We had a heated discussion on a local FB group about the kid drivers racing around the streets who do that rev up really fast and noisily thing and race round the streets at dusk practically knocking over little old ladies trying to cross the zebra crossing thoughtfully positioned immediately around a corner that drivers can't see around and therefore, naturally, slow down to turn round - ahem - or waking up tiny kids who had just got to sleep and so on. There were about 300 replies with people posting photos of the licence plates of the kid drivers who think noisy engines make them look big (along with smoking) and comments along the lines of 'we know who you are'. Eventually one of the kids identified - an 18 year old - posted that the reason he did it was because he had a small penis and the noise was to make up for it. (So of course everyone pressed 'like' or 'haha'). It did die down for some months afterwards. A couple of them did apologize and say they didn't realize how upsetting it was for people. Page snipe: good one for this thread. http://www.ilo.org/dyn/normlex/en/f?p=NORMLEXPUB:12100:0::NO::P12100_INSTRUMENT_ID:312232 quote:

The absolute biggest concern in the village I live in at the moment is how fast cars drive along the main road, and how loud they are. I've spent the last two community meetings pointing out to people that the things aren't connected - everyone drives too fast up and down this road, you just notice the loud ones because they're loud. My office window looks out onto the road and it seems literally every van/lorry driver is using their phone as they speed along. And don't get me started on people using two hands to put their seatbelt on as they drive away from the shop! What I'm saying is, a lot of drivers deserve to be dragged to the side of the road and shot - not just those in loud or rented cars - but this will appeal to some people.

I live on a main road in the centre of London so I just got use to phenomenal amounts of noise. I haven’t got used to hayfever tho! Horrible this year but the normal pills seem to be working when they didn’t the last four or so years. It’s mostly affecting my eyes and chest rather than nose tho. I used to get the Kenalog injection for it and it seems to be pure bottled magic - would have a nose dripping like a tap and a head full of congealed snot and within 50 minutes of getting the shot it would be completely clear. But of course it’s a big immunosuppressant so it has been completely withdrawn until COVID is “over”

I have lovely broken down Stagecoach double deckers going through the estate and past my window because people are too bone idle to walk down through the cut through on the main road.

We live in a country where people will throw a tantrum over the existence of the Brønsted-Lowry theory of acids when some prick throws drain cleaner at someone, and yet will call being asked nicely to wear a simple cloth mask during a pandemic that has killed over 800x as many people as every single mass shooting in the past 50 years (including all the ones that were part of the Troubles or were done by professionals) an act of intolerable oppression. Maybe Kieth is replicating tapping into the rich seam of petty bullshit that Saint Tonty did.

I had nuclear hayfever this year for a week or so and I was in a country without a pollen problem. I thought it could have been the delta variant. Negative antibody test so there's something very interesting going on there.

To all you hayfever sufferers, if you sting yourself a bit on the arm with nettles once a week it will completely stop you getting hayfever. This is definitely true because an old lady told me it. It will also very quickly make you immune to nettle stings, and that bit I can verify. Edit: Fun text from our childminder. Our two year old is going through a phase of asking what's a girl and what's a boy. "Daddy are you a girl or a boy? Is Gaggy a girl or a boy? Is the shop a girl or a boy? Is the sky a girl or a boy?". We've had some interesting discussions. Another parent has "raised concerns" about our daughters repeated insistence that "not everything has to be a girl or a boy, not even people." Imagine hearing three toddlers talking and feeling the need to "raise concerns" over it! Sanford fucked around with this message at 10:45 on Jun 25, 2021 |

French chairs and tables are female, arabic & german tables are female, but arabic & german chairs are male. A little girl (das Mädchen) in german is neuter. Figure that one out!

Jaeluni Asjil posted:French chairs and tables are female, arabic & german tables are female, but arabic & german chairs are male. The Greek words for 'boy' and 'girl' are also not gendered (despite not being diminutives), I think this may be because small children generally weren't really gendered in a cultural sense in many cultures but others can probably say more on that subject.

I don't want people to be thinking about sex and children at the same time, so I have no problem with them being neuter in speech. But if an adult wants to get jiggy with the furniture, who am I to tell them no? (As long as they're not trying to gently caress the chair while I'm sitting on it, anyway.)

I even remembered reading somewhere that the majority of high end sports cars you see are rental/lease. No idea if it's true but it's certainly very common.

I think that’s really nice and I’d encourage anyone struggling to do your cry for help in the ukmt rather than through any more destructive means. I’m okay btw, just having a very hard time.
