Cats and dogs both make great pets for different reasons and I've got no particular preference.

Dont get the whole reptile/amphibian thing though. They are not attractive animals. Every person I've known to collect them has been a bit oddball.

Snake girl that had multicolored tattoos and piercings and sold weed, women that turned lesbian and ran off with her other reptile collecting lover and left one of my friends after 12 years and a teacher that ran off with one of his students.

It just seems that people who have pet reptiles are doing it to fill an otherwise gaping hole in their personalities.

No grown adult should give a gently caress if Captain Birdman gets blown up by the Hammerfist Ray God in the first 10 minutes of a Marvel film. Its a comic book movie, your enjoyment should come from the visual spectacle, if that's not enough to sustain your interest and instead you need to have the revelation that The Thundercunt and the Jackknobber had a kid to make your 3 hour cinema experience worthwhile then revealing these spoilers to you out of context and before the event is only going to make you a better person long-term.

Edit: do kids actually care about spoilers or do they just watch things and enjoy them for what they are?

Tattoos which the wearer can't see without looking im a mirror are lame.

Excessive amounts of tattoos dont make you an intersting person.

The best tattoos are subtle references.

I think the first time I ever saw a Clown in any context was the Stephen King movie when I was like 9 years old, it was on the same holiday to my cousins in Scotland where I played Resident Evil 2 for the first time, the whole clowns being creepy meme has real backbone.

Sucks man. I bought a sleep mask and it was the best 5 quid i ever spent. Never use an alarm either I can rely on my body to wake up when it needs too.

I've been gong to bed earlier and earlier this year and ill easily get 9.5 hours if i can.

Kinda sucks to spend so much of my time on this planet asleep but if there's 2 things i can't handle its lack of sleep and hangovers

It's because short tiny people tend to have really good back posture in order to maximize their height. So everything they do looks way too "tryhard" while a taller person slightly slouches and everything they do looks more casual and normal. Stop having such good posture.

Dota 2 ruined normal videogames for me because id rather come home after work and play a mediocre game of dota 2 for an hour than all the generic retreads of the open world formula which bores be too tears.

Dota is intersting, it has statistics and its challenging and each game is seperate. I dont need to come home and play days gone for 3 hours a night for a month because that sounds loving boring

I like the song Friday. I fully understand that it's an objectively bad song, but I'm not saying I like it "ironically" or anything. I just enjoy listening to it.

I like it but I don't know if its an ironic way. Its a dumb as hell song that I could have written and its poorly sung but its still really fun to jam on once in a while at the end of the working week. Its not gratuitously offensive and hard to listen to in the manner of a Cardi B song.

On the subject, I didn't like the movie Friday which I've heard a good few people recommend strongly, I watched it while i was stoned as well so that wasn't a factor, it just felt like nothing happened.

How bad is Pretty Little Liars? My daughter is obsessed at the moment and is trying to sell it to me as the kind of melodramatic stupid soap-y stuff I love to laugh at.

Its really shite. There's some overarching plot about a missing girl or something but I can't remember if it was vampires or witcher or mysticism or whatever because it was so unmemorable and bland. Every single scene is just 2 attractive people attempting to have a serious and dramatic conversation while sombre piano music plays over the top.

Smart phones are cool and having an internet browser, cd player and camera in your pocket is awesome.

People like to say its a major problem in society as if people didn't stare at newspapers in the 1920s. The problem isn't that humans have an online device they are obsessed with more than the real world. Its just a symptom of the real world being so drab in comparison.

I always liked tea, unsweetened no milk, but didn't drink it that often, coffee just packed more punch. Lately tho, working evening shift, I drink a lot of tea. Drinking coffee after 18:00 just feels wrong unless I plan to stay up all night for some reason.

Oh god yeah, just one coffee for breakfast in the morning and maybe take one in the vacumn flask for work but never any after mid day

Chewin' the Fat, as available on Yankee Netflix, owns, Scotland in general owns, their accents own especially hard and if their women are as perpetually-horny as media makes them out to be, that owns hardest of all.

While chewing the fat (and indeed Limmy) are 2 of the finest things my country has produced I wouldn't say our woman are known for being particularly horny. They do drink a lot if that explains it though.

Accents here are weird, i especially hate the stereotypical Glasgow accent which isn't sexually alluring at all, ladies from the Highlands have very sensual accents though
