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

  • How much have you got spare?

    Not for me, though, just interested. I'm 6'2" and it's about perfect I think, probably wouldn't swap it for any other height. I'm tall enough to reach the top shelves of pretty much everything, hit the cancel button on our smoke alarm, see over people at gigs and things, but not so tall that I have problems with fitting into things too often.

  • First, they came for the trans people* and I did nothing because I am not trans.Then they came for the immigrants and I did nothing because I am not an immigrant.Then they came for women's rights and I did nothing because I am not a woman.Then they came for the... wait, what? Hold up!


    They came really hard for the trans people. Like strangely hard. Like they had some kind of fixation.

  • The only way to stop a bad guy with some porn...

  • You are "DOOM!"

    Can't you read? It's right there.

  • Bonfire Night is really just not that big a deal over here. I'd happily bet you one shiny new pence piece that he's in the US today.

  • Surely you mean pic-a-nic basket?

  • That poor bastard yak (or whatever) wandered into the wrong canyon that day.

  • Cheetahs don't have retractable claws, therefore dog.

  • I feel kink-shamed by some of these comments. I love watching a bald-headed linesman. Mmm. Nnnnnrgh!

  • Amazeballs!

  • I think i win when the other person starts resorting to insults at least

    Bell end.

  • If it's a school zone you leave 10 school bus lengths.

  • Do you think if the electoral college was banned that criminals would give up theirs? Wake up, the only thing that stops a bad guy with an electoral college is a good guy with an electoral college!

  • I mean I have a tiny bit of respect for Beardy McNazi in the back there, not afraid to show his facist face. A tiny bit. Maybe an iota.

  • Although it’s not really possible to eat pizza without rawdoggin it.

    Unless you use a fork and knife like a heathen

    I have my butler cut up my pizza for me with a pizza knife and a pizza fork. And then I have my nanny feed it to me. "Here comes the train to the tunnel, choo-choo!"

  • Whoever has been left as its leadership is a dumbass.

    Not in the slightest. More likely their annual bonus depends on boosting revenue right now. So they're incentivised to generate short term increases in revenue but not for longer term. Plus, also, if/when Youtube goes tits up they'll just get a different CEOing job (with "increased revenue by 25% in 2024 on their resume") rinse and repeat.

  • Kind of my point. We gained ecommerce, streaming services, platforms such as this one, online gaming, mapping services, and others - at the cost of the freedoms for which people are nostalgic. And now we have ads, personalization, tracking, and inevitable enshitification.

  • Back in the days of the wild frontier things were chaotic, anarchic, violent, and unconstrained.

    Then came the churches, then came the schoolsThen came the lawyers, then came the rulesThen came the trains and the trucks with their loadsAnd the dirty old track was the Telegraph Road

    And now we're all fenced in, regulated, allowed to wander only in approved lanes... oh, wait, sorry, we're talking about the internet, not real life!

  • Me. Sigh.
