not called Brad but rather a lad, from Bradford in the UK.
Enjoys breaking apps, escooters, spam rings and sometimes bones, but not my own. That sucks.

That’s strange. When I click the link from my front page feed I get the above but clicking from the comment section it’s fine 🤔

- Comment on Government should “urgently” legalise e-scooters says shared transport charity - says serious safety incidents are rare 3 months ago:
I think one thing that’s missing from the equation is testing and licensing to ride/drive them.
I know it’s an English forum here but you need to have a set of cojones to “drive” an escoot/EUC on our roads and I only use it to travel the short distance to work.
I’ve gone down arterial roads suited up with live Bradford traffic, and it’s not for the faint of heart lemmi tell ya :/

It’s something that’s irking me.
I’ve been a bicyclist, car driver, drive for a living and also have a VSett that goes a steady 35mph max which means I can lane check but, because I can’t fugging insure the thing means I’m always looking over my shoulder if I need to dump some
keeneager copper.I’m starting to think of selling it so I can get a
eBikeSurron instead and blend in with the local wildlife around here. - Comment on We unleashed Facebook and Instagram’s algorithms on blank accounts. They served up sexism and misogyny 4 months ago:
There is no argument, you’re just a prat that likes to call people names when they surface bullshit.
I’d apologise if you could fathom what goes on with your feed but I also know masochists also like this bullshit in their feed and bickering about it.
Have fun!

Believe me I will do, and there’s no harm in calling it out since it’s completely off topic to our fine nation.
But your bait with name calling is again, telling. Hope your thumb gets better :(

No they don’t.
Also, it’s nice to make easy tags against agenda based instance users piling in with uncivil remarks.
Really telling, and appreciated.

Tell ya agenda based posters stand out like a sore thumb and I’ve seen these accounts far too many times modding over on lel weddits.
Sent a couple of reports in for this 1 week old account, might be wise to fire some more in?

We also have KFC and McDonald’s, but does that mean a study from the US about them should be posted here too?
It’s really not on topic especially since it’s coming from an Australian study?

What’s this got to do with the UK exactly?

I find apps and Automod bots, are a better way of fucking that shit off even if users didn’t mean to post some =ref/tag infested URL.
Having bots post uninvoked as a reply to the OP though should be better managed as they detract the comments thread?
- Comment on Freely's Live UK Broadband TV Stream Service Goes Live 7 months ago:
I have two Rasp Pi Zero’s stuck behind my TV that cost me £10+£10 DVB HAT’s x 2 (before the COVID scalpers took effect) as a poor mans Homerun server that have plenty of storage - be that a new USB drive stuck in them or even using my NAS with NFS for storage.
Device cost/viability isn’t a thing here.
It’s getting people signing up to a service that’ll be plastered with adverts every 15 mins? I wouldn’t touch it with a barge pole.

They’ll take my TVHeadend servers out of my cold dead hands if they think I’m signing up for that?

I don’t want no Thames water thank you very much.
Yorkshire Water, rip us enough already and is an easy supply.

Needing 5k for either/both is a good night out. Don’t fuck about these bois do they, and can we speculate some more since it’ll probably be true?
Yeah, I know it’s 3am but I seriously need this…

I was going for illegal drug shortages at first from the title, and then that made me ponder the efficiency of the legal trade routes Vs illegal.

"It’s ridiculous. I understand they’re big dogs, they’re strong, and they could cause a lot of damage, but it’s down to the owners of the dog, because any dog is capable to bite and attack and hurt somebody.
Maybe they should be rated on a spider scale instead 🙄
Would you pet and keep this tarantula?

- Comment on Revealed: undercover UK police officer deceived woman into 19-year relationship 1 year ago:
Mary’s family, who live in an area in which relations with police have been fraught for many years, are concerned that members of their community may learn about the relationship and wrongly conclude that she knowingly collaborated with police.
Also known as a “pig fucker”.
You get labelled with that round 'ere and things are never the same again. Horrible stigma.
