Phantom Menace isn't that bad. There, I said it.
I've been a Star Wars fan all my life so I know what I'm doing.

Nothing makes me sadder than seeing conspiracy theorists asking really interesting science questions rhetorically.
We could actually have a fascinating conversation about it with a real scientist if you're curiosity hadn't been hammered out of you and replaced with combative ignorance.

It's been 2 months and I was completely wrong about this.
Apparently I can do basic algebra until I see a negative sign and then my brain just falls out.

As far as I can tell, it's a bit like music theory so far. Stuff like energy transfer is pretty simple and intuitive the same way that chord structures and scales are if you play the piano, but the terminology and correct wording is the hard part.

These AI movie trailers are driving me insane. That Peaky Blinders one almost had me until about 20 seconds in.

Sometimes it's a shame to be an atheist. I'd love to believe there was a hell for people who watch tiktoks at full volume on the bus.

When this is all over, I want to see a new version of the West Wing about the poor bastards whose job it is to do damage control every time he does something insane.

I refuse to be lectured on the dangers of mercury in vaccines by someone who drinks hydrogen and puts chlorine on their french fries.

Being overwhelmed and scared away from new casual hobbies by incessant advertising is a great reason to stay off Facebook.
I made the mistake of posting that I was attending my first D&D game a few weeks ago. Now I'm just being bombarded.

The antivaxx thing is getting really old now. We need a new one.
Apparently, 99% of car accidents are caused by the rising prices of tinned soup. Alcohol and guardrails don't even exist. 5g chemtrail bats etc.
Ask China. China knows. Do your own googling.

I don't think I ever fully appreciated how weird it is to see TV ads that are really inappropriate to the show they're breaking before we started streaming everything.
Going straight from Handmaid's Tale to an ad for Taskmaster is just bizarre.

Anyone else feel like we're now at the point where paranoia about complete societal collapse has become common sense?
We've joked about having apocalypse go-bags for years but yesterday I actually packed one...

Why do I always open the fucking comments section? It's 11.30pm, I was ready to sleep like 5 minutes ago, now I'm just having imaginary arguments with a mad antivaxxer who lives in my head.
At this point I'm just mainlining anxiety like a speedball. Someone take my phone and bury it in the yard.

Gotta let people get this ridiculous flag thing out of their system or they're just going to bitch about being oppressed.
Heard someone in the pub the other night say "well, we're not allowed to fly the British flag anymore"
Like, mate they're everywhere and nobody's taking them down. Think.

I'm never a fan of good shows being prematurely cancelled, but I love to see the writers get enough notice to go HARD on the finale.
Thanks, Code Black. It's been a ride.

Yes I'm a 33 year old man learning GCSE level science on BBC Bitesize because I didn't pay attention in school and I'm tired of being stupid.

Loved Limitless season 2. The man is a shining example to all of us.
I can't imagine why young boys would idolise pathetic idiots like Andrew Tate as a role model when men like Chris Hemsworth exist.

Well congrats to Swift and Kelce. It's not something I'm particularly fussed about but it's nice to have some news that doesn't make me want to run for the mountains and spend the rest of my days chopping firewood and fixing an old motorbike.

Thought I lived in a pretty sensible area. Walked home from work today and there's UJ's and George flags up on every lamppost in the street.
God dammit, lads, tone it back a bit.
