Dog owners 2 most used phrases:

"Oh don't worry he's just being friendly, he doesn't bite"

and

"oh my god He's never done that before!!!"

What’s your alternative suggestion? I’m sorry if my extremely tame, literally never nipped or growled at anyone in her life, 8 year old Labrador coming up to give you a sniff scares you, genuinely, but that’s life. Sometimes you’ll have to go through things you don’t love because society can’t be expected to adapt to every single fear people have.

I've never run anyone over while drink driving, so I should be allowed to do it and if that scares you that's your problem.

sadly bad owners either don’t realise they are or don’t care, which is where the problems happen

I think it's the same with most things. If someone tells you they're a great driver while driving it's almost certain they've nearly gotten you killed about 5 times.

"I'm the only person here who knows how to do their job" = I'm a massive pain in the arse everyone hates working with who does f all.

Russell is chasing people around at venues so he can bite them on the face on multiple occasions.That is a poo poo ton of enabling fucks need a kicking alongside the rapist, Russell Brand.

The little Britain live show just had a character whos bit was being a pervy old tv host who'd sexually assaulted male audience members.

It's amazing what you can get away with in the name of comedy.

my best guess is that he means "slut" but misspoke. maybe he's a operated by a qwerty keyboard

I assumed he meant 'shagger' ( but then said 4 letters by mistake out of habit)

I wonder how the Sun's shagger of the year awards will recover from this.

I'm not really sure slapping a new name on socialism or feminism is 'trying something new'. It actually seems like a pretty cheap trick that's actually fairly insulting and only demonstrates you've lost the argument. i.e my ideas are so poo poo I actually have to con people (who it can be inferred I consider rubes).

Only having dishonesty left up your sleeve is a bad look!

And as we live in the era of 'woke HS2', even if you did come up with something new it'd just get called pinko commie woke bullshit anyway, so why degrade yourself.

I don't really understand this take. People like Tate, Peterson et al. are making an absolute killing and attracting sizable followings through deception and dishonesty. What does it matter if they have 'lost the argument'? Their ideas are poo poo, they are conning people, they are trading on lies...and? How can these people who are demonstrably doing the things you claim are just insulting and show they have lost the argument be carving swathes out of the young population?

I guess the question is do you consider self-degradation to be a more important goal than societal change? Because the answer to 'Why degrade yourself?' is that by taking a different approach you have the potential to change the lives of young people for the better.

Hey man, if you wanna hit the streets for 'manly man new way 2.0' that's secretly fem-soc or whatever go for it. The structures in place allow for right wingers to grift, I'm fairly certain any lefty doing it will be rounded on as a liar and hypocrite by the same structures pretty much instantly.

But hey maybe not I might be wrong and you could be the millionaire woke Andrew Tate that saves us.

I think it would. 68% of people want the railway nationalised. The thing stopping it isn't the public will, they seem very open to the idea.

They even put a party pledged to do it into government in 1997! We did the compromise, held up our end and it still didn't happen.

Don't really understand what Sunak gets out of being PM. Truss and Johnson seemed at least to want to exist in a position where action can be taken/seen to be taken. (Hilarious/disasterous actions usually but anyway...) Does Sunak actually want anything? He has more money than God and no apparent initiative or project. The big vision of this PM is that cars shouldn't go too slow and trains shouldn't go too fast.

Historically the idle rich take up little hobbies to kill time, gentlemen gardeners, farmers, scientists. Sadly for us Sunak has chosen 'World Leader' as his hobby.

I think they got too power mad and ascended from this plane of existence.

Wasn't it the the same person who re-appeared a few years later (ironically as an aggro Labour right-winger) .

I'm too lazy to search to confirm, but I'm hearing reports that his speech has already been leaked to the press :allears:

I really do think that Rishi is going to be forced out and Truss will carry us over into next year's GE. Absolutely loving crazy times.

Ladies and Gentlemen, Lock in your mortgage, Truss' is back!

Here are some of the policies that Labour have publicly committed to: Increasing income tax on the top 5% of earners. Abolishing Universal Credit and reforming the welfare system. Common ownership of public services.

Can I guarantee that they will deliver on all of these? No. But these policies are still much more appealing that the alternative hellscape offered by the demonstrable psychopaths in the Tory party.

If they don’t appeal to you, fine. But I ask again, what are you hoping for instead and how do we make that happen?

Hi, two of those policies have been formally dumped.

Someone I knew got scammed once, I repeatedly told him it was a scam and not to give his details. He called me an idiot for my troubles.

Later he was shocked to lose 500 quid and moaned to anyone who'd listen 'How could he have known' . It was very very hard not to throttle him.

Anyway, whens the 2024 General election.

Gotta say giving an Un-Ironic 'gotta give it to Hitler' the kid gloves is a very bad look.

Not to go all David Baddiel but pretty sure rhetoric like that aimed at another group would not just get a terse 'care to explain yourself'

some GPs are really lost for a good slap in my experience

GPs basically only hand out painkillers or Anti depressants. Actually practising medicine seems a tad beyond them these days.

Nothing quite like being told 'oh it should heal up in 6 weeks' for 8 months.
