Look, you get born, you keep your head down, and then you die. If you're lucky.

  • I actively enjoy being a polite and considerate driver.

    If you’re not in a 2024+ Tesla there’s every chance I’ll let you out, buddy. I use my turn signals every damned time. On country roads I leave a big gap between me and the vehicle in front in case someone wants to overtake and needs to pull in. I move to the side of the lane when motorbikes are coming up from behind me and make sure to leave space for them to pull in too. I let trucks out if one’s trying to overtake another. If someone’s tailgating me, I pull over and let them past, imagining they’re a bomb disposal tech heading to a school for blind orphans to save those poor kids. “God speed, you crazy bomb whisperer!”

    Life is good.

  • It's a caaaaaaaaaaaat.

  • Post-Brexit Britain

  • Serve your Mac and Cheese alongside a green leaf salad with a simple, home-made vinaigrette dressing. The vinaigrette will give you the acid you need without risking breaking your sauce.

  • Poker with special jokers and special forces snipers.

  • Nothing so thrilling as a purple wisp. More like a lumpy, grey ooze.

  • Ennui.

  • Grew up in Galloway. It's the rest of you who are accenting wrong.

  • Fourth, the corporate team’s decision making is bad enough to be harmful / fatal in and of itself. It’s sheer luck they’ve done as well as they have this long. Corporate is not only the worst enemy of users and communities, they’re also their own worst enemy. It’s so bad that if one of them was a competitor or adversary that had infiltrated the company in a covert operation to destroy it or gum it up, you wouldn’t be able to tell the difference.

    Nah, they just had different goals to what you thought they had.

    Did they, personally, make fuck-you-money out of reddit?

    Yes, they did.

  • Nah, man, it clashes with PervoSpecs Con.

  • Pookie for one of you, Snookums for the other. I’m not going to tell you which way round the names go; you have to work some of this shit out for yourself.

  • Went on an internet date about 2004. I got there early, making to make sure I was wearing the same stuff as in my profile photo so she would recognise me.

    She turned up, took one look at me, and said: "Oh. No."

    Then she left.

    Ah well. Obviously it bothered me at the time but I can look back and chuckle now.

  • That just looks like a pickup truck.

  • Yeah. Everyone I know who’s owned one loves them. But they’re not pretty.

  • My grandfathers, uncles, and dad all married for life, outlived their wives, then died of grief within a couple of years.

    Yet when I repeatedly tell my wife I’ll see her put in the cold ground before I cark it, this vexes her for some reason.

  • I give you the Fiat Multipla.

  • Bold of you to assume I do keep working on it. Very bold, indeed!
