Blackadder: "Criminal record..."
Baldrick: "Absolutely not."
Blackadder: "Oh come on, Baldrick, you're going to be an MP for god's sake. I'll just put fraud... and sexual... deviancy.
Minimum bribe level?"
@katie_dey I know it.
Had something similar frequently as a young child. Occasionally happens still, in my 40s.
I think I tried to articulate it once but noone knew what I was talking about.
Did you find any of it intimidating?
@dysinger I've heard this kind of thing described as performative nihilism?
Something like that.
"Lol hurting all of us is funny because those guys don't like it roflz"
@BpdLion I remember the argument being made when the Hunying ban was first likely to go ahead c25(?) years ago.
You'd have thought they'd stopped breeding them by now.
@booberrycat1222 I don't think I'm an outlier in being the kind of driver who *doesn't drive their car into or at obstacles in front of me particularly not human-fuckin-beings*.
@RealMelValentin@lesliemeans@billyjarrettugh Am I missing something?
Poirot was scarred on the upper lip - it was a feature of The Big Four (1927).
Not as significant as what they did in DotN with Branagh but still.
@UtubeRood Oh, you know - hadn’t considered that.
At the end of the day - patience wins out. We’re all trying to get somewhere, no use fighting the ‘right or dead’ battle. Tis the season, eh?
When I was 13
I was watching porn at 3am on an old Samsung tablet
Suddenly half way through my endeavours
The screen freezes, it’s then completely covered by a pdf, locked onto the screen
PAY £100 IMMEDIATELY OR WE WILL SHOW EVERYONE.
I couldn’t turn it off, it was stuck. The volume buttons didn’t even work.
Being the retarded little kid I was, i panicked heavily, couldn’t sleep.
I was thinking of all the ways of how i could get £100. I even thought about robbing an old lady
I kept thinking about the information of me watching porn going to my parents
The shame, the most NGMI though at that age
Without any direction to go to. No one to get money from. I ended up telling my brother
He said bro it’s a scam.
And that was that.
All that stress for what amk
He just reseted the tablet and gg.
The moral of the story here is FEAR is the biggest control mechanism.
You’re LIMITING yourself by your fears.
No fear = no limits.
@RalphInUEFA@Jenny_1884 She's confusing "easier" with "easy".
I don't know why it's such a difficult concept for many.
It doesn't mean no-one had it tough then, and doesn't mean everyone has it tougher now.
TL; DR - a lack of empathy & an excess of main character syndrome.
I just walked out of my church ✝️, causing a big stir, during notices, which is before the final blessing and dismissal, so during the service, they had a member of the interfaith group stand up to thank Father Philip, Turkish refugee, doctor, no problem with that. Then he said he'd like to read some passages from the Quaran... too too much. I walked out. During our Mass. My Mass. My time each week to commune with God. In my way with other people who believe what I do.
Others agreed, and 2 others followed. And the interfaith Christian ladies came outside to talk to me and said that they agreed too it was too far.. I was shaking and emotional.
Still am. I've been invited to the next interfaith meeting to put my feelings to this guy. I'll go.
I've given the ladies my number.
I'm still shaking, I'm proud of myself, though. I feel like William Tyndale who stood up in church before the Reformation and read the bible in English, 'In the beginning was the word and the word was with God' he was burned for heresy but changed everything.
Just having tea on England's Lane.
Still shaking x
Should we stop pandering to certain religions and place Christmas Trees 🎄 and decorations wherever we want and not worry about offending anyone at Christmas time
Yes or No?
@lukerobertblack@likesretirement All this is sounding very much like the individual in question has made poor life decisions.
Isn't that a talking point of "the right"?
If you can't afford to live somewhere, move.
If you can't afford to have kids, don't have them.
If your job doesn't pay enough, get another.
@AlexWensleydale Alas, I never attended even the one that local to me.
Made up for it by going to several RHLSTP and numerous AIOTM including the last one.
Good cumpkin times.
@AlexWensleydale I've only ever done one, and it was near the end of the original run. I went back to the start & even at the time it was surprising what was in the news & I'd forgotten.
That was 2011? It'd be another world now.
Might need to give it a go.
