  • Thanks for the info. If your room does free up someone in the next couple days, lemme know! Out of curiosity, what would be a good amount of time to wait before chasing? by ThyRedeemer (Mon 24th Feb 2020 1:35pm)
  • Ah yes. You're right on that, they're fine with that as well, I just forgot to add it in. Thanks! by ThyRedeemer (Mon 24th Feb 2020 2:41pm)
  • I get your point, just thought I'd put it out there since my friend has been asked about it at one of the places they went to. by ThyRedeemer (Mon 24th Feb 2020 2:50pm)
  • Thanks for the offer, but it is what it is. by ThyRedeemer (Mon 24th Feb 2020 3:23pm)
  • Early 20's, why? by ThyRedeemer (Mon 24th Feb 2020 5:53pm)
  • Ah, understandable. Thanks for reaching out anyway. Good luck with your flat/life situation! by ThyRedeemer (Mon 24th Feb 2020 7:30pm)

  • Try the following groups: - Des Rocs - cleopatrick - JAXSON GAMBLE - Royal Blood cleopatrick's "Sanjake" is my go-to song to get hyped. Feel free to DM if you want anymore suggestions. :) by ThyRedeemer (Thu 7th May 2020 5:12pm)
  • I know, right? I'm surprised they haven't become a huge deal by now! by ThyRedeemer (Thu 7th May 2020 10:42pm)
  • I'm sure the "racist fuckwits" have WhatsApp group chats and sub-reddits as well. You saying we should boycott those as well? by ThyRedeemer (Wed 27th May 2020 11:06am)
  • Used to play it a while back. Went about wrecking portals on my walk to/from work. Obviously, can't do it much right now... by ThyRedeemer (Wed 27th May 2020 12:35pm)
  • Well I'll be damned, this is it. Many thanks fellow Redditor! by ThyRedeemer (Wed 27th May 2020 2:22pm)
  • This. This is how you do this. Bravo to the council for how they're handling this. Virtue signalling is shit and only serves to stoke the flames. Don't do it. Edit: dealt with a typo by ThyRedeemer (Fri 12th Jun 2020 3:22pm)
  • Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't you need to seek permission for asylum from the host country? Not saying they shouldn't be here, but if they can just waltz/be ferried in, what's the point of having an immigration/asylum-seeking process? Obvious disclaimer: I don't believe "all brown people are terrorists". by ThyRedeemer (Sat 27th Jun 2020 1:54am)
  • Obviously. Honestly, I don't know what to believe anymore. Situation A) Farage could just be acting like a xenophobic ass and those people are actual asylum seekers who are here legally after being granted asylum Situation B) They actually are illegal immigrants but newspapers don't want to be branded xenophobic so they either don't disclose or really downplay the point. Both are infuriating, but what's more infuriating is that they're both equally likely in "current year". Either way, no one should be stabbed, let alone be stabbed to death. That shit's wrong, period. by ThyRedeemer (Sat 27th Jun 2020 2:46am)
  • In an ideal world, neither A nor B would have to be considered and we'd have objective, unbiased journalism and extreme xenophobia wouldn't be a thing. It's equally sad that you wouldn't doubt popular news outlets having a leaning (to either side). I.e. almost blindly believing whatever your favourite newspaper tells you, because it aligns with your worldview. In fact, the "paper" you sent me goes ahead and "proves" that a lot of the popular news outlets have a leaning. Which, again, ideally shouldn't happen - reporting *should* be as objective as possible. Speaking of the "paper" you sent, it reads (at least 21/34 pages in) more like a published opinion than a paper. Sure there are some research methodologies used and attempts to appear neutral are here and there, but it just resounds with the "left good, right bad" mindset. I really can't stomach an "academic" paper with such bias (even if it was reversed). The author goes and labels practically everything that is against *illegal* immigration as "harsh and negative" - including the word "illegal" itself. So, let's agree that everyone has their biases and said biases affect how things are reported (unfortunately in greater magnitude off late). Some outlets want to play it safe to avoid an outrage mob from either side, which is a pity, but newspapers are businesses and their sales rely on their reputation. I'm sure those charities are trying to do their best, if not doing amazing work. I don't doubt it, in fact I'm all for it. It's just that it should be for those who *actually* were legally granted asylum status (as opposed to just being ferried over and expecting to be taken care of, while there are others already in line). Edit 1: fixed a typo ("idea" was meant to be "ideal") by ThyRedeemer (Sat 27th Jun 2020 2:09pm)
  • Gotta respect they still came out in that shite weather XD by ThyRedeemer (Sat 27th Jun 2020 2:15pm)
  • To be fair, any parade during a global pandemic is a shitey parade by ThyRedeemer (Sat 27th Jun 2020 2:32pm)
  • So people trying to cross the Channel in a dinghy to get into UK is a mass hallucination? by ThyRedeemer (Sat 27th Jun 2020 6:55pm)
  • A lot of outlets are either saying they're "suspected to be asylum seekers" or are unsure. by ThyRedeemer (Sat 27th Jun 2020 7:04pm)
  • Good to know the guy's awake. Hope they find that asshat. Any link to that video? by ThyRedeemer (Sun 28th Jun 2020 1:21pm)
  • Sex shop, I think? That's what it looked like. by ThyRedeemer (Sun 28th Jun 2020 1:43pm)
  • Or maybe someone posted a mean tweet? /s by ThyRedeemer (Sun 28th Jun 2020 1:45pm)
  • It kinda is. Being walking distance from a lot of conveniences is... Convenient. by ThyRedeemer (Sun 28th Jun 2020 1:45pm)
  • Cheers! by ThyRedeemer (Sun 28th Jun 2020 3:07pm)
  • Anyone care to explain why this is getting downvoted? by ThyRedeemer (Sun 28th Jun 2020 3:05pm)
  • Clearly someone else was interested, which is why a video was taken in the first place, no? by ThyRedeemer (Sun 28th Jun 2020 3:40pm)
  • Anyone know where you can get a (reliable) stock of facemasks (or washable alternatives)? Thanks! by ThyRedeemer (Thu 2nd Jul 2020 1:19pm)
  • Aight. Would you happen to know where you can get washable/reusable ones? Either way, thanks :D by ThyRedeemer (Thu 2nd Jul 2020 1:23pm)
  • "Dammit, CoViD"? Nice and short by ThyRedeemer (Fri 9th Oct 2020 1:25pm)
  • Reminds me of a scene from Monty Python and the Holy Grail, now that I think about it. by ThyRedeemer (Sun 20th Dec 2020 2:40pm)
  • I moved into a flat that uses it last year. I have almost no complaints about it, not gonna lie. Full disclosure: there was a period where my net would randomly start lagging horribly (from over 1G to some 50M). Got in touch with support and it turns out my router was old AF. They shipped a new one in the next couple of days, free of cost. Internet connection (WiFi) hasn't had any issues since then. by ThyRedeemer (Tue 2nd Feb 2021 6:44pm)
  • Fair enough. I can only go by what I've experienced with them so far. by ThyRedeemer (Wed 3rd Feb 2021 12:54pm)
  • "bigots to the left of me, *-phobes to the right and here I am, stuck in this clown world with you" Note: the * represents a "wildcard" (in case anyone reading this is unaware) by ThyRedeemer (Sat 17th Apr 2021 10:39am)
  • I'd give you mine, but I'm already playing the saddest song on it. by ThyRedeemer (Sat 24th Apr 2021 7:33pm)
  • You're right to want to secure a future for your children, but what about others? The children of other parents that have just grown up, graduated and want to start a new life and maybe a family also want a home. By all means, if you want to purchase a home for your children, do it. However, if it seems like the tax is there to discourage you from buying **another** home for your children (so that others can buy their first home), that's probably the case. If you have the means to pay the 4% "penalty", buy it. If you don't, whining about it won't get the sympathy you're looking for. by ThyRedeemer (Sat 24th Apr 2021 7:45pm)
  • Take the wealth of the 1% and watch it go to another set of 1%-ers. Which, in socialist/communist governments is usually the people in power. Did you people learn nothing from existing and past socialist/communist regimes? by ThyRedeemer (Mon 3rd May 2021 12:38pm)
  • Silly question, but what's "factoring" in this context? by ThyRedeemer (Fri 4th Jun 2021 11:27pm)
  • Ah, thanks! by ThyRedeemer (Sat 5th Jun 2021 12:26pm)
  • What's wrong with that pub? by ThyRedeemer (Mon 7th Jun 2021 5:32pm)
  • COP26 - the meeting that could *and should* have been an email/video conference. Especially during a time when everyone has been told to stay at home so as to avoid unnecessary contact. You know, during the pandemic that everyone has been told about? We've all had to make do with WFH and countless jobs have been lost and small shops closed. But hey! Lets have hundreds of people *fly* (using combustion engine-powered aircraft) *into* Glasgow for a summit on the environment! :D by ThyRedeemer (Mon 25th Oct 2021 3:15pm)
