That's the thing with THESE PEOPLE... They make out as if they want to be free from some evil tyranny and are fighting for the greater good, but ultimately everything is just about getting their own way, facing no consequences and getting stuff for free.

100%, it's loving maddening.

You can tell because the second you show them a real injustice (which they invariably have never experienced themselves) they couldn't give less of a poo poo or frankly consider it a good thing

I don't know how old timey people could bear to put a bunch of grease or whatever in their hair

I've worn modern-style hair gel maybe twice in my life and it was awful enough already

It's absolutely not better at predicting anything than anyone, it's a bunch of hypochondriacs and worried well reporting every tickle in their throat as a covid symptom and the fact it's completely disinterested in the result of any subsequent test makes the "data" they collect worthless, particularly given the nasty cold that's also going around.

It *may* have been able to give a couple of days advance warning of regional spread in the early days when testing was pretty much only once you were in hospital, but now every household in the country has access to instant at-home testing. Its numbers are so far out of whack with the official ones that it'd have to be a moon-landing-level government coverup (or evidence that the vaccines are wildly more succesful than anyone even dreamed) for them to be correct.

well that's not what they say ;)

Why did they do this? It makes no sense, even if there was a by election the tories would win it at a canter.

An ex-friend of mine always used to say that he found it really weird that every time someone talks or writes about Dave Grohl his name is always appended with "he's such a nice guy!" "nicest guy in rock!" etc., etc., and that the sheer consistency of it is really sus, he took that as reason enough to prophylactically despise him, and his band

So I dunno, maybe gently caress the foo fighters

And while I'm sure anyone could be a nonce I don't really see the need to like...assume it of a bloke even if he is frequently accused of being suspiciously genial.

Yay I have Covid. Looking forward to ten days by myself in the flat! That's what you get for working a job that mandates three days a week in the office with a constantly revolving roster of people in or out because they've had a positive result.

Tested positive on a random PCR on Saturday, but still negative on the lateral flow tests today. Here's hoping to an asymptomatic recovery!
