If you can come up with a definition of "social media" which includes all current social media but excludes BBSes, Usenet and web forums I'm all ears.

Yes mate, social media is when its piss easy and everyone and their grandma is doing it not just some nerds. Thats what the car analogy was supposed to be about.

Mate, Usenet was social media. It would not surprise me if it came into existence before you did.

Maybe you should read this thread first

^^^ Could anyone, for instance, do it on their bus ride back then?

You're being weirdly superior about it all, so fine whatever you say is social media is social media.

- what's the difference, exactly, between Usenet and Twitter? Lay it out for us.

Regarding your edit, I refer you to my previous suggestion.

Just out of curiosity, how old are you? Were you around and an adult for when Usenet was a thing, as in like mid-late 90s?

If not, I suggest you clam down and listen to your elders who were, in fact, around for this poo poo.

This is a really cringey post.

It's pretty obvious that you can do it from your Tesla, because reading your posting ITT is like watching a car crash.

I'm finding this phrase of people saying "We've been taken for mugs" and similar thoughts a bit weird. Surely "taken for mugs" implies you have been duped into doing something stupid. But those taking the covid precautions were not doing anything stupid, so they weren't mugs.

If you are doing something that is right, but someone else doesn't do it / appreciate it etc, it doesn't make you a mug.

If you let a loved one die without seeing them because the rules were so impossibly immutable that they could never be broken.. then this... then yeah you feel a fool.

I mean i'm not a driver, but is the problem not that the cars aren't slowing down enough?

objects remain the same size no matter their speed. except like i dunno concorde or whatever, so no it can't possibly be that

if anything they should be going faster to minimise their time in the narrow bit thus reducing the chance of collision.

My mum used to say "I don't do politics", yet she used to volunteer as a poll clerk for the electoral commission, used to be a member of the local Conservative club, digested all the far right opinions over the decade and VOTED TORY IN EVERY ELECTION.

But she doesn't do politics, like....

TBF that is a bit different to most people that dont do politics, they're just kind of politically inert (?) then probably vote tory whereas she was fully an actual tory , i dunno, activist? seems wrong to use that terminology.

Me mam worked for the nhs her whole life but would always have voted tory because of her upbringing and father and friends. The first time she didnt was for corbyn in her 60s but you'll all probably consider her a FBPE worth only for the wall

its the queens post? VVV so presumably shes in line for a telling off

Yes, the helicopter, along with maintenance is funded by the charity. As, presumably, are the salaries of the paramedics and doctors seconded to the service.

Because god forbid politicians ever actually pay for something useful out of taxes

I own part of that chopper, or maybe the elephant house at Colchester zoo, they didn't specify which
