@Aimeee they're nae reptiles, dinnae have scales, they're amphibians. As a Frenchman I'm offended by your lack of seriousness on this topic.

Everything after 1740 was a waste of time, change my mind.

New music?

You'd yell at her for choosing the lake district " This wouldn't 'av bloody 'append with an albatross!"

The fourth Industrial revolution. I might just spin round on an office chair many many times.


A quick hez hez

Surely I can count on you, Italians (anyone welcome though).

Tell me all accounts - sweet and savoury.

I'm curious

All the best.

I was once spit roasting some hikers (in all senses of the term) over a fire when a small deer ran round the corner and kicked me between the legs. This is a fairly normal occurrence but just as I was about to serve the meal so to speak my best m8 returned from his widdle with a couple of officers so not only do I now have to share a cell with the witness (who likes to pull the look I had on my face to other inmates as revenge for the time I ate his pudding when he went to the toilet) but my shame has been immortalised in the soon to be old men of the village.

I'm sort of addicted to it thanks to its past glories partly owed to its novelty to me at the time and due to the fact it's simply an easy way to procrastinate or escape (though increasingly less immersive). I remember less than 10 years ago people were more generally open to chatting, and social media sites/ places like omegle hadn't degenerated into the shitholes they are now. Do you remember a time when it was normal to regularly chat to strangers of the same sex for the sake of conversation? Conversation seems largely about exacting gratification for its own sake rather than as a by product of mutually beneficial, mentally stimulating interactions.
The internet is a great tool, but one that reflects its times naturally, and frankly they seem rather stagnant. We seem to be increasingly disposed to imposing arbitrary moral values on others, creating staunch, whimsical rules by which we condemn them. We don't seem to try to reach mutual understanding and learn from each other but use the internet to further entrench division from our insufferably sanctimonious camps. As it's becoming normalised it's difficult to view times before all this mess and wonder if it's a recollection through rose tinted glasses. I just hope the spark of optimism (perhaps blind faith) that things can return to some semblance of sanity and reasonably healthy social compromises (or debate) doesn't die, though it's looking grim. The internet is full to the brim with lazy thinking. It's not that I take issue with people's core beliefs per se (I'm hardly a genius myself), it's not even that I take issue with them being upset or irrational, it's the fact they're so unwilling to even entertain other beliefs/ treat them as logical consequences of a multitude of events instead of something to be crushed according to some moral dichotomy. Now I understand there's always been ideological dogma, but to be told by people championing inclusivity that you're unsalvageably damaged (in effect what being called evil means) for what (they think) you believe in is such a stroke of backward, religiously minded thinking that I can't help but feel we've hardly come a long way at all to being open minded. In short, the internet best represents us as a species which to my mind therefore reflects unnegotiable failings in parenting and education. There's obviously enough hope left in me to even entertain typing such a post, but it's probably approaching its death throes. There's still easy access to tonnes of music though, which is no feat to overlook. Anyway, my life does seem to be more and more leaning towards finding a way to be left alone in peace than be pro-social, and the internet's main value is now acquiring materials for hobbies. This is a drunken rant so please forgive the discrepancies.

@MadMen It's a classic choice. Particularly if the ice cream has so many pistachios in it essentially tastes like a pistachio with the texture of ice-cream.

Pretending liking all the stuff basically 100% of everyone else likes for more or less the same reasons is somehow an inexorable part of my individuality. Playing up the most mundane interests as if they're irrefutable proof I'm a zany, edgy but also grounded guy. I won't explicitly ask for anyone's attention but if I act sassy and try to remind them that I'm so self assured, maybe in misguided respect or admiration they'll respond to the cheap bait I leave on many many posts I use to promote myself under the guise of discussing serious topics where I can use other people's authority to bolster my moral righteousness or 'exciting posts' where I can pretend I give a damn about anyone else's feelings and sate their insecurities to maintain a constant narrative of my concerns for communal wellbeing, and to have a degree of power that helps me ignore my own weakness. Ok maybe I just get obsessed over how self indulgent people are or the online personas they attempt to present... Which is in itself pretty self indulgent. Ah that's it, my favourite thing is catch 22! (P.S this is not an attack on you Janet, I know you don't fit the above. Just an old man's ramblings).

The 3 kings would've said 'rite guess u wnt be needing these then u spoilt litl scrub', and he wouldn't have smelled nice, or have any bling, so nobody would have listened to him. The Romans wouldn't have been scared of him so he'd end up at his mum's playing xbox and eating potato smileys with beans for the rest of his days.

SCAG--ED

What a pitiful sight.

@Indrid-Cold not sure. how do you think he keeps his trim figure?
