Aer lingus is owned by BA, they use Avios too

And veuling to Orly, and Air France to CdG

I am shocked that someone who used that many words to orbit the point he was gesturing towards, without ever managing to define it, has been accused of mansplaining.

Was there a book involving Contact where the big bad guy wasn't a plutocrat within the military-industrial-political complex?

Even the Azad game in PoG was a metaphor for capitalism; the winner became emperor. And there weren't secret paedophile, there were oppressed genders.

The man is a dipshit

Leaids... the title was in the photo.

And the ones like McLurk who search their pseudonyms...

I tweeted "sports gemma" back in the day (in reference to Kellie Harrington having one of her GBNews racist/anti-trans moments) and yer man in Brazil quote tweeted me looking for sympathy about how he was being bullied by the left

Also, Karp was always a loon. He didn't turn Maga, his (Theil funded) operation has been oppressing brown people and killing innocents since Obama's time

The only interesting part of what Gladwell writes is the hunting down of his errors.

Brilliant movie. Though every time I think of it, I think of the couple on their first date who were sitting beside me in the IFI. I doubt there was a second one.

Oh I know, they obfuscate the problem with talk about holidays but the people who demand such special treatment are usually 'undocumented workers' who don't think that description applies to white people

All about avoiding injury. Figure out what you're comfortable with the first week. Then add 10-15% each week. If you're only able for 1km consistently it's a slow start, but you get there. If it's 2km, then it'll take you half the time to get there.

Then don't stop at 5km, keep adding 15% each week

The actual policy regarding blocking people may require an FOI (if it isn't public), but if there isn't one it could be a useful action if it forces them into actually having a policy (which would avoid those scenarios where a comms person simply blocks users on a whim).

you could put in a subject access request to see if they were talking about you (I think @tupped.bsky.social had some fun with that, back in the day).

The whole rental thing creates different problems, I know a candidate in the locals last year who was doing heaps of community work with people, and then come election season, loads of them were no longer living in the area so they just weren't there to give them a vote.

It's so much easier to be dealing with middle class people who want to get their trees trimmed and complain about something they read in the Irish Times.

When the half that are grand are >80% of the vote there's fuck all interest in the rest
