorist words to the conversation, sep7 allowed me to point out that inshallah doesn't really work as goodbye and that instead he might want to greet him with salaam alaikom next time <.<

Anyway that's my islamic day in a nutshell

How has sep7 helped you in your employment?

Serious / Do you think Trump is a double agent?
« on: December 13, 2015, 04:50:40 PM »
A theory that has been kicking around for a little while is that Trump is actually a double agent trying to hamstring the republican party to secure a win for the democrats.

The BBC did an article on this recently to stir shit up again, because the UK is currently sperging over him wanting to ban all UK citizens from entering the USA.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-35066940

The article is fairly well balanced and tongue in cheek to a point, but I imagine yanks can already form an opinion on this question without some pre-reading.

What do you think, is he going to pull off the mask and reveal the lizard face right at the crucial point of the election? Or he is doing it for publicity/amusement? Or is he genuine? (as far as politicians go)

The Flood / Most painful moment of your life? Surgery/Accidents etc
« on: December 06, 2015, 05:31:43 PM »
Cheerful topic for a sunday evening

What was the single most painful moment in your existence this far?

That one moment that you just wince looking back at.

Mine, contains needles for the squeamish
For me it was partial nail avulsion surgery, treatment for ingrown toenails.
It all sounds like fairly routine and mild stuff, right up until they stick a needle in between your toes and keep on injecting anaesthetic until you want to scream. Injections are never pleasant, blood tests are a little bit shit but fuck me sideways that was agony.

The best part was, the anaesthetic didn't work on me.

So they had to do it again.

And again.

And again.

It was the fourth injection where I couldn't feel it anymore, but sweet jesus why.

THEN THEY HAD TO DO THE OTHER FOOT TOO ;_______;

on the plus side though, despite the nurses saying to just stare at my phone or something I sat up and watched the operation <_<
It's kind of weird watching people stick pliers, bolt cutters and scalpels under your toenail and it not hurting.

Pretty unpleasant all around though, so now I try not to wear socks as much as possible <_<
I don't want a repeat of that day, ever.

Post your stories flood e.e

The Flood / The tradition of banter goes back a long way in Britain
« on: December 02, 2015, 01:27:04 PM »
Way back when the nazis were still being a bit of a problem in europe, the theory goes that the bri'ish spies dug up some of hitler's WW1 medical records, where an examination recorded he was missing a nut. To 'drive him round the bend, whatwhat' they decided to encourage the spread of banter that mocked hitler's missing crown jewel.

One such appearance of this government sanctioned banter is this little ditty

[Introductory verse]
To the tune of 'land of hope and glory'
Tune embed for the yanks
YouTube


Quote
Land of Soap and Water
Hitler's avin a bath
Churchills lookin through the keeeeeyhole
Avin a jolly good laugh

[Bridge]
Beeeeeeeeeeecaaaaaaaauuuuuuuse

[Main verses]
To the tune of Colonel Bogey/Bridge on the River Kwai song
YouTube


Quote
Hitler has only got one ball
The other is in the Albert Hall1
His mother, the dirty bugger
Cut it off when he was small

She threw it into a great big tree
It fell into the deep blue sea
The fishes got out their dishes
And had scallops2 and bollocks3 for tea

Footnotes for the yenks
1. Propa bri'ish exhibition hall
2. Seafood, dunno if you call them scallops across the pond or what but it's the little marshmallow looking things that cost a fortune
3. Slang for goolies, which is slang for knackers, which is slang for nuts, which is slang for testes.

If any other bongs wish to add historical banter to the thread, feel free. The next post is gonna be on the Archer's Salute™ (Historical accuracy be damned, it's banter all the same).

For the best day of the year on youtube/liveleak/worldstar?

No, not black friday.

Black and Blue saturday, when everyone starts uploading the fight footage from black friday.

Tbh last year was kind of a disappointment, the best fights came from Asda which was a bit lame. Bri'ish fighting usually just involves CUNT CUNT CUNT until one person KOs the other, it's funny but nothing on the screaming Darksided freakouts you yenks get up to.

I bought several bags of popcorn today, I'm hoping for a real festive treat E.E

How about you chaps?
