Angry lesbian here, in my experience the majority of men are decent humans and would never feel the need to chirp in with “not all men” because they already know we are not talking about them. Same logic applies to Cis, straight and white.

Shopping trolly problem. There are no rules or laws that say you have to put your shopping trolly in the bay, there are no signs anywhere and there is nothing stopping you from just leaving it in the parking spot next to your car. But the vast majority of people do take the time and energy to put it back where it belongs for absolutely no personal gain at all.

The kind of person who just leaves it anywhere is the reason why we invented rules and laws.

What is it with trolleys and problems? Ban all trolleys imo

When the trolley thing comes up I often see retail workers posting, "Hell yeah I loving love putting the trolleys back in the bays, it gets me out of the shop and away from customers for a bit."

I'd still put it back though. It just feels hosed up not to.

Until you leave your house key in the trolley. I guess you can get those thingies that are just for the trolley, but I don't want to be a person who carries around 20 keys and tools on a big ring

Launching the trolley back into the bay is great. Always puts me in mind of an astronaut jumping in zero G between two shuttles. Only the initial push to give direction and the float towards the destination fuelled by hope. The price of failure: disaster.

As if Waitrose don’t have the quid too. I might have to go to the one near me and see for myself. That might be my weekend activity.

The people who should be rounded up and shot are the ones that throw the trolley in the bay and then it rolls back out again into nearby cars while they walk off.

I think so. Sheerness not only has trolley deposits, but Tesco has security tagged the baskets. The big Sainsburies (and M&S) up the road in Gilligham has free range trolleys.

Hitting a good curve shot into the trolley shed accounting for a wonky wheel is what I can only assume winning Olympic gold feels like.

Yeah I don't think it's all manufactured but I do think some of it is cynical.
Talking about 6pm curfews for all men and crazy things that just start arguments for the news to push.

And it helps to push the "did the cops know? (almost certainly)" into the long grass

I hope something good will come of it but I kinda just think it's gonna be another big national argument with no political impact other than the country continues lurching rightwards.

I think this is the take except that it isn't manufactured or cynical, it's just honest idiocy. Jones is pretty emblematic of Green higher ups, it's so obviously true that men are significantly more violent than women that if you spent a few hours reading studies you might well daydream about an evening, perhaps once a month, where it is only women and men stay home, but then anyone with half a brain would realise how ridiculous and unworkable that is but still, the idea right!?

"Curfews for men" even taken tongue in cheek, even delivered in the Lords not the Commons, absolutely just materially helped Police organisations get off the hook, it achieved absolutely nothing except ensuring culture war bilge would cover all discussion of the Everard case. It's virtue signalling while actively hurting the chances of any meaningful positive reform happening, Green Party leadership writ large.

BTW I finished that game I mentioned before, Breathedge. I had a lot of fun even though the game clearly accelerates after the initial portions where you could only be in space for a minute at a time before suffocating compared to the later game where you can basically free float without a fuckin' care and then never go into space outside of your spaceship again.

Thanks for reminding me to check this out!

I really hope the police for once exercise a modicum of restraint in regards to the protests tomorrow. I’m genuinely worried for those attending, full solidarity to them. Who am I kidding though, we’ll get the usual heavy handed authoritarian bullshit. gently caress the pigs. Scum, every last one of them.

The Sainsbury's near me doesn't seem to require the poonds because the apartments here are always loving littered with them in the stairwells and outside. They're the main source of consternation in the local Facebook group. I can see through the window that my neighbours have 2 of them inside their living room.

Either that or its cheap storage furniture for £1 a pop and a particular aesthetic.

Hello, dear
yeah the houses around one of the places i work in all seem to have their own personal shopping trolley parked outside lol

i always go to the supermarket late and there's usually a bloke wrangling the abandoned ones at that time. he sings and talks loudly to himself. i wouldn't abandon a trolley unless i had an emergency phone call from a family member, or diarrhea

i like this trolley chat because they're a fascinating artefact if you think about it. I remember they played a large part in at least two of Terry Pratchett's books
