>For the record if you're managing to get yourself labled a Tory cunt and a unreconsituted Stalinist it's probably your fault.

I've no idea what it's like these days, but it used to be rife BTL that commenters would be desperate to label anyone with a differing viewpoint as the other so they could outright dismiss their opinion as they had no real idea how to constructively challenge or dismantle it.

>>33773

I'm detecting a lot of criticism here sir

Man's got a point tho.

You lads know me as the resident "it's always about class" die hard socialist, but I've been banned from practically every single lefty subreddit, for a whole host of petty reasons. The Blairite Labour sub banned me for both being a rampant anti-Semite Corbynite, and the Momentum one banned me for being a crypto-right wing Blairite. You can always tell it was really just that some indignant cunt of a moderator didn't like what you had to say, and found a flimsy excuse to ban you to shut you up.

The internet nowadays is filled with echo chambers that really are just places people want to mutually ego-masturbate, and hate having any dissenting opinion, even (or especially) when it comes from someone who is on "their side". They are not places for discussion, they are places for validation.

>>33775

I'd give you that adage about "If you run into a cunt, you ran into a cunt. If you run into cunts all day..." but it's reddit you're talking about.

>>33775

Who actually goes to reddit for earnest debate.

>>33776
>>33777

So where exactly do you go instead, smartlads?

Exactly.

>>33778
Here, obviously.

I've picked up the entire A Series of Unfortunate Events books from a charity shop today. They're unread and would be in mint condition if it wasn't for the fact one of the volunteers decided to write the price on the sticky labels after they'd put them on the covers, rather than before like a normal person, meaning
each one has £1 deeply embossed on the front.

>>33781
Well that's an unfortunate event innit.

>>33782
If they've done it on every single book, it would be a whole series of them.

People who have such poor control of their supermarket trolley that they keep bumping into you or miss your car by a mere fraction of an inch while going past it in the car park.

>>33784
>miss your car by a mere fraction of an inch while going past it in the car park
I do this on purpose because I get points for a close miss. The closer the miss, the more points I get.

I think my favourite thing about infinite scrollnig is how often is simply breaks down entirely and makes an entire webpage basically unusable, or at the very least much more of a hassle.

I'm glad I wasn't complaining about infinite *scrolling in a work email. Don't buy a cheap wireless keyboard, lads, it's not worth it.

>>33786
Facebook is entirely broken now. If I click a picture to look at it, I can't click the X to get rid of it. I have to press Esc on my computer keyboard, which is no use for the colossal percentage of Facebook users who are on a phone or tablet.

Does the bloody Archers really have to be on about four times a fucking day? No matter when I choose to have my lunch or fag breaks, it's always the fucking Archers.

>>33789
Now you can get that awful feeling anytime you like:

You could probably pick out something else from the Radio 4 schedule via the Whatever BBC Radio Player Is Called This Week app.

A new series of Father Brown has started today but I don't think Bunty is in it.

I really like It's Always Sunny, not exactly a controversial opinion, but whenever they use CGI for a gag I just don't find it even a little bit funny. Maybe there's some gene in my head that makes me hyper aware of it, or I'm just a prick. Both could be true also.

>>33792

When have they done this? I don't doubt they have, I just don't remember it.

>>33793
There's the boat burning the end of the "implication" episode and the blood effect when Dee's hair gets ripped out when they visit the Jersey Shore. I think there are some others too, but those are the ones I've seen most recently. I get why they have to do it, but even so.

>>33791
God Peterson is so old now.

My shopping delivery is late. I was told as the slot came that it was going to be late. At 4pm I got a notiification saying it had been picked. At 7pm I got a notificfation saying I was next. I'm not sure where the previous delivery was because it's been an hour since then and it's still not here.

Also, hilariously, one of the substitutions is for an item I added because the thing I wanted was out of stock. They've substituted it with ... the thing I wanted in the first place.

Any man who's ever worn a black shirt with a red tie should be deeply ashamed of himself.

>>33797

Woah woah woah.

>>33798
Case-in-point.

I closed my bank accounts with HSBC years ago, both the member of staff and the manager confirmed they were closed in person.
But I'm still getting emails from them which have turned into text messages saying I owe them for overdraft. I haven't got the cards, can't log into Internet banking, haven't authorised any payments or direct debits, local branch is closed so can't go there to sort it out and because I closed the accounts I don't have a record of the details they need to "verify" me on the phone because the people on there have no power whatsoever. Thanks to their fuck-up I'm being extorted by this fucking robot-voiced bureaucrat of a machine that'll keep racking up the bills because it every supposed way to opt out is a catch-22.

>>33800
Might be a pain in the arse but go to the nearest branch that isn't closed? Be less of a pain in the arse than trying to fight a CCJ.

A bit annoying when some moron spends a week - A WEEK - researching a fucking Chinese made hook and keeps on posting about it.

>>33801
That's the plan, I was just pissed off as I made a special trip to my nearest branch to find it shut down and the next-nearest closing for the day in the same amount of time it would take to get there.

Years of browsing the stupidest imageboards on the planet Earth has made it so this is the first I'm hearing of a Chinese hook. In fact I'm inured to the ramblings of the more mentally ill netizens I had to reread the post in this thread because I thought maybe it was a hook like in a song, which is a prime example of how incredibly powerful my mind has become through years of training. Just try to make me pay attention, I can't do it.

>>33804
Mate, just buy it. You don't need years of academic studies before buying them.

>>33802
I don't see why you're getting your knickers in a twist about hooklad. If it wasn't for him there wouldn't have been a single post in the weekday general thread yesterday; would you prefer that nobody posts at all?

>>33804
Don't forget your stylish cape!

>>33807
What?

The inflationary use of the attribute "vegan" in the last two to three years on food products that have by their nature always been vegan. I spotted a vegetable oil in Tesco tonight that touts itself as "100% vegan", as well as a bag of frozen chips that does the same.

Even some brands of hair shampoo seem to be in on it now. Who the fuck eats their shampoo.

>>33809

We had the same thing a few years ago with "gluten free".

>>33809
I tried looking through the Ocado veganuary promotion but there was hundreds of items because it included things like Shredded Wheat and orange juice, so I gave up.

>>33809
I prefer "vegan" over the glut of "plant based". My shit is "plant based", it means nothing on your advertising copy, say you're vegan or vegetarian and fuck off with that "plant based" none sense.

I bought the fanciest wine I could find in a shop, the 2020 Chateauneuf du Pape red wine from Asda for £18, a few weeks ago. I haven't opened it for ages, because I don't want to drink it all in one go and I didn't have a bottle stopper to close the bottle again. But then I bought one! And I just opened the wine, and it really is very nice. It has a very mellow flavour, great for someone who wanted to feel fancy but doesn't particularly like wine.

Anyway, the bottle stopper is fucked. I don't think it works at all. You're meant to be able to push it onto the top of the bottle, then press the button for a vacuum seal. It wouldn't go on, and in the end I got it on by applying most of my body weight. Predictably, the button does fuck all now, and I am somewhat uncertain that I'll be able to remove it again. Fuck everything. Never buy anything nice, ever. Just stab people and take it. It's no worse than this world deserves.

>>33813
It's a message from the universe to just drink all the wine.

>>33813
You could try sabreing it, but I think that specifically only works with unopened champagne. Also you're lurching into The Lady Who Swallowed a Fly territory.

I think it says something about me that that's probably my most frequent literary reference, and it's not something good.

Girlfriend has fallen asleep on my lap. I don't have the heart to wake her up, but I've been stuck here holding in a piss for four episodes of Red Dwarf and my vape liquid has almost run out. It mostly goes to shit after the second series too.

>>33816
This is why they stash pillows.

>>33816
Should have pissed into the empty vape chamber.

>>33818

New slang for arse just dropped.

>>33819
We must innovate to survive.

>>33816
I wouldn't draw the line at the second series, don't be a snob.

>>33821

Well, it still has plenty of laughs throughout series 3, but it's definitely getting stale by 4 and 5. 6 is puffing it's last breaths, and I don't think you'd disagree with me that by 7 it was dead. Especially if you binge watch it, you really notice some of the recycled jokes and premises.

It's weird for me though because I remember watching it a lot as a kid in the mid-late 90s, and none of it is really how I remember, which I'm sure affects how I judge it.

Cracked the windscreen of my new (to me) car after owning it for one day, whilst replacing the old wipers.

Fuck my LIFE. God forBID I have anyhing nice. It's covered on my insurance but it's still £115.
