Good morning Skywalkers! Happy fucking Halloween. Hope you got some spooky plans tonight, like a romantic walk through the cemetery, or staying up late watching spooky movies. Whatever you do, just be safe out there, lots of weirdos out tonight. Cheers 🍻

I'm a man in my late 30s, shorter than average, slightly overweight, my job doesn't pay much, and I have never had a problem with attracting women. These online incels spread nonsense for attention/money. To young lads reading: just be kind, wash, ask questions. Trust me, you'll be fine.

Similar but subtly different British translations
1.
“Anyway, I won’t keep you any longer”
Translation: I’m going to walk away from you now because I want to go.
2.
“Anyway, don’t let me keep you any longer”
Translation: I have to stay here, so I can’t walk away, but I want YOU to walk away.

You know a Brit’s really mad when they beg your pardon, then suggest something may have escaped your attention, before apologising for being close to losing their patience. Upon reaching boiling point, there’s a chance they’ll issue the killer blow of offering you their regards.

Happy 4th of July. It is a huge day in history! The British began to occupy Paris in 1815 after their victory at Waterloo. And the Americans have kindly celebrated it ever since.
