It was the most tedious thing imaginable, except this post, because Jeremy could only ask of the enthusiast callers how to stop from going off at the first corner. It was explained to him multiple times that you have to press the thing in not too much and not too little.

But I think he s a performatively blank canvas, and great at it. I would push him off his penny farthing though thats where his actual personality seems to seep through, hes a particular type of juist asking questions troll

The main character in "The Butterfly Effect" is called Evan Treborn. He was originally going to be named Chris Treborn. Because his name would be a play on Christ Reborn and how he sacrifices his life to save others. There are a while lot of Gareths out there.

kecske posted:what are you doing in the bathroom that needs mains power When I was younger it would've been so I could have my tape player in the bathroom while I showered. Because the thing could run off batteries but it was something silly like 6 D batteries and it burned through them. Especially if you used fast forward or rewind. And I couldn't afford a constant supply of batteries when I was 9. Where as now, as a mature and clever adult what I'd like is a TV in the bathroom so I can watch the wrestling while doing a poo poo. Guavanaut posted:Behind the Bastards has been talking about GE CEO Jack Welch and how late capitalism turned from pretty poo poo to total poo poo, and the best summary of that is "but if I hold the button down the car will go faster!?" Green Day and Stiff Little Fingers are pretty similar though. Not identical or anything but it's the sort of differences which feel huge when you are in the weeds of a sub-genre but if you step back from that and look at it from a more normie view it's the narcissism of small differences. To me the differences between Napalm Death and Slipknot are massive but that's because I've spent 25 years listening to this poo poo to point where even the difference between death metal era At The Gates and melodic death metal era of At The Gates (essentially everything before Terminal Spirit Disease and TSD onwards) is vast.

Today I was up the high street and saw an absolute oval office quad biking on the pavement and then going in between the lanes of traffic. They go on well past midnight advertising their tiny dicks to the entire neighbourhood, it's driving me loving insane. What the hell do I do here If the cops don't give a poo poo then I dunno, unless you want to buy caltrops.

In my case it's to have a full power dehumidifier in there to stop black mold because the extractor died and the half vent window sucks poo poo for ventilation. And the solution is to put an actual socket in there, but in a way that is no more likely to kill me than an equivalent bathroom socket in the heathen backwaters of France or Austria.

Introduced no-fault divorce, at home abortion, furlough, the conversion therapy ban, and floated the idea of cannabis legalization. Boris Johnson may be the most socially progressive PM in my lifetime, and that is a disgrace.

For a moment I thought it was about whistle blowers for corrupt and failing defence contracts - fascinating. But no, it's "ufo - aliens are here" garbage. Go watch some Mick West debunks instead.

Near as I could tell, his military career consisted of training locals to ride motorbikes in India and violently shifting himself from dysentery for the entire duration of his stay in Burma. So, more or less harmless (especially considering how war-crimey those two theatres were), but not exactly a stirring tale of martial heroism.
