So I rang 101 this afternoon to inquire about my speeding ticket, as it has been 14 days since I thought I got caught going 37-38ish in a 30 zone. They were a bit reluctant to tell me on the phone and told me normally you're now supposed to fill in their form first on their website, but we got there.

I was getting worried that maybe there was a problem with my V5C, which I know I updated in late 2023 when I last moved, but it turned out that information was up to date. Anyway, policelad said on the phone that they have "no record" of my car going past that camera "at an illegal speed at any time recently". He told me they don't really like to admit it, but occasionally there can be glitches with the cameras that prevent them from collecting or transferring data accurately. But that I should take no chances on having the same luck next time. He then asked me, "How fast do you believe you were going?". It sounded a bit like a trap, although it probably wouldn't have been prosecutable evidence, me telling him truthfully on the phone. In any case, I wasn't going to tell on myself more than I had to, so I said, "Just barely over... maybe not at all, I'm not sure". He then gave me a brief lecture about the importance of speed limits and minding them, and let me off. That was pretty much it. So yeah. I got lucky this time. I'll start paying more attention now.

How specific is it okay to get when making Amazon purchases? Can I actually put anal douche in, creating tracking and purchase history, while relying on discrete packaging?
When I bought vaping oils I was later inundated with ads through the letterbox. I dread to buy poppers even with a pseudonym, lest my flatmates find out.
I'd rather not don a trench coat and dare witness the private shop.

We should have a /horny/ megathread somewhere. None of this [x/y] shit.

I know shrinkflation is an issue, but I've had to use almost two full multipack packet of crisps to make an adequate crisp sandwich.

Holy shit that's brilliant. Thanks!

Did you know you can have cheese on minestrone soup?

Went for a wander around the city today, the old haunts.
I suddenly feel completely out of place, being 39 and around places I've visited for years. Everyone's too young now. The square is full of goth kids where I used to hang out with my own greb friends who are now mostly stuck with two children and dead end jobs. Even forbidden planet seems to be full of blind bag labubu shit.

A guy I know and haven't seen in a very long time apparently has had an autologous hair transplant and it looks kind of underwhelming. You can tell that that's not his natural hairline from five metres away. The density is also a bit off, and the hair roots kind of look too regular. Almost like a grid pattern. I didn't say a word or comment on it, just looked at it and drew my own conclusions.

Seeing him has kind of discouraged me from pursuing my own hair transplant. I've got only about a centimetre of natural hairline missing in the front, so that you wouldn't normally perceive me as bald if you saw me in the street. But if the result ends up looking like that lad, then I think it might be better to just live with it.

I'm not saying "poor people can't have nice things" but if you live on a terraced street in Blackpool and you're spending £450 on a dress for a primary school child to wear to a school prom, this is the kind of reason why you stay poor.

>>471872
>I've got only about a centimetre of natural hairline missing in the front
Alternatively you have a 1 centimetre strip of naturally developed baldness.
There's nothing wrong with hair loss, it happens to people. Get over it or you'll end up looking like a cheap threaded hair plastic doll.

>>471874

>or you'll end up looking like a cheap threaded hair plastic doll

That's actually what came to my mind when I saw him. His hair looked just like that.

>>471873

>I'm not saying "poor people can't have nice things"

Right, and you don't seem to have a very strong sense of empathy either. What's wrong with you lad.

>>471873
>"poor people can't have nice things"
How would you suggest they live, specifically?
I've lived sans fridge now for (i think) 2 years, possibly more. I balk at a shopping recipt over £12 for the week. I'm wearing visibly patched, threadbare trousers. My furniture is either homemade, bodged from cord-seated stools or 3rd hand free.

I did try to buy myself new shoes today but I suppose £65 is breaking the bank when instead I could thread some scrap leather over the pair rubber-soles that've been sat in the gutter all week.

How many Yorkshire men we gon get?

Would you believe I went to the dump yesterday and was shocked at the kinds of things people threw away? There was a full sewing machine, a large iron hoop, fucking intact riders jacket, among masses of quality materials - wood, metal, plastic. And people just chucked it all out, wasted. It makes no fucking sense.

>>471879
No I wouldn't believe you were shocked. You're fully aware of what a weirdo you are.

>>471888
Oh no you didn't!

>>471872
Alas, my hair has started creeping back a bit over the last couple of years and as somebody who's had a long hair since a teenlad, it's rather distressing.


If it properly goes, I'll just buzz it all and buy a selection of novelty wigs.

>>471935

There is another way, but fortune favours only the bald bold.

Do black people have white ghosts?

>>471935

>Alas, my hair has started creeping back a bit over the last couple of years and as somebody who's had a long hair since a teenlad, it's rather distressing.

You sound like a 70 year old Etonian. Although in that case you probably wouldn't have had long hair.

You could go the route of the lad I talked about the other day, who has had a hair implant with underwhelming results.

Seriously though, it looked a bit shit. I know it's rude to comment on things that people are quite likely self conscious about, but I really had to bite my tongue not to ask him if it was worth the weekend trip to Istanbul.

>>471985
Lol wtf are you suggesting?

>>471994
Maybe they're purple or something?

Just drove four miles to a petrol station with my range flashing zero.

So apparently when it goes to zero there's still four miles worth of petrol left in the tank. Good to know.

I just found a great big false widow on my celiling. Big fat body, about the legspan of a 50p piece. They've bitten me twice before, not happening again. Out you go, love!

I know we pretty much finished that conversation but: Does it occur to anyone else that a lot of the flag spraying is being done as a bit of, you know... Trolling? Bantz? Taking the piss? Because I have seen them in increasingly daft places.

Like it's just become a national IRL meme over the course of a couple of weeks, like "cozzie livs" and what have you.

>>472001
Wrong thread, dickhead.

>>472001
I got back from Somerset earlier today, and my street is full of England flags. I really didn't think we'd have them, because while I do live in a council sink estate, everyone is white (with Irish heritage) and absolutely nobody votes Reform. So it's definitely caught on. The spray-painting will certainly mostly be the work of people who don't normally do that sort of thing, and some of them will be people with a sense of humour, but I imagine they will still love flags so it'll be hard to separate the ironic flags from the sincere flags.

Where have you seen them?

>>472002

It's Tuesday. This is the right thread. I let you all off yesterday because it was the bank holiday.

>>472003

I saw one on a billboard and the bloke's white t-shirt had been sprayed with a cross. I would have taken a picture but I was driving.

I think it's become a bit like that thing if you've ever had it, where one of your flatmates or work mates get hold of some googly eyes, and before long it's a competition to see where's the daftest place you can stick them.

Is this a (hehehehe) false flag? I can't really fathom how someone could start painting the St George's cross with inverted colours, and not notice it and correct it. It doesn't really make sense. Especially if it's the people who have been doing a bunch of proper St George's Crosses throughout the town.

My suspicion is someone did it specifically to make the people who paint these crosses look retarded. But you don't need a false flag to make people thing these people are retarded, it's totally organic.

Amazon bloke's probably getting annoyed that he's had to come to my house three days in a row, he didn't even knock today and just chucked it at my doorstep. Not my fault that the items I ordered in one go all got split up.

>>472006
A few have turned up in Wales too, which has garnered predictable reactions.

>>472012

Oooh somebody should start doing them in Scotland.

Are her teeth usually so shiny?

>>472022

How the fuck should we know? You're 99% of her viewership at this point.

Mass shooter killed some kids, many more wounded, in a Catholic school. He shot himself after. He posted his manifesto and a video online hours before the attack. I'm watching it now. He has written on his guns and magazines. One gun says "fuck Donald Trump". The others have threats and memes. The Loss meme is on one mag. Another has "I'm the Woker baby, why so Queerious?" There's footage of him (or they I guess) in pigtails.

I don't think this is a false flag. But I think if someone were to do a false flag to make atheists, trans, and leftists look bad, they would never be able to do as good a job as this.

>>472025
Actually looking at other mags there's anti-Jew and anti-Latin stuff. So maybe he's not a leftist. Still makes trans look bad. Actually embarrassing that a 20 something year old adult would not only do a mass shooting of children, but do it with "trolololololololo" and "skibi rizz" on his mags.

>>472022

If you'd spend less time just wanking to her videos, you'd probably know.

In all fairness she's somewhat attractive, I wouldn't mind her, but she needs to branch out more. She definitely has the talent for obsetvational comedy, but her impressions of annoying people are getting a bit monotonous.

She could become a young Ellie Taylor, if she starts playing her cards right.

>>472025

It's clearly somebody with a sense of meta-irony and not a true believer, because genuine woke types would signal very differently, they wouldn't want to use the kind of meme language that would even vaguely associate them with a 4chan type. But I think if nothing else, it sends the message that it's not an issue of any particular ideology, it's an individual going off the rails regardless which side of /pol/ they prefer to shitpost on.

The tragedy of these ocurrences, which are so frequent they hardly make the news any more, is that we should then take heed and examine what we as a society may be doing wrong to push people into going off the rails like this, but we don't. The film Joker actually really upset me because that was exactly the point it was making, and loads of people reacted negatively to it because of that.

America is fucking weird.

>They identify as "vegan anarchotranshumanists"

Why do I have such a strong conviction that it's the vegan part that pushes them over the edge into being serial shooterists.

Americans will look at this photo and think "it was their, politics that's the problem", and not the arsenal of firearms any idiot can pick up.

I've never quite understood the appeal of going out and then heading to an afters. I totally understand being horny and thinking that you'll suddenly become the minge-whisperer if you take a bird you struck out with in Da Club to someone's dingy flat do more drugs, but if you don't have that as a totally valid and reasonable excuse, what's the point? Everyone's chasing a high that reached its peak hours and hours ago, whilst waiting for diminished returns to finally kick in, at which point they realise heading home for a good day's sleep is a good idea. Meanwhile, everyone becomes progressively less lucid in that negative way which makes them less interesting to talk to.

Drugs are at their best when used to enhance moments that would be still be good without them, not to make mediocre moments more palatable.

>>472034

Not to be glib, but I think you answered your own question, there. Many are hoping to fuck.

>>472034

>Drugs are at their best when used to enhance moments that would be still be good without them, not to make mediocre moments more palatable.

But they do still make the mediocre ones more palatable. That's a pretty strong part of the draw.

>>472029
A lot of people on /pol/ were connecting it to this.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/764_(organization)

I conflated 764 with Zizians before I read it, but 764 seems a lot more fucked up and genuinely horrible to read about.

>>472034

The afters is purgatory. The party is most definitely over, but you don't want to go home and face reality. You know that you should just call it quits and go to bed, but that's a bit too much like confronting your own mortality.

>>472012
Even more of the same. Genius.

There have been a couple on roundabouts, some of which lasted less than half an hour before some indignant locals painted over them.

This one in Swansea clearly wasn't fixed by the council.

>>472033
They will find literally any fucking excuse to avoid the elephant in the room. Doors are a common diversion. Too many doors, not enough doors, locked doors, unlocked doors, should have had doors that fold out into walls, etc.

Elephant? What elephant? Is this elephant in the room with us right now?

>>472051

To be totally fair, that elephant has been in the room for most of the country's history, and it's only in the last 20 or so years that mass murder has become a national pastime. So I can kind of understand why they don't see it as the source of the problem, otherwise why didn't they have a mass shooting rampage every other week in the 1950s or 1970s too? It's just that they are also unwilling to look at... Basically anything else at all as the source of the problem either, and they just want to carry on exactly as things are changing nothing and expect it to go away if they talk about it enough.

>>472052

The US has always been exceptionally violent for a first-world country; their homicide rate is still higher than every European country if you exclude all the gun crime. Mass shootings only make up about 1% of firearms homicides, with the bulk of them being domestic killings and gang-related crime.

Mass shootings have been relatively common in the US for many decades - the University of Texas tower shooting happened in 1966 - but there has been a sharp increase since 2011. Part of that can be explained by much wider ownership of semi-automatic rifles, but the main driver of that recent increase is likely to be social contagion:
