Completely unplayable now

The ‘Royal Mail’ our traditional red van driving, government owned at one time. Used to employ local uniformed post men and women with some common sense.
They send a photo if nobody is in of the package in a ‘safe place’.
Third customer I’ve had this happen to. I use next day signed for when I sell on Discogs or ebay.
Online ‘Listening Parties’
Especially on Bandcamp. FFS the artist isn’t even alive

The hopelessness of the Left. Avoid the too much global news, and become active in your local community. Make a difference to those in your vicinity. Local activism has never been more important. Choose what matters to you and go for it.

@moodynann looked into this as I’ve had this problem and using Safari. Turns out you need to turn off cross-site tacking in Safari settings for YT embeds to work, or maybe try Chrome

Bernie Sanders is someone I never used to take that seriously, but recently my admiration for him has gone through the roof because he is almost singlehandedly taking the fight to Tr*mp. And not by sharing memes on the internet but actually getting out there, going deep into red country and addressing packed crowds, talking about economics and class issues that people can relate to. There’s a lesson for the UK and Europe there too.

Admittedly ive not paid close attention in recent weeks but do the Democrats have a strategy and/or a solid opponent lined up for the next election?

There is a very strong chance there won’t be an election.

As an occasional observer of american politics, it look like they have neither. They’re playing by the rules of an older, different game to Trump and they’re getting their arses handed to them. It’s too early for a credible opponent to be lined up yet, but those in the running are not doing themselves any favours at the moment.

I dont think theyd get away with no election at all. A rigged one, sure. Its possible they already have in fact.
I think they fucked up allowing Hilary Clinton to run in 2016 rather than Sanders.

If he gets the military on side with the gun lobby then who knows what will happen. He did tell a rally that it was the last time they would have to do it.
I live in an area filled to the brim with military men who are all being called up and deployed in the Middle East and they’re pissed. There’s a reason why all of these guys are trying to get personal security. The military does not respect trump in the slightest.

I feel like Sanders was the president that the rest of the world wanted, but in a country like the USA, he was never going to be a chance. Too left wing/polarising. All but the most progressive Americans wouldn’t be able to stomach what he was going to bring.
The US has always looked for a capitalist as a leader and now they have that in spades.
Where in the middle east?
This may have been raised as an issue on here at some time or another, but why is it that almost without fail, the guys who ask for photos of records via FB marketplace or on Discogs NEVER go through with the sale, even when the record and cover are clearly a NM copy?
I’m at a point now when somebody asks for photos on a record that’s less than $50 of just saying no thanks and leaving it at that.

Is that @TimIndulge looking for the record with a Toucan on the label?

Ever tried pasting a pic into Discogs search box?
When i was selling regularly on there it got to a point where id just ignore the messages because theyre either time wasters or the sort of buyer that will always find fault with whatever you send them.
On a few occasions i did reply explaining the seller feedback + item grading is there for a reason and if they werent sure about it then probably best they didnt buy it.
Also, people asking questions + haggling after placing the order are the worst!
