I hate it when I'm trying to locate a thread in catalogue mode only to realise its author attached an image that's of no relevance whatsoever.

This picture is a lot prettier though.

Excellent.

I'm really glad my successful MK II 101 thread came to a close, it was really getting unwieldy.

I'll start off with a family thing. Having to speak to people who I dislike at best because reasons. If it was up to me, I wouldn't talk to this person ever again but it has to be done. I just hate trying to think of things to say to someone who I have nothing in common with just because we're related.

I have this issue at work, there are some pillocks I can't muster the energy to talk to. And they can't seem to get the hint. Fuck off and leave me to my work.

The rise of using the word populist negatively to mean something that is in the interests of most people but you personally disagree with it. Because everyone else is stoopid and I want to show I'm superior to them, amirite?

Just press "last 50 posts", that Mk II thread is a historical document. Alright, whatever.

>>17302

>everyone else is stoopid and I want to show I'm superior to them

That always holds true for me, and I never say "populist".

My m8s girlfriend uses tumblr a lot and it leaks into realworld conversations. I'm an art grad so I'm fairly used to people with particular political habits, but it's like I'm walking on a knife-edge here. Well easy to piss her off.

I'd deliberately wind her up. I do this with any of my mates who think wanting to reduce immigration makes someone a racist and they always fall for it.

What the hell could Bez tell me about the British economy that I didn't already know?

Hell, I know a man who is Bez. The only difference between the man I know and the actual Bez, is that the man I know wasn't in the Happy Mondays, and Bez was barely in the Happy Mondays himself!

You think you have it bad, my mother was a right bitch to me earlier when I traipsed round her house at her invitation to have dinner, when she could clearly see that I'm carrying what appears to be a chest infection, whooping cough and bubonic plague all at once. What happened to the cool flannels on my forehead? What happened to the soft words and "oh sweetums I know your throat is a hurty wurty but we'll go to the zoo on Saturday if you're feeling better"? This woman was meant to have birthed me.

What a cow.

Bez followed me on twitter briefly. I don't know why. I never followed him and I have an egg avatar and have never tweeted anything. Then he unfollowed me.

People who have an issue with breastfeeding.

I just like, totally do not understand what the problem is. I can't even begin to comprehend it. Maybe I'm stirring up a hornets nest, but it's just one of those things that are on another level to my entire consciousness. Thinking about it is akin to trying to understand the dreams of a bee.

>>17336
I posted this in the previous thread >>17081.

I don't have any issues with breastfeeding whatsoever, but it annoys me that a lot of the women you see complaining in the news that they were asked to be discreet seem to be the 'me! me! me!' types that are completely wrapped up in their own importance and are afflicted with the need to share everything about their lives.

>>17337

Are they? How on Earth can you tell that from a brief news spot? And how does that matter? If the shittiest, most teeth grindingly annoying woman wants to breastfeed her child, what difference does it make?

>>17336
>Thinking about it is akin to trying to understand the dreams of a bee.

What a lovely way to put it.

>>17336

It's a strange issue. On the one hand it's perfectly normal and people shouldn't be offended by it, but on the other hand it's not unreasonable for women to expect some people to be uncomfortable with it. Most of the women who are very vocal about the problem, seem to be the type of people who are going out of their way to annoy people.

A while ago there was that woman who had a photo of her sitting on a kerb on a high-street, eating a gregs sausage roll and breastfeeding, that was posted up on facebook with something like "lol tramp" as the caption. To be fair, she'd have looked like a tramp even if she wasn't breastfeeding a baby. (Although it's still an incredibly shitty thing for anyone to post a photo of a stranger up on facebook with an insult like that in any situation)

>>17336 Women who act like it's equivalent to the equal rights movements of the 60s in the deep south of America.

>>17338
Like I said, I don't really care about breastfeeding. It could be any issue that they're complaining in the news about really, I just don't like the increasingly widespread need to overshare and inflated sense of self worth.

>>17341

It definitely has parallels, you'd have to be being deliberately obtuse not to see them.

>>17343
Parallels, yes. But the same magnitude? no.

Being asked not to leave your tits hanging out in the middle of a restaurant, is not quite as severe an abuse of human rights as that.

>>17340

I for one am outraged at the possibility of seeing a tit. Can't imagine anything worse. Horrible, awful things, absolutely sickening. I once saw a tit in 1992 and I've never been the same since.

>>17345
I know, it's awful. I saw a copy of the Sun in a newsagents once, it messed me up so badly that I need to look at cocks everyday or I start getting nightmares.

Which is another thing, women are asking to ban page 3 in the Sun to protect their children, at the same time they're asking to be allowed to get their tits out in public for their children. Such hypocrisy.

Someone's left a pasty in the kitchen and I don't know whose it is, or why it's there but if it's still there by nine I'm eating it.

Call the rozzers, I don't give a fuck.

>>17344

But he never said that, you spaz. He said parallels, he never said it was the same thing. Stop going on like he did.

>>17346
>Which is another thing, women are asking to ban page 3 in the Sun to protect their children, at the same time they're asking to be allowed to get their tits out in public for their children.

You can guarantee they'll be whipping their tits out in front of their kids when the breastapo arrange their inevitable mass feed-in at Claridges and all the poor siblings get dragged along.

>>17347
>But he never said that, you spaz. He said parallels, he never said it was the same thing. Stop going on like he did.

I didn't say he did. You're the one making a big deal of it, you silly sausage.

>>17345
I saw a whole bunch of them at the office Christmas party earlier. I honestly don't think I'll ever recover.

You know that feeling when you're tanked on Stella and have been doing double nos balloons at a party where you know no one and everyone seems so much younger than you and you're crying on the way home because you just hope your ex is happy after wasting two years of your life on them.

Yeah, fuck that feeling.

>>17348
Well that was unsurprising:
http://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2014/dec/06/mothers-breastfeed-claridges-cover-up-protest-hotel-nurse-in

>>17352
I was just about to post that. Right on cue the breastapo are out, protesting for their right to have no sense of decorum and show no consideration for those around them.

>>17352
>Clare Mariscal, 36, carried a banner which read: “That’s what breasts are for, stupid.”
Now personally I don't have any issue with women breastfeeding in restaurants or whatever, but this really is a fucking stupid argument. There are two things that my dick is "for" and if I did either of them in the middle of a restaurant I'm pretty sure Clare would be less than impressed.

>>17354

A restaurant is a place for eating. Breastfeeding in a restaurant is exactly as appropriate as pissing in a toilet.

>>17355
I can't help but feel you're taking the piss.

>>17355
Children should not be in restaurants in the first place, especially not somewhere like Claridges.

Well I'm not allowed to bring other food into a restaurant. Let alone if I was eating it with my dick out.

>>17346
I'm going to assume you're not trolling and are just too obtuse to understand the distinction. Breasts on Page 3 are sexualised and there for titillation. Breasts in the mouths of babies are not sexualised and are there to feed the babies. It's not hypocrisy to decry the first breasts and support the second breasts; it's giving back to women the choice of when where and why they can get their tits out, which they are currently denied as in Claridges etc.

>>17359
I know it's hard to portray sarcasm on the internet, but I thought it was pretty obvious there.

>>17359
So you saw this:
>I saw a copy of the Sun in a newsagents once, it messed me up so badly that I need to look at cocks everyday or I start getting nightmares.
and your response was:
>I'm going to assume you're not trolling
Honest question, are you intoxicated?

>>17361
I wasn't addressing that bit of the post though.

>maybe I'm stirring up a hornets nest

I am rarely so accurate.

(A good day to you Sir!)

There's a guy in one of my uni classes who doesn't stop talking during lectures. It's been 3 months and there's never been a lecture without him chatting. Usually about the football too. Doesn't even whisper.

I want to smack him in the face. He's already been shushed once to which he ignored and kept chatting.

>>17364
Tell your lecturer that you're unable to concentrate due to this individual.

>>17364
Send him a threatening letter.

>>17366

This. Or, you could do what a guy in my human structure and function lecture did and turn around and ball them out in such resounding fashion that everyone cheered.

>>17364
There's a guy in my lectures who usually feels the need to shout out some unfunny joke, like he's the class clown in year 7.

>>17368
>ball

Bawl.

>>17370

Umm, where does it say they were playing cricket?

#sillypost

>>17366
I'm a course rep so I could probably tell them there's a disruptive student in the class and the lecturer should intervene at my next meeting. Though the next meeting is in February.

>>17370

That is a shamerfur brindspot, I shall commit seppuku immediatery.

I hate it when people don't stack things in the washing up bowl properly, e.g. from the bottom up: a bowl, big plate, small pan, big plate, bowl with spoon in it, small plate balanced precariously thereon etc.
Grinds my semi-autismal gears it does, even seeing someone wash up without organisinvthe bowl properly gets me going.

The really pretty lady with really big boobs on Pointless isn't going to win, so she's not going to jump up and down with excitement.

>>17374
What's worse is when someone leaves a sharp knife in the bottom.

>>17375
I was going to insult her for her unfamiliarity with Radio 4, but to do so seems silly when most respondents to the Pointless survey failed either to recognise the United States' flag or name its currency. That has to be massively divergent from a representative sample of the general adult population, right?

>>17378

Overestimation of the general populace is all too easy, sadly.

>>17376
Exactly my point, it's a complete pot luck plunging your hands into the warm suds with some people, after they've left something to soak for a while. Yes, I do bother to help with washing up things because a clean cooking space is pretty much vital, usually to no personal benefit because the sadsacks I live with can't be arsed to fucking do it themselves. They whinge about washing up not being done if I don't do it. Alas, this is another story for the shit flatmates thread.

Also, sorry for the typo, I was on my tablet earlier.

>>17379

Sadly, people are stupid. I know people in their mid-20s who don't know what the Winter Solstice or an Equinox is.

I vaguely understand who Dapper Laughs is, I'm not entirely sure what Lena Dunham does and now I keep reading about this Zoella girl who has written a book or something.

Also, a lesbian moonbat fisherperson I know has just bought a puppy and called her Norman to show how right on and progressive she is.

>>17381
Search me. I have no idea on any of those things or people either. Didn't this "Zoella" person supposedly have something ghost-written shocker? Most celeb hardbacks are bloody ghost-written! Stewart Lee is laughing his way into his bedchamber as we speak.

"Right on" people have existed at least since the turn of the C20th afaik, your concern is nothing new.

>>17381>>17382

Nobody's forcing you to visit news sites and not read the articles.

>>17383
But why should I care if they've only been made known to me now? Surely, if they were of any importance like the Lord Chancellor or the guys in charge of various local public transport providers I might already know who those people are.

The problem might be that I don't really care, as I am online more than I am watching telly. Even then I don't watch it except for BBC and ITV when sports are on, and when online my path decidedly doesn't cross with a lot of other people I know and these online celebrities simply don't figure in my experience at all. We use fa.gs for a start, that rules most of us out of having a more popular, mainstream appreciation of the web, judging by how a lot of us conduct ourselves and the jokes and references we try to make.

Maybe you don't have mates?

I feel somewhat guilty about the following rant, but please don't judge me too harshly lads.

There's this fucking paki bitch who has just started work at my place. I sincerely apologise for using that racial slur, but frankly I can't think of any other way to describe her- She's not just your ordinary annoying asian girl. She's a fucking paki, you know? A fucking paki. Having known her for less than a week, and spoken to her directly fewer than half a dozen times, I already know her entire family history. All about her lovely arranged marriage and baby girl. I know every fucking detail of the birth. Because she does not shut the fuck up, and she talks as though she is speaking to someone on the other side of the window at the opposite end of the bloody office.

And her accent, good fucking lord. Again, I don't usually judge people negatively based on racial traits, and it wouldn't be a problem if she would at least shut her fucking mouth for at least five minutes every so often, but it drives me fucking mad. The worst aspects of Asian accents mixed with the most common of Yorkshire tongues, that are both perfectly fine on their own. But when mixed, it's just the most fucking grating kind of obnoxiously thick tone, that comes across as dense as a ton of lead.

She's like a real life racist caricature of her own race. I don't know how I'm going to put up with her.

>>17410

>I sincerely apologise for using that racial slur, but frankly I can't think of any other way to describe her

Then you are as thick and unpleasant as she is, please go away.

>>17410
I don't understand. Do you hate her because she talks too much, or because she is not white?

>>17412

Just the overall obnoxiousness of her personality in general, which regrettably, her ethnicity plays a part in, because she's the type who will bring it up at every turn ("Oh it's probably an Asian thing, but..." and so on).

You lot are probably southern poofs who've never needed to get your heads around the distinction between a paki and a paki anyway though, so I didn't expect you to understand.

>>17413

Are you also a caricature? Have you phased through from another dimension where everyone is a twat, as opposed to just most people?

You sound like those people who use that shitty Chris Rock bit to call people n*ggers.

Apparently you get banned for an hour if you post the proper word, so this post is late

>>17413
>You lot are probably southern poofs who've never needed to get your heads around the distinction between a paki and a paki anyway though, so I didn't expect you to understand.
It's not as though there are any immigrants down south.

I find myself increasingly incensed by those who continue to wear enamel British Legion poppies year round and simultaneously seem to come to the conclusion that soldiers being killed and maimed physically, mentally and emotionally is not political at all if you talk to them about war. It's not mental gymnastics of any kind I know, but part of this whole ARE BOYS rhetoric that has grown in recent years and shows just how culturally militarised so many of us appear to be. It ignores the fact that the infamous recent War in Iraq was decided politically, Afghanistan out of some sense of political superiority and moral justness.
War is generally political and economic, sod the religion angle, those wars dressed up as such are almost exclusively for the gain of a particular faction or nation-state.

War is ultimately a political decision, enforced through either public support or backhanded dealing that may use the old brocade of religion or ethnic nonsense to shield from view what have been and are currently dynastic wranglings. I don't like the idea of people being sent to kill and maim - and be killed and be maimed on a false sense of protecting ARE COUNTREH and how this is somehow conflated with a sense of acquiescence to the numerous half-blind judgements of any military decision made at the level of government and the military themselves once this mandate has been granted.

>>17414

Please, cease with your middle class word phobia. It's quite pathetic. People in real life use the sort of words you think are blasphemous all the time, and in so doing changed the intrinsic meaning, which has done far more to liberate minorities from prejudice than any of your moralising.

>>17415
Yeah but you get the nice ones. We get the smelly child raping ones.

>>17417

Ahh, yeah, I must be middle class to not want to call people pakis. I mean, I have no fucking idea how, but I guess I have several grands worth of savings no one's told me about. And I really should ask my uncle for that walk in job I've been promised since I finished secondary school. But which uncle, the alcoholic schizophrenic or the one that makes toilets? Hmm, I just don't fucking know, on account of how dim and middle class I am, no doubt, YOU ABSOLUTE FUCKING CUNT BRAINED SHIT MUNCHER!

Just because "real life" cunts, like yourself, think it's fine calling people pakis and faggots and whatever other demeaning slurs you like to slop out of that twathole you call a mouth, doesn't mean I have to. And I'm going to keep having a problem with it until you stop, or I explode that prick from series 1 of Heroes.

Maybe, just fucking maybe, the reason I can't stand this shit is because I've seen people have to put up with this language, and how it's used to make people feel belittled, excluded and abused.

I wish someone had spayed your cunt mother before your turd self dropped out of her, I really do.

>>17417
Racist epithets don't free anyone. It creates a demeaning and hostile environment, where you are not an individual, but part of this bigger group. You are many, and every action you take will reflect on the group. Be brown and rape someone? God help all the other law-abiding brownlads. That is something white people are free from, and will never understand. Is it too much to ask to stop being racist?

>>17421
>>17419

Jesus fucking christ. Fuck off back to tumblr you fucking crybabies.

Both of you have spectacularly missed the point because you are focussed on the traditional definitions of words that you have internalised as nasty, evil hate attacks. The point is that that is not always the context or intention with which they are used.

The reason I poke at you for being middle class is because if either of you had ever actually been exposed to sizable communities of asians, blacks, gays or whatnot, you'd know that they pretty much always reclaim the words that have been used to attack them in the past. As a white person you can't throw the word around as generously, but honestly, they don't get offended if you do once they know that you have been around long enough to understand the group dynamic and social context.

I guarantee you will never hear the word "paki" used more often than if you work in a call centre with a sizeable asian/eskimo employee base. And you will get used to being called a gura/gori/gwilo or whatever.

I mean jesus can you two listen to a song like this without having a heart attack?

>>17423
Not either of the lads you're arguing with, but you seem to have missed something rather important:
>once they know that you have been around long enough to understand the group dynamic and social context
That's probably true here as well, and since that context is impossible on an anonymous imageboard we don't know you well enough to know you're using 'paki' in whatever way you think makes it ok for you to do so, so you're just coming across as an aggressive racist who doesn't know what 'middle class' means.

I hate this obsession with race and racism. You're all getting too septic for my liking.

>>17423

Racistlad:

I agree, some words are just words - but let me put it simply - it's all in the context and intent.

The N word gets used a lot in a affectionate way, even amongst skinny white lads meeting up for their League of Legends tournament.

The way you described your pakistani worker, speaks volumes as you attached the worst attributes to the race. As if somehow, the two traits are inseparable. Then you go on about how it's "social" dynamics and it somehow alleviates any offence, but yet saying "fucking paki" no less.
I don't really get how race and being unpleasant can mix into this one identity of a person, but for a low-brow dense cunt like yourself, it's the hallmark of someone that is frustrated with their own shortcomings - and it has to be race.

I worked with this Indian lass once, she thought she was god's gift and she was spoilt and rather dim. It's the cultural upbringing that harbours that sort of thing, not specifically race. There are plenty of examples of white sub-groups that act like loud obnoxious morons.

You sound like a genuine pillock though, so I don't expect this to penetrate your vacuous head.

>White people arguing about racism on an imageboard

You could at least be civil to each other, it's a very dense subject that cannot really be discussed on an imageboard.

>>17428
But I'd have expected there to be a lot of dense people on image boards. It's the perfect place!

>>17428

I'm sort of sorry, although I maintain telling him his mother ought to have been spayed was rather good.

Honestly it was moreover the umpteenth time I was being called "middle class" that got to me. The frustration of being constantly faced with "real life" working class pricks, intent on proving all over class' assumptions about how thick and unthinking they are true, that is what made me go all ranty-ranty.

>>17427
>I worked with this Indian lass once, she thought she was god's gift and she was spoilt and rather dim. It's the cultural upbringing that harbours that sort of thing

Spoilt rich brats that behave like this are hardly an issue confined to race; I've met plenty of thick white girls, Asian girls, brown girls, pink polka dot spotted girls - who were all treated to the best education money could buy at daddy's purse strings, along with the latest Prada handbag, and then walked into jobs straight after their 2:2 degrees. And they all say "yah" a lot, and were distinct fans of the side-braid-across-the-head trend. And all seem to be called Poppy.

General incompetence. Perhaps these guys need a Certified Webmaster to help them out? I know just the man.
