E: 30 is the number of times NAN99 will read this post before giving up The key to reading tweets is to start at the top, unless it's a reply with an image in which case you start at the bottom and then skip to the top and end in the middle, or if it's a reply with an image to a post with an image then you start with the bottom image, then read the post above it, then skip to the top and read that top image and then the tweet. E2: rearranged this post for a bit of practice. NotJustANumber99 posted:quoting this to add an extra level of not being able to understand it

Venty rant incoming. This sounds like a kids these days post but isn’t. Last 15 years or so I’ve been getting the same bus as the college kids, and they mostly sit there on phones head down, if one starts acting like a twat they are generally self policing. Not this year, ohh ho gently caress no. It’s like being on a bus with 13 year olds, and these are 16-20 year old students - lads on the back seat screaming and shouting at 7:45 in the loving morning, and downstairs it’s malicious gobby cows who don’t draw breath for the talking the entire trip. Yesterday in McDonald’s upstairs group of younger lads who came in and sat next to us were acting like little animals, to the point they pushed me off my seat while play fighting, and I had to tell them to calm down. Then they started with the f word and the c word and rape talk over and over again and I had to step in again and tell them to pack it in in front of all the small kiddies. That was the point the actual crazy older lad in corner unfolded himself and really had a go before being asked to leave. That was the point they shat themselves and shut up. None of these kids are dangerous or violent, it’s just they simply don’t know how to act in public, those 13 year olds would have been in lockdown since they were 11 and the college kids missed out on being the year 11s on the back of the bus. Idk what the solution is here, but bus drivers and staff telling them to shut the gently caress up/grassing them to schools or parents would be a start. /end rant

There was a problem with kids being raised by tablet/phone before the whole pandemic but now it's more widespread and a lot of kids sadly spent a bunch of the last year and a half being raised by a marketing algorithm run for capital and curated by fascists My younger lad is in year 7 and in his words "some kids talk exactly like youtube videos and streamers do". Device addiction/compulsion is a really massive problem among kids but a larger problem is that adults are equally addicted and manipulated in the same way. Government and media are controlled by the same folk making profit off the algorithm, so it's just going to get worse as the general rate of collapse increases like everything else seems to

Having the tablet entertain the child instead of them. Personally, if my son wants to play, then I'm helping him build that block tower, or making the wooden train route. I may be shattered, but I believe it will be better for him in the long run. stev posted:It's this generation's 'tears in rain' speech. I'm not so sure.

I feel for conflicted Newcastle fans after Ross County hired noted racist homophobe Malky Mackay this summer. Which is handy coz a local non-league team just moved to play about 10 minutes walk from my door so I've just started watching them. They aren't very good but it's free and the manager isn't a oval office

Sig separator is "-- " and the space is essential as otherwise it breaks message readers and sig strippers. Also sigs should be restricted to 4x80 characters unless group rules permit them to be larger. Twitter does it that way because it's poo poo. Right or wrong doesn't enter into it.

Not really sure where else to ask so hoping someone here can offer some advice. There was some kind of fire last night in this building, in the flat below mine. Fire brigade turned up and dealt with it, myself and the other residents in the building weren't impacted and didn't have to leave our flats or anything. Building sure smells of smoke this morning though! The people whose flat the fire was in aren't talking about it so no idea what happened or how, or if there had been any potential damage to parts of the building structure or outside of that flat. They're housing association tenants, I think, they definitely don't own the property. I'm renting the flat I'm in so only have contents insurance, and I honestly wasn't sure if a fire within a different flat in this building is something I need to tell my insurer for their awareness or if it's just the landlord I should tell since they're the ones who will have building insurance. Nothing of mine was damaged, but just not sure whether telling my own insurer is even needed since its contents only.

As a general rule, inform your landlord of anything you think affects the envelope of the building. “Hi, just to let you know, there was a fire in the block in flat X, Fire Brigade have cleared us as OK to be in the building” Everything after that is for them to deal with, and part of renting is not having to follow up on any of the other poo poo.

Lot of chat about the euromillions at work today. Keep meaning to remember to win that If one hypothetically did come into a hundred million quid what would be the best way to use it for the benefit of the most people? Part of me feels as though the most efficient way would be to have a WhatsApp number or something that's just 'text me whatever you need paying and I'll sort it no questions asked'. But then it's open to Mr snrub types so you'd need them to provide proof and then you're still holding your money over people's heads Could you set up some sort of sex ghost foundation for good lads and lasses but since I'm very stupid and don't understand the investments required to keep the fund going I would require outside help and that would turn it into every other lovely charity that works to enrich itself You could theoretically set up some sort of political action group but that feels a bit lib dem 'just vote!' for my tastes Is the answer really just driving around Mario balotelli style and just handing out notes to people on the street

It's playing within the rules of a lovely system but anything else is too, and at least this builds up a group of people for whom another way is possible. Alternatively genetically engineer an algae that can make cocaine and undermine one of the major circular routes of corrupt shadow capital, but you may end up tragically shooting yourself from the building across the road.

Ring the by-election bell, I suppose. Probably uncontested? Not that it'll matter, it's a very safe seat.

I mean if you're talking about changing the country for better "buy the Daily Mail" and subtly turning into a propaganda tool for socialism would be good.

My plan if I won the lottery, which would be weird given that i have never played it and don't intend to start, was just to give it to everyone I know (except the people I know who already have enough money) and then just find random people to give it to until have like, i dunno a few hundred thousand or something left which would keep me going for the rest of my life probably.
