Ghosts of Vetoes Past
Cherry Bomb doesn’t have a score because it actually scored 0. It was mod discretion

BJSC 187: Confirmations
Yes, we threw it out then as well

BJSC 187: Confirmations
Idk I just enter whatever I’m loving the most at that moment in time that won’t be thrown out by the veto. Put literally no more thought than that into it. (And it shows, I know Pavel) I try not to over think it or put too much stock in the outcome +1 to this. Veto only exists to ensure this isn’t a race to the bottom featuring this summers latest releases from Madonna, Charlie XCX, Ariana Grande etc and remains a place where everyone can find a new song or artist. Have no interesting in policing entries any further

BJSC 187: Confirmations
I have no qualms skipping a track before it’s finished. Some pieces just really are not your cuppa and that’s ok, not everything is gonna be. You don’t have to force yourself to sit through something you clearly hate, regardless of if it’s 2 mins or 20 mins. There’s no points or rewards for sitting and suffering through every second of every track

I only listen to a long songs in full if it captivates me after the first couple of minutes. You gotta earn those extra minutes

The Official Labour Thread: Live From M'cer (mk IV)
Mr Devolution wants to give out oil and gas licenses that Holyrood already denied…. Excellent work Andy. At least with Burnham in charge Scotlands oil wealth will be spent closer to home this time. Will only have to travel to Manchester to enjoy the infrastructure instead of all the way to London Someone mentioned an energy markets restructure that Miliband did? Very curious about that? Coz currently transmission charges are structured as so: London and SE England generate zero power, take all the power, pay f*** all transmission charges. Northern Scotland: generates all the power, needs a wee bit for themselves, pays some of the worlds highest transmission charges. Surely that’s backwards right. If you choose to live far away from where the power is generated you should pay for the cost of getting the power to you. So what reform did he actually bring in?

BJSC186 - Upgrades Results
Stoked to be through!!! Only losing my one pointer is not as much of a shame as the worst song in the contest qualifying but I had expected Elëdan to make it through so had already come to terms with being subjected to that again

Sony to go all digital from 2028
Nope, it’s a control thing. If they remove physicals they remove the second hand market and become the sole source of PlayStation games. This is about profit maximisation at the expense of players. Should note, Sony have been pushing devs to include microtransactions. They were pissed at gran turismo for having too few for example. This is just about shareholder wealth And remember if buying isn’t owning then piracy isn’t stealing

What is the first news event you can remember?
For me it’s Diana as well and then the violent disintegration of Yugoslavia, the genocide in Bosnia and the NATO bombing campaign in Serbia. That one I remember quite explicitly.

Elon Musk becomes world's first trillionaire
I am so excited Not for the listing of SpaceX but because this is the exit plan from the Ponzi scheme for the high levels right. So I’m super excited to watch it all crash down and for all the financial investigations after that land muskrat in prison for the rest of his life. Elmo is a con artist, perhaps the best their ever was, but nothing more. I won’t feel bad for retail investors who lose everything they voluntarily put into one of his two companies. If you’re too thick to see the bullshit then that’s a you problem not a me problem. What I am concerned for is the institutional investors. Anyone with a nasdaq index has 15 days to divest before their index fund is polluted with this garbage. They changed all their rules to allow it (which should be raising all forms of Enron pyramid Ponzi scheme red flags) and so when it goes down it’s taking your pension with it. Switch to S&P, they refused to change their rules (12 months of trading history and profitability) for muskrat. I really want to know who is auditing spacex and who signed off on the inflated paper value of Twitter so that musk could pay off his debt to the saudis from spacex‘s bank account. Just as like as professional curiosity. Plus if it’s us I want an exit plan before we get Arthur Andersoned

By-elections 2024- (Part 2)
I’d be a lot more f***in concerned if she was seeing a campervan that was actually parked in Fife on the opposite coast of the country in her garden. The First minister hallucinating would’ve been a bit of a problem. It’s nice to see so many people and the press be normal about all of this and hound the wife for the husbands crimes. If only the press had put 1% of this effort into harassing Baroness Michelle Mone who made off with 100m in public money for fake PPE. Anyway. Scotland votes differently at Westminster vs Holyrood. I’d slate them both as holds tbh

I promised and I deliver. You may hate the song but the pretty basic Slavic white boy with the inexplicably hot chin beard is easy on the eyes
