Definitely not! You should by no means serially upvote anybody. What you should do is stumble across Magisch's posts in the course of normal usage of the site, and upvote them after careful consideration of their merits.
 
I should have kept my trap shut until I was done with it

@Magisch Nah, people were just being generous
 
Magisch's question is on the HNQ, that's probably why it's going so fast.
 
It's a chat norm for someone to post ''aw shucks, I'm X rep left to Yk rep''
And get to Yk rep afterwards.
Maybe you should've gone for 20k

But do you really count on annoyed and probably overworked office workers in india that get their spam texts whole-cloth from their employers to come up with detection evasion schemes? Especially when it doesn't benefit them monetarily?
 
@M.A.R. They don't care. The paid for hire spammers only need to get a screenshot of their spam. Job done.
 
I they are waiting, building a little rep, and then will unleash the spam...

@DavidPostill those would be the unscrupulous ones, and their not being in direct contact with the actual distribution channel is what prevents them from learning

@Magisch I'm sure the feeling is mutual ;)
 
@DavidPostill I'm more saddened by that stance then anything else
It's like europe is trying to make britain suffer to make a point.
 
Yep. Both sides should be aiming to get the best deal and try to meet in the middle ...
 
or at least not cut your hands off to spite the face
the amount of people that say we should refuse trade deals and basicly blockade the british economy into complete degradation until they come back to europe is ridiculous

talking about wreaking havoc on a country for the sake of making a point.
 
3:12 PM
Having followed another election most of the year, I'm not well versed in EU politics, but isn't the point of "making Britain suffer" to prevent other countries from invoking Article 50?
 
@Andy right
for the benefit of france and germany
and some of the other rich EU countrys
greece could do well with leaving the EU right about now
In fact, keeping them in here is making them suffer horribly
 
How would leaving help? Don't they still have to pay back those loans from a year or two ago?
 
right
but they can devalue their currency and default on a lot of it like you do as a country when you're 10 meters deep in shit creek
the EU financial responsibility rules prevent them from restructuring
@Andy They're essentially trapped between a rock and a hard place. They can't get their economy going again because doing so would require a weaker currency (weaker currency = stronger and cheaper exports), they also can't default on the debt and get out of the choking situation with austerity (austerity causing companies to cut jobs which means less taxes which means even more enforced austerity). So they can't do anything atm besides yet more austerity
