Hello world.

I’m @ocb70 on Xitter, where I bonk vatniks, support Ukraine, annoy MAGAts, hang out with atheists + fellow neurodivergents, & enjoy silly (especially British) humour.

Oh, and like reading interesting history & science stuff.
Cleaning it is a “pleasure” - there is zero way to clean vomit from a ceiling without chunks of dried puke landing on your face.

Why sprogs vomited on ceiling - they had “captain beds”, meaning their bed was close to ceiling with desk etc below.

I’ve found sprog vomit behind radiators, which tbh is one of the *worst*. You *have* to clean it ASAP otherwise the vomit will slowly cook & stink, & baked on vomit takes 10x longer to clean off

One of the funniest scenes of my life was sprog #2, feeling poorly in our bed, suddenly vomit on my wife. It was so violent her hair got blown back with the force of vomit.

As a human I feel bad for finding that funny, but as an exhausted father I found that fucking hilarious.

lol - as a Belgian.

Some Irish have romantic ideas about neutrality-but would be *screaming* for the UK to defend them if Russia turned up with a fishing boat & 2 drunken marines in Dublin.

Not Ukrainian, but have a wife who is *exactly* the same.

Had young kids who vomited all night all over walls & ceiling (& fluffy toys), scraping puke from duvets at 2am.

Next morning- wife asks “did you sleep well?” 😭

I’m from Scotland…that’s not the flex you think it is 🤣

Autocorrect always says that Higgs discovered the Large Hard-on Collector.

Which, tbh - makes us all giggle.

I’ve heard of WWII Jews who returned home to France, to then live next door again to the cunt that sent the Gestapo against them. 😳

As someone said “I have neighbours I wouldn’t say where Anne Frank lived”

It’s fascism, pure & simple. Folks are afraid to call it what it is.

Don’t

I’m just saddened that some “locals” have such little respect for the reasons that foreigners came & fought - and died - to liberate Belgium tho.

We can’t expect every generation to understand perfectly, but at least understand “a bit” that folks came & died to liberate you from fascism.

My grandparents were born 1900 in Scotland, saw so much. I’ve been here 25 years,now Belgian.

I was gobsmacked when I saw VB politicians give the Nazi salute over the graves of SS, ffs-2 entire generations of Brits died in Belgium.

I had 2 aunts who never married as all the lads had been killed.

Michael Moore had an episode of TV Nation where he challenged various CEO to “come and” IIRC

He challenged Bill Gates to format a floppy disk, no show.

The chief of GM did actually come down & change the oil in a light truck - so it’s not a total flex.

I live in Flanders, have amazing neighbours- many who are old enough to have been around during WWII.

The cunts who arrived in our village who marched..had never been here before, never came again.

Just marched under the flag & made noise. My neighbours fucking hated them.

Get a bunch of others behind it & I’ll do it. I’ve tried community movements before & nobody gave a shit

Proceedings to ban Fox from being shown in the EU, for calling itself “news” when it’s not
November 14, 2025 at 12:58 PM
I’m all up for asking the EU to ban Fox for *not* being News.

In Europe, we actually have standards about when you can or can’t call yourself “news”

Fox is clearly NOT news.

It’s “entertainment”

Get a few folks behind me as motivation & I’ll kick off a legal proceeding

I live a stone throw’s distance from where Degrelle regularly spent time, he was Francophone.

1940s priest from my (Catholic) church died in a concentration camp for helping Jewish kids escape…

Had Far Right VB skinheads march pass my house during a protest.

So yeah,just a tad sensitive to that
November 14, 2025 at 12:51 PM
Alas, the ball would need to be far larger to “bear” the weight & react with equal+opposite force.

Yeah, I know - I’ll get my (lab) coat…
November 14, 2025 at 12:44 PM
no, you can’t easily de-toxify the cyber-space that kids inhabit. You do *not* have that power. Wish we could from a neuro developmental POV.

Best educate kids from young age to understand the health impacts, frame like “cancer for the brain”. Self-regulation is the only option IMHO
November 14, 2025 at 12:36 PM
You’d need to ban under 18s from playing the likes of Fortnite & Roblox & all other online games as well, as they’re *also* social media to some extent.

You’d have to ban the use of Discord.

That becomes highly oppressive,therefore worse than useless.

Better educate kids to self-regulate.

Btw, Ken Clarke *clearly* never was into football, cricket or rugby - where tens of thousands of random strangers regularly insult tens of thousands of other random strangers.
November 14, 2025 at 12:27 PM
I’d tend to agree tbh, based on the relevant research.

My macro view is at least social media is potentially 2-way,whereas the likes of TikTok are “screen heroine for kids”.

I studied a degree in Psychology,esp neurobiology-today’s environment is ultra toxic to adolescent brains. Inescapable 😢

It would be remiss of me to NOT say that obviously, the First Nation natives spoke their own languages for thousands of years before Europeans arrived & engaged in wholesale genocide.

Again - “truth hurts”

I have teenage kids - was a Chief Scout for 450+ kids so “get” it better than many.

When my oldest was on 3 day hike, their way of “swapping telephone numbers” amongst their age group was “gimme your Insta”. Girls especially used it to see how “popular” my son was…

Ken is a fossil.
