Joke’s on you, I think everyone looks like a twat in a baseball cap.

Normalize calling everything invasive without mentioning which country it’s invasive in.
- Comment on apparently, the T button dosent exist for some people 4 days ago:
They’re a pretentious little prick.
- Comment on Is it normal to see this static when you close your eyes? 5 days ago:
I have it. I’m used to it. It’s not as if I can do something about it.
- Comment on How has there not yet been a leak of the Epstein files? Surely there is someone with access to them that could have been subject to worldwide pressure to let something out. 1 week ago:
Bits of them are being made public all the time. There’s so much incriminating stuff out there, it’s pretty damn obvious that nothing will affect Trump.
- Comment on How bad is it really to listen to music with headphones? My mother told me if I keep doing that I'd go deaf... Is that fearmongering? 1 week ago:
Oooh, they’re fun, especially when they happen in the middle of the night.
- Comment on How bad is it really to listen to music with headphones? My mother told me if I keep doing that I'd go deaf... Is that fearmongering? 1 week ago:
Trust me, you can get tinnitus from listening to very loud music just the once. I’ve had it since I stood next to a speaker during a concert. Why the speaker was so low down is beyond me. Wasn’t able to hear anything for a couple of hours and I’ve been hearing gas boiler noises ever since.

Or long covid. So many people have long covid it ain’t funny.
- Comment on How do you beat post-work floppiness? 1 week ago:
My neighbour doesn’t even go inside when she comes back from work, she parks her car, ditches her bag in the bike shed, hops on her bicycle and tears off into the distance. I’ve seen her on her racing bike in a suit.
So, don’t give yourself the chance to veg out, do something on the way back home or go for a walk before you go in?
- Comment on Did y'all ever felt curious about your parent's past? If your relationship with parents isn't close, how does one get their parent's story without making the interaction awkward? 1 week ago:
I ask my grandmother. My aunts and uncles are also quite happy to share things about my mother.
My dad happily volunteers stuff he used to be up to in the old days, I don’t have to ask.
- Comment on why are upper middle class or upper class people hated? (if they are) 2 weeks ago:
Upper class =/= rich. Love, European, upper class and skint.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
No, because there was never a let them eat cake phase.
- Comment on What's the best way to ease getting back in shape after years of little to no exercise? 3 weeks ago:
There’s no such thing as bad weather, just bad clothing. Get yourself a decent hiking jacket, trousers and shoes.
- Comment on What do they do with aborted fetuses? 3 weeks ago:
Depends on the state. Some states require the foetus to treated as medical waste. They’ve recently changed that in the SW (I can’t remember if it was BW or RP).
- Comment on Why isn't the rest of the world doing anything about the USA? 3 weeks ago:
The rest of the world has been trying to do something and has received threats from Trump in return.
- Comment on Never buying milk from Walmart again 3 weeks ago:
It doesn’t look curdled, though. The liquid doesn’t look yellowish and semi transparent enough.
- Comment on Never buying milk from Walmart again 3 weeks ago:
Stop wasting food.
- Comment on Is it wrong that I want one? 3 weeks ago:
I’m reminded of that Loriot sketch in Germany, with grandpa buying a game for Christmas.
“And when there is an accident all the little trees and cows fall over.”
- Comment on Why do seemingly all politicians (and no one else) do that hand gesture when they talk, the one where it looks like they're holding an invisible fishing rod? 3 weeks ago:
Of course, by now, this has become an aggressive hand gesture.
- Comment on Evangelicals in the US vs Protestants ib Europe? 3 weeks ago:
The protestants in Urk and the Dutch Bible Belt are definitely not more progressive than the Catholics.

Which one do you suggest?

Revanced.
- Comment on Youtube can detect VPNs now... the fuck? 4 weeks ago:
I’m surprised it took so long, I’ve not been able to watch Channel 5 for years.
- Comment on What are some good uses the new ballroom can have after the Trump regime is over? 4 weeks ago:
Especially because there’s a bunker underneath.
I’m willing to bet this is all about modernising the bunker, not the east wing.
- Comment on Do Americans expect the NK protest to achieve anything? 5 weeks ago:
Nah. Millions of people protesting didn’t stop Brexit. Millions of people protesting didn’t stop Tory cuts.
- Comment on THE CRAZY PILLS 1 month ago:
And those who had been convinced before being sent to a concentration camp were sent back to prison to finish their sentences.
- Comment on Aight. Let's be honest. How many of you dress for yourselves, and how many dress for others? 1 month ago:
Because I’d be cold.
- Comment on Can a person who is a convicted felon/ rapist even get nominated for the Nobel Peace Price? Extra points if you can ELI5 that. 1 month ago:
It’s really hard to judge things that didn’t happen. See also vaccines.

This is only done when there’s an unexpected frost in spring or summer when the poly tunnels have been taken away.
