I bought a few junk vinyls just because I really like the texture. I was touching one on the tube home and my friend told me later I was causing visible distress to the man opposite.
What?

That was a great read, thank you for sharing that. My apologies to the man who suffered acute psychological lacerations, I’m about to cause one more by shamelessly stealing that line for my own use (my ancestors were also colonised by the English, so it’s okay. I think?).
Offensive to lemons and fans of lemons.
It’s definitely Bill Gates with his 5g microchips!
Same, I think it was 2 weeks for me, right at the end of year 8, because my dad got cheap tickets to Barbados for me and my sister (we have family there). This was back in 97. He just told the teacher I’d be off school until after the summer holidays and that was all.
One thing I’ve learnt from my 15 minute cycle commute is to assume everyone on the road is an idiot.
Drivers: happy to kill you for a second off their journey time.
Cyclists: same, as well as thinking red lights don’t apply to them. They’re happy to kill both themselves and their fellow cyclists and pedestrians.
Pedestrians: have a death wish. You don’t need to look if you can’t hear an engine.
I was on a bus once when they were still constructing the cycle superhighway in my area (a waste of time since it’s just full of pedestrians), and despite the warning signs saying narrow lane, don’t overtake cyclists, the driver couldn’t be bothered to wait and ploughed right into the guy, he went flying. And the driver didn’t even stop until a full bus stop later.
Nah, not necessarily. I’m 40 and meant to be doing prep study for the Cytech exam and I’ve watched a grand total of one tutorial video, but I’ve put in almost 100 hours on Euro Truck Sim 2.
The amount of times I’ve had bus drivers not able to wait 2 seconds for me to pass the bus stop, and then pull in, almost pushing me into the kerb. I really need to get a helmet cam. Black cab drivers can be bad offenders too.

That. Is. A. Disgrace!
Beautiful. Looks like Reform split the right wing vote and cost her the seat. Even more beautiful!
Now I need to look up if Badenoch lost hers too.
Edit: dang.
I got Little Miss Naughty too. Maybe everyone is Little Miss Naughty.
Little Miss Contrary.
We got a similar flyer. My area is a Labour safe seat, 70%+ for Labour last time, Tories barely scraping double digits and Lib Dems at 7% , yet the flyer claims Labour support is going down, and only the Lib Dems can stop them. I think the Labour bar was actually in the negative? I’ll see if it’s still floating around.
Found it:
Edit again: even the independent got more votes than the tory. Lib Dem got even less. Green took a lot of Labour votes to come second, probably because of Gaza.
Strangely, I got my letter saying my “postal vote forms will arrive soon” two days after I received the postal vote forms. I got confused for a moment there!
Props to Ranty, too.
Most of the big names in the flerf community are grifters, for sure. But many of the people who follow them are genuine believers. I have a relative who’s a die-hard flerfer.
Sheeps and Neeps was a small time flerfer who literally died because his conspiracy theory beliefs about cancer treatment, and there was that guy who went up in a rocket and came down in pieces. So some of them really do believe it. In my relative’s case, he went through a lot of trauma, flerfers give him a sense of belonging and something to hold onto.
My fella found this talk useful. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=gnSEbLX94Tk He used to smoke the mild stuff (low THC), but it’s the cigarettes he’s been struggling with. He’s on his third attempt, but after using the technique (TL;DW: your brain doesn’t understand negative commands, replace it with a positive command. Instead of “I need a joint”, try “I need air” or “I need clarity” or whatever feeling you’re aiming for) he’s feeling a lot more positive that he’ll stick with it this time. I tried to get him to read the Allen Carr stuff, but he’s not much of a reader. Other people swear by it though. It’s available on a certain library beginning with z if you want to give it a taster. Also learning a new skill can give you the same dopamine hit that your addiction does, so take up a hobby, learn a language, etc.
Good luck!
I read that in Jixuan’s voice.
