Somewhere along the way the media world got flipped on its head. Is he just writing bullshit and suing people now for a living. Guess he's gotta earn somehow. Funny though, as silly me thought he moved to Merica to stay out the public eye, he's never been in it so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the penny dropped that he was going to be in the papers every day regardless so should be making some money out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthony Posted June 7, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted June 7, 2023 Have to create a screensaver for a client. Simple enough, until I come to do it, then find that none of the software out there actually works. Key is that it displays on multiple monitors. So I choose software that does that. Except it doesn't work. Have been on this for two day solid now, and for various reasons. NONE of the (so far 9) software packages I've tried work properly.

You may love him or you may hate him, but don't for one second believe that the press aren't lying through their teeth. I have very detailed knowledge of the original hacking trial back in 2013 when I received daily first hand reports of everything that happened in court. Nothing, absolutely nothing Harry is alleging is surprising to me. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing, absolutely nothing Harry is alleging is surprising to me. I find it disappointing but completely unsurprising that people's opinions of the trial and of whether the press are guilty, or even about how it has affected Harry are almost entirely dependent upon their opinions of Harry. This is the genius of the press that he's up against. That same press have managed to demonise him and people don't realise how much their opinions of Harry have been affected by that same demon narrative that has now caused this, at best, indifference which is now prejudicing their views of this trial. Scary stuff. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCJonah Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 If you're choosing to side with the right wing gutter press then you might want to consider your choices. It's not a good look. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's pretty right wing media and all the papers that hammer Harry and convince people to hate him are right wing media. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthony Posted June 7, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted June 7, 2023 They're all culpable. They're all so terrified, and he's so vilified by them because he has absolutely zero need to settle out of court. His motivation is twofold; to protect Meghan and to expose their wrongdoing. If he wins, and the evidence he's presenting is the same evidence that has caused them all to settle out of court *hundreds* of time at a total cost of more than £1bn, then their whole existence is threatened. All their previous defences of 'nothing to see here', 'nothing proven in court', 'just doing our job', 'in the public interest', 'nothing illegal'; all of this is absolute crap. They operate above the law, in their own interest and only in their own interest. To understand their behaviour, think of when a narcissist is called out on their behaviour and how they react. Only this time the person calling them out will not back down, will not be intimidated and will pursue and expose them to his last breath. The press see his actions as an existential threat. And they are right to. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes I look at these and think they're taking the piss, but not so much here. He played 37 out of his 600 odd career games for us, with a maximum of 18 games in a season for us. He wasn't a significant player for us, and we weren't a particularly significant team in his career. If anyone is pissed off, it should be Portsmouth fans being overlooked for Southampton when he played twice as many games for Pompey.

They want more employees to be aware of and get involved with some of their social programs, so every unused screen will be a big repeating advert.

(Built-in on ChromeOS) How dare you! It's not shitty Windows. It's wobbly Windows. Anyway, maybe. I'd think so, but I don't know enough about a) Windows management tools generally, and b) whatever their setup is specifically. I do know that they think they can't do it, and with the deadline as it is, that's kind of all that counts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
