Oh that's harsh! Jumping straight into Latin is brutal. We at least did French and German before Latin. Not sure many schools still bother these days. Ancient Greek sadly came in as I left. Bastards 😂
I know what it's like to be mocked and teased and cry myself to sleep by the light of a burning donkey. Totally normal human. No God people, no red yanks, no nuns, no nuns, none. Nowhere near the United States of WTF. DMs are off for a reason.

Well, I only use this and not often, but I don't see that the two are mutually exclusive.
... it's "some bloke down the pub" but backed up by other morons. Critical thinking needs to make a comeback.
We do, and possibly always have. Sadly they have an outlet now. Look at those Tate creatures, rallying the incels to their pathetic, rapey, cause. I do think social media had a big hand in it though. A quick meme or soundbite, or tiktok video is easier than actually educating yourself...
Fascism?
Or worse, they did.
Probably because you notice, and appreciate, the women in your life. To rethuglicans they're chattle.
We have free contraception and vasectomies. It's awesome. Husband only waited a month.
They're trying. There was a piece about them having toxic chemicals (can't remember where, sorry!). Luckily it was debunked, but its out there now for the loonies to rally around.
I will never understand it. Maybe it's the human need to explain the bad things in the world as simply as possible? It was the gods, now is it brown people? A single scapegoat. Wish people would wake up and realise we're all humans, and we're all valid... bar the Maga nazis of course!
I miss the days of scientific innovation where they could mess around and find awesome stuff (a lot were mistakes, like penicillin). Now, unless it'll make money or the outcome is certain, they don't bother. Imagine what we could discover if research weren't for profit.
I remember watching some Polish plasterers opposite our old house in Kent... my god they didn't stop, did an incredible job, and were unfailingly neat and polite. Try getting a British workman to turn up! (Not always true, but... kind of true). Fruit picking is damn hard work!
Yup! It's definitely missing a few things, but I've not needed to go back to Chrome at least. Plus they stopped allowing plugins so when I used it for work, I couldn't fo half of what I needed (video recording and bugherd were the big ones).
Thank you!! ❤️
Ah. The old Focus estates were Tardises (Tardii?). I don't need much, just a few bags of feed, but I would like some space. My old 530 estate was epic - 9 food Christmas tree with no issues. I miss it in some ways!
Exactly! Or the billionaires... but definitely brown people are the issue 🙄
Wow! Worse than I even thought.
Weirdly, we didn't! Juvenal, Iliad, Odyssey and the Aeneid were the top ones, and actually really good. Also dashes of Marcus Aurelius, Aristophanes (love him!), and, of course, Seneca. It was a pretty rounded classical education, if a little too Roman for my Greek sensibilities 😉
I love Wikipedia. Brave is great, still some AI on there but you can turn it off. It's useful as it tends to default to Wikipedia, rather than the top results. It misses a few things, but still miles better than Chrome. DuckDuckGo is great with privacy too.
And we're lucky to manage that! We lost a lot of nurses and care home staff who still need replacing.
Aside from the flaming death trap, banned in all other countries? Gotcha.
"Free shit" you mean basic human rights EVERY OTHER civilised country has but America? No wonder your country is so fucked up.
Lying prick. Now he says he's going to auction the hat for charity. Give it back to the kid AND make a generous donation. You got caught, make amends, or fuck off.
Just fuck off you prick
Sad little troll.
If you can find a copy, I highly recommend a book called The Paladin by Brian Garfield. It was hard to find last I looked, but a great read.
Trying to reach people on social media. Come on, this shouldn't be hard to grasp 🙄
I live in a civilised country, but I remember our Latin teacher telling us not to read book 6 of Juvenal. Every single person in that year bought a copy. Bonus, it was a Penguin classic and only cost £1. The man was a genius at teenage psychology.
Giving up all your ECHR rights to get rid of brown people... sounds like a Refuck voter to me.
Been using Brave for nearly a year now. Fuck Google.
The Christmas shite has started too. Ugh.
It's amazing the difference! We've done with airsoft guns, and the Brits were all over it, the French couldn't care less 😂
The EV6 is lovely actually. My husband was looking at one for when his 330 dies. Probably be a good dog car, but I need to check if the boot is aesthetic, or useful! Like those awful Evoque things you can't even get a bale of hay in. No thanks!
It was never a thing here until it got imported from the States. Then I learned to hate it. Luckily we don't get visitors here which is a relief.
Same! I loved Christmas as a kid, but everything was shut and it was all about family and long walks. We always had a picnic too, rather than the stupid roast dinner thing. I just hate how it starts in September and doesn't seem to ever end. They may as well put signs up saying "consume".
I helped mum do a load of Halloween food when she volunteered at the local railway, it was good fun. I loved the apple pie (with food dye to make it snot green), with little icing spiders coming out of "cracks" we made. The kids loved it.
Of course they are. Erase it so people can't see it coming. Same in the UK too, to a degree. We need to teach everyone about the dark sides of every country's history so we can measure how much we've changed... or not.
Maybe. Not a party person myself though, I'd rather be at home.
🤣 You're not wrong!
Ooh that sounds delicious! I'm convinced food is the great leveller, and who doesn't love sharing recipes that remind us of home or family?!
I hate the commercialisation of it, cheap plastic decorations, more pushing to buy stuff nobody needs and is a waste of resources and cash. I also hate that time of year, reminds me of school and cold, wet, days with no sun.
That I could get behind. It's the plasticky, tacky shite I can't stand. Plus strangers. Eww.
It's the plasticity, gimmicky, strange people at your doorstep, American shite I can't stand. Tacky decor in Sainsbury's, etc. Just... eww.
Too many guns... oh sorry, you're talking about vaccines.
How about no? How about making this a teachable moment in America's history and making damn sure everyone knows what happened well enough not to let fascism in. Again. Whitewashing and ignoring history is what they would do, so do better.
And that's how history is whitewashed and repeated. Admit this one at least, America, or your shameful past will remain your future. Teach this to every, single, child as a warning.
So that's why we have this Halloween shit. I hate it more than I can say. At least we're rural so don't have to deal with it directly. Only became a thing here recently and it can fuck off back where it came from 🤣
We adopted our boy 2 weeks ago. I was cuddling him to reassure him in the car, and at some lights on the way home a lady all but leaned out of her camper, grinning and waving. It made our day! I'll remember her for a long time.
In fairness, Covid ushered in a new era of selfishness. It was around anyway, and isolation and an "I'm ok, Jack" attitude amplified it, here in the UK anyway. People got rude, litter started appearing everywhere, and folks seemed to forget the little social niceties that make the world tolerable.
Haha, I remember it well! We're on a farm and it was still an effort to get an FAC... As it should be. I'm all for it, annoying though it can be.
There are. Waiting for something nice though as I'm a car person. Will be getting solar soon, so it makes sense. I just refuse to buy an SUV 🤢
I just can't watch. Every time the orange thing is on the news (I don't watch it, dad does), I have to walk away before I throw cooking implements at the TV. I can only handle so much dumb.
Oh it was so lovely to see! You're right, I was shocked at some of the reactions, shocked and saddened.
Yes, but you have to be inspected, have a mental health assessment/check you're OK to own one, have land or a club to shoot, and proper gun cabinets etc. There are rules and procedures in place here. You can't walk into Walmart and buy a death machine. Even airsoft is restricted.
They'll ignore it like they did segregation and healthcare.
Oooft no, the last thing the current US government wants is educated children, or there'd be no maga.
Go fuck yourself. You're not even a good troll, just a god damn idiot.
Blindly supporting either is also batshit insane.
The sad thing is, most people are positively impacted by multiculturalism. I remember my first fresh made chapati by a friend's mum... we sent back a selection of Greek biscuits, and the great recipe exchange began. I feel sad that people would rather find a reason to hate than embrace it.
Absolutely spot on. He's such a good tonic to the "boys don't cry" idiots too. Does my heart glad to know men, and fathers, like this are out there, quietly doing their best.
It's a Maga thing. Brainless, spineless, obsessed with genitalia. You know, a cunt.
Also very much the guns.
He seems like a genuinely good and kind man. Wish there were more like him, on both sides of the pond.
Only a Tyrant they disagree with...
And you ADMIT to supporting a felon, rapist, paedophile? Shame on you. Shame.
They are... just not in America. Europe actually has safety standards, plus they're obnoxiously massive.
Ask America. Seems rife over there. You'd think we'd learn from their stupidity!
Agreed. Bloody things are MASSIVE, plus the extra tyre wear and bits of rubber. When they can do a sensibly sized EV, I'd consider it.
Well amnesties are a good start, or simply regulating them. There's no quick answer, but the US has a serious problem!
Oh no! Never mind, hopefully they'll see sense soon, and the other, much better, EV companies will arrive.
Yes! Happy to give a take away order to a machine, and let them do dangerous or boring jobs, but leave the art to the humans.
Keep drinking the coolaid. Cunt.
Now that's honest! We just had people try and mug us at the train station, usually unsuccessfully 🤣 Had the odd fight, but the school was very strict... sadly. Some of them could have done with it, TBH!
Ah yes, the robotaxi that will plough through schoolchildren faster than an active shooter. (Sorry).
Hard disagree. Has America not learned that destroying history means repeating it? Teach this time, tell kids about the dangers of cult worship and fascism. Use this as a teachable moment and try and grow as a country.
Military yes, if we must continue to kill each other. Civilians - absolutely no need, unless as you say, they're a shit shot and a terrible human!
Well I'm in the UK where we can have properly regulated guns, with a licence and a mental health assessment. We also don't have school shootings on a daily basis. Nobody needs an AR15.
That makes absolutely no sense, but then you're clearly a cunt, so I'm hardly surprised. Fuck. Off. You. Idiot.
We had 1. We banned guns. It's not that hard!
You are, but we're the ones who suffer for it.
Haha! Then they should stop making shit cars 🤷♀️🤣
Nope, they're banned, whoop! Wish they'd ban all of the ugly things to be honest.
For Americans, all of it. Now tell them its not a country and watch their heads explode while they try and relate everything to the size of Tex-arse.
Because you're fascist nightmares that nobody has ever liked? Because we don't like right wing Nazis? Maybe because you're unlikeable bullies? Just a few to be getting on with.
All the more reason to boycott the cunts.
It's a Trumpet fan... do not expect sense!
I'd rather take the bus than a free Swastikkkar.
Only 40%? I'll keep giving them all the middle finger then. Cunts in Wankpanzers. We don't need those round here.
It's worked in every other country, but education and actual, proper, screening would be a good place to start.
It is thankfully! And lots more today. Phew.
Same. It can be useful as a sounding board, or collating meeting notes etc., but I'd rather art be created by feeling humans, and that they get paid appropriately. As if it isn't hard enough to make a living in those fields!
Agreed. Bloody things weigh a ton, and those stupid SUV things nobody in a city needs. Bleh!
Our government... damn lack of an edit button!
Ah, thanks. Wasn't sure how it worked over there. Out government keeps giving tax incentives for diesels, now EVs, but then they go through the roof 🙄
Oh wow!! I did not know that. You are a fount of knowledge, I love it!! I forget it was broken down into so many independent areas, all fascinating. It would be nice to visit and NOT tour the circuits though 🤣 It's such varied and beautiful terrain, and obviously I'm a big fan of the German people!
Same! Old, dyslexic and ADHD 🤣 That's probably why it stood out to my daft brain. Hope you can come and visit this beautiful place soon.
You can turn it off on mine too. Not sure if that's an option on a Rav 4, but might be worth a look if it annoys him.
Yes, I live here, but an odd one to use!
Oh wow! That's amazing. I'm all for that too. The meat and cheese at Aldi... expectedly superb, but maybe DM will make it here eventually 🤞
