Mine was actually a mid-reaction for an intellectually dishonest comment. You didn’t discover anyone, you pretended to, so you come across as non-mainstream.

I don’t mind feeling insecure. I wear it on my sleeve.

You’re too young to realise how hackneyed and stale the “I’ve never heard of… [celebrity you’ve definitely heard of]” is. Nobody cares who you’ve heard of.

Google exists.

You’re in a UK thread and you’ve never heard of Gary Lineker?

Sounds like you don’t consume any media or you have a TBI.

And you’re weirdly expressing pride at your own ignorance.

What an odd fucking comment.

You’re forgetting hole in the ozone

As a South African I find this so cringe. These people are an irrelevant minority still clinging to “the good old days.” Good fucking riddance.

Or techno viking

And it was a second class cabin. I was equally surprised. They seemed very humble though.

We actually talked mostly about South African politics. It was a month before Mandela passed away. They were fascinated to hear about living in SA.

When I travelled India a decade ago I shared a cabin on a 24 hour train journey with the head of the Indian air force and his father, the former head of the Indian air force, who flew jets in the last Indo-Pakistan war.

That’s my story. Thanks for listening.

Without clicking the link, that headline is tough to unpack.

They’re doing firing squad executions still?

Jesus Christ.

The “peer” that reviewed it was another LLM.

I eagerly await the world celebrating the passing of Stalin Lite.

No doubt the bloated orange mongrel, too, will have a gaudy and grandiose funeral one day, but I suspect the cheers will outshine the tears.

Fuck these despotic psychopaths. Just expire already, please.

I think it’s just “Make America Again” now.

I may or may not have been pirating media for over 20 years and this song and dance will never end.

Sure, the well known torrent sites have marginally less content and seeds than before but my Plex server may or may not still be packed full of classics and the latest releases.

The above may or may not be purely fictional and victimless. And no, I wouldn’t “steal a handbag.” Handbags aren’t infinite digital replicas, and handbag owners don’t drive supercars.

(I draw the line at software largely due to the risks, and partly due to Mac apps and Adobe suite being locked down pretty well. I’m happy to pay for software regardless. Netflix and Amazon on the other hand…)

Also, the ignorance regarding VPNs.

I hope you didn’t pay much for that room. Looks like a crack den.

The death of Apollo brought me here.

Comments like these are why I’ve stayed.
