If as a cyclist I could only use cycle lanes I would not be able to get to work or even to leave my house. And I live in London, which has pretty good provision for cyclists.

Farage will be formalising our vassalage the instant he wins an election. I genuinely don't think recent events change his view here, he'd rather be scarfing down trump's turds than be part of a united European response to US aggression.

They do! Doesn't even cost extra (which seems mad). It's very funny and totally worth it imo.

I was first driving at a time when GPS was available but the preserve of wealthy nerds. Used to love going for a drive with a 3 year old road atlas, finding out they'd added two roundabouts and ending up both lost and in near relationship-ending arguments.

Yeah, there's no difference between state assets equitably distributed to benefit the population and state assets captured and owned by the ruler and a small clique of his allies. None at all! This guy is legit smrt.

I saw someone describe this as people not understanding boredom and I think that must be it. They're playing games they're bored of and have turned that into a personality instead of exploring the huge world of novel games that you can buy for almost no money.

Erstwhile - always saw it used in reference to someone who'd been well-established and successful so thought that's what it meant.

Every time I hear the president of the USA speak I can't believe it's real life. Surely I must have been trapped in a sinister otherworld by the fae folk.

That toolbox is great and speaks to me in a weird way. Now I want to see a very small black and decker workbench or a tiny Stanley knife.

WSB is famous for having some of the world's stupidest money-owners as members. Plenty of the community are smart, but some are very much the opposite. Go and look at some of the all time top posts to see some very interesting trades...

People who talk like this just cannot ever have met anyone whose parents are immigrants. Turns out living in a place is a huge cultural influence! This sort of nonsense boils my blood.

It's not anxiety, I just don't feel safe unless I'm endlessly performing ocular patdowns

I fucking hate how easily people pretend that ADHD doesn't exist. Or that we're making it up for drugs. I mean yeah, I get legal speed but I have to deal with having fucking ADHD! It's not a good trade imo.

If I didn't want people to think I'd done a nazi salute, I simply would not repeatedly perform a gesture that looked very much like a nazi salute.

I am interested to know what, if anything, would make you think it was one.

An opinion I hear somewhat frequently from other union members is "if we can work remotely, our jobs can be off-shored."

Using the gratitude of the dispossessed to boost his birthday ego...smh

It's just a lot harder to hate rich people who shut the fuck up and enjoy it instead of inflicting themselves on the rest of us.

With the amount of power apparently at Greenlandic fingertips it's a wonder they're not proposing to annexe the United States.

How is "pro-vaccine" doctor even a thing? Such a weird framing, like saying someone is a pro-gravity physicist.

On a Pratchett theme, I'm pretty sure Susan Sto-Helit would be A-OK too. Just another supernatural inconvenience for her to deal with.

Up to £30 feels fair but I get a little bit sadder as the price increases.

If tickets are around £15 or less I'd generally buy at least one extra and find someone to go with. That's a good 'take a punt' price imo.
