It's fucking horrible.

I love how me enjoying a bit of sun has somehow translated to me being responsible for climate change and complacent in action against it.

This place gets worse by the day.

>>27239 was basically aimed at you.

Yeah, we get it. You're hanging around in the sun, with other people, and you're all enjoying it.
There are lots of people not enjoying it. You're not meeting them. I'm not sure if this is mid-tier trolling or I'm just hot & cranky.

It's very simple lads, if you enjoy the sun, you're a climate nazi and are complicit in the genocide of millions of blades of grass.

>>27240

I admire your passion, but honestly, even you don't seem to truly realise what a perilous time we are entering.

Britain is approaching what could almost be described as a tropical climate. Our natural plantlife and scant remaining forestation is already taking a hit. Our agricultural ecosystem will have to adapt, and wildlife will struggle to cope.

You need to wake up and see this for what it is. It's a plot by Big Suncream. They've been lobbying for and end to British weather for years, and they're within dangerous reach of making it a reality.

Hang on, the post I replied to has just vanished.

>I actually half suspect the entire social justice movement of being a CIA psy-op.

Didn't that actually happen with the Occupy Wall Street movement? I'm sure I read about it being infiltrated by intelligence agency plants who would halt progress by making every meeting descend into pointless bickering, proving more effective than they'd ever dreamed it would be. I mean read it somewhere proper, not just a 4chan screenshot.

As glib as it might sound, I think it's mostly just teenage rebellion.

When I was a kid, you could really outrage your dad by dyeing you hair green or listening to records with rude lyrics or going vegetarian. If you came home from university with a nose piercing or a tattoo, your mum might cry. If you really wanted to make your parents freak out, you could have a gay phase.

These days, most parents don't really give a shit about any of that stuff. If you're a student in 2018, your parents probably have tattoos and piercings of their own. When they say "music was better in my day", they might well be reminiscing about gurning their jaw off in Ibiza or climbing over the fence at Glastonbury. If they catch you with a bit of weed, there's a very real possibility that they'll ask you for a bit and start droning on about all the Thai stick and Lebanese black they used to smoke. I know a lot of women who would be delighted if their son turned out to be gay.

If you're a teenager with that innate teenage urge to rebel against your parents, what's left? Politics. Everyone gets riled up about politics. Social justice is perfect for this, especially if your parents are middle class liberals. By inventing a load of new minorities and new kinds of oppression, you get to be part of a special club of super good people who are fighting for the rights of oppressed minorities.

You get to be furious at your dad because he supports LGBT rights instead of LGBTQQIAAP+ rights. He's got no chance of keeping up with all the new pronouns because he's got better things to do than spend four hours a day on acrobat, so you'll always have something to throw in his face as proof that he's an old fogey. If you went the other way and joined the Young Conservatives, your parents would be ashamed of you; by going even further to the left of them, they have the niggling suspicion that maybe they should be ashamed of themselves.

>>27223

Agent provocateurs exist in just about every grassroots political movement. Even in my pokey Welsh hometown, a well known anarchist blogger wrote about a close friend who turned out to be a member of the South Wales Police. Even groups you imagine wouldn't be worth infiltrating and monitoring often are.

I can't remember which thread I posted in about breaking my hand the other day, but I've just come back from the fracture clinic where I thought they'd just take the strapping off and send me on my way with an admonishment to be more careful next time but no, not today. The actual radiologist looked at the scans and found two fractures in a completely different place than the nurse had told me and I'm now in an ulnar cast for the next 4 weeks. I've only hand the damn thing on for 2 hours and I already want it off. Ugh.

Intergal or, worse, intregal. How can the R even get that fucking far lost?

People doing things HALF-HAZARDLY pisses me off, and recently from becoming a pub landlord, people ordering a pint of AMSTREL does my melon in.

My girlfriend says 'Same as' instead of 'seeing as', which disturbs me greatly and I desperately want to know how the fuck she's gone almost thirty years without realising it's wrong, but I think the fact that I haven't tried to correct her is a testament to my love for her.

>>27084
I deliberately wind up my other half by telling her that an orange which has started to dry up has drunk itself. It gets her every single time.

>punishment for anything from selling drugs
... or at least doing so in competition with them. For a time in the early 80s most of the weed, coke and horse coming into the British Isles was passing through Shannon.

The 'Ra did some fairly horrific things, but even with funeral shootings or bus massacres, nothing quite compares to the proxy bombings. What do you do if you want to drop off a car bomb but can't get in to park? Why, you tie some poor fucker to the seat and strap their hands to the wheel and get them to deliver it for you, of course.

>>27041
Oh dear. Where to start...

They weren't controlling a population with "a campaign of palpable fear". The reality is that they had support and sympathy from the communities they operated out of. Insurgent groups which don't tend not to last.

As for "relatively disorganised", the British Army themselves called the provos:

>"a professional, dedicated, highly skilled and resilient force", while loyalist paramilitaries and other republican groups are described as "little more than a collection of gangsters".

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/northern_ireland/6276416.stm

The idea that anything like a significant portion of former PIRA volunteers are active in organised crime is false. The reason that PIRA went out with a bank robbery was to provide former volunteers with a pension, precisely so as to avoid them getting involved in criminality.

There is a gang "war" (more a feud, really, this isn't Baltimore) going on in Dublin at the moment, but neither of the two main gangs have anything to do with republicanism, past or present, and the death toll is far from "hundreds" (it's about 20 last I heard).

>>27041

Calling them 'gentlemen terrorists' is unfair to the people they've harmed and killed. For every fuck-off city centre wrecking bomb they phoned in to warn about there were proper awful acts they performed.
It's a concept that needs to die.

And fwiw I think the Loyalist groups were cunts too. The whole Northern Irish situation was such a barrel of shit.

Great post, particularly enjoyed the bit where you explained your point.

If we had any sense, we'd turn the country into Ye Olde Englande Theme Parke. The emerging Chinese middle class are eager to spunk all their hard-earned renminbi on Burberry coats and Twinings tea and they outnumber us ten to one. Norfolk can be the gift shop until it's consumed by rising sea levels. The East Coast Mainline is obviously beyond repair, so let's just rip it up and turn it into a sightseeing monorail.

We could really do with a spare Prince Philip - the Chinese love a bit of casual racism. Maybe Wills can have a go?

Could the whole breaking news shite about walking her down the aisle just an elaborately staged PR game?

It conveniently adds a bit of tragedy and sympathy to the woman and may help to propel her to the rank of 'The People's Princess' in the eyes of Daz and Janine Regular.

>>26862
A great bunch of lads.

I'm subscribed to a blog called "cabin porn". I understand.

Food porn seems more apt considering how disgustingly slobbery some people are about food, using words like "succulent". It still sounds unpleasant though.

Blame Reddit, they have an entire network of dozens of subreddits called the "SFW Porn Network" https://www.reddit.com/r/sfwpornnetwork/wiki/network , along things like 'Nature Porn' or 'Art Porn' there are some utterly bizarre things like 'Tea Porn', 'Police Porn' , 'Megalith Porn' and 'Things Cut In Half Porn'.

>>26795
>'Things Cut In Half Porn'

Back in the old days we just used to call this shit "snuff" and be done with it. Fucking kids.

Or is it Christopher Lee?

>>26110

If you've passed out, how do you know they're laughing at you?

>>26143

OOBE.

I thought "I fainted" also encompassed the lying down coming round part of the experience, especially if it's one of those very brief faints where you feel obligated to pop up and say "I'm fine", before you've recovered, and faint again. They might be quite justified in laughing in that case.

I haven't saved any pictures of this, because I didn't find it that striking, but I've been noticing lately how advertising people often seem to think that mixed race people only marry and produce kids with people the exact same mix/shade as themselves.

For example, there was a video advert, under a captcha, of a white boy and mixed race boy playing with Thomas the Tank Engine, then they grow up and at a wedding or something one gives the other a nostalgic/throwback gift of a Thomas the Tank Engine model (weird) then their sons, who looked like younger versions of themselves, were playing with Thomas the Tank Engine. I understand why the advertisers do it, to make it visually obvious who is the son of whom, but it gets me wondering about the statistics of how many mixed race people marry someone the exact same mix. I have been unable to find this advert on YouTube.

>>25824

I keep seeing ADVENTURE BEFORE DEMENTIA stickers when I'm out and about.

Well, at least you remember seeing them.

I've had "Call me Al" stuck in my head all day

I know what you mean - on the plus side, a lot of stuff is rescued and recycled that would have gotten chucked out. I've always been in two minds about it.

Also, it isn't the chabby chic per se, in my view, its the chabby-chic-with-new-pricetag attached that is the problem.

Maybe it's an attempt to harken back to the childhoods that used hand me down bedroom furniture, falling apart and adorned with past generations stickers.

Looks more gyppo chic than shabby chic.

>>25693

It also bothers me when people call these things "funky" on eBay, e.g., calling a bashed up old coffee table a "funky coffee table".

It spread to Caledonia and Wales during the migration period, followed by a thorough colonising of Brighton, New York, San Francisco and Sydney.
