The UKMT Fudge Baron


Whole load of September goon birthdays (my 41st is on the 13th)- guess a whole load of our parents decided to bone down during the Christmas holidays.

And personally I found turning 40 to be super easy. 30 was a bloody nightmare; I broke up with my then girlfriend, had an emotional collapse and drove the wrong way around the A406 from Leytonstone to Walthamstow to a friend’s house before smoking bad chemicals and writing a terrible song. My 40th I celebrated in my lovely house in the country with my wife and a load of friends I’d not seen since pre-lockdown, cooked an enormous amount of roast beef and salad and drank nearly a bottle of scotch.

It’s also weird. Throughout my 30s people pegged my age as ten years younger than reality, but around 39 (coincidentally when I started really noticing the white hairs in my beard) I suddenly got hit with a decade of aging in a few months.

Re: feral kids.

When I was young there were twins that would try and bully other kids. They beat one boy pretty badly so that boy's father went round the twins house and gave their dad a bit of a beating telling him to get his kids under control or he'd get more of the same. Some of the bullying stemmed off and they moved away about a year later. Not sure how effective the parenting was as one twin OD and another spent a lot of time in and out of prison.

Had something similar in my town.
Two brothers, father was a drug dealer forced out of their last town, and mother a Vicky Pollard who ditched the kids every chance she got.
The kids stole from shops, beat up all kids smaller than themselves, and if you said anything to them the parents would be around accusing you that you attacked them.
So they got away with a lot of poo poo over the years.
Elder one is in prison now for following his fathers footsteps, and gave his girlfriend a lethal dose of heroin.
Younger one was diagnosed with anger issues, but never got it treated and is heavily into steroids fighting anyone and everyone still over minor things.

I'm not a fascist. I'm a priest. Fascists dress up in black and tell people what to do.
This seems to be prevalent in societies with less welfare and more inequality. Which IMO is the root cause. Also why it's annoying when old conservatives comaplain about violent youths and vandalism, when they made society that way in the first place by voting conservative.

Yeah, this is why I criticise myself about the inner authoritarian because the solution is a better society rather than just punishing the symptoms and not curing the disease.

Yes & no. But as very few things posted in this thread actually have much to do with the immortal science, I'd not really worry. Yes, there's something a little Tweetman about her, she's definitely a Twitter Character of the Day, but she's also a centrist who yelled about leftist anti-semitism & it turns out that she believes in a very clear anti-semitic conspiracy theory & that's quite funny.

It's OK if you don't care. Every post doesn't have to be for you. Or me. It's fine.

What if we did internationalism without any class consciousness? Why is the 21st century fight just reheated 19th century appeals to fairness? Has history ended yet guys?

Perhaps we can find the dialectical materialism by looking at spaces entirely devoid of it, in the same way that many of the elements were discovered. That's scientific socialism! :eng101:

She's far more prevalent on Tiktok, where she does 'takedowns' of political stuff by calling them cromulent fuckcrustables in an irritating voice. Absolutely no attempt at proposing something better or any kind of solution, just dedicates her entire day to going 'I can't believe they've done this' at tories with absolutely no understanding of how or why these things keep happening.

If you're finding yourself assuming any kind of sympathy from looking at her profile pic, I'd recommend dipping briefly into her tiktok for context. Not only does she have terminal middle aged white person on tiktok disease, her entire shtick is rage and bile, and then gets upset and defensive when people turn the same on her, only with good cause.

She got into a fight with babble (a good leftist) over it and came out of it having decided that because the left were mean to her, the entire political ideology has to be written off and they're all antisemitic unfortunately.

I wouldn't call it 'terminally' online, but it is certainly a very online problem.
