  • No, I’m not telling you that. I’m telling you that your plan is exactly the plan of the ones trying to destroy Palestine. That’s why they bankrolled the creation of Hamas, and supported and financed it even into the 2020s. And there’s quite some evidence they also let Oct 7 happen so they could have the perfect excuse to carry out everything we’ve seen these last three years.

    So what is really the plan you’re suggesting? They attack and what? Are you saying they’re gonna win in an armed conflict against Israel? How?




  • I’m from one of the listed countries and I’ve seen people, some of them minors, end up much worse than the lad in the picture from an ‘encounter’ with our very own police, whose wages are stolen from our work, who work for the people doing this investigations. The victims had to pay fines and/or do community work, the pigs got out scotch-free, maybe even a short paid (by us) vacation. So yes, you are right, these politicians, judges, prosecutors… don’t have much interest in punishing any torture at all, or they’ll start at home, they’re just posturing.











  • Spain doesn’t have death penalty at all, not just for words. But it has penalties for ‘terrorism apology’, and the Spanish government has asked for extraditions for much milder tweets than ‘[terrorist organisation] did nothing wrong’, not alleged, the tweet’s there.

    I didn’t say I would hang him, or that he deserves to die. But getting more into the bad side of the USA has tangible consequences for the poor people down here, not just for the multi-millionaire yanks playing revolutionary. My sympathy and empathy are finite, already spread quite thin for the former, so there’s not much left for the latter.

    I’m not usually that transactional, when they denied the USA the use of bases and air space I was pleasantly surprised, and all in favour no matter the consequences, making it even a tiny little bit harder to bomb kids is absolutely worthy. But for this rich dude? Idk there seems to be a threshold above which I don’t care anymore about anyone richer.


  • My first thought was ‘come on Pedrito, tell them to pound sand’. But then I read the article and looked this Fergie feller up, and let’s say I’m not a fan of rich fuckers, silky hands ‘communists’ that haven’t worked a day in their lives. So, Spain already being in the eyesight of Bibi and Trump, it might be better not to get into more trouble for this wanker and let them hang him. After all he did said that ‘Hamas did nothing wrong’ a few days after Oct7, so own your words and the consequences.






  • I used a 10mm masonry bit to drill for a 10mm plastic anchor like that pictured. The anchor spins freely in the hole, which I think is expected.

    First mistake. For crumbly material you should use a 9.5 or a 9. The plug should fit tightly, as tight as possible while still getting in with some gentle hits with the butt of the screwdriver or even a hammer.

    The screws are alright, I guess. For a 10mm plug, you’d use 5-7mm screws (read the instructions on the packaging, sometimes on the plug itself). It should be at least a bit longer than the plug, and the hole a bit deeper than the screw length.

    Now there might be a solution to the hole too wide. You need to get the screw a bit screwed in, as it gets in the plug will spread and hold to the wall. If you can do it with the plug out of the wall it’ll be easier, depending on what you’re fixing to the wall and how, once it opened a little and it’s a tight fit, hit them all together (with any braces or whatever that needs to be with the screw) into the hole until the plug is flush with the wall, screw it all the way in, and then tighten it. If you cannot and you have to do it with it in the wall, another trick is to try screwing in the screw with fast, short bursts (hand screwdriver or electric / power drill). If the plug don’t even have enough grip for this and it keeps spinning in the hole, try to keep it from moving with the tip of a small flat screw driver or electrician scissors, once the screw is going in it’ll start to hold by itself.

    The part where you tighten it after the screw is all the way in is important. This makes the screw pull from the end/middle of the plug and deforms it, shaping it to the hole so it gets a proper hold.

    The problem is worsened by the fact that as I screw, the anchor is coming out by about 5mm. So it’s even shallower than when I start screwing.

    (update 2)

    Now I see why I cannot get the anchor to be flush with the brick: I only drilled the hole deep enough for the anchor to be flush with the plaster layer.

    The plug doesn’t need to be flush with the brick, you can see that part of the plug is completely flat and smooth, and doesn’t make anything for support or grip, is there because of the plaster. The hole needs to be deep enough for the screw tho, or it will push the plug out.
